"Finally after some years I found a Yamaha RX5 for a nice price.

This is really a fine machine, capable of 80's beats, techno and IDM.

Here's just 1 pattern rocking out"

"First, I run through the Internal and and Cart sounds (forgot to look to see what cart #) triggered via MIDI keyboard. Next I demonstrate the "Reverese" and "Damp" functions. Damp allows you to silence the decay on an instrument much like choking a cymbal. Lastly, I demonstrate a function that turns the drum machine into a 16 part monophonic, multi-timbral sound module. Here, I sequence four parts (DXClav, Bass1, Snare1 and Closed Hi Hat) with a Roland Fantom X6."

Spark2 Tutorials


And the press release:

"Arturia announces availability of outstanding SPARK 2 drum machine software

“I love the quick and easy ways to get results using SPARK 2. The ability to build up your own kit mixed with your own samples is very cool. My favourites to go for in SPARK 2 are the vintage drum machines. They have an analogue sound and no one hit is exactly the same, so you don’t get the ugly ‘machine gun’ effect — really useful!”

- Trentemøller, 2014 (electronic music producer and multi-instrumentalist)

GRENOBLE, FRANCE: having made its beat-making mark when premiered to critical acclaim at the 2014 NAMM Show in Anaheim, California, music and hardware company Arturia is proud to announce availability of SPARK 2 — bringing a new look, new feel, and new features to its premier sound- sculpting and performance drum machine software for Mac and Windows — as of April 30...

With the timely introduction of SPARK 2, Arturia has given its beat creation software a new look, new feel, and a whole host of new features fit to make it the premier sound-sculpting and performance drum machine on the market — all the more so when perfectly paired up with the award-winning SPARK Creative Drum Machine and SparkLE Creative Drum Machine controllers. It’s a match made in hybrid heaven that’s more flexible than ever before!

While SPARK has always been built on a fully-modular VA (Virtual Analogue) sound engine, originally only developers had access to this wonderful-sounding rhythmical power source. Not now. With the all-new MODULAR screen, SPARK 2 users are now free to add and subtract modules (including Oscillator, multimode Filter and Karplus-Strong Filter, Envelope, Lfo, MiniMixer, RingMod, and Bode Frequency Shifter); create their own patch routings; and assign up to six macro controls for immediate control. Clearly, it’s this truly modular, fully-accessible sound engine that makes SPARK 2 truly shine as the ultimate drum synthesizer!

With SPARK 2, Arturia has taken the opportunity to update the look and feel of SPARK to allow for faster workflow, while creating a layout that allows it to grow well into the future and secure its longevity — no easy feat in today’s here today, gone tomorrow’s world of rapidly disposable developments. New tabbed pages provide a cleaner look, more screen space, and faster access to the most needed features — features like an all-new MIXER window (with level, pan, and insert effects and sends — to 14 unique professional-grade effects, no less), expanded PATTERN edit screen, and enhanced LIBRARY page for better data management.

SPARK 2 also adds 50 new kits — including no fewer than 800 new instruments — that span many more musical genres than ever before, including trap, hip-hop, tech house, and nu disco, to name but a few modern electronic music styles, as well as acoustic drum kits capably spanning modern rock, funk, R ’n’ B, pop, vintage rock, and latin percussion. Vintage drum machine enthusiasts are also well catered for with ear-opening emulations of the likes of Roland’s TR-808, TR-909, TR-707, TR-606, and CR-78; LinnDrum, Linn 9000; Oberheim DMX; E-mu Drumulator; Sequential Circuits Drumtraks; Yamaha RX5; and Simmons SDS-V — analogue and digital classics all. And all kits come complete with 32 patterns that can be used by themselves or form the basis of user-programmed beats.

Bringing up the rear, SPARK 2 sees SONG mode updated, too. Song segments can now be configured and then replayed at the touch of a button. Users can create song sections that will play from one pattern to another and then recall these sections via the step buttons on the SPARK Creative Drum Machine and SparkLE Creative Drum Machine controllers — perfect performance enhancements!

Indeed, integration with the outside world works on multiple levels: as a 32- and 64-bit compatible virtual instrument for Mac and Windows, SPARK 2 can be run standalone or used as a plug-in with popular host DAWs (supporting 16 audio outputs that can be routed and assigned within the host); AIFF, WAV, REX2, and MIDI files can all be imported with drag and drop export of WAV format patterns and MIDI sequence formats into DAWs; and all parameters on SPARK 2’s MAIN screen are MIDI-assignable for control via any external MIDI device.

So why not get behind the wheel of a truly creative drum machine and let SPARK 2 help you create truly driving rhythms with minimum fuss and maximum musical output. No driving lessons required!

SPARK 2 can be exclusively purchased online from Arturia for an introductory promotional price of €129.00 EUR/$129.00 USD between May 1 and June 30, inclusive (rising to €169.00 EUR/$189.00 USD thereafter); alternatively, Arturia is also offering a promotional pricing of €199.00 EUR/$199.00 USD on the SparkLE Creative Drum Machine controller (with SPARK 2 included) between those same dates (rising to €249.00 EUR/$299.00 USD thereafter) from any authorised dealer or online from here: http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/buy/spark2introductorypromotion"

Paleo Hebrew (Experimental Music Video)

video upload by CatSynth TV

"An experimental music video based on the characters of the Paleo-Hebrew alphabet. This alphabet is nearly identical to Phoenician, and is believed to have been used by the ancient Israelites from around 1000-500 BCE after which Aramaic became more prominent, ultimately leading to modern Hebrew script. This is a one-to-one letter correspondence between Paleo-Hebrew and modern Hebrew scripts.

The characters of the alphabet are processed using Max/MSP/Jitter and are triggered via MIDI from the same sequences used for the drums. The 'melodic' sound uses a 22edo tuning, representing the 22 letters of the alphabet.

instruments used:
Yamaha RX5
Kilpatrick CARBON Sequencer
Arturia Synclavier V
Arturia CMI V
Arturia DELAY 201

XR10 Description/coments:
» Akai's first (and only) preset drum machine, launched in the late 80’s (1989).
» Provides drum sounds unlike those found in competing products at the time. As well as 'stock' kit and percussion sounds, the XR10 is packed with many sounds of its time, such as Peter Gabriel-style gated power toms, big Robert Palmer kicks and snares, trashy Jam and Lewis sounds, Simmons kit and others!
» The sounds are very similar to the classic Linn Drum & the electronic kits do a very good 808 impression! Used by Alec Reece, Prince, Larry Heard (Mr. Fingers), Peter Gabriel…
»The XR10 is one of a few 80s machines that doesn't have a filter (like the Yamaha RX5 and the Linn LM-1) which means that when you pitch down the sounds, you get some crunchy clock noise and aliasing artefacts, which can be quite cool.
» The compact XR10 contains 65 of the most impressive collection of 16 bit digital drum sounds you'll ever hear! PLUS! You can create YOUR OWN SOUNDS, using the extensive editing parameters including sweep, reverse decay, (fine) tune, and more.
»The decay parameter is adjustable from 0-1.5 sec in 31 steps. Other parameters such as Hold and Sweep let you select the desired sustain power and the pitch sweep. Reverse opens a whole new set of sounds! Programs you create can be stored in any of the 32 user programmable memory locations.
» The XR10 also gives you the powerful ability to create effect send mixes (fully assignable effect send) which will greatly help free up mixing channels on your recording studio board.
» It wasn't an overwhelming success as a drum machine due to its somewhat 'quirky' pattern/song programming user interface... however… it was very popular as a sound module when driven from an external sequencer (as a drum module triggered from external sources), as it provides a wide range of kit sounds from the era."
