As I was listening to this, I closed my eyes and imagined myself atop an icy mountain. I really love getting lost in my own senses when creating music. I tried not to "mess" too much with this patch, only making some adjustments to Beads here and there. Sometimes it's just nice to sit back and listen to the patch do its thing.

Modules used in this patch:
Mutable Instruments Plaits, Marbles, Veils, Beads
Make Noise QPAS"

“Rossum Panharmonium - Internal Sounds” by Friendly Noise

video upload by Friendly Noise

"The Panharmonium is an audio processor, but also a sound source of its own. It can store up to 12 presets (the settings at a certain moment) and 12 different spectra of the sounds being analized. Combining presets and spectra, the Panharmonium can produce a great number of sounds right out of the box.

Everything you hear in the video comes from the included factory presets and spectra. There are no filters and no VCAs in the patch, so the sound is drone-ish.

Modules in the patch: Rossum Panharmonium, Intellijel Quadrax, Xaoc Tallin. Reverb comes from the Strymon Nightsky.

Sequential Take 5 - will it Blade Runner? YES

video upload by peterkeys88

"Let's make a patch, using the Sequential Take 5 synth, inspired by my favorite big weeping Blade Runner-esque pads (real, or imagined...including 2049). I was part of the beta-testing and patch design team for Sequential's Take 5 - The Take 5 is an incredibly powerful yet compact synth that's got it where it counts.

If you have a Prophet Rev2, I've made a preset pack focused on these kinds of big wide epic pads, called Mammoth Pads, available at https://www.peterdyer.net/shop

*This is a beta Take 5 unit, so a couple buttons on the panel changed orientation on the final release."

MODX Tape Loop simulation - patch walkthru

video upload by Russ Hoffman

"In this video (shot poorly with a handheld iPhone be warned!), I walk through how to create a patch on the Yamaha MODX synth that emulates a four-track variable speed tape loop player, using your own audio loop files. The John Melas 'Montage Waveform Editor' is used to make this a bit easier."

Korg M3R - The M1's super little brother

video upload by Espen Kraft

"The Korg M3R. The little brother module of M1, both from the late 80s and classic synthesizers from the era with some iconic sounds like THE house piano, bass and organ.

The demo song was a challenge as the drums inside the M3R are very crisp and not very dense low end. I had to layer, process, eq and compress to make the kick beefy enough and a combination of that kick and some snares makes out the final snare in the track. Again, layered, eq'ed and compressed.
The pads in the verses are made by multi tracking several pads and detuning them track by track. Just good old fashioned mixing.
The vocals are from a vocal sample download I bought many years ago and after all these years they finally came to life. The vocals are heavily pitched, stretched and manipulated to sound they way they do.
The demo song has loads of Valhalla VintageVerb on it, but the patch examples in the last part of the video uses only effects from the M3R, no external effects at all on these."
