Sony RX100 VII Creative Zoom Examples

video upload by Mamotreco

"Trippy creative zoom articulations with the Sony RX100 VII. Combining a versatile zoom lens with SteadyShot stabilisation gets you some striking movement, closing in and peeling off your subject.
#sonyrx100vii #prophet12 #zoomtest
The music was done on a Prophet 12 synthesizer which sounds rather unique due to its combination of digital oscillators and analog filters.

Korg Trident Mk1 - 80s Synthe Action

video upload by Mamotreco

"Hear a quick snippet of the mighty Korg Trident Mk1 analog synth from 1980. This 8-voice analog polysynth is actually divided into three sections for different types of sound: Synthesizer, Brass, Strings.
#korg #korgtrident #analogsynth
This is the Mk1 version of the Korg Trident which means it has 16 presets and it lacks an envelope for the filter. However, what it lacks in memory and envelopes it makes up in quality effects. The flanger on this synth is out of this world. Not only that but you can use it once on any of the three sound design sections.

Anyways enjoy this quick taste of the Korg Trident!

Arturia Pigments and MiniFreak V Synths Layered Together for Maximum Effect!

video upload by Mamotreco

"Layered up some VST synth instances of Arturia Pigments 4 and Minifreak V in Ableton Live for maximum effect. These two takes on the modern digital synth compliment each other when played on a now vintage Technics SX-PX336 digital piano with a hammer action keyboard.
#arturia #minifreak #pigments4
It has to be said that these virtual synths are expressive even when just played on a velocity sensitive only keybed. Enjoy a relaxing synthesizer interlude as we kick off the week.

Arturia Mini V3 v NI Monark Synth Sound Comparison

video upload by Mamotreco

"Comparing how two VSTs inspired by the legendary Minimoog: Arturia Mini V3 and NI Monark. The goal of this video is to compare the sound of these two synths in their own right as opposed to seeing how faithful they are to the Moog they are trying to emulate.
#arturia #nativeinstruments #synths
First I compared the oscillators of the Mini V3 vs the Monark VST, then the filters, before programming the same patches on both synth plugins to see how they sounded.

Contents:
00:00 Intro
00:46 Oscillators Mini V vs Monark
01:47 Cut Off Mini V vs Monark
02:39 Cut Off w/ Resonance Mini V vs Monark

Arturia MiniFreak - Monster Synth Demo (No Talking)

video upload by Mamotreco

"A long demo playing multiple patches from the new Arturia MiniFreak synthesizer.
The accompanying drum sequences are from the Roland T-8 AIRA Compact Beat Machine.

Initial impressions are good, though I need to dive deeper into all the oscillator shape options. The minikeys are ok once you get used to them, they are a bit cramped though. I have long fingers and I kept on accidently hitting the sequencer or arp button with my finger whilst playing chords with my left hand, so the Minifreak would suddenly jump into sequencer mode!

Also featuring the BBC Acorn Archimedes A3000 with RISC OS 2

Arturia Solina V String Machine Synth | Fave Sounds

video upload by Mamotreco

"Playing through some Arturia Solina V2 synth sounds that have stood to me. I've been really surprised by the flexibility of this VST synth. While string machine sounds are its bread and butter, don't let that dissuade you from considering it for your sonic arsenal.
#solinav #arturia #vsts
I tried to play through a wide range of sounds on this Arturia plugin. While you have all your expected categories from strings and pads to leads and bass. The Solina V2 has a unique sound quality that adds grit and abrasiveness in certain places while still being capable of smooth, creamy and dreamy synth sounds.

SH101 From Mars | Synth Sample Pack (tested on Ableton Live 11)

video upload by Mamotreco

"Taking a look at the 101 From Mars sample pack based on the Roland SH-101 vintage analog synth. This sample pack is available from Samples From Mars (as the name suggests). In the demo, you will hear some of my fave synth sounds from the sample pack being tweaked on the fly.

#samplesfrommars #samplepack #synth

Here I am demoing the sample pack in Ableton Live 11 but I believe you also get the files for a bunch of different software sampler formats (FL Studio, Kontakt, Logic, as well as just the WAV files). Also I bought this sample pack with my own money. Thought this video might be useful for those considering it, especially the Ableton Live implementation that uses native effects.

Arturia Synclavier V | Digital Pioneer | Fave Synth Sounds

video upload by Mamotreco

"Arturia dubs the Synclavier V (its softsynth emulation of the New England Digital Synclavier) a digital dream synthesizer. Here I play some sounds that stood out to me from the patch banks of this VST synth that is part of the current Arturia V Collection.

360 From Mars | Samples From Mars | Fave synth sounds

video upload by Mamotreco

"Playing my favorite sounds from the 360 From Mars sample pack from Samples From Mars who sampled the 360 Systems Keyboard. Afaik one of the first (or the first) ROMPLER type synth. Namely, it plays back PCM samples off EPROM chips. I tested the Ableton Live version of this sample pack on Live 11. #samplepack #synthesizer #80ssynth
Unlike the CMI Fairlight, it does not have sampling capability. Considering it came out in the early 80s it has surprisingly high quality sounds for the time–being tamed by tasty CEM filter chips.

Note: I am not affiliated with Samples From Mars. I bought this with my own money for my own music composition needs.

The Future Was Then | Synth Library Music | Retro Computing

video upload by Mamotreco

"Visited a museum of technology with a wonderful computing exhibit which included computers of all shapes and sizes (from 70s mainframe to 80s 8-bit home computers and some 90s systems too).

#vintagecomputer #80ssynth #homecomputers

The background music track "Cyclades" is from my Cybersyn - Intrigues Telematiques album (available here with exclusive artwork: https://synthandsundry.bandcamp.com/a...) or as part of the Mamotreco Channel Compilation linked below.

Cyclades is a reference to a pre-TCP/IP network protocol prototyped in France in the early 70s. While the standard was never adopted for France's homegrown telematic revolution, it did incorporate packet switching and was designed to work as a network of networks. As with much advanced technology, it fell by the wayside when the French Postal Service (La Poste/P.T.T.) opted for the more established but more primitive Transpac concept based on the X.25 network standard.

Sequential Prophet 12 Majestic Tones (Flashing Light Warning ⚠️)

video upload by Mamotreco

"Some digital/analog synth hybrid goodness from the magnificent Sequential Prophet 12. All sounds come from this beast of a synthesizer which sports flexible digital oscillators and analog filters within a focused tabletop form factor.

#prophet12 #synth #sounddemo

Be aware, the mood light top left was on the fritz and the frame rate of the video makes it flash a bit. However, this synth designed by Dave Smith still sounds top notch.

Living on the Edgelands | Electropop

Disco Edit enhanced with Arturia Synclavier & Matrix 12 V synths

video upload by Mamotreco

"Took an old disco track and spruced it up with some added melodic synth, brass, and vocoder parts as well as rejigging its structure in Ableton Live. I hope you enjoy this disco edit.

Current channel music compilation (20 tracks for the price of a coffee): https://mamotreco.bandcamp.com
Previous music available here: https://synthandsundry.bandcamp.com

To make it, I used the following:
- Ableton Push 2 controller
- Ableton Live 10
- Ableton Wavetable (for the synth bassline)
- Arturia Matrix 12 V VST to layer with a sampled brass instrument from Ableton for the lead melodic hook.
- Arturia Synclavier V VST for some sequenced chord bits that come in over the drum break early on and then again later during the choruses. Paired it with the Juno Chorus VST also from Arturia.
- Ableton Vocoder to process some added backing vocals from me over the choruses.
- Samples From Mars drum samples for drum reinforcement.
- Various Ableton Live Insert FX: Echo, Glue Compressor (on the master channel only), Compressor and Dynamic Tube on individual to add flavor to the sounds and tame the dynamics (ducking etc)
- 707 sampled drum kit from Ableton to provide a phantom trigger for a sidechain compressor on the main loops.
- Filmed with a Fujifilm X-T4 camera paired with a 23mm f2 lens. Footage edited in Final Cut Pro"
