Synthstrom Deluge - classic downtempo synth with Zeptocade, Chroma Console

video upload by Jay Hosking

See this post for additional details on the Zeptocade.

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

Full disclosure: Ian from Synthstrom got in touch and we were discussing my older Deluge videos. I mentioned I had been missing the Deluge since I sold it, and he kindly offered to ship one to me so I could try the new screen and community firmware. I didn't pay for this Deluge, although I did pay taxes and duty on it (O, Canada). In short, while I bought my original Deluge, this new one was sent by Synthstrom.

But I have to say it's so good to have it back. The updates to the hardware (i.e. the screen) and the firmware have fixed basically every shortcoming I felt in the device, and they did so without compromising what makes the Deluge so great. Thanks to the screen, I can finally learn how to better use the device without resorting to YouTube searches, I can easily adjust patches and use samples effectively, and I can see all the new effects and other changes. And thanks to the community firmware, I can now bust out of the one-endless-loop mentality with grid mode, and have stereo chorus, and so much more. And somehow, all these new additions don't seem to get in the way of what made the Deluge so great in the first place: great synth sounds, feeling like a sketchpad space where it's fun to quickly draft ideas, buttons that feel really great to the touch, and a complete groovebox package with endless sequencing plus MIDI and CV out.

Here, I relied on some of those well-known Boards of Deluge preset packs (go check them out!) to drum up some inspiration. From there, I started to explore looped audio stretching, which I'd never done in the Deluge but was now so easy, as well as resampling. And finally, I switched into the new grid mode for some easy arrangement and clip launching. It's just awesome.

I wanted some more drums, and something with a few more buttons to play, so I added in the Infinitedigits Zeptocore/Zeptocade. It's an audio loop slicer and player with a strong emphasis on performability, which is right up my alley. It's also imperfect, which I discuss more in the Patreon behind-the-scenes video. In short, I adore the performance aspect and think it sounds so good (especially through the Chroma Console for saturation, compression, and delay), but I also struggled to keep it in tempo and not bugging out.

Ultimately, I was surprised where this one ended up. I thought it was going to be a busy fast song, but it fell into a more contemplative and interesting backbeat.

Thanks for listening.

Behringer Proton Modular Patches. No Talking Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"Behringer Proton «Sound Diver» is a collection of 50 patches: 14 leads, 12 basses, 14 plucks, and 10 paraphonic timbres.
Exploring Behringer's new synthesizer was an exciting process for me. It boasts an impressive feature set, including two powerful oscillators capable of generating a wide range of tones, two advanced LFOs, two multi-mode filters, and a wavefolder that adds rich sonic textures. Additionally, it comes with two extra envelopes that can loop, essentially turning them into additional LFOs, and, of course, the patch panel, which opens up endless experimentation possibilities.

📌 Get the soundset: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/prot...

🔧 With this sound bank, I wanted to dive deep into these features and create medium to highly complex patches. The title «Sound Diver» reflects this desire to explore the sonic depths while keeping the sounds usable and adaptable for a wide range of music and performances. My goal was to strike a balance between experimental and musical sounds.

🎨 The presets cover a wide sonic palette, including warm, noisy, detuned, distorted, as well as soft, clean, punchy, dark, bright, deep, and airy tones.
Some timbres are designed to take the lead in a track or jam session, while others work perfectly as complementary elements. While the patches are ready to use as they are, I highly recommend tweaking the knobs during your performance to further develop the sound and enhance your creative experience.

♬ The pluck patches are excellent when paired with arpeggiators or sequencers. While the Behringer Proton doesn't come with a built-in arpeggiator, you can easily integrate your favorite arpeggiators or sequencers from your DAW or MIDI controller.

🎹 I particularly enjoyed working in Paraphonic mode, which allows both oscillators to be split into two separate notes. While it doesn’t create full chords, it does give the illusion of one. The result is a collection of analog pads, textures, and keyboard sounds that are slightly detuned, filtered, or distorted using the wavefolder. This type of sound is hard to replicate on a digital polyphonic synthesizer, adding a unique analog character that feels rich and organic.

🥁 These presets are versatile and suitable for a wide range of genres, including ambient, electronica, IDM, deep techno, house, progressive, trance, lounge, downtempo, pop, chill out, new age, cinematic, breaks, synthwave, retrowave, dub, and more.

📚 The soundset is provided as a PDF document, with each page containing detailed notes that explain how each patch works, which parameters are worth tweaking during playback, and how to evolve the timbre during a performance. By following these notes and making adjustments consciously, you’ll not only get the most out of the patches but also gain a deeper understanding of the synth itself, uncovering its full potential and creative depth.

Introducing The Cassettone Two: The Next Cassette Based Synth

video upload by The Sound of Machines

Press release follows:

Inventor and sound artist Rich Bernett, creator of the original Cassettone synthesizer, is excited to announce the development of the Cassettone Two—an upgraded, feature-packed evolution of the original cassette synth that gained a loyal following of DIY builders and experimental musicians around the globe.

The Cassettone Two is Bernett’s next step in redefining how cassette tapes can be manipulated into unique musical instruments. The original Cassettone, a keyboard that plays cassette loops, sparked excitement in the music-making and DIY communities, receiving widespread attention across YouTube, Instagram, and music blogs.

With its quirky design and DIY appeal, makers all over the world began building their own versions, and workshops and even social media communities sprung up around it. Now, with the introduction of the Cassettone Two, Bernett is ready to push the boundaries further.

A New Chapter for the Cassettone Synth

The Cassettone Two builds upon the foundation of the original with exciting new features designed to give musicians and builders more creative control. The most notable upgrade? Two cassette players, each with independent pitch control, that can be blended for a richer, more versatile sound. This marks a major leap forward from the original single cassette model, allowing users to create complex, layered tones.

“I wanted to address some of the challenges builders faced with the first version. With the Cassettone Two, there’s no need to hack into old cassette players anymore, which should eliminate the parts most prone to failure,” says Bernett.

Tailored for Makers and Musicians Alike

Bernett, who operates online under the name The Sound of Machines, has learned from the overwhelming interest in the first Cassettone and is implementing a rollout strategy that caters to both makers and musicians. For those who enjoy building, there will be DIY kits that include all necessary components (minus the tools). For musicians who prefer to skip the assembly, Rich plans to have a small-batch of pre-built units that will be available for purchase.

Additionally, Bernett plans to offer virtual and in-person workshops and detailed tutorials to guide makers through the building process, ensuring that anyone can successfully bring their own Cassettone Two to life.

More Features on the Horizon

While the base model of the Cassettone Two is set to feature two cassettes with pitch control, Bernett is already planning an XL model with reverse play, stereo outputs, and a brand-new “drone” mode, which he teases will be detailed in future announcements.

“Based on the popularity and community engagement with the first Cassettone, I’m aiming for a much more structured rollout this time. Whether you're a musician who wants a one-of-a-kind sound source or a maker who enjoys the build process, there will be an option for you,” says Bernett.

Limited Availability for Early Runs

Due to the anticipated demand, initial batches of the Cassettone Two will be limited. To ensure you don’t miss out, Rich Bernett encourages fans and makers to join The Sound of Machines Patreon, where he’s offering behind-the-scenes updates, production insights, and priority access to the first run of the Cassettone Two.

Subscribers will not only be the first to know when new units are available, but they'll also gain access to audio samples, exclusive tutorials, and detailed guides on building other experimental instruments from Bernett’s collection.

Join the Journey

Bernett’s journey with the Cassettone has been shaped by the creativity of the community around it, and he’s eager to see where musicians and makers will take the Cassettone Two.

To stay updated on production progress and get priority access to the first batch, join Bernett’s Patreon at Patreon.com/TheSoundofMachines and follow along on Instagram at instagram.com/thesoundofmachines.

About Rich Bernett

His Instagram presence, which continues to grow rapidly, has become a go-to repository for bizarre sound experiments, attracting the attention of both DIY enthusiasts and top-tier professionals in the music industry. With a dedicated community of builders and musicians behind him, Bernett continues to push the boundaries of sound design.

Introducing Sound Blocks — A playground for making music

video upload by Nazaray

The Story Behind Sound Blocks — A playground for composing music


Currently on Kickstarter

"What is Sound Blocks?

Sound Blocks is a groundbreaking music composition app for Mac and Windows. You simply place blocks of sound anywhere on the grid, connect them together and play!

It's a beautifully animated experience that really brings out the visual character of sounds — (kind of like synesthesia).

You can add 'Control Blocks' to your sequence that act as modifiers for speed, time, randomization and more. Using these tools, you can create intricate musical machines that loop in interesting ways.

It's a remarkably simple new workflow that removes the obstacles and steep learning curves commonly associated with conventional music production software — and by the nature of its distinct design, lets you do things that you might never think doing of with other music apps.

Who is it for? Can I use it if I'm not a musician?

Sound Blocks is for anyone who wants to dive into music production, whether you're a child, non-musician, gamer or a professional music producer — it has something for everyone. The workflow is super intuitive and playful, and you can learn to use it in about 10 seconds — no prior music experience needed.

What does it offer for skilled musicians and producers?

Sound Blocks will give you a completely new workflow to experiment and create the kind of music you might otherwise never make using a conventional DAW. The non-linear sequencing approach, alongside features like Control Blocks and asynchronous loops will open new creative avenues for some serious artistic exploration. The more funding our Kickstarter project raises, the more advanced features we'll be able to add, such as the ability to add your own samples, crazy effects pedals and much much more. We will be sharing a detailed development roadmap soon."

"Available now from the Memetune Bandcamp merch page - a very limited run of BOTH Annuals (2023 and the new 2024 edition) at a special price!

https://zackdagoba.bandcamp.com/merch...

The new Annual is also released today:

https://zackdagoba.bandcamp.com/merch...

The second edition of the Memetune Programme Annual - for the year 2024

Hardback book (A4 size) with 74 full colour pages and download code for the accompanying music album

Based on the second season of Benge's unique 6 part TV series focussing on his passion for vintage synths, studio gear and video production equipment

The Memetune 2024 Annual follows the TV series format, broken down into the following categories:

LITTLE BLACK BOXES looks at some classic 80s and 90s rack mount synths, instruments that are often overlooked due to their utterly bland appearance. Their sounds, however, are anything but

SWITCHED ON CYBERSYNTHS features a brief history and description of abstract electronic music, in particular sounds created on modular synths, taking in randomness, chaos theory, feedback loops, nonlinear modifiers, plus stochastic and algorithmic ideas. It ends with perhaps the largest modular synth patch ever attempted, featuring 11 of the Memetune modulars containing over 430 modules

SYNTHESISER CLUB points a vintage video camera at various synthesisers and systems, and focuses on ‘families’ of synths, meaning a group of instruments made by one manufacturer in a particular time in synth history

PATCHING TODAY is a deep dive into patching on a selection of vintage modular systems, namely the Modcan A-Series (the most versatile modular ever made?), the Polyfusion 2000 (the simplest modular?), an EMS rig containing a VCS3, TKS sequencer, 8-octave filter bank and dual Synthi 100 HPF (the most English modular?), a Paia 4700 (the worst modular ever made?), the Buchla 100 (the first modular ever made?) and a hybrid Roland “green” modular system containing a modified System 100, SH5 with special modular panel and RE201 Space Echo (the ‘wonkiest’ system ever made?)

VIDEO LAB begins by presenting a short film called Proof of Hypertravel made entirely in the Lab, and then goes on to detail the lengthy process that went into making it, covering such things as Storyboarding, World-Building, Green Screening, Compositing, Special Effects, and types of vintage video cameras

There is also the Memetune Puzzle Page, the legendary Memetune Dictionary of Words, and a tour of the Memetune garden in a 1980 Lotus Esprit

The music on the download album that accompanies this annual has been selected from the second series and contains all the tracks made in the Synthesiser Club, Patching Today and Little Black Boxes sections respectively, approximately 60 minutes of original synthesiser compositions to enjoy whilst perusing the Annual

Noise Engineering Announces Gamut Repetitor, a Four-Channel Generative Sequencer

video upload by Noise Engineering

Press release follows:

Los Angeles, CA — Modular synthesizer company Noise Engineering, known for their unique Eurorack and software instruments and effects, has announced a new generative sequencer: Gamut Repetitor.

Noise Engineering has a history of taking classic synthesizer building blocks and putting their own spin on them. This time, they’ve taken the idea of random voltage generation, inspired by the Source of Uncertainty, and completely rethought the concept from the ground up, allowing for a huge amount of control over the results and an immediate and enjoyable patching experience.

Gamut Repetitor features four channels, each with their own trigger and CV outs. A global Reset input can be used to keep looping sequences in phase, and each channel features an advance input. The inputs normal down so the whole module can be run from a single clock, if desired. Triggers can be passed through to their respective outs directly, or randomized trigger sequences can be generated for complete note sequencing.

Gamut Repetitor’s workflow is fast and jamable. The Root parameter chooses a key, and a switch-controlled quantizer selects a set of notes, from exclusively octaves to chromatic, with many scale and chord variations in between. The Spread parameter adjusts how far the generated voltages will deviate from the root note, and the Down/Up parameter adjusts the direction of the deviation.

The real fun begins with the Length parameter. At the highest setting, random voltages are continuously generated, but turning the parameter down will loop the previous voltages, creating a sequence between 1 and 32 steps long, depending on the setting.

With its extensive CV inputs and plethora of outputs, Gamut Repetitor can easily be integrated into large generative patches, working seamlessly with other signal generators. However, its clever design and comprehensive interface also allows it to generatively sequence up to four voices with only a clock input.

Gamut Repetitor is available in both black and silver, and is available now at https://noiseengineering.us and at retailers globally. [Check with dealers on the right.]

Features
* Generative sequencer with four channels
* Internal quantizer with 27 selectable scales
* Continuously generate or loop random voltages
* Loops can be up to 32 steps long
* Generate CV and trigger patterns
* 100% CV-controllable interface
* Run with a single clock or advance channels separately

Availability and pricing:
Gamut Repetitor: In stock in black and silver. Shipping from Noise Engineering and retailers starting June 20th, 2024; MSRP US$370

Bob Moog Foundation: Adam Holzman Live at Static Age in Asheville NC

video upload by moogfoundation

"On Saturday, June 29, 2024, Holzman will perform a synthesizer and piano concert at Static Age Records.

Doors will open at 7 p.m. and the show will begin at 8 p.m. For the performance, Holzman will create all sequences and loops in real-time analog without the assistance of a laptop using a variety of synthesizers. When asked to describe the concert, Holzman stated, “It will be sort of Tangerine Dream meets Keith Jarret.”

Tickets for the performance are $20 per person: bit.ly/AdamHolzmanLive.

Holzman is a masterful keyboard player, educator, author, and cartoonist who has spent his career performing with some of music’s biggest names while releasing numerous highly acclaimed recordings. From 1985-1989, he performed more than 200 concerts worldwide with jazz legend, Miles Davis, serving as Davis’s musical director in 1988. Holzman also toured and/or recorded extensively with Grover Washington Jr., Chaka Khan, Wayne Shorter, and many others. Holzman has frequently collaborated with British rocker Steven Wilson and is featured on many of Wilson’s acclaimed releases. Since 2012, Holzman has consistently placed high in Classic Rock and Prog magazine’s ‘Best Keyboard Player’ category. In addition to performing, Holzman wrote Creative Synthesizer Technique, which can be purchased at the Moogseum or online, and teaches part-time at The New School University in New York City.

Funds raised from ticket purchases for the concert and workshop will be used to expand the Bob Moog Foundation’s hallmark education project, Dr. Bob’s SoundSchool, which has inspired over 30,000 elementary school students through the science of sound. The auction will also help support the Bob Moog Foundation Archives and the Moogseum, an immersive, experiential facility located in Asheville, North Carolina, which brings Bob Moog’s pioneering legacy and the science of sound and synthesis alive for people of all ages. The Moogseum opened in 2019 and has since welcomed over nearly 35,000 visitors.

Bring back Rings! PlayFader Ambient Exploration

video upload by MATTHS

"Bring back rings! Yes, you know 'those ambient rings jams'! This is something new for me, moving away from my hard techno background, I wanted to explore the more ambient world once again. Armed with the Play All Day PlayFader (which is awesome) and has been so much fun to play with, I decided to build and dedicate a small case for more ambient noodles.

Here the PlayFader is sequencing everything.
MIDI is going to the Knobula Pianophonic while CV and Gate is going to Mutable Instrument Rings. Im playing with the Fun ability of the PlayFader to make more interesting loops within loops and there is lashing of reverb of course.

Enjoy!"

Machinedrum X Digitone Memories Are Portals

video upload by VoltageCtrlRtv

"Back to the sonic experiments with the Machinedrum and Digitone today.

The Machinedrum is my demolition crew. I crank the compressor, sculpting earth-shaking kicks and snare cracks that sting. Decay knobs become my paintbrush, leaving trails of haunting ghost notes. It's a percussive warzone, raw samples transformed into heavy artillery. Then I switch gears, the Digitone becoming my sonic architect. I twist its metallic heart, coaxing out FM tones that shimmer and bite. Arpeggios become rhythmic companions, each note a brick building a driving bassline. Together, they're a brutal fusion... the Machinedrum's raw power intertwined with the Digitone's laser-sharp melodies. It's a sonic assault, a dance between chaos and precision.

I included a .wav file from the Machinedrum for the

/ voltagectrlr subscribers to sample.
I'm working on a new sound pack with Machinedrum one shots and loops that will be available soon. http://audibleobjects.com"
