The precursor to the K5000S and K5000W Additive synths. The S has the extra knobs, but I hear the K5 has a more powerful (editable?) engine.

IKM UNO Synth Jam Session │ Tweaking it Good - haQ attaQ

Published on Jul 20, 2018 Jakob Haq

"FeDex dropped off my New UNO synth by IK Multimedia a few hours ago and I'm already loving it! It has great sounding filters with a gritty drive that makes bass sound gnarly as f*ck! This is just a quick jam session and I'll need a couple of weeks to get to know the UNO before I make a deep and proper haQ attaQ review. Stay tuned!"

WORNG Electronics - Vector Space (3 in 17 out cv/audio wizardry!)

Published on Jul 20, 2018 DivKidVideo

"TIMING INDEX / LINKS BELOW! - Following on from my video with the lovely little LRMSMSLR from WORNG Electronics is the Vector Space. Vector Space is a 3 input 17 output CV and audio wizardry machine! Well ... cutting the wizard and magic references it takes 3 inputs and places them around cubes, spheres and on various planes giving us 17 related (but all different) versions of the 3 inputs. There's rectification, phase inversions, offsets, attenuation all playing into giving all these different signals. It's great with LFOs and envelopes, random or even audio. So here's a walkthrough and various patches to show what's going on.

Check out the module and great manual here - https://www.worngelectronics.com

TIMING INDEX

00:00 Hello and previews of what's to come

00:49 Walkthrough, manual, what is this thing!?! Spheres, planes and cube outputs

03:31 A new track from me! Here's a patch I'm working on as a new track (to be released later). Here the Vector Space controls percussion, modulation, sequencing ... LITERALLY EVERYTHING! Really nice letting 3 inputs on this influence a whole patch and piece of music.

05:13 Random Voltages - using 3 stepped random voltages into the inputs into quantisers to get 3 voice polyphonic modular. The advantage here is I can process these voltages differently by taking different outputs and also use other outputs for related modulation.

07:23 Ultimate LFO Logic - this is a patch from the manual. Using 3 LFOs to create lots of unique outputs. This serves as a demo as to what actually happens to the signals using different outputs to show the rectification (LFOs are twice as fast), the offsets, inversions etc.

10:20 3D Vector Synthesis Patch - again another patch from the manual that is a riff on the Sequential (thanks Chris Meyer!) Vector Synthesis. Using external VCAs with different sounds and letting the various outputs open and close these for Vector Synthesis and blends/morphs between various tones and sounds.

12:37 Timbral Garden - you guessed it ... another patch from the manual. Here I take 3 triangle oscillator waves into the inputs tuned to a root, third and fifth in a chord. I'm exploring using the different outputs for different tones. You can clearly here how different outputs emphasis different harmonics in the sounds and some give a nice clipped octave up like effect too."

Korg MonoPoly - This is where the magic happens - Free samples included

Published on Jul 20, 2018 Espen Kraft

"The Korg MonoPoly from 1981. One of the truly unique synths of the early 80s.
The track in this video is made from sounds only from the MonoPoly (except the kickdrum) and multitracked to show off some of its features."

"I have included some samples from this session. If you follow this link you can download them for free:

Elastic FX & AudioKit Synth One Audiobus session (Update 1.1.4 preview)

Published on Jul 20, 2018 Oliver Greschke

"I am showcasing some of the lovely AudioKit Synth One presets together with Elastic FX in this video. The effects of EFX are synced to the (arpeggiator) tempo of Synth One via Ableton Link. You also see the new visual Follower / Tail effect of Elastic FX in this video, that will come with update 1.1.4.

EFX is a 4 channel multi-effects processor that’s easy and intuitive to play, but also offers complex options to shape your sound and route the audio effects stream."
