Mystery Buchla Easel Patch

"All sounds are from the same patch, or as Don Buchla and Allen Strange called them, "instrument definitions." Only switches and sliders have changed. It is a patch I'm working on for my Patreon "Easel Patch of the Month" at https://www.patreon.com/synthtodd"

OB SuperVerb XVI: Sequential OB-6 + 2 X Alesis MIDIVerb II + QuadraVerb Plus + Audiothingies Dr. A

video upload by thesrabbit

"This is similar to my last vid, titled 'OB SuperVerb' [posted here], but now I've added the QuadraVerb Plus to the Alesis reverb stack. So, here we've got a MIDIVerb II on preset 28 (XLarge Warm 5 seconds) fed into a MIDIVerb II on preset 29 (XLarge Warm 15 seconds) fed into a QuadraVerb Plus on preset 75 (Taj Mahal). I've only tweaked a couple things on the QV, but it's very close to the stock preset sound.

In addition, I've got the Audiothingies Dr. A running in parallel, with my favorite go-to modulated plate reverb setting. This smoothes things out a bit as the Alesis stack on its own can get borderline clangerous, if that's a word. However, sometimes that clangy, feedback-like tone is just the ticket. I couldn't really decide on which version I like best, so I put them all here, including the "dry" OB-6 only version, which just has the internal FX. (DDL and BBD, with different delay times)

Which version is your favorite?

Contents:
0:00 Full Stack Developer Version (2 x MIDIVerb II + QuadraVerb with Dr. A plate reverb in parallel)
5:08 Alesis Reverb Stack Only (2 x MIDIVerb II + QuadraVerb)
10:15 Dr. A Only (Plate Algorithm)
15:21 OB-6 Only (No External FX)"

"Classic Oberheim Matrix 6 in full working condition. No issues on this one.. its ready for your studio or any stage.

This synth has that unmistakable OB sound at a price that is way more affordable than an OB8, OBXA!

Although you can fully edit any sound and create some wicked lush sounds.. I used a software editor to speed up that process. There are many great editors for Mac, PC and IOS.

This Matrix is in great condition in and out."

"Unlike most FM synthesizers that are very clean and digital, the YM2612 has very characterful tone allowing a broad sound palette ranging from beautiful plucked strings to growly distorted bass lines.

TACTILE OPERATORS

Hardware FM synthesizers are infamous for their reduced controls and complexity to program, with tiny LCD screens and only a couple of buttons to operate a load of menus…
With its 32 operators faders, 14 knobs and 15 buttons MEGAfm offers unprecedented hands-on FM control!

Every knob and fader can easily be modulated by the easy to use LFOs.

MAKE IT A DOUBLE!

The YM2612 chip offers 6 voices of crispy FM, 4 operators per voice and 8 algorithms.
MegaFM features 2 chips for a total of 12voices spread across two outputs (or summed to one)"

Resampling the Whole Track.. A Technique I've Wanted To Share // Can Circuit Rhythm Alias?

video upload by Ricky Tinez

"Yea i know i said WHOLE TRACK, and i just did a portion.. i ain't here to bore you to death haha. But you get the idea, play with something like this and resampling different portions of your track and see where that can take the arrangement!

Again, (broken record) I work at Novation and am using Circuit Rhythm to resample because i know it the best as of now. But you can Resample on most samplers! SP-404, Digitakt, MPC Live, MPC One, MPC Live II, Octatrack, the list goes on forever. You can even Resample in Ableton!"

What makes a good synth? // Herbs and Stones // Gianluca Herbertson

"Disregard the convention in the search for playfulness - probably good advice for anyone who's looking to innovate. In particular with instruments, where playfulness is key to inspiration, prioritizing the experience over the 'perfect sound' might lead to happy accidents.

Gentle Wham and his older sister (or brother, however you wanna see it) Liquid Foam, are both quite special in that sense. Their sound is gritty and surprizing and their visual style, typography and icons reflect a bold artistic vision that does not conform.

Gian, from Herbs and Stones, started tinkering with electronics at an early age. But it was only recently that he has taken the step to make his own instruments.

In this conversation, we go through the various prototypes that lead to Liquid Foam. We touch on an unreleased filter 👀, and end with his latest creation - Gentle Wham!"
