Making the Most of Sampler Memory (ft. the Novation Circuit)

Red Means Recording

"Limited sample memory can be a drag, but there's a trick that can help. Resample your samples at higher speed and pitch before importing them, then slow them down in the sampler. I'll show you how in this video."

Mew

Mew from Emily Groves on Vimeo.

"Mew is an interactive sound piece. As you walk towards the curious and gawkish object, it begins to emit a soft purring sound. If you stroke the fur, it will emit distorted meow sounds that are manipulated by the direction your hand moves. Pushing on the object will also alter the sounds, but pressing too hard will make Mew hiss.

Mew was part of a collaborative sound object project between Design Products, Information Experience Design and Visual Communication students at the RCA, London.

Sensors and sounds were programmed with Arduino and Max MSP."

A bit like a cat Tannerin or theremin.

Korg Polysix Analog Synthesizer Demo

Pure Ambient Drone

"Korg Polysix sound demo. This is an uncut sound demo of the Korg Polysix analog synthesizer. I did a video similar to this one before but it was edited. I thought it would be nice to show the whole thing. Just playing around on the Polysix, nothing special but its a nice sounding machine for sure! I don't think the Polysix vst really compares to this incredible vco synth. JMHO"

Free Synsonics Drums Emulation (Digital Systemic)

Valmont / Mooggy

"Yay I'm back with a new freeware! :D
The Synsonics was launched by Mattel in 1981 as a really low cost alternative to Simmons or MPC Electronics (Before Akai bought them in 84')
It provides 5 sounds: 2 toms, a snare, a cymbal (Close/Open) and a metronome click.
Legends say Kraftwerk used one, but no one knows how, or on which album!
But anyway, loads of musicians used it as a real instrument despite the fact Mattel was often associated with kids toys.
On the actual machine, none of the sounds are editable and the background noise is so important the Synsonics is hard to record.
That's why I decided to develop this small program :D
The free version contains 2 toms, the snare and the cymbals but not the metronome click.
All the sounds are still editable and automatable.

"Really beautiful, vintage analog synthesizer - this is THE Tangerine Dream sound! The oscillators and filters are simply fantastic. Comes with lid.

The preset buttons need to get cleaned as they take a little extra pressing to work sometimes, but I've always just left it on "Control" as you can achieve all the same sounds through the panel. Also, the "Soft" filter knob shuts off four notes when turned all the way clockwise (G-Bb in the third full octave). Otherwise, all the knobs and sliders function great!"
