Continuing on Wide Blue Sound's rich history of kicking asteroids, Elysium
raises the bar for musical movement.
Introducing ELYSIUM, an inspiring two-layer synth for creating music with
spectacular tonal rhythms, movement and unrivaled playability.
With an entirely new way to create striking percussive pulses, beautiful organic
arpeggios, and evolving pads, Elysium simply cannot be replicated by any other
synth on the market.
Some of the biggest synths end up being preset synths, with features built for
the patch designers instead of the users. Elysium is different.
With dozens of macro knobs, generators and fun ways to create movement, even
your most simple patches sound more lively in Elysium than they would anywhere
else. Elysium's groundbreaking, critically-acclaimed UI was designed to give you
the most power and flexibility possible with the least amount of resistance.
After years of rigorous design, Elysium skillfully combines live+hybrid
instruments with the most iconic synths of all time. We sampled some of the most
sought-after sounds for both producers and composers, such as Gamelans, pianos,
mallets, a beautiful string section recorded at a church in New York, and much
more.
Run hundreds of iconic synths through the morphing Flow Engine and find yourself
lost in mesmerizing pulses, sweet leads, and meditative pads."
"Rapper @LORD APEX and visual artist Delphino first collaborated in college. Years later, their creative synergy is unbreakable.
Rising rapper Lord Apex performs ‘Miyagi Blueprint’ (produced by V.Don) with Launchpad X, joined by new visuals from longtime collaborator Delphino Productions. Sacred geometry and spiritual elements blend with Apex’s characteristic demeanour, to form a melancholic vision that Delphino says 'comes from a place of love'.
Launchpad and Launchkey have always been about expression. Whether you’re a keys player, a rapper, or a producer, collaboration is at the heart of the experience. We’ve teamed up with up some incredible artists, each with a different visual collaborator, to bring you four-part, weekly series of videos and interviews that shows Launchpad and Launchkey like you've never seen them before.
"A quick demo of ArpBud, but really it was just an excuse for me put together the core of a new arpeggio-based tune. ArpBud has Tal-U-No-LX playing a semi-ratcheted arpeggio with echoes created by a Nembrini Delay. Then Redshrike screams its feedback-y heart out. Still needs a rich pad of some sort, and perhaps a thundering bass as well. Maybe throw in a Mellotron or organ as well. My prog roots run deep, I suppose.
AUM Tal-U-No-LX Nembrini Delay ArpBud Redshrike
Also, this was played, recorded, edited, and uploaded to YouTube entirely on an iPad Pro.
Wanted to mention that the video editing was done in LumaFusion. Note that I bought the app yesterday and from never touching it before I went to an almost finished video in about three hours. An excellent video app. The "almost" bit is because I had to spend some additional time to figure out how to do scrolling credits. Not difficult but a somewhat odd and interesting technique, which I'm glad I now know how to do.
"Artist and musician Emily A. Sprague creates a calming multi-sensory experience set to the ambient sounds of an original arrangement crafted with the Moog One polyphonic synthesizer.
'Chasing Light' is a short film inspired by the beauty of nature and the joy of connecting with one’s surroundings through sight and sound. To accompany Emily's dreamy soundscapes, this piece (shot primarily with Super 8mm film) takes you inside the artist’s world—her home, the ocean, the mountains. It represents a day in the life of Emily, as she shared her favorite places with us, capturing them through the lens of a camera the same way we captured her adventure.
As visuals change throughout, the synthesizer arrangement morphs to bring viewers and listeners feelings of peace and comfort.

"Reach the peaks of alien soundscapes with your Eurorack as mission control
Bastl Instruments is very proud to announce its latest collaboration with Casperelectronics – the Eurorack stereo filter Ikarie which is robust in features yet physically compact.
Ikarie is a uniquely sculpted, flexible stereo or dual peak filter module. It can continuously transition between lowpass and highpass filtering with a single knob. It also packs in an envelope follower for the incoming audio signal, which comes in handy when you're looking to increase your sound's internal animation.
Two parallel filter cores can be modulated in sync for work in the stereo realm, set apart for unique stereo effects (with either mono or stereo signal at the base), or chained together to make a 24 dB filter.
With only the mono output of the filter used, Ikarie behaves as a dual peak filter, which evokes formant-type sounds and rich, at will piercing, throaty resonance. The Beyond output gives you the spectral difference of the two filters, effectively turning the unit into a so-called twin peak filter.
Add an internal VCA, CV control over panning and resonance, optional overdrive of the input, and you can explore a vast universe of sound design possibilities, from liquidy through pinged percussive to lush and eerie. All in a very compact form factor, with tons of space for precision and creativity.
This module results from a collaboration between Václav Peloušek of Bastl Instruments and Peter Edwards of Casperelectronics. While Edwards' obsessive attention to detail gave this filter a uniquely balanced resonance and envelope response, the expertise of Peloušek delivered a one-hand user experience filter with a distinctive control scheme at a minimal footprint.
The module's name alludes to the 1963 Czech sci-fi movie Ikarie XB-1 (released as Voyage to the End of the Universe in the US), and the film served as the module's inspiration in many aspects. Long before Solaris, Space Odyssey 2001, or Star Wars, Ikarie focused on the subject of space exploration, and it paved the way for many to come. With its early electronic sound design and musical experimentation under the lead of Zdeněk Liška, immersive cinematography, and impressive production level, it remains one of the most original and exciting film titles in the science fiction genre. Bastl & Casper's Ikarie proudly carries the flag of this cinematic world.
Ikarie will be available on November 12th, through noise.kitchen and synth stores worldwide for MSRP 240 EUR without VAT.

"Nice thick string sound from the Sequential Prophet 6 synthesizer recorded direct to the Zoom Q3HD. Original tune & performance by Bob Gomez.
Seems it has been about 13 years since the the Prophet 08 revived the Prophet name."
