"KORG's developer Tatsuya Takahashi, maker of the Monotron Series and more recently the Volca Series, dropped by the KOMA offices in Berlin for some chatting about analog gear and to show his new -awesome- machines...

We decided to hook it all up and jam a little bit...

MacBeth NEXUST TEST 4) PWM

Published on May 6, 2013 macbethsynthesizers·81 videos

"Here's a short burst of dual, independant Pulse Width Modulation on Oscillators 1 and 3 of the NEXUS prototype. Also listen out out for modulatiuon effects from the main LFO- in this instance- it's working Voltage Controlled from the Keyboard CV. The frequency of modulation changes as you go up and down the keyboard. This LFO/Modulator has now been re-design to be totally Voltage Controlled if required!"

synSurface 3-OSC FM Synth for iPad

"synSurface is a powerful and easy to use polyphonic synthesizer for the iPad.

A bank of cascaded-triple-oscillator frequency modulation (FM) synthesizers provides a broad palette of sounds from percussion to strings with over 170 million variations.

The keyboard can be scrolled across the full 88 keys of a piano from A0 to C8. You can even change the size of the keys to suit the size of your fingers. The keys are touch sensitive - the harder you tap a key the louder the sound.

The large iPad surface exposes all of the controls without having to use multiple views or dialogs.

Besides the keyboard there are six control bars:

The fundamental oscillator bar controls the synth's amplitude attack and decay, register (octave) shift, and portamento (for "sliding" from note to note).

Two modulator bars control the sound. Each has the following controls: attack, decay, frequency ratio (defines the harmonic frequencies), modulation index (the number of harmonics), and dynamic modulation (how the harmonics change in time).

Keyboard size bar changes the size/number of keys on the keyboard.

Patch bar rotates through 32 preset patches plus 12 of your own custom sounds.

Custom sounds can be created from scratch or modified from existing sounds using the copy and paste bar

As you change from one patch to the next, you can watch the synthesizer's parameter values change on the control bars."

DSI Tempest Sci-Fi Punks!


Published on May 6, 2013 dreamprobe·15 videos

"In this demo I recorded the DSI Tempest 6 individual outputs into the UAD Apollo sound card in one take.
I also routed 2 of the Tempest sounds through some external devices before going to the Apollo (Moog filter, Roland Space Echo, EH Holy Grail & Ibanez TS7).

Reverb, EQ and compressor are from the UAD Apollo and recorded live at the same time. Then afterwards some mixing and mastring in Logic.

Artists & ARTURIA # 22 - Vince Clarke meets MiniBrute

Published on May 6, 2013 Arturiaweb·87 videos

"Check out our exclusive interview with synth legend Vince Clarke at his studio in New-York, talking about MiniBrute, his relation to synths and his up-coming projects."

Update: and the press release:

"Synthpop Svengali Vince Clarke cherishes compact and bijou MiniBrute

“They’re French, but MiniBrute is in English! The MiniBrute features on my new electronic dance music record; I’m using it a lot for basses at the moment, and also for odd squeaky sounds.”
- Vince Clarke, 2013 (Erasure)

GRENOBLE, FRANCE: music software and hardware company Arturia is proud to announce that legendary synthpop Svengali Vince Clarke — musical mastermind behind one of the most successful songwriting duos of all time — has added a MiniBrute Analog Synthesizer to the stunning synth collection currently residing at his Brooklyn-based studio...

Depeche Mode, Yazoo, The Assembly, and Erasure all have two things in common: one, they were founded by Vince Clarke; two, they have all enjoyed catchy Clarke-penned, synth-driven Top Ten hits in the UK and beyond. In a noteworthy career spanning four decades and countless millions of records sold, Clarke has had more hit singles than most of us have had hot dinners, clocking up no fewer than 17 Top Ten entries in the UK with Erasure alone. And let’s not forget five consecutive chart-topping albums — not bad going in the increasingly disposable world of pop, be it synth-driven or otherwise.

Clearly, Clarke knows a thing or two about songwriting, as attested to by being honoured with 2009’s Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Song Collection by BASCA (British Academy of Songwriters, Composers, and Authors). Of course, Clarke can comfortably find his way around a fair number of synths, too, as attested to by the well-earned songwriting success-funded collection of analogue classics currently residing at his NYC studio, recently relocated from a custom-built cabin in rural Maine to inner-city Brooklyn. But this is no millionaire’s museum piece, but rather a unique personal workspace, where each and every awe-inspiring instrument within regularly earns its keep on a variety of musical projects, with Clarke becoming something of a sought-after remixer of late, as well as collaborating with former Depeche Mode bandmate Martin Gore for the first time in 30-odd years as techno-inspired two-piece VCMG.

Yes, Vince Clarke certainly knows a great-sounding synth when he hears one, which is exactly why an Arturia MiniBrute Analog Synthesizer has made the transatlantic crossing to join him in his Brooklyn basement studio: “When I first tried the MiniBrute, the first thing that struck me was the fact that it’s small, so I thought, ‘Excellent! It will fit in my studio!’ The fact that it has MIDI and CV and Gate is pretty cool.”

While Clarke’s trademark British sense of humour shines forth for all to witness from the outset of this investigative pairing, there’s no denying the compact and bijou nature of the musical beast in question. Yet the Musikmesse International Press Award-winning MiniBrute manages to pack a lot of punch into its diminutive 390 x 325 x 70 mm frame. Setting a new standard for what a hardware monosynth should be, its 100 percent analogue audio signal path features an Oscillator Mixer (Sub, Sawtooth, Square, Triangle, White Noise, Audio In) and classic Steiner-Parker Multimode Filter (LP, BP, HP, Notch) approved by Nyle Steiner himself, together with additional analogue innovations: Metalizer (adds complex harmonics to the triangle waveform); Ultrasaw (adds a lively and bright ensemble effect to the Sawtooth waveform); and Brute FactorTM (adds anything from subtle overdrive to wreaking full-blown intermodulation havoc). These flexible features help the MiniBrute make its own distinctive musical mark alongside legendary analogue monosynths like the Minimoog, Sequential Circuits Pro-One, Korg MS-20, and ARP Odyssey — all of which Clarke, coincidentally, owns!

And all of which resonates deeply with this most musical Englishman in New York: “I really like the filter; you can put the resonance on full and get all those Kraftwerky-type sounds. It sounds like a synth with a Decimator or something like that on it! But whatever it does, or however it does it, I think you can get some very vicious sounds. The Brute Factor... that’s brutal!”

One thing’s for sure: present-day developments like the MiniBrute are helping to ensure that hardware synths are likely to remain Clarke’s calling card for the foreseeable future. “I personally think it’s great that all this hardware stuff’s coming out now; it’s what I grew up with,” he says. “I think there’s nothing that can compare to having a hands-on synth with knobs, dials, and sliders. For me, making sounds with a synth is also physical; I can use two hands and don’t have to pre-think or work it all out. So I think this resurgence in physical synths is a really cool thing.”

Never one for resting on his laurels, Clarke recently spread his wings with a couple of low-key DJ dates in Texas. Here, too, the MiniBrute might well be sharing the musical limelight with him in the not too distant future: “Rather than just play records, I’d like to incorporate some of the technology that I have into the shows as well. I could take along a sequencer or a synthesizer and actually mix it into the stuff that I’m playing.”

Compact and bijou... but packing a pure analogue punch wherever it may roam, MiniBrute is the revolutionary new analogue synthesizer from Arturia. Available now from a dealer near you..."
