Living Room Concerts: Buchla Modular System Duo | Sarah Belle Reid and Ryan Gaston

video by Sarah Belle Reid

"The second video in a series of informal living room concerts, put on by Sarah Belle Reid and Ryan Gaston. In this concert we are improvising on two Buchla systems: a 200-series clone modular synthesizer, and a mixed system featuring a 208 clone and 223e Tactile Input Port."

Modal ARGON8X Digital Dream Wavetable Digital Synthesizer Rik Marston

video by Rik Marston Official

"Perfect Wavetable synthesizer power!
The Modal Electronics ARGON8X is very cool indeed!

This quick demo of a digital PAD shows it can do BEAUTIFUL!

This synthesizer is a BLAST to use & record with, great value!
Special shout out to ROB for letting me demo his synthesizer!"

Record 17 tracks from op-z / ipad headphone trick / multiple input / output audio

op-z into ipad usbc and headphones video by michael nervous

This tip is in via michael nervous.

"Normally when you use the usb-c cable from the op-z to the ipad it will recognise the op-z as an audio interface for in and out. if you plug your headphones in after the ipad recognizes the op-z it will keep the op-z as an audio interface for input and use the headphone as the output. If you close the app you will have to unplug your headphones and plug back in.

In this video I show how to 'trick' the ipad into using a separate output from the audio device in and out of the op-z. Using a usb hub and plugging in the headphones after the apps are open the ipad recognises the different output.

Also recording all 16 midi tracks into separate tracks on the ipad while recording the stereo audio input while monitoring headphones and screen recording the audio/video.

Also showing the new video portion of the photmatic motion track, Screen recording.

This video was a proof of concept and I can do more tests and make a better video if there is a need for it.

I made the video just after the OP-Z update to photmatic and just forgot to upload because.....both the afx station and blackbox showed up within days of each other."

"Synthetic Sound Labs Serge Triple Waveshaper // Review // Patch Examples // Tips

In this video I explore the Synthetic Sound Labs Serge Triple Waveshaper - Model 1050. I’ve also included examples, patch tutorials and tips about how I use the module. This is a deceptively simple module can enhance any system by expanding the tonal capabilities of the modules owned and the sounds I produced.

I've only begun to discover the possibilities of this Waveshaper. If you own one and have any additional insight please leave tips and suggestions in the comments."

Teensy Gurdy Synthesizer Demo

video by BanjoMasterPete

"A demonstration of the capabilities of my latest project which is based on the working principles of a hurdy gurdy. 12 strings (9 momentary, 3 latching) are activated by touching their corresponding touch plate and tuned using the knobs above them. These strings are mixed into a master filter where the rotational speed of the encoder crank controls the cutoff frequency. Additional controls above the crank affect filter resonance, master volume, and the attack/decay of the touch envelopes. The switches activate the tuning mode which ignores encoder input and change the wave shape of the strings. Some plate reverb was added about halfway through, otherwise this is a direct recording."

"Here's a short demo of an instrument I've been working on. Liberal use of reverb helps mask the inconsistencies"

Using a tape deck as a rudimentary synthesizer

video by TheDzhoel

"Demo of using a feedback loop between the input of a Pioneer CT-F6060 and the output of a Sansui R-5 amplifier to create a pseudo moog with only a hifi stack feeding into itself. Maybe its useful or not, you can decide that."

WTFM Wavetable FM Synthesizer (RackExtension for Reason)

WTFM is not an FM synthesizer in the traditional sense.

Rather it is a hybrid synthesizer which uses the flexibility of Wavetables in combination with FM synthesizer Operators.

WTFM Wavetable FM Synthesizer produces complex harmonics by modulating the various selectable WT waveforms of the oscillators using further oscillators (operators).

Imagine the flexibility of the FM Operators using this method. Wavetables are a powerful way to make FM synthesis much more interesting.

WTFM is based on the classical Amp, Pitch and Filter Envelopes with AHDSR settings. PRE and POST filters include classical HP/BP/LP modes. 6 FXs (Vocoder / EQ Band / Chorus / Delay / Reverb) plus a Limiter which adds total control for the signal and colours of the Wavetable FM synthesis.

Operators Include 450+ Wavetables (each 64 singlecycle waveforms) all sorted into individual Categories.

The synthesizer includes a basic Modulation matrix for the main settings, special FX mod matrix, and also individual modulation routings to the various synthesizer elements.

WTFM includes 5 special modes:

Traditional Wavetable (WT) synthesis. 4 oscillators, each including 450+ Wavetables sorted into categories.

Classical 4-OP FM synthesis: each operator use 450+ Wavetables to modulate other operators in various routing variations of 24 FM Algorithms.

FM WT MOD SYNTHESIS: The selected Wavetable modulates the frequency of the FM Operators (Tune / Ratio).

RINGMOD Synthesis: The selected Wavetable modulates the Levels of the FM Operators similarly to a RingMod

FILTER FM Synthesis: The selected Wavetable modulates the Filter Frequency of the synthesizer.

This is a modern FM synthesizer with easy to program traditional AHDSR envelopes, four LFO lines, powerful modulations, internal effects, 24 FM algorithms. Based on the internal wavetable's library with rich waveform content: 32 categories, 450+ wavetables (each with 64 single-cycle waveforms), up to 30,000 waveforms in all.

Classical oldschool FM synthesizers give control of the Operator Levels and Ratio as a main function. WTFM additionaly works with the Operators, morphing waveforms of the selected wavetable. The era of oldschool FM synthesis is now moving to the future.

Should you wish however, you can of course go back to its origins using the included classical waveforms
