Cosm iOS ambient soundscape meditative generative music app demo by Roikat

Published on Jun 8, 2019 Roikat

"A demo of the Cosm ambient music app for iOS from Studio Amplify (aka SoundMind.) Their marketing angle is "improving mental health using sound", but since I'm an Extremely Stable Genius, I'll be using this to generate ambient soundscapes for further processing in other apps or electronic music hardware.

"Got hold of a VC340, Djm-900nxs2 and CDJ-2000NXS2 so put together this song. Long one as I'm new fangled with the toys and got carried away. Havent used a CDJ player and mixer before so I may have gone OTT with the FX etc. Novelty Value 🤣"

Roland System 500 versus vintage System 100m and SH-5 Synthesizers

Published on Jun 7, 2019 Alex Ball

"I’ve been leant a Roland System 500 for a video and so the first thing I wanted to try with it was a side-by-side with the System 100m (1978) and SH-5 (1976) as these are two of the heritage synths that inspired it.

The third synth it’s based on is the System 700, but I’m sure you can forgive me for not getting that one in there too!

All-in-all I think the System 500 is excellent, has the Roland family sound and stands up well against the classics that inspired it. Trying to be as impartial as possible, there are a couple of comments I had about it that could be improved which I also mention, but I genuinely think it’s a great sounding and accessible modular synth.

Let me know what you think about it."

Matrixbrute & Rucci Drone: Arabic/Persian ("منطق الطیر")

Published on Jun 7, 2019 Kris Lennox

"Matrixbrute & Rucci Maximal Drone. Improvisation in the Persian style. Rucci Drone is ran through the MB filters. Sounds good. I'd love to do a synth concert with a mix of Gregorian chant, & Arabic improvisations. Could be fun.

I edited this version so the video began near the entrance of the melody. Slightly longer version on Soundcloud at the following link - https://soundcloud.com/user-736798162...

RE Persian music/art: if unfamiliar, possibly the Persian equivalent of Dante's Inferno (in terms of cultural significance) is Farid Attar's 'Conference of the Birds'. Great book, well worth a read.

Best

Zoom MultiStomp + Sawtooth Wave = A Whole Synth?!

Published on Jun 7, 2019 Oscillator Sink

"Although it lost out to the Digitech Polara in my recent reverb shoot-out, the Zoom MS-70CDR's real strength comes from the fact that it's a "multi-effect" in the true sense of the term: you can run multiple different effect algorithms at the same time.

So bearing this fact in mind, and adding to that the wide range of effects it has on offer, I got to thinking: given only the most basic input of a raw sawtooth wave, could you build the rest of a synth using just the Zoom?.."
