Oberheim TEO-5 vs OB-6 vs OB-X8 // which synth is BEST?

video upload by Miles Away

"Shootout / comparison of the three high end analog synthesizers from Oberheim / Sequential. Which should you get?

All 3 synths were recorded direct into UAD Apollo 16 interface with no EQ or pre-amp coloring. While I did my best to level match all 3 of the synths, these are analog instruments with a high variance in dymanic range, so at some points, one synth will sound louder than others. For example, the OB-6 sometimes sounds louder than the others, because of its inherently hotter levels driving into its internal mixer, despite reading similar levels on the meter. It's a fine balance to get the levels close, without overcompressing the master audio file, so I went for as transparent of a recording as possible, so keep that in mind if you have issues with level matching.

FIGHT & FLIGHT / full system generative 'horror' patch / singing bowl research / farewell Steven

video upload by BRiES

"I started this patch by trying to mimic the tone and frequency beating of a Tibetan singing bowl. Triangle waves seem to be the best match for generating the 'odd' overtones. I used two of them tuned almost to the same frequency to produce a slow beating. One is panned left and one is panned right. I had to run this pair through a LPF to get rid of a lot of the top end fizz.

The other sounds are a bunch of resonating filters and VCOs through Beads tuned up a major 7th with a lot of wet grains fed back to the input. There's some automation going on in terms of gating these, controlled by an output of COMPARE 2 (analyzing ORBIT 3) through a counter (ERFURT).

This week (29th of october) Steven (one of the residents of a farm sanctuary) passed away after a long and hard fight. It's weird and confusing how these events thousands of miles away can still hit you. RIP Steven."

Print Magazine Modul8 Issue #2 Now Available

You might remember Modul8 from this previous post.

via Issue #2 is now available.

"Modul8 issue two is out now - bigger, better and more in depth.

After being humbly blown away by the support for the premiere issue of Modul8, issue two steps up with more pages, more interviews and more synth devotion.

Go behind the modules with Corry Banks from Eurorack manufacturer Modbap Modular, dive deep into sound therapy with AHRKH, explore modern ballet music with composer Alison Cole and get schooled by Serge scholar Ben Carey.

There's also feature interviews with L.A's best kept secret Voltage Ctrlr,

heartbreak and redemption with Def Jam's Sadiva, Buchla buzz from Beijing's TamiX and the breakthroughs and breakdowns of Aussie breakbeat pioneers Nubreed.

And if all that still wasn't enough we check in with Melbourne theremin maestro Miles Brown, learn about SDEM's latest album, throw it back with the American Gigolo soundtrack and try to figure out why 'INIT' patches are so comforting.

All that, plus everyone's favourite philosopher Todd Barton is back, and this time he's getting saucy with his synths.

And despite our tragic commitment to physical media, we’ve also created a special Spotify playlist featuring music from the artists showcased in issue two.

We’re super proud of this issue, but more importantly we're super stoked to present such a dynamic and diverse range of creators following their own paths

Deaton's Sequential Modulator

video upload by Miles Comstock

via Miles Comstock

"Deaton’s Sequential Modulator is a versatile modular audio effects unit and synthesizer I created custom for Deaton Chris Anthony. It allows you to freely route audio through its different effects and manipulate parameters of these effects through an 8 step control voltage sequencer and two low frequency oscillators. It was created with the intention of leading you away from the sounds you have programmed yourself into normally making. Though, you are not confined to the experimental. Deaton’s Sequential Modulator can work as a more than capable modular effects board. It can also be a modular synth voice, a drone synth, eurorack cv sequencer, a mixer, heavy distortion unit, twinkly delay, infinitely repeating echo, tremolo, bitcrusher, chorus/vibrato, resonant filter and a lot more. Any sounds your heart desires are right here."
