EG WaveSHAPER is the first synthesizer that lets you create your sound with a finger.

Draw the waveform on the screen or shape a builtin one, mix it with a classic analog oscillator and a sub oscillator and automate all the knobs with 2 drawable LFOs and 2 ENVs

HYBRID WAVESHAPING ENGINE
'Waveshaping is a synthesis-and-transformation technique that turns simple sounds into complex sounds'

2 wavetables can be designed and morphed to create unique and dynamic sounds under your finger, choosing the morph attack and release; complex spectra can be created waveshaping the oscillator and introducing non linear distortion, rich harmonics and a tube-vacuum behaviour.
The hybrid Waveshaping/Wavetable engine lets you combine a wavetable oscillator with a classic oscillator and a sub oscillator, to add additional sound layers and depth.

LFOs & ENVs
2 Lfo and 2 Envelopes with indipendent time can be assigned to virtually any of the synth parameters. They can also be graphically designed with the touch of your finger or you can choose among the builtin envelopes.

OTHER FEATURES
- Hybrid Wavetable/Waveshaping engine
- Draw your wavetable oscillator with your finger
- 100+ builin presets
- 30+ builtin waveforms to use and modify
- 2 LFOs and 2 ENVs assignable to any parameter
- FX: Reverb, Delay and EG Crush
- Detune osc to create huge unison sounds
- FM and Noise with configurble FM Ratio and Noise eq
- VCF and Reso filters
- Complete presets management with export and share
- Core MIDI: MIDI in, MIDI CC, MIDI poly aftertouch
- AU3 with full knobs parameters automation
- Universal for iPad & iPhone"

Moog One Fan noise and startup time at power-on

電源投入直後は小型ドローン並みの騒音。13秒後ファンコントロールが動き出すとほぼ無音になります。(Firmware 1.0.2)

起動時間は50秒でした。"

Analogue Solutions Generator - 2 Generators plus a load of wires = AWESOME!


Published on Dec 18, 2018 Sounds From The Shed

"In this video I patched together 2 Generators to a single Polymath, Generator 1 is playing an Arp, Gen 2 some accompaniment. Each is providing their own different modulation. I can transpose Generator 1 from Generator 2 and visa versa. This gives a 32 step loop which can be auto and live transposed. Sounds mean!!!! :)"

YuSynth VCS3 Filter in Eurorack Format


Published on Dec 18, 2018 Randy Piscione

"This is a demo of a Eurorack version of the YuSynth VCS3 diode voltage controlled filter (VCF). It's a bit long, 6 minutes, but I tried to cover most of what it would do. There's no talking! I don't have a VCS3 to compare this too so I'm not sure if it really sounds like it's namesake filter, but it's still cool either way.

I start off with the usual frequency and resonance demo with one VCO input. At 2:00, another VCO is added. Around 3:00, some frequency modulation, 3:30, resonance modulation, at 4:30, both modulations and we see what it does with something closer to audio rates for modulation.

Other modules featured off-stage include a PM Foundations Synthola Sequencer and two Frequency Central Waverrunner LFOs."

BALORAN THE RIVER. 8 voices analog synth monster... at home!


Published on Dec 18, 2018

"I was lucky enough to welcome Laurent Baloran, creator of the analog synthesizer "The River", who brought a unit home.

We had a great time with Laurent and other friends. 'The River' is an exceptional synth and I am very grateful to have been able to try it at home! It pairs very well with the Waldorf Quantum by the way :) Analog warmth with Digital coldness = instant pleasure!"

New Propellerhead Complex-1 Modular Synthesizer for Reason


Published on Dec 18, 2018 Propellerhead


"Complex-1 is a modular synthesizer from Propellerhead Software, bringing the quirks, freedom and sonic depth of modular synthesis to to your Reason Rack. Boasting a 4x oversampled synthesis engine, a freely routable signal and modulation path and a sound like nothing else, Complex-1 is a synth lover’s dream machine.

If you’re a seasoned modular synth enthusiast, you can dive right in. If this kind synth is new to you, it can look a bit daunting, but it’s actually surprisingly easy to get going. Load up any of the included patches to get you going, and start your sonic exploration there. Nothing can break, and if things go weird (like, in a bad way), there’s the undo button to your rescue.

Most people associate modular synths with lab coats and glitchy noise soundscapes, but if all you want is a beefy bass - let Complex-1 surprise you. Its modular madness aside, it’s also a really awesome-sounding synthesizer, capable of perfectly playable instrument sounds and yes, beefy basses too.

The modules in Complex-1 bring a mix of modular synth ideologies to the Reason Rack. The Complex Oscillator, Low Pass Gates and Shaper modules, build on the works on Don Buchla (or West Coast style) and the regular Oscillator and ladder design Filter module, derive more from the Bob Moog school of synth design. Combine them anyway you like and craft your very own unique synth sounds.

Roland JD-800 Digital Synthesizer (1991) Calm Night - 90s soundtrack music


Published on Dec 18, 2018 RetroSound

"(c) 2018 vintage #synthesizer demo track by RetroSound

all synthesizer sounds: #Roland #JD800 Digital Synthesizer (1991)
drums: LinnDrum (1982)
recording: multi-tracking recording, played by hand

For me one of the best Digital Synthesizers ever. The sound is different to the later JV series and also a bit different to the rack module JD-990.
Vangelis used this synth a lot on the album "Conquest Of Paradise" "

"Space Colony" (Roland S-50 and TR-909)


Published on Dec 17, 2018 SynthMania

"An early 1990s Techno-Rave piece in the vein of when I used to play back in those days. Roland S-50 sampler, Roland TR-909 drum machine, typical setup of the era, and sequencing done in Cubase DAW. All the samples come from my sample CDs that I bought back then, then manipulated with FX in Cubase. Song title by my son Vincent."
