Sequential Pro 3 Tutorial: Add a Backbeat to Your Patch
video by Synthetic World 859
"Sometimes it's really nice to play with a drummer...so why not program one into your patch? In this tutorial I show you how to make a beat that plays along with you, or using the arpeggiator plays on its own as long as you can keep up!"

Modal SKULPT SE // vs MicroKORG and OB-6 // How Virtual Analogs massively improved
video by Starsky Carr
"Virtual Analog synths seem to be taking a few knocks here and there at the moment. But something as small and great value as this is well placed to show the detractors quite how well we've come on in the past few years."
Disclaimer and the obvious: not all early VAs are the same, and not all analogs are the same. There are plenty of vintage analogs that sound anemic and a few VAs that sound quite bold and do cut through the mix. They all have their own character. RE age, the Access Virus TI, Waldorf Q, and the original VA, the Clavia Nord Lead, hold their own. Lumping all early VAs with the MicroKORG is a bit misleading. That said, this is a useful video as it does touch on differences in design for three individual synths. Remember, when you watch any given synth demo, that demo only covers what you actually hear, and that is usually just a small glimpse into a synth's capabilities.

Arturia FX collection 2 + Microfreak, Pigments, Moog DFAM, Dreadbox Typhon. No Talking. Jam
video by Anton Anru
"I'm passing my synths through the brand new Arturia effects, that are now included in FX Collection 2. 22 plugins total. As all the effects emulate classics they add that vintage analog coloration in a really nice way. That's why it was interesting to pass hardware synths through these effects.
Moog DFAM - Bus FORCE (check out how it makes the sound bigger).
Dreadbox Typhon - Pre 1973 and Comp DIODE-609.
Arturia Microfreak - Filter M12, Delay TAPE-201 (with the new preamp type), Rev SPRING-636, Flanger BL-20.
Arturia Pigments (played with Keystep) - Chorus JUN-6, EQ SITRAL-295, Comp TUBE-STA.
So to test the plugins I made this jam. Hope you'll enjoy the new plugins by Arturia.

"Her Majesty Elka synthex (Second Version), fully functional, just put back into operation.
All voices restored to proper operation and all parameters checked. The 2 double "Balance and Master" potentiometers have been replaced with 2 guaranteed lifetime potentiometers of much higher quality like those of the MOOG MODULAR. We left the moog caps simply because they have a slightly wider stroke, but if you want to put back its original caps we have kept them and just file the hole slightly to get them to the desired size.
Only flaw: the joystick on the left is broken. we didn't look for it because it works like this too."

"The 208 is a 208r V1 with NOS vactrols and NOS tropical fish capacitors and Sprauge capacitors for accurate tone. All high quality parts that you won't find in another Easel unless you have the components and build it yourself of course. Comes with Buchla style silver panel if you prefer. Black panel is a little cloudy in spots but hardly noticeable. You can mount this 208r in a shallow boat in your Buchla case, unlike every other version of the 208."
