FM60P & ODT3 by NYZ

Two new releases from NYZ - FM60P composed w/ Kodamo's essenceFM, and ODT3 below, composed with GForce Software's Oddity3.

https://noyzelab.bandcamp.com/album/fm60p

"Appropriately, FM60P is the sixth NYZ release to focus directly on FM synthesis, and the first six-operator variant of the FMX0P releases (which was incidentally also the first conceptual iteration of the sub-series of FM synth works, despite being released this far down the line). Given this provenance, those familiar with FM synthesis might assume Burraston would begin a six-operator exploration with the ubiquitous Yamaha DX7 - perhaps the most iconic FM synthesizer of all time - but instead, he's taken a different tack entirely, and opted to use a modern machine - the Kodamo EssenceFM, a megalith of FM processing power with a mind-numbing 300 operators available within its outwardly unassuming racked interface - albeit acting in an ascetic sense by limiting himself deliberately to only six operators. Longtime Psoma listeners will also note a referential connection with PMFM, a prior release that also utilized the EssenceFM in its construction.

On a technical level, FM60P manifests itself through the arcane pathways of Burraston's cellular automata research, which informs both the sequencing information sent into the synthesizer, and the microtuning of the voices also. Beyond this initial working ethos, the designs and numerical relationships of the operators' ratios have been arranged with the use of three different sets of Fibonacci number sequences, as well as tuning dispositions referencing Alain Daniélou's Harmonic Division of the Octave. Fibonacci freaks will be pleased to know that this arrangement of operators will form intricate setups of Golden Ratio based FM timbres.

For many listening and reading, these points of reference may have no meaning whatsoever, and we here at Psoma would like to offer the consolation that there is no right or wrong way to listen to or interact with any sound matter found in our catalog, or anywhere else for that matter. It could even be said that part of our initiative in publishing works such as these is defined by a desire to simply introduce more challenging and concept-driven music into the world, in order to bring new and stimulating experiences to people who are both familiar and unfamiliar with the deeper details of sound itself.

So what does that leave us with then? The sound of FM60P could be described as a chiming din of glassy tones playing in serpentine unison with sub-bass hum - but this is only a small prologue of two minutes, quickly pulling back the curtain to reveal a massive hour-long drone wall, presented in Burraston's characteristic style of rippling heavily modulated swaths of energy, underpinned by a more midrange foundation of a pulsing alien plinth. Filter sweeps reveal many more dimensions to the layers that are not initially obvious, bringing incessant bass tones and arpeggiator-like sections into focus before the wavering sea reclaims them.

Burraston's music is unlike anything else in the space it is able to inhabit, simultaneously sounding artificial and unnatural to an almost impossible degree, while also functionally conveying itself in elemental and naturalistic ways. Everything is an object, an outline, a weather system or a color, each possessing a specific set of attributes that communicate synaesthetically with the listener, as temperatures and spatial indicators, rather than confining themselves to much more arbitrary traditional sensations.

NOTE: After some confusion from listeners, we'd like to make clear the fact that all NYZ/Noyzelab catalog releases at Psoma are available ONLY as abridged digital versions for name-your-price/free download, and in their full unabridged editions as physical CD-Rs. There is not an unabridged digital version of anything from NYZ at Psoma, and the physical editions do not ship with unabridged digital versions either (that is, if you do not count the digital music present on the compact discs). For listeners only interested in unabridged digital versions, we encourage you to visit noyzelab.bandcamp.com to purchase those directly from NYZ, or even better, subscribe to his Bandcamp output and just get everything."

https://noyzelab.bandcamp.com/album/odt3

"Continuing from SEM with his exploration of GForce software instruments, Burraston builds a wall with the Oddity3, an expansive modern iteration of the ARP Odyssey that includes several new additions and functions. ODT3 consists of two such instances of the Oddity3 to accomplish the wide stereo image, both focusing on the 4035 ladder filter from the short-lived Odyssey mark II (only one of three filter types present within the softsynth). Landing somewhere on the map between the Cell Meditations and the subharmonic hums of TESCO SYNFETIX, ODT3 pulses in shallow waves that betray the depth beneath their softened surfaces. Close listening yields wondrous results, especially in headphones, as the swirling mass of the frequency spectrum slowly rises like a shipwreck called back to shore. Almost imperceptibly, the true substance of this piece is revealed in microscopic increments, until it overtakes the senses and surrounds everything, filling the air with vibrating particulate and soporific electricity, glimmering like a portal to an adjacent dimension."

2022 GForce Year Highlights

See the GForce label for posts over the past year here on MATRIXSYNTH.

GForce is currently having an up to 70% off SYNTHMAS SALE.

"As we approach the end of the year we wanted to wish all our friends, colleagues, and everyone who supported us, a VERY HAPPY Xmas and all the VERY BEST for 2023.

2022 has been incredibly exciting year for us at GForce, and as something different (and to spare the world from another Xmas video of Dave's singing) here's a race through some of our 2022 highlights, via a track created using the recently released Oddity 3 and the GForce/Oberheim SEM.

Peace."

"Always a pleasure to talk synths with Dave Spiers of GForce Software, and today we’re talking about the Oddity V3 that was just released. A loving software recreation of the Arp Odyssey, V3 brings - resizable UI, new FX, assignable macros, patch browser as well as a bunch of new patches.

We asked Dave why the Odyssey? Talked legacy, some of the nuances of Oddity V3 to the soundtrack of a selection of tasty patches.

Oddity V3 is available now, at £49 +VAT (from £99 till end of November) in all the usual formats (AU, VST, AAX, Standalone) Is M1 native too.

Marius Leicht - Oddity 3 Improvisations

video upload by GForce Software

"in October 2022 we invited the supremely talented Marius Leicht to our studio to record a couple of iconic vintage synthesisers for his forthcoming project.

These sessions took place over several days (and nights) and when finished, we asked him to improvise with some Oddity 3 patches prior to its release. This was the first time Marius had seen or played Oddity 3 and any slider adjustments made on the keyboard controlled the new Macros feature.

When the original GForce Oddity was released all the way back in 2002, it was heavily praised by fans and critics alike for its incredibly accurate representation of the revered ARP® Odyssey, with some notable users even calling it their desert island synth. Now, twenty-one years later, we’ve updated this classic to make it the most authentic, powerful and modern odyssey available.

Oddity3 takes the character and sound of Oddity and adds a wave of enhancements, bringing the spirit of the original to a new generation of music makers. With a powerful new Preset Browser and 1250+ presets including 250+ new ones, new Distortion and Reverb effects, a Vintage control for dialing in authentic imperfections, and four programmable Macros, plus new and improved performance controls, this classic desert island synth just got even better.

Custom patches for GS-e7 by synth_nyc (FREE download)

video upload by GS Music

"We proudly present these 64 custom patches for the GS-e7 Analog Polyphonic Synthesizer. The patches were made by synth_nyc and are now available to download from our website for free. In the future, they will be incorporated as factory presets."

"A few words from synth_nyc:
After designing some custom patches for Black Corporation Japan and GForce Software Ltd, I chose to design patches for the e7 because:

1. It sounds great to my ears and offer a complementary tone to all my hardware and software synth 2. It has memory
3. It has full MIDI implementation of all parameters, so I can remote edit it.

In addition; the e7 has some unique features, as far as I can tell, which really make it shine:
* Stereo output / voice spread with pan modulation
* 3 LFOs that can modulate pitch, PW, VCF and VCA
* Very cleverly / musically implemented features such as A/R velocity modulation, envelop KB tracking modulation, LFO rate KB tracking modulation, etc...

Not to say that the discrete VCO, VCF and VCA are a winning combo for a true analog tone.

Please contact GS Music if you need support.

Enjoy!

Mini-bio
synth_nyc first synth was a DX7 (mk1) in the mid-80s. synth_nyc always enjoyed programming sounds on the machine and it never appeared complex or non-intuitive to him. synth_nyc first analog synth was a MKS-50 (with PG-300) where he discovered that you did not need to spend 4 hours to design a great patch! After that, synth_nyc is grateful to have own classic and unique machines from the late 70s to early 90s like a CS-80, a Waldorf Wave, a PPG Wave 2.3, a MemoryMoog LAMM, Prophet 5 Rev2, Rev 3.3 and Prophet VS, OSCar, OB-X, Synthex, Sunsyn, Jupiter-8, Chroma, Hartmann Neuron and Voyetra Eight (the only vintage synth_nyc still owns) and many more! synth_nyc has learnt and enjoyed programming them all. Today synth_nyc is focussing his time on programming analogue renaissance hardware synths -with memories-; as well as new hybrids and new digitals, but also software synths as emulations, virtual modeling have come a long way; especially in the past year or 2 (so have computers) and are letting us enjoy amazing machines for a reasonable price, so close (or better) to the originals and hassle free."

"Having originally worked for Oberheim in the early 80’s and being Instrumental in the design and development of some classic Oberheim Synths, Marcus Ryle is no stranger to the world of Synthesizers and Electronic Music Equipment. He later went on to co-found “Fast-Forward Designs” who were responsible for some really ground-breaking technology with Alexis, such as ADAT Multi-Track Recorder, Quadra Synth and Effects. Marcus also co-founded Line 6, which developed a whole range of DSP Products for Guitarists, especially the POD range, which were extremely successful and graced many Stages and Studies alike.

Of course, Marcus is very accomplished Synth Player, Sound Designer and Session Musician with a Studio complete with some of the very best Classic Oberheim Synthesizers. Now, we have the honor of chatting to him about the latest Oberheim Product, taking the very best of the OB range into the fantastic OB-X8. We’ll be finding out about his history with Oberheim and others, his Music and of course the OB-X8 Project and beyond…"

04:34 05 Two sawtooth waves, low notes, 75% resonance
05:20 06 Same as 05 but with some VCO detuning to get a fatter sound
06:37 07 Square wave, PWM and LP/HP cutoff modulation by LFO
07:42 08 Two square waves, VCO2-PWM and LP/HP cutoff modulation by LFO
08:26 09 Square wave, HP cutoff modulation by LFO
09:21 10 Two square waves, PWM and HP modulation by LFO, fastest LFO rate

11:56 13 Saw wave, 100% resonance, BP cutoff modulated by LFO, slowest LFO rate
13:19 14 Square wave, BP filter, 100% resonance on GForce, less than 100% resonance on Oberheim
14:33 15 Same as 14, but Oberheim SEM filter gets into selfoscillation with 100% resonance
15:32 16 No VCO output, but still sound from the filter oscillation on the Oberheim SEM
15:55 17 Warm brassy single saw with no resonance
16:38 18 Same as 17 but with 100% resonance
17:16 19 Square wave with clean bright sound
17:58 20 Sync sound
18:50 21 A dark sound with LP filter and a little HP added for extra harmonics
19:59 22 Audio range filter modulation using VCO2 (Oberheim) or VCO3 (GForce), filter cutoff knob turned to the left.
20:53 23 Same as 23 but filter cutoff is now halfway open
21:51 24 Dark sound with VCO1 as fundamental and some VCO2 for added high frequencies
22:51 25 Clean sequence sound with PWM of VCO1 and some extra VCO2 in the high frequencies
23:34 26 Clean sequence with high keys
24:19 27 Last sequence with old school sound

"Violins & Vox

Courtesy of Tron-meister, Nigel Hopkins, here's a no-talking, audio demo run-through of the Streetly Violins & Vox tapebanks, with a few patches thrown in for good measure.

As with all other Streetly Tape Volumes, Violin & Vox provides yet more sonic superfood for your M-Tron Pro, via a set of 25 tapebanks, this time focussing on the strong and varied vocal performances of Caitlin Downie and the virtuoso violin voicings of Claire Lindley.

As with all Streetly Tapes Volumes, this pack has been lovingly given the Streetly Skellotron treatment for that authentic sound of EMI tape wearing down playback heads.

Although these are recent recordings, thanks to the character introduced by the Skellotron processing, they have all the tron character you know and love, and sit perfectly alongside classic mellotron strings and choir recordings.

The Strangest Mellotron Library Ever?

video upload by HAINBACH

"I love the Mellotron. Playing this 1960s tape sampler for the first time 15 years ago was mesmerizing - the feel of all those motors spinning under your fingers is magical. Now I collaborated with Gforce Software to create my own Mellotron library, and it is rather odd. I sampled all my favorite and rare synths, some broken, some just strange on their own, and acoustic and electro-acoustic instruments, ran them through mountains of even stranger equipment and out came the Hainbach Expansion Pack. https://www.gforcesoftware.com/produc...

From Japanese poetry trainers to soviet synths, broken Italian organs to french pianos, American test equipment and German Kalimba guitars, there is a lot to keep you playing on and on. It is like being in the studio with me, minus the coffee and ceaseless anecdotes."
