NAMM 2020 - Sequential Pro 3 Synthesizer

Published on Jan 17, 2020 Kraft Music

"Find exclusive Sequential Pro 3 BUNDLES at Kraft Music.

The man himself, Dave Smith takes us on a personal tour of the Sequential Pro 3 at the 2020 NAMM Show.

The Sequential Pro 3 mono/paraphonic synthesizer offers a hybrid of solid, old-school analog synthesis paired with versatile digital technology. Two voltage controlled oscillators provide warmth and presence while its third wavetable oscillator provides digital edge and grit. Filters are a 4-pole low-pass design based on the Prophet-6, a transistor ladder filter with optional resonance compensation, and a 2-pole, state-variable design based on the OB-6. With additional features including a 16-track sequencer, multimode arpeggiator, dual digital effects, analog distortion, extensive modulation possibilities, and control voltage ins and outs, Pro 3 offers impressive sonic power and versatility.

The Pro 3 SE is a special edition version that puts the same synthesis power into a collector-worthy design with a tilt-up control panel and premium-grade walnut trim.

NAMM 2020: Nord Wave 2 Sounds

Published on Jan 17, 2020 Perfect Circuit

"Nord's Wave 2 is an update of one of their most interesting instruments, providing deep options for layering diverse ranges of sound.

The Wave 2 can produce up to four layers (timbres) at once, each with independent selection of sound production method. The included sound engines provide access to virtual analog synthesis, FM, wavetable synthesis, and sample playback...meaning that the Wave 2 can sound like basically anything you want. Create complex splits and layers, and morph multiple parameter values in real time: the Wave 2 is a sound designer's dream.

Perhaps most interestingly, Wave 2's sample engine supports the use of user
samples via Nord's Sample Editor 3 software. You can either assign specific
samples to specific keys or use samples across entire stretches of the keyboard—meaning that you can create Mellotron-like playback from any sound, or construct unique kits of sound effects. With every sound in the world within reach, the Wave 2 is one of the most interesting keyboards at the NAMM show this year.

Nord Wave 2 available here"

NAMM 2020: Playtime Engineering BlipBlox After Dark Sounds

Published on Jan 17, 2020 Perfect Circuit

"Playtime Engineering's Blipblox After Dark is a revised and repackaged version of their Blipblox synthesizer, turning a toy into a tool for serious sonic exploration and production.

Introduced last year, the Playtime Engineering Blipblox is a synthesizer designed to be safe and fun for young children. Playtime Engineering no doubt noticed, though, that the device kept finding its way into the hands of adults: so they created Blipblox After Dark, which dispenses of the original's cryptic labeling and adds extra features that turn it into a considerably more useful tool for musicians of all ages.

The advanced multimode filter, multi-tap stereo delay, 256 custom wavetables, and considerably expanded drum tone palette open the Blipblox to a considerably broader range of musical contexts than previously possible—and don't fret, it's still fun for kids as well!

Playtime Engineering gear available here"

NAMM 2020: Verbos Electronics New Modules Sounds

Published on Jan 17, 2020 Perfect Circuit

"Verbos Electronics brought three new modules to the NAMM show this year, including a new oscillator, filter/amplifier, and filterbank/noise source.

The Verbos Foundation Oscillator is inspired by the Music Easel's Complex Oscillator, providing both fixed outputs and outputs which can continuously fade between sine and more complex shapes (including the famous spike wave). It also adds a "richness" parameter, which provides an edgy tone not unlike the sounds of hard sync sweeps.

The new Amp and Tone Controller is a smaller version of their prior Amp & Tone, providing everything from lowpass gates to much grittier overdriven filter tones. The Noise and Filter module offers white noise and a four-band fixed filterbank, great for sculpting percussive sounds and dividing sounds into multiple spectral regions.

Foundation Oscillator available here"

Patch of the Week 41: ARP 2600 – Destructive Feedback Loop

Published on Jan 17, 2020 Korg

"The 2600 is well known for its pre-amp which can be used to bring external sounds into the synth. But what happens if we patch the output of the VCA back into its pre-amp for overdrive?"
