Playlist:

1. Motas-6 phase modulation with arpeggiator

This demo shows the arpeggiator playing with use of the VCO analogue phase modulation features.

2. Motas-6 micro-tuning demo with arpeggiator

This demo shows some of the 32 built-in micro-tunings on the Motas-6 synthesizer with the internal arpeggiator. Motas-6 also allows a further 32 user-defined tunings to be imported using standard MIDI tuning dumps (e.g. using Scala software).

3. Motas-6 synthesizer paraphonic playing demo

This video shows how chords of up to 3-notes can be played on the Motas-6 synthesizer. Motas-6 has 3 analogue VCOs each of which can be set to track independently allowing paraphonic playing.

4. Motas-6 synthesizer phase modulation demo

This video shows some of the phase modulation capabilities of the Motas-6 synthesizer.
Motas-6 allows analogue (or analog) phase modulation of oscillators 2 and 3 to create PM/FM type sounds. Oscillator 3 can be phase modulated by oscillator 2 which can be modulated by oscillator 1 so allowing more complex modulation sounds.

5. Motas-6 synthesizer vector morphing demo

This video shows the vector morphing feature of Motas-6 where 4 patches can be blended in real-time using external controllers such as MIDI control messages or CV inputs. A little external reverb has been applied to the audio output from Motas-6.

Motas-6 synthesizer 50 new patches

Published on Dec 12, 2019 MotasSynth

"Factory bank #4 - 50 new patches for the Motas-6 synthesizer!

This video is a short demo of all the 50 patches in the new factory bank #4. As you can see I've used an Arturia Keystep to play the sounds via MIDI.

The audio is recorded directly from Motas-6 with no external effects.

You can download this new bank of patches for your Motas-6 from the usual place: motas-synth.uk/downloads.html. Of course you can load this bank into any of the 10 banks on your Motas-6, it doesn't have to be into bank #4!

A document explaining the patches in this new bank can be downloaded: motas-synth.uk/documents/Motas-6_PatchBank4_Guide_v1_00.pdf.

More samples from this bank can be also be heard: motas-synth.uk/patchBank4.html"

Motas-6 synth plays OMD Joan of Arc (demo 07)

Published on Jul 6, 2018 MotasSynth

"Motas-6 synth demo 07 - playing extract from OMD's 'Maid of Orleans' (Joan of Arc) with some external reverb applied.

Several independent LFO modulations have been used on the master pitch, individual oscillator pitch, PWM (oscillators 1 and 3) and filter frequencies to try to re-create the wow-and-flutter sound of the legendary Mellotron used on the original.

The haunting tune is programmed into the Motas-6 internal pattern sequencer which plays in an endless loop whilst the Motas-6 parameters are adjusted.
The Motas-6 paraphonic capabilities are used with oscillator 1 tracking the highest note played, oscillator 2 the middle and oscillator 3 the lowest.
As the tune plays the 3 filter settings and mix levels (including the internal feedback control to the mixer) are adjusted, as well as phase modulation on oscillators 2 and 3. The mixer gain is adjusted - listen for the rich distortion caused from over-driving the filters (starting at 3:13) with the mixer gain set to 'boost'. Also look out for the spectrum analyser display at the end that tracks the notes showing the harmonics."

New Motas-6 Demo Videos

Published on Jun 21, 2018 MotasSynth

"Demo#6 of Motas-6.
The new MotasEdit software plugin is running within Ableton and a repeated simple bar of notes is playing (Motas-6 is connected via USB MIDI).
Parameter changes on the Motas-6 hardware are sent to the plugin/DAW (and likewise changes in the DAW/plugin are sent to Motas-6).

I play with various Motas-6 parameters including the analogue phase modulation, analogue noise and internal feedback (which comes from the audio output before the final volume control) to the pre-filter mixer."

Motas 6 demo 05

Published on Apr 9, 2018 MotasSynth

"This demo shows new MotasEdit control software (to be released soon as a free download for Motas-6 users). The software allows users of the Motas-6 analogue synth to edit sounds in real-time with live screenshots from the Motas-6 hardware.

Please watch your speakers and ears, it is a bit aggressive in parts! The sound you hear was generated internally by Motas-6 hardware with a little external reverb.We use lots of the independent LFOs for a complex sound. No controller keyboard was used."
