Surge XT Quick Minute


video upload by boxoftextures

"Well, this was not the video I was expecting to upload today but was surprised with the release yesterday of Surge XT. New and improved! I really liked the original (non-XT version) and I really like this one; can do all sorts of things with it as it's easy to use but super deep. This is just a minute or so, basically just a shimmering pad (my usual I suppose). Gimme a few weeks and who knows what'll happen! 100% Surge XT, nothing else.

Tera Pro BrainZ Tour


video upload by boxoftextures

"So I was planning to do a Tera Pro video this week just, well, just because. There were a good number of things that took me a while to either figure out, or perhaps just to notice, so I've been thinking of doing not a demo and not a tutorial, but more of a tour. But then they released the BrainZ module as an add-on, based on the Mutable Instruments Plaits module, that you can add to Tera Pro. So I did a tour of the basics of the BrainZ module instead, and I'll do a more general tour at a later date.

So the good part is that BrainZ adds a ton of options to Tera Pro. It's got 16 different synth models, and a good number of controls for them. Basically I set up an 8-step sequence and let it run while I went through each of the different models. So, true confession, I recorded the video, edited it, put in the labels, and only when it was more or less done was when I realized I'd gone through the models row by row, whereas the manual goes through one column and then down the next. Totally my fault! And hopefully I'm not going to confuse everyone. At least I noticed and was able to change the labels so they'd be correct. But to make matters worse, I skipped one! (15. Analog Snare Drum Model.) No idea why, but thankfully at least the one I skipped I used in my demo patch, so you at least get to hear it. Honestly I was wondering what all those crazy icons meant, and it turns out they make sense, and some of them are related to each other (the drum ones, for instance). So remember kids, read the manual first and then make your video.

Note that there's a lot more capability in BrainZ than I've shown here as I've only done some basic modulation. There's more in it than I've shown.

I totally recommend Tera Pro, and I have both of the optional add-ons (the other one being the Waves wavetable module). Once you wrap your head around the perhaps slightly unusual user interface it makes a lot of sense, and making your own patches can be very rewarding once you've gotten comfortable with it.

VM2500 Walk-through


video by boxoftextures

"Cherry Audio recently released their VM2500 Collection, basically recreations of the ARP 2500 series of modules and I had to immediately purchase a set. This is more of a deep dive than my more usual synth demos, both because there are a lot of modules in the set, although I only cover some of them, but also because with modular systems there's simply a huge amount of options available in how you set everything up. Which is the basic idea of course. In this video I walk you through a number of different patches, going over these particular modules and how I used them but also getting into general modular principles. I'm assuming at least some prior knowledge of how synthesis works as this isn't really a Beginning Modular Synthesis course, although I've thought of doing a series along those lines to be honest, but even if you're a beginner you should at least be able to get an idea of what I'm aiming for.

The patches I make here include just a basic does-this-make-noise patch, then a "typical" synth patch, although it feels to me like a typical '70s ARP sound. I follow those up with two sequencer-driven patches and then a self-playing generative type of patch. Kind of a wide range there.

BLEASS Omega Patching


video upload by boxoftextures

"The new BLEASS Omega synthesizer is a 4-operator FM synth that's pretty easy to program and kind of fun to use. And it's colorful! Which actually helps with the patching as each operator is color coded so you can keep them all straight. The synth has 16 algorithms, which gives you a good bit of flexibility. There's also a modulation page that has two LFOs and a spare envelope generator, a motion sequencer page, and a waveshaper and filter page, as well as an effects page. Somehow when new apps are released I always want to record my first efforts but I never seem to remember that when I'm busy unwrapping a new toy. So I missed the first patch, a nice chorus-y string-y pad. I got the next several patches though—lead, bass, and cheesy electric piano. As a bonus there's a crazy bleeping and blooping thing that happened when I clicked the randomize button, which can sometimes result in great fun.

So bottom line is I was pleasantly surprised how quick and easy it was to make usable and interesting patches with the BLEASS Omega synth. Everything's clearly laid out and even though there are things on different tabs it's all easy enough to get to without any menu diving needed. The video's about 20 minutes, with the three patch constructions being about 4 or 5 minutes each.

I recorded this demo on a Mac but note that the iPad app is identical and with a little work (via importing/exporting) you can share patches between them.

Memorymode Patching Demo


video upload by boxoftextures

"I love this thing. When I was in my 20s I suppose this was *the* polysynth. Yes, I know there were others, but this was the one I always wanted but I had no chance of being able to afford one. So when Memorymode came out I jumped on it immediately. Is it the same as the original? Not sure, but I think that's the wrong question. And the answer is that Memorymode feels like the original and can make the patches I've always wanted to make. And hey, it costs about $8,000 or $12,000 less than the original to boot, so I'm not complaining at all.

In a way I don't have all that much to say about this synth, other than that it's easy to program and sounds great. Three thick oscillators, nice filter, and some decent modulation capabilities (a little limited, but hey, that's how things were in the '80s). Plus, I can toss it in my backpack, which is something you could never do with the 70 pound original.

Voltage Modular VM900 System 35 Sequence


video upload by boxoftextures

"Built a Moog System 35 modular system using the VM900 Collection modules in Voltage Modular. Essentially the System 35 is one row of modules, but in this case I've also added the Sequencer Complement B Expansion Cabinet as well. I've also built the larger System 55, which adds another row of modules to the cabinet, and am planning to make the smaller Model 15 as well. Can't quite duplicate them exactly but they're darn close. One of the things that's not the same is the signal routing modules, which aren't in Voltage Modular, although to be fair you don't at all need them in the software version the way you do in hardware. Another difference is that there's "only" a selection of modules as opposed to everything Moog ever made. That's also not a problem either. As an example, the 921ABB dual oscillator module in the System 35 isn't included in the VM900 Collection, but the 921ABBB from the System 55 is, so while not 100% authentic you can just pretend your System 35 doesn't have those extra B oscillators. Another difference is the keyboard interface modules, but again, because this is software that's not really a problem. Lastly the half-height row of the cabinet, the one at the bottom with the Console Panels, isn't part of either Voltage Modular or the VM900 Collection. But once again, that's not really an issue as you do have the functionality of those modules in the software regardless.

This video was recorded uninterrupted from start to finish, with no cuts or edits in the video at all. Note that it takes a few minutes to patch together enough modules for the thing to actually make noises, perhaps around 5 minutes or so. Also, I start from the bare System 35 and patch it all from scratch, with captions and highlights to show what I'm doing. Downloadable patch files will be posted for my Patreon subscribers shortly, so if you'd like to grab those head on over there and join up if you'd like."

Korg Modwave Quick Minute


video upload by boxoftextures

"Just got the new Korg Modwave Native synth app. I have wavetable synths both hardware and software, but this one is just fantastic. Haven't even had near enough time to go deep on it yet but it's reasonably straightforward to work with (although I'll still read the manual as there's tons of stuff here). Hundreds of wavetables, and samples as well, which I haven't even gotten to yet. And 2,000 modulation slots (!). Gosh, I hope that's enough LOL.

Cherry Audio Quadra demo tune—The Four


video upload by boxoftextures

"Recently got Quadra from Cherry Audio, a modern software recreation of the ARP Quadra. In a way it's a pretty limited instrument, but that's what the Quadra was. You got four basic elements—bass, strings, poly synth, and lead synth—and they all had a few controls for each, some more than others. The beauty of the Quadra was that for the price of one instrument you had access to all of those sounds, so in a sense it was a real bargain back in the day.

The Cherry Audio Quadra does a good job of recreating the instrument, and it adds a number of things, as usual. There are more effects modules, an arpeggiator, and programmable keyboard zones for separate or overlapping sounds, for example. And pitch and mod wheels (!). And the thing sounds darn good.

This tune was originally supposed to be just the four pure tracks, one for each of the Quadra sections, all my own patches of course. But I couldn't leave it be and had to add a fifth track with another lead section, and I couldn't leave well enough alone and had to make it an impure not-Quadra-only track by adding a pedalboard and a Nembrini Audio Sound Master amp simulator. Just had to get that biting lead sound. Because that's how I roll. As usual. And I make no apologies for it either!

So bottom line, Quadra from Cherry Audio sounds great. I never had an ARP Quadra back in the day, but now I've got those sounds.

BLEASS alpha iOS synthesizer


Published on Feb 2, 2020 boxoftextures

"The BLEASS alpha synthesizer app is a solid new entry in the 2020 iOS synth pantheon. Clean interface and easy to program yet still has modulation power and sounds darn good. Can definitely see using this all the time.

This is a First Touch™ video as the app was released only about 10 hours before recording. In other words, please forgive me if I missed something truly obvious as this was the first time I used it. Definitely looking forward to digging in deeper.

As usual, no presets were harmed in the making of this video, although a few new ones may have been created at the time.

GForce OB-E quick demo


video by boxoftextures

"Quick demo of the OB-E synth software from GForce, makers of the fine M-Tron software among other things. The patch is my own, freshly made. Had no idea this was coming out, and when I saw it this morning was more or less an instabuy. When I was a lad in high school I'd go to Sam Ash on 48th Street in New York City on my way home from high school in the '70s and play all the synths until they'd kick me out, often when it got busy once folks got off work but more often probably because I'd accidentally made some horrid and/or way too loud sound. I played Minimoogs, ARPs, and the Oberheims, and eventually saved up enough to get my first Minimoog. But there was no way I was ever going to be able to get one of those Oberheim Four- or eight-voices as they cost a small fortune at the time. And kind of still do, I suppose. But this software emulation comes darn close. It has the flavor of the eight-voice, and it sounds fantastic. It's also modern, meaning because it's software there are handy shortcuts to make patch programming a bit easier than on the original hardware version. Had great fun making this first patch, and can see getting lost in it for the next week or two. Highly recommended.

ArpBud demo tune


boxoftextures

"A quick demo of ArpBud, but really it was just an excuse for me put together the core of a new arpeggio-based tune. ArpBud has Tal-U-No-LX playing a semi-ratcheted arpeggio with echoes created by a Nembrini Delay. Then Redshrike screams its feedback-y heart out. Still needs a rich pad of some sort, and perhaps a thundering bass as well. Maybe throw in a Mellotron or organ as well. My prog roots run deep, I suppose.

AUM
Tal-U-No-LX
Nembrini Delay

Also, this was played, recorded, edited, and uploaded to YouTube entirely on an iPad Pro.

Wanted to mention that the video editing was done in LumaFusion. Note that I bought the app yesterday and from never touching it before I went to an almost finished video in about three hours. An excellent video app. The "almost" bit is because I had to spend some additional time to figure out how to do scrolling credits. Not difficult but a somewhat odd and interesting technique, which I'm glad I now know how to do.

Chromaphone Quick Patch Demo


video upload by boxoftextures

"Quick demo of some Chromaphone patches I've made. Was minding my own business when it occurred to me that my drummer buddy could make use of some of these patches. So I figured I'd make a 20 second demo so I could show him what I was thinking and then a few hours later somehow ended up here with a complete (quick) demo. It happens, I guess.

All patches are mine, and the end theme under the credits is 100% Chromaphone.

Cherry Audio Polymode was released today. It was actually previously released as a module version as you can see in additional posts here. The following is a quick promo video for the new release.

Cherry Audio | Polymode Synthesizer
video by Cherry Audio

"The latest Cherry Audio instrument is here! Joining the ranks of the lauded DCO-106, CA2600, and MG-1 Plus comes the Polymode Synthesizer.

The Polymode Synthesizer is inspired by the groundbreaking Moog Polymoog synthesizer. One of the world’s first polyphonic synthesizers, its unique multiple parallel filter implementation and mod routings give it a sound like no other synth, The original Polymoog sounded incredible but could be challenging to operate and was prone to breakdowns.

Cherry Audio’s Polymode sidesteps all of the drawbacks of the original instrument and massively expands its capabilities. With a streamlined user interface and immense modulation capabilities, Polymode sets a new standard for animated, sonically evolving string, pad, and choral tones."

Remembered


video upload by boxoftextures

"Well, not quite the usual I suppose. Always loved the sound of the saxophone but never got one, alas. In junior high I wanted French and the flute or sax, but they gave me Spanish and the baritone horn. And I suppose that explains everything, ya know? But hey, now we have iPad software! And iFretless Sax sounds pretty amazing. I also have iFretless Brass, used here as well, and iFretless Bass, which to me feels very Chapman Stick-like, which I love. They also have a guitar app but I haven't tried that one yet for some reason. So one day I had an electric piano going in SnakeBud and I was just sitting there playing "sax" and from out of nowhere, or wherever the music comes from, Remembered arrived. Add a synth wash, as usual, and a shimmered trumpet, et voilĂ , we now have jazz. Or something.

And as always, I thought the video edit wouldn't be a big deal, but somehow every time I think that it's just more and more ridiculous. Which is why I used that screen as the thumbnail for the video. To celebrate it, of course.

This one is sort of both how-to and also music, so again, not quite the usual as more often it's either one or the other. But today it's both. And also, putting together the "stuff used" list for something that sounded like it was "simply" using just four instruments, it somehow turned out to be, well, rather lengthy.

2¼ Minutes of Exquisite Distraction


video upload by boxoftextures

"Well, it was 2:15 in length when I started, but then I had to let it play longer so there'd be enough to keep going under the credits. I'm putting this in the "demo" category even though it's also actual music, but it may be quite some time before it's filled out, added to, totally finished.

So basically this is one way to work on the iPad. Four synths, effects, clips being launched, mixing, etc. Well, two synths I guess as the bass and the piano are pretty much set. And using presets kind of goes against the grain for me but the Other Desert Cities rhythm/echoes thing was just so juicy when I was flipping through the list looking for mine that I had to keep it. And then I used it again LOL. It just makes the thing come alive somehow.

So this tune shows how it all comes together on the iPad, at least for me. Everything in AUM (AUM as a platform?), with launchable MIDI clips in Atom Piano Roll 2. The first clip is just "on" by default, meaning it automatically starts up when the AUM play button is tapped. The others come in when manually launched. It may appear that they're not immediately starting when the button is pressed, mainly because that's true. The clips start on the beat, so if you're careful things can easily be kept in sync. And I'm not going to mention a take or two where I was not as careful as I needed to be and things were on beat two or three instead of on beat one. There's settings to deal with that if you care to, but I don't usually.

Bass courtesy of iFretless Bass, the closest to a Chapman Stick you can get without getting a Chapman Stick. As I've said before, always wanted one and may someday actually do it. There's a black 10-string Railboard (with aluminum dot inlays and a MIDI pickup) with my name on it somewhere off in the possibly distant future. But I digress. Weird but entrancing "clapping" rhythm provided by adding Other Desert Cities onto the bass. Flipping through the presets and I literally did a "whoa" when I stopped on that one. Piano chords from Ravenscroft; it just feels like a piano to me when I play it. Extra added space courtesy of Eos 2, kind of my go to. Then some ridiculously thick and moving textures from Flowtones. Only had it a little while but it's already one of my favorite synths, enough so that I'm probably going to get the Mac version too. And then I decided I needed a little bit more of some punchy rhythm so I went for Laplace and cranked up some resonator action. And then I sent that through the same Other Desert Cities preset and on into Shimmer for added texture. As one does. And then we'll see what happens after that once it's given some time to develop.

Quick Demo of Five Augmented Voices Patches


video upload by boxoftextures

"Quick demo of five Augmented Voices patches I've made. Augmented Voices, along with Augmented Strings, are two of the new synths included in the just released Arturia V Collection version 9. Similar(ish) programming interface to Pigments, each patch has two layers, one "voice-y" layer and one "synth-y" layer, and each of those has two sound sources, kind of like oscillator equivalents. In a way they're simple to program but they're at the same time pretty deep as well. Lots of flexibility and all sorts of things you can do with the controls. Looking forward to spending more time with the Augmenteds.

Note that this is the very short version of this video just to demo the patches. There'll be a longer version in a few days that shows two of the patches being made start to finish.

All patches are mine, and the end theme under the credits is one of the patches from the video.

Patching the Octave Cat


video upload by boxoftextures

"Another amazing vintage synth recreation from Cherry Audio, this time the Octave Cat. Although possibly it should really be The Cat, from Octave. Either way, it's fun to program and sounds great. Always wanted one, back in the day. They also made the Kitten, a smaller version, and the Catstick, a joystick you could hook up to your other synths. Still want one of those!

And the Cherry Audio software version is excellent. It has character, and power. And it adds an extra page the original didn't have, with effects and a sequencer. Oh, and adds polyphony too. But it was the '70s, and we didn't really have such things back then, or at least most of us didn't.

In this video I'm making four patches from scratch. As usual. What's a little different is that I usually make a few before recording a video, just to get a feel for the synth. For this one though I just dove right in, so at times it may have taken me a little while to notice things, or figure them out. But it's not an overly complicated synth so wasn't a huge issue. And it sounds great. Which I may have mentioned before LOL

Wires Walkthrough


video upload by boxoftextures

"Just got Wires, a new effect plug-in from AudioThing/Hainbach. Don't think I've done an entire video about an effect before, although now that I think of it I might have made some looper and shimmer videos. But regardless, this was great fun, instantly felt I was in some '70s Le Carre spy movie! Did this on an iPad but there's also a computer version as well (Mac/Windows/Linux) which I also have.

Basically you're running your sound through a Soviet wire recorder, and there's lots of controls to mangle things in subtle or not-so-subtle ways. Tons of fun! I used a sequencer in this demo as that was my immediately imagined use case but now I'm thinking about how it could be useful for vocals, say.

I called this video a walkthrough, which I haven't really done before. It's not exactly a demo, but it's also not a complete user guide or review either. I do demonstrate most of the controls though so you should be able to get a good idea of what's possible.
