3 Reasons to Try DAWless

video upload by Jeremy Parker

"Here's my latest DAWless setup for live MIDI sequencing with my hardware synths. It centers around the Retrokits RK008, with my Nord Stage 4, miniKORG 700fs, Moog Minitaur and Elektron Analog Rytm MKII. Although I love using my main DAW, Cockos Reaper, for producing finished music, there are 3 advantages that this DAWless setup has, a couple of which were a little unexpected. And there is a bunch of good original music that came right out of this new setup, so enjoy!

"Patches will be available at https://www.orano.co.uk/shop or http://www.synthsounds.co.uk

So it's December 31st and we are all nearing the close of 2023. what an amazing year it has been for new synths! and new synth companies throwing some serious competition into the market! we seem to be in a golden age of synthesis, and long may it last I say!

For the final video of 2023, I put together a split patch of bass and bells, BECAUSE here in Scotland we say "Bringing in the Bells" at new year time, just before we all link arms and sing "auld lang syne" at midnight which translated means 'times long past'...

I'd like to take this opportunity to say thanks for all who watched, subscribed, asked questions, commented and purchased my banks over the past year! it allows me to keep doing what I do, and I have so much more to create for you all to enjoy! - we have such a great community of synth enthusiasts! so please, if you haven't already.... PLEASE PLEASE SUBSCRIBE :D

have a great night tonight, and I'll see you all in 2024!

HAPPY NEW YEAR SYNTH FAM!"

Dreadbox Telepathy Bundle Demo | No Talking

video upload by VCO USA

"Here we play a few excerpts from sounds we've made with the Dreadbox Telepathy Bundle.

The Dreadbox Telepathy bundle is a Eurorack format synth with very interesting MIDI controlled capabilities. You can control each module individually, link them together to create up to a 6 voice polyphonic synth, or mix and match to create wild multi-timbral patches.

The bundle consists of 6 x Dreadbox Telepathy Full Voice Synth modules and 1 Dreadbox Psychosis 6-Channel Stereo mixer with 4 FX. They are now available from your favorite synth shops.

All sounds in the video are made only with the Telepathy Bundle. No other external FX or synths were used. Enjoy!

【Machine & Performance】Behind the Mask's symbolic Synth Sound with novation mininova

video upload by nicolai maruhama

"This is the demo of mininova.

This time is about the synths sound of Behind the Mask.
I like the LIVE at THEATRE LE PALACE in 1979 of YMO.
It was sensational live for me was at 14 YO.
Akiko Yano's intro sound of OB SEM 8Voice, R. Sakamoto's polymoog and VP-330 sound, still everything have been shining.
At that time, SYNTHESIZER was so expensive but nowadays, even cheap one can sounds gorgeous!! But on the other hands, it's difficult to recreate the Analogue sound. So, I tried recreate the vintage sound with mininova because of this machine has a lot of special function on Oscillators and Filters.

Please Enjoy thanks!

Erica Synths Bullfrog Synthesizer Review

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"Bullfrog is a collaboration between Erica Synths and Richie Hawtins and is designed as an educational platform for teaching synthesis, sound and modular music making. It's huge, it's a monosynth but with a special slot of splendidness. It's not just for kids though; there's plenty for the beginner and the more experienced to enjoy."

Korg Electribe AmkII and Akai MPC Live 2 fun, sequencers and production machines in harmony

video upload by Expanding Sound

"I look at this Electribe I have often and think to myself I should just sell it. It is a redundancy in todays world of synthesizers. Yet every time I decide to break it out for a little bit of fun, I always wind up loving it again. Sure it isn't the deepest unit, but the two analog modeled synths sound great and the control features they put on the front end lead to a lot of fun. The Korg drifts a lot, basically anytime I've set its clock to external it winds up drifting at some point. Luckily the MPC has the midi output sequences. You set one synth per midi channel, write a sequence on the MPC and you've just breathed new life into your old Electribe. I had a lot of fun fooling with these two together, I hope you enjoy it!"

Madonna: "Into the Groove" Recreated using the same gear!!

video upload by Neon Nights: 1980s Music Production

"Hey guys!
This video and recreation of Madonna 1985 hit 'Into the Groove' has been a labor of love.

After obtaining the original Multitrack master (I cannot share). I was able to dive in and recreate each sound, and arrangement using the same synths as the original song. With the exception of a MKS 80, ( BASS) TR-727 (I used samples), and an Emulator II (for the PIANO solo).

It took over a week to map out, arrange, record, and mix. It was a ton of fun learning how the song was made. It was recorded with a UAD Apollo 16 , and Luna.

I hope you enjoy ! Comment please!

Eplex7 DSP releases Psychedelic space soup - magic plugin effect VST

Create magic experimental psychedelic chill beat with Eplex7 Psychedelic space soup VST effect

video upload by Eplex7 DSP

Press release follows:

Have you ever tasted psychedelic space soup?

Its taste is different, a taste you have never tried before. After the first teaspoon of this soup the world is different, everything is vivid, colorful, glowing, rainbow and liquid. You can hear the colors and see sounds. You enjoy every simple thing and everything is new and magical. Things that were grey and boring before are extremely interesting and colorful. Sounds are flying around you, you can touch them, you hear many spirals, aliens, fairies, echoes, sounds are reflected from walls, decomposed into molecules and reassembled. Some time after eating space soup you are back from magicland to mother earth. Everything is same like before again, but at the same time different forever. You never look at the world the same way, now you have new optics, endless joy and every new thing is magical and interesting.

There are many effects in the plug-in market. But we wanted to create something totally new with original sound which sounds like psychedelic space soup. Something that is progressive but very creative, playful, funny and easy to play at the same time. Something that brings lot of joy, psychedelic atmosphere and magic results to your production.

It is almost impossible to explain sound, algorithms and functions of Psychedelic space soup plugin. It creates special spirals, modulations, magic 3D space, psychedelic reflections, new dimensions, resonances, fractals...

Psychedelic space soup is progressive, psy-experimental effect which works perfecty with any EFX sounds from film music to psytrance, hitech, fullon darkpsy, proggy or psycore, with beats from experimental to psychillout, ambient or psydub, with any synths, indie / psychedelic rock and dub guitars, voices, vocals, percussions from minimal, progressive, techno experimental, film music to modular synth beats.

You can use this effect to transform basic FX synths and samples to something totally different, change simple synth to hybrid modular / analog sounding superspiral, change basic boring beat to psychedelic trip around universe. You can use it also with psytrance, minimal, techno or progressive percussions, claps, snares, blips, hihats. You can use it with pads, acid arps, fullon psy leads, risers.

Compatibility: Windows 32 bit / 64 bit VST host Product page / download demo version:

"Major Upgrade Package for the Flagship FANTOM Synthesizers Adds ACB Modeling, New V-Piano and ZEN-Core Model Expansions, and More

Los Angeles, CA, Nov. 7, 2023 — Roland announces the FANTOM EX Upgrade, a powerful new system expansion for the company’s FANTOM 6, 7, and 8 synthesizer models. Bounding with exciting new features and workflow enhancements, the user-installable FANTOM EX Upgrade supercharges Roland’s premier synthesizer series with even more creative firepower. The most significant update in FANTOM’s history expands and enriches the core platform with powerful Analog Circuit Behavior technology, two new grand pianos, JD-800 and n/zyme Model Expansions, studio-grade reverb effects, and more. Available for purchase on Roland Cloud, this value-packed upgrade is a must-have for current and future FANTOM owners.

Introduced in 2019, FANTOM was designed as an evolving creative hub that continually grows through sound expansion, software integration, and user-requested features. The FANTOM EX Upgrade integrates a host of sound engine and system enhancements, launching the FANTOM platform far beyond the impressive capabilities of previous versions. In development for many months, this important upgrade embodies Roland’s ongoing dedication to its flagship synth and the worldwide FANTOM community.

JUPITER-8 and SH-101 ACB Expansions
Roland’s acclaimed Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) is the core technology behind AIRA products such as the TR-8S and SYSTEM-8, as well as the extensive Legendary series of software instruments on Roland Cloud. ACB brings an authentic analog sound experience to life in the digital realm, faithfully recreating analog circuitry and all their interactive behaviors at a deep component level.

Realized through new engineering breakthroughs, the processor-intensive ACB architecture is now available to FANTOM owners with the JUPITER-8 ACB and SH-101 ACB Expansions in the FANTOM EX Upgrade. These circuit-level recreations of influential Roland synths offer all the latest ACB advancements, including Circuit Mod and Condition functions for dialing in varying degrees of vintage character.

Two Concert-Class Acoustic Pianos
The FANTOM EX Upgrade features two deeply expressive grands primed to elevate stage and studio endeavors with Roland’s renowned piano performance. Additionally, FANTOM’s V-Piano interface has been refreshed with an attractive new graphical design.

Originally developed for the flagship RD-2000 stage piano, the German Concert V-Piano Expansion 01 is a versatile and inspiring instrument with a rich, powerful, and detailed voice. The SuperNATURAL Acoustic Piano 3 Expansion offers 15 distinctive sounds, from bright, dynamic tones for stage playing to dark, moody variations for ambient explorations.

JD-800 and n/zyme Model Expansions
The FANTOM EX Upgrade also includes two of Roland’s most recent Model Expansion titles, driven by the ZEN-Core engine for advanced sonic range and performance versatility.
Combining the original JD-800 waveforms with advanced modeling techniques, the JD-800 Model Expansion puts the gleaming tone and monster sound-shaping potential of this vintage digital icon inside FANTOM.

The n/zyme Model Expansion is a thoroughly modern instrument with an all-new synth engine developed for the FANTOM environment. Combining wavetable oscillator layers, phase and shape modulation, resonant filters, and two powerful Step LFOs, n/zyme is a highly interactive music tool that sparks endless creative explorations.

Effect and Workflow Enhancements
The FANTOM EX Upgrade further enhances the synthesizer’s smooth workflow and deep feature set. New Shimmer Reverb and Modulation Reverb algorithms instantly infuse any sound with spaciousness and intense harmonic color. FANTOM’s DAW control has been expanded with profiles for Steinberg Cubase and PreSonus Studio One. Additionally, the Master FX processor includes new preset templates for faster workflow and refreshed graphical interfaces for the Mastering Comp and Mastering EQ sections.

Availability & Pricing
The Roland FANTOM series, including the FANTOM 6, FANTOM 7, and FANTOM 8, are available in the U.S. for: $3,499, $3,899, and $4,199, respectively. The Roland FANTOM EX Upgrade is now available for $199."

Last Time Playing This Patch Before Unplugging Everything

video upload by Izntrik

"Just a streamed synthesizer techno, electronic, and ambient jam session. Less polished than live shows, more for practice and experimentation. It's almost time to ruin this patch and move a bunch of modules around to expand my live setup into two eurorack cases instead of one. More drums, more control, more fun! Gets a little experimental at the end. Enjoy the synths!

Patch Notes:
Intellijel Metropolix is the sequencing Plaits and Doepfer A-111-6. Zadar is sidechaining, modulating morph on Plaits, and pulse width modulation on the Doepfer. Basimilus Iteritas Alter switches between quantized voltages from the Polar 8 and also sample and hold pitches from Metropolix with triggers from the euclidean sequencer running on Ornament and Crime Hemispheres, runs into the WMD C4RBN filter for wavefolding and saturation. Tesseract Modular Polar8 is controlling delays, drum density, resonance, saturation, A-111-6 pitch, euclidean offset, and BIA pitch. Prok and Pico Drums are being triggered by the 6equencer and Dnipro Dot. Endorphin Ghosts, ALM MFX, and Qu-Bit Prism for effects.

UDO Super 6 - Virtuality Vol.1

video upload by Scott McAuley Sounds

"Patches will be available at https://www.orano.co.uk/shop or http://www.synthsounds.co.uk

So, Here it is, my first pack of 64 Sounds for the amazing UDO Super 6, the synth is an absolute pleasure to program, play and hear! it sounds like no other synth I own or have heard.

No other effects were used in this demo apart from the two generative patches at the end I added some reverb to let you hear it in context.

Hybrid Synths can achieve so much, with the state of the art FPGA digital hardware oscillators, the S6 sounds amazing.

George Hearn and his team have done a remarkable job with this synth, and I feel there will be many many more banks coming from me for this one.

A mixture of classics, modern, dirty, beautiful and creamy sounds in this bank, I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed making them.

I used UDO Facotry waveforms for this entire bank.

Next bank will contain some (if not all) SM custom Waveforms.

as always, thanks for checking them out.

SM."

all sounds with exception of drums and vocals are from the UDO Super-6 no other synths used in this demo track.
