1. Depeche Mode Enjoy the Silence synth cover Clavia Nord Modular G1 Atari ST Steinberg Cubase

All drum and synth sounds produced simultaneously by the Nord Modular without any multi-tracking.

This is my attempt at creating a ‘one synth’ cover of Enjoy the Silence, using only 4 sound patches on my Clavia Nord Modular G1 (with DSP Expansion), sequenced using Steinberg Cubase 3.1 on my old Atari ST.

Just for fun, I thought it might be interesting to use Logic Pro, synchronised to Cubase on the Atari using MIDI Time Code, to playback the original DM vocals (on track 1) in sync with the audio coming from the Nord Modular. Tracks 2 and 3 are recording the audio coming from the Nord Modular, along with reverb from my Soundcraft mixer recording on track 4.

Playlist:-
0.06 Nord Modular + original DM vocals
4.28 Individual sounds and sequences
8.03 Nord Modular instrumental

Nord Modular Patches:-
Slot A = Drums (CPU = 89.3% Poly = 1)
Slot B = Bassline and Bells (CPU = 49.4% Poly = 3)
Slot C = Vox Chords, Phaser Strings and Vox Melody (CPU = 76% Poly = 7)
Slot D = Guitar, Filter Sweep Bass and Synth (CPU = 95.7% Poly = 4)

Nord Modular audio outputs:-
1+2 = Dry / No effects
3+4 = Hall reverb from my Soundcraft mixer

Model 77 Dual Layer Synth Softube NO TALKING SOUNDS DEMO

NO TALKING SOUNDS DEMO video upload by Andrew G Dugros





Details via Plugin Boutique & Softube:

The most expressive synth of its time, redesigned.

The authentic sound, interactions, and performance of three famed Japanese hardware units from 1977
A redesigned, intuitive new interface for an improved and modern workflow
Three versions included: the instrument, seven modules for Modular, and two modules for Amp Room
Model 77 Dual Layer Synth gives you one of the most influential sounds of our time. It is the iconic sound of Blade Runner, Chariots of Fire, Billie Jean, Africa, and Human Nature — among countless others. Softube modeled and accurately articulated every detail of the circuits of three legendarily expressive Japanese synthesizers from 1977 and put them in one user-friendly plug-in. The sound, interaction, and performance remain as close to the hardware as possible, while the complex interfaces of the original instruments are enhanced with an intuitive redesign. Finally, your most-coveted synth has the workflow you deserve.

The Art of Rock & Roll Science

Softube's reputation for creating tools that enhance workflow and offer superior sound quality is rock solid. Their partnerships with premium brands like Tube-Tech, Solid State Logic, Chandler Limited, Weiss Engineering, and Trident have spanned decades.

They built Model 77 Dual Layer Synth on this legacy of passion, expert modeling, and attention to detail. Because to create synth plug-ins that innovate and elevate, you have to have heart, soul, and Rock & Roll Science.

Time for a redesign

When designing Model 77, Softube took great care to create a more efficient user interface that makes the plug-in easier to navigate. Two layers are accessible directly from the front panel, but the focus stays on one layer at a time. This improvement enables you to adjust your sound quickly and confidently. Softube also redesigned the position of the sections to communicate the instrument's proper signal flow. A change that helps facilitate sound design. Now, the Ring Mod section on the interface corresponds to its location in the signal flow. The balance slider is between the upper and lower layers so that you can self-assuredly move between the layers while adjusting
parameters for each layer.

TrebleSynth single chip modular synthesizer

video upload by profdc9

"This video presents the TrebleSynth modular synthesizer based on the Raspberry Pi Pico. It is a six voice polyphonic subtractive and FM synthesizer with MIDI USB and serial support. One can create instruments by connecting together modules and adjusting analog controls. All processing occurs on the Pico. It is open source software and hardware. You can find the project at https://www.github.com/profdc9/Treble..."

"The TrebleSynth is a "Modular Synth on a Chip" based on the Raspberry Pi Pico. It is a through-hole design that is easy to assemble yourself and uses only inexpensive generic parts that are widely available to minimize costs. One can create various modules on the chip and interconnect them by specifying which unit takes input from another input, assign the controls of these modules to potentiometers, and then adjust the potentiometers to achieve your desired sound. It also has a fully capable effects module on the chip as well. The modular synth supports six note polyphony.

The synth has a 25 key, two-octave keyboard (though external MIDI controllers are highly recommended, as the built-in synth keys are rudimentary and more suitable for testing). The TrebleSynth accepts notes over serial MIDI input and outputs the synth keyboard presses over the serial MIDI output. There is also a USB MIDI input/output, and notes can be played from a computer to the TrebleSynth over USB and similarly the synth keyboard presses are sent over the USB MIDI output. The are two jacks available for expression and selection pedals.

beneath the surface ... Neutral Labs Elmyra 2 ... ambient

video upload by substan

"A first test flight with the Neutral Labs Elmyra 2. I´m REALLY blown away by the dark, beautifully textured und distorted sound that comes out of this little box. The built-in sequencer is a significant part of its charm and makes the Elmyra an inspiring playground.

It's a blessing to get send a great device and the only payment for it is to make music with it, which is just inspiring and fun.

Elmyra runs through Valhalla Room.
Recorded in on take into Ableton.
Mastered in post."

Real World Interface by Verbos Electronics - Overview & Demo

video upload by Stazma

"Today I'll be showing you the new Real World Interface by Verbos Electronics.
This is sort of the first contact with the module, trying all the things I thought i could do and listening to different stuff processed throught it.
It's a very interesting and deep module, and there's so many ways to use it that I'll do a second video with a few more patch ideas soon.

Have fun!"

00:00 Intro
01:11 Fast forward unboxing & first patches
02:41 Module Overview
04:23 Patching a compressor
06:04 Pre-amp & saturation test
08:22 Drum machine driven patches
14:17 A.G.C, Fundamental & Locked VCO outputs
17:54 Stereo pre-amplification & enveloppe follower
22:38 End talk

The Real World Interface is a 3 channel external processing module intended for connecting with sound sources outside the system. The channels are oriented as vertical channel strips. The left and right channels have a built-in condenser microphone, preamp, envelope follower with variable decay and gate extractor. In addition to a preamp, envelope follower and gate extractor, the center channel also has an Automatic Gain Control (fixed high ratio compressor), fundamental extractor (tracking lowpass filter), frequency detector and locked oscillator. Internal microphones are useful for introducing electro acoustic room sound into the modular. Envelope followers can be used to have external signal levels effect parameters such as filter cutoff or level for building dynamics processors. Gate extraction allows external sounds such as metronomes, clicks, claps or room sounds to advance sequencers, trigger sounds or initiate other events. The Frequency Detector can extract the pitch of simple monophonic sounds but is also a semi chaotic CV source in the tradition of such modules since their introduction in the 1960’s. The Locked Oscillator plays a sine wave at the same pitch as the input signal.

Introducing the Kodamo MASK1 Bitmask Synthesizer

video uploads by Kodamo

"The Kodamo MASK1 is a musical instrument focused on the sound interaction between the player and the keyboard. With its exclusive Bitmask™ engine combined with resonant filters, the MASK1 makes raw, gritty and ethereal sounds that respond in incredible ways to your playing style."

"What is Bitmask synthesis?

Bitmask synthesis is the method the MASK1 uses to generate its sound. Internally, oscillators do only have one waveform. Various tones are created by applying what is called a bitmask. This is a technique inherited from computing, which alters a number by masking some of its digits. Here we adapted this technique to make sound. Bit-masking creates complex wave shapes that are full of harmonics and give the MASK1 its sonic character."

Expressive & Characterful

The Kodamo MASK1 is a musical instrument focused on the interaction between the player and the keyboard. With its exclusive Bitmask engine combined with resonant filters, the MASK1 makes raw, gritty and ethereal sounds that respond in incredible ways to your playing style.

It's not just the notes

Most synths just play the notes you press. We went a bit further, by looking at how the notes interact with each other. Only by playing the keyboard, you can control when the attacks are triggered, how notes are tied or separated from each other, or if they should keep resonating or stop each other like if they were played on the same string on a stringed instrument. You will discover new ways of playing the keyboard.

Built with love

The MASK1 uses a high quality, 5-octave Fatar keyboard with velocity and aftertouch. It's fully made of painted metal, with two ALPS knobs and 23 KAILH mechanical switches. Everything is assembled in France with high attention to detail. We love creating musical instruments that have their own identity. We spent a lot of time selecting parts and suppliers to balance price and work ethics, while always aiming for the highest quality.

For live and studio players

With its compact size and light weight, the MASK1 will easily fit in your studio and is ideal for gigs. It remembers settings between sessions. With its unique sound, premium keyboard and MIDI connectivity, it can become the main keyboard of your setup.

Testing Image-Line/FL Studio 21 Luxeverb With Access Virus TI2

video upload by Eyezer Productionz Sound Design

"After a bit of a hiatus on my end, I am back again with my classic FL Studio sessions. FL Studio 21 was recently released and I decided to test the new Luxeverb plugin.

Unfortunately, it is a plugin that requires to be bought separately (unless if you own the all plugins bundle). However, it is a decent reverb plugin. Not as good as Valhalla Room imo, but Luxeverb has all the important features you need in a reverb FX. I mess around with Luxeverb while playing some of my own presets I've made in the Access Virus TI2."
