PlantsSystem-Duos&Prophet-5

video upload by plantssystem

"This video work captures the unpredictable changes in sound that occur when the analog circuits of a Sequential Prophet-5 and a Hikari Instruments Duos are feedback-connected and interfere with each other.
The Prophet-5's rich polyphonic sound stimulates the Duos's sharp circuit response, responding sensitively to even the slightest touches, creating an organic, tense acoustic space.
This experimental work captures, through both sound and video, the moment of feedback, which oscillates between control and rampage.

MYFIEND // DANCING HANDS // ARPOLOOP VS LABYRINTH

video upload by Keith Duncan Sound

"I don't really touch the moog labyrinth here but I definitely like this combo, the labyrinth is so tribal and the arpoloop takes ages to get somewhere but when it gets there I haven't heard anything else like it.

The arpo is clocking the labby... I'll have to get some bigger patch cables"

Low Poly Synth by warmplace.ru Now Available

video uploads by Alexander Zolotov

Follow-up to this post.



"Low Poly Synth is a generator of melodic atmospheric sounds with billions of unique timbres.
https://warmplace.ru/soft/lpsynth
(standalone app for all systems and AUv3 plugin for iOS)

The app is built on modified synthesis algorithms from Fractal Bits, Relic Waves, and Relic Flow, with the addition of pure tone generation code.
The sound space is divided into 4294967296 presets, each corresponding to a set of 8 sample textures. The volume of an individual sample can be adjusted in the top panel or via MIDI. The bottom panel is a classic musical keyboard that sets the note for the sounds in the set. Each note triggers all 8 samples at once - together they form a complex harmonic pattern that almost never repeats over time due to the different lengths of the looped fragments.

Features:
search for new sounds with three buttons: next random set, edit code, previous set; each set of 8 sounds corresponds to a code of 8 characters (you can save/copy/paste it as plain text);
three types of keyboards for live performing: on-screen, PC keyboard, MIDI input; for the on-screen keyboard, you can set the number of displayed octaves and scale;
20+ parameters can be controlled via MIDI or directly through the app interface: Settings / MIDI Mapping;
real-time audio recording to WAV (32-bit);
export to: WAV (one file or a set), SunVox (samples + effects in one file), text clipboard;
the LCK button freezes individual samples - they will not change during the search for new sets;
Wi-Fi export/import;
iOS: Audio Unit Extension (AUv3).
