Electromotive - The Story of ARP Instruments

Published on Apr 11, 2020 Alex Ball

"Electromotive: The Story of ARP Instruments

Electromotive is the definitive documentary charting the rise and demise of one of the world’s most influential and pioneering synth companies. It dives deep into the world of ARP and their instruments, with fascinating insights from those involved, copious amounts of previously undocumented information, and then debunks many myths. A triumph, a true labour of love and essential viewing for any synth nerd.

This was a project that started in the spring of 2019 when I was loaned an ARP 2600. I knew little of the ARP story at the time, but having an amazing instrument to play with piqued my interest. Aware that Alan R Pearlman had passed only a couple of months earlier, I started looking into the articles and history and speaking to a couple of people about it on email. The way things unfolded from there is an entire story unto itself that I’ll probably tell in another video, but suffice to say I was staggered by the generosity, passion and kindness of countless people whose help meant that we were able to feature an amazing array of original instruments and interview many of the original people who were there (on and off camera).

Every single person who contributed to this film did it gratis so that you can enjoy this story free and without even having to sit through a single advert. Isn't that amazing?!

Dina Pearlman has been absolutely crucial to this project and has been industrious in opening doors for me this past year, to the point that we’ve joked she’s the patch chords between the modules. 

Roland JD-990 "Vintage Soul" 64 Presets by Chronos

Published on Apr 11, 2020 LFOstore

"#roland #jd990 #patches
The legendary Roland JD-990 synthesizer is back with its 27th birthday!

Buy soundset: https://sellfy.com/p/bsr4kq/

Back to 1993 JD was one of the most powerful digital modules with its flexible engine &
beautiful sound combined with great set of effects & drums.

Why its so cool?

Cause besides pianos, bells, cowbells & cheesy accordions presets - its capable to create great analog sounds, deepest ambient textures, great moving sequences.

Its like a hardware “Omnisphere” synth with huge effort.

So – what was our first desire when we get our black box?

To create our own soundset for the legend with modern approach ofcourse!

By Nick Klimenko aka Chronos, a creator of "Organica" for Waldorf Blofeld & "WS Universe" for Korg Wavestation.

"Vintage Soul Soundset" contains 64 modern & classic patches:
* Deepest ambient pads, space drones & tonal soundscapes
* Vintage analog-like basses & leads & strings
* Beautiful bells, plucks & rhytmic structures
* Classic re-creations: CS-80,Jupiter,Juno,Jx series.

Enjoy the sounds and rediscover your JD module with our soundset!

Our video demo shows almost half presets from soundset combined with beautiful nature, so take your time, breathing slowly, take your hands out of rewind button ;-)

p.s. NO EXPANSION NEEDED FOR THIS SET."

Glitch Drums Jamming With Bass Station 2 AFX Mode

Published on Apr 11, 2020 Perplex On

"So much fun with BS2 and its #AFX mode. All sounds are coming directly from the #BassStation2 using its internal sequencer and heavy live tweaking of various parameters. Just added a little ambient drone afterwards using #Mononoke synth on the iPad."

"Creating, editing and playing sample chops is quick and easy on Gotharman's Little deFormer 3 groove box!

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥

TIMECODES:
0:14 Sampling external audio
1:58 Adding start, end and chop points with the graphical waveform editor
4:53 Adding chops automatically
8:18 Sequencing sample chops via the keyboard
9:26 Deforming sequenced sample chops
11:45 A little jam

Sample chopping is an important basic feature of any sampling groovebox, dating back to the classic Akai MPC, the Korg Electribe boxes and more recent devices like the Elektron Octatrack. Gotharman's Little deFormer 3 offers you three different ways to chop up your audio: manually with a graphical waveform editor, manually in real time and automatically. Chops can then be sequenced like any other sample and even mapped to the keyboard keys for quick and easy jumping between markers.

Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 Rev 3.2 - Sounds & Presets | Synth HQ DEMO & TUTORIAL

Published on Apr 11, 2020 Andy Whitmore

"Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 Rev 3.2 - Sounds & Presets | Synth HQ DEMO & TUTORIAL

Video demo of the Sequential Circuits Prophet-5, a classic analog polyphonic synthesizer.

Today we show some of the famous sound of the Prophet 5. Demo of our Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Rev 3.2 Polyphonic Synthesizer In a lot of ways this needs no introduction. One of the most iconic poly synths ever made, and the first synth to offer true programmability with polyphonic architecture.

The Prophet 5 offers your basic amenities in a poly synth with 5 voices each with 2 VCO's, a low pass VCF, a VCA, two EG's, one LFO with multiple wave shapes available, with POLY MOD as the icing on the cake. This lets you make FM type sounds and is part of what makes the prophet 5 unique.

All music improvised for this demo is either live or running at 120bpm. The music is copyright free. My credit would be appreciated if used on your track!

Andy Whitmore started life as a top session keyboard player playing on over 50 hit records before turning his hand to music production. He went on to produce 14 top ten hits. He is a pro when it comes to synthesizers, and here explores the Prophet 5 as part of a brand new series.
One of the most iconic synthesizers ever, Andy’s experience with this classic dates back to the mid-‘90s, and he discusses the basics in his exploration of what makes the Prophet so great.
