Novation Peak Tutorial - Karplus Strong Synthesis (Advanced Sound Design)

Limbic Bits

"In this Novation Peak Tutorial you'll learn how to fake Karplus Strong Synthesis with Novation Peak and Summit.
Unfortunately, there's a glide created by the delay when switching between different delay times. But nonetheless it's still a fantastic source for more experimental physical modelling patches."

"A somewhat spooky, sinister, and heavy Novation Circuit electro meets darksynth jam, made with the pack 'A Force Truly Evil' by Yves Big City and A Force Truly Evil."

"Melanchaotic" - Playing sweet-chaos with OP-Z & minilogue xd

Lo-fi Pask

"Life has changed. I didn't play for a long time, and this is what I feel to express.
I sequenced piano lead, arp, etc on Teenage Engineering OP-Z, then addes some "chaos" with KORG minilogue xd. Wish you'll appreciate it."

Cymatic Form Introduces Acousmatic Engine

Cymatic From

"Moulding conceptual sampling and synthesis into rich thematic instruments, embracing Sci-Fi Noir, Lovecraftian Horror and Steampunk. With its unique sonic lusters and synesthetic character, Acousmatic Engine offers an imaginative and inspiring pallet of color, tone and texture across music and film genres."

via Cymatic Form

"Introducing Acousmatic Engine from the creator of Kinetic Metal and Kinetic Toys.

Probing the uncharted realms of Sci-Fi Noir, Lovecraftian Horror and Steampunk sound worlds with 500 surreal and thematic Kontakt Instruments. Acousmatic Engine is a distinct library of sample instruments with unique sonic lusters, articulations and textures that shape concept and sound design into playable instruments and soundscapes across music and film genres.

Within the 3 stylistic themes (Sci-Fi Noir, Lovecraftian Horror and Steampunk), Acousmatic Engine offers 5 instrument types:

Aerophones: Wind instruments and anything that vibrates with air pressure.
Friction: Anything that acts as resistance of one object or instrument moving over another to produce sound. Bowing, scraping, even pad-like sounds, etc.
Struck: Instruments that are percussive such as bells, pianos or anything that is struck to produce sound or noise.
Soundscapes: Sounds that may or may not be tonal and give a sense of environment or mood.
Machines/Movements: Arpeggiator and sequenced driven patterns or other movements.

Expert Mode:

Explore deeper into the interface to manipulate sounds and create your own imaginative presets. Each instrument offers 8 channels of unconventionally sourced, dynamically layered samples plus 8 channels of multi-dimensional sampled synthesis. There are 3 pages of effects including Shape, Color and Ambience. Quickly and easily sweep through combined effects such as Spectral Filters, Distortion, Modulation and Spatial parameters using the visual XY Effector display.

Interface:

6 Macros allow you to assign any parameter for individual preference for finely tuned performance control. The Warp Wheel (the heart of Acousmatic Engine), allows you to store 3 variations of each instrument and record automation of movements transitioning effortlessly into new sonic dimensions. These variations greatly expanding the sonic depths of each sound, allowing them to breathe and come alive."

Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent) Plasmonic Synth Cover

Anthony Distefano

"Trying out Brian Eno's - An Ending (Ascent) using Brian Clevinger's new Plasmonic synth."

Some info on Plasmonic from their Indiegogo page:

"Plasmonic combines the resonant depth of physical modeling with subtractive synthesis. My goal is for Plasmonic to approach the depth and detail of an acoustic instrument, while making it easy to shape the sound into anything you want. Its deep modulation capability and MPE support make it very playable and expressive.

The heart of Plasmonic is a self-oscillating waveguide/multimode ladder filter pair, which can be configured in parallel or in series. Each filter can take any combination of the audio sources as input. This creates some very interesting sonic interactions between the audio source and the feedback loop of the waveguide.

Audio sources include two wavetable oscillators, a sample-based impulse generator (built-in samples only), and a filtered noise generator. Both oscillators have waveform transformations which nicely complement the waveguide. The impulse generator is especially suited for making the waveguide ring.

The master section contains a 3-band EQ, a saturator which can be polyphonic or monophonic, modulated delay effects and a final resonator effect. Like the waveguide, the delay effects are capable of self-oscillation, which can lead to all kinds of sonic mayhem.

Modulation is deep and makes it easy to add detail and life to the sound. Each parameter has a popup panel displaying the depth, polarity and inversion of each modulation source, allowing unprecedented control. Currently there are 5 ADSR envelopes, 3 LFOs, a triggered random source, as well as midi control inputs. Development of the modulation section is evolving rapidly, and I intend to make it as fun and flexible as possible."

Sequential Circuits Prophet T8 Synthesizer SN 000234 Owned by Original Designer of the T8 Steve Salani ?

Clives Synth Channel

Note this video is from Aug 1, 2015. Not sure if it's the exact same one in the listing below but it was included with the pics.

"Just a quick run through of sounds (mostly created by me) on my T8. Sorry no speaking, or maybe that's a blessing? Rig is T8 mono out into summing amp then into Mac linein, recorded on Quick Time. If I was speaking, I'd be making the point that the T8 does sound fat and lovely - almost all the sounds in the demo are Single (and therefore 8 note poly). I'd also make the point that the expressiveness of the keyboard makes it quite an exceptional synth. First sound is left bank 77. After that Right bank 37, then it just works through right bank starting at 12 and ascending mostly sequentially. You'll notice a couple of sections in the vid where I obviously demo the aftertouch and show 2 keys (both Cs) that are a bit dysfunctional. You'll notice they require a bit of extra pressure and accuracy to play. Recording is completely dry, so a bit exacting on the keyboard technique, especially as I'm kneeling down playing this! Anyway, hope it gives an idea of how good a T8 really sounds and how versatile it is."

"The Prophet T8 is a legendary polyphonic analog synthesizer. It's widely considered the greatest instrument ever produced by Sequential, and "one of the best built analog synthesizers of all time."

This unit is especially unique, as it is the personal instrument of Steve Salani, the original hardware designer of the T8! This is your opportunity to own one of the rarest and most historic electronic keyboards of the 20th century.

The 76-note wooden keyboard action resembles that of a fine crafted acoustic piano, and offers adjustable velocity and polyphonic pressure sensitivity that captures every nuance of your performance.

The 8-voice Prophet T8 offers four keyboard modes: single, double, unison, or split. The instrument retains the characteristic sound of the famous Prophet 5, and includes 128 patches that feature dynamic response to velocity and pressure.

Each voice consists of two oscillators, a filter, VCA, noise source, and two ADSR envelopes. The versatile polyphonic modulation features expand the sonic capabilities of the instrument. There's even a built-in sequencer with variable playback speed!

This instrument has been safely stored in a smoke-free studio and is in excellent condition. It is configured for operation on 110V power. It will ship inside a high-quality A&S padded road case (see photos) and includes a power cord (the keyboard stand is not included). The instrument is still supported by winecountrysequential.com, who sell manuals, documentation, and some parts."

"professionally gligli modded. All switches, knob, keys work, and were recelty cleaned and properly lubricated and feel great. Audio out is clean and strong. Has lower noisefloor than a bunch of modern gear. Small ding in one wooden ear but othwrwise in great cosmetic condition. All 6 voices work and keep tune. All membrane buttons are responsive. And the LED js bright and clear for its age. Everything appears to work as it should and patches sound great. Overall great condition."
