LXR-02 tutorial - Part 7: Fun with LFOs

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Part seven of a getting started guide for the Erica Synths LXR-02 drum machine. This is with firmware 1.2. This tutorial looks at applying multiple synchronized LFOs to a sound. You'd think a 17-minute tutorial could cover a big chunk of this topic, but instead it really only covers the more obvious options of modulating the pitch, filter, resonance and decay. There are dozens of other targets that can produce some extremely interesting and unusual sounds. At least this will get you started. Be warned though, it's a deep tunnel to explore! With six LFOs the LXR-02 can get very intricate very quickly.

As an aside: A non-synth friend who discovered me working on this video asked what it was about. When I tried to give a quick overview they thought it was hilarious. In the nicest way possible they dismissed it as 'incredibly niche'.

Some people just don't appreciate how much fun you can have with low frequency oscillators - but I know you understand.

I had long wanted to start these precious machines in search of new sounds. My friend Achim Zepezauer gave me an analogous sequencer. This sends data via midi but also by "control voltage" (C.V.). There are no computers in this project. Finding someone as open as Miroslava Stareychinska on the harp was essential to be able to merge the acoustic world with the analog. Finally, the support of the cultural foundation "Hessische Kultur Stiftung" made this project possible.

Ich wollte diese wunderbaren Maschinen schon lange auf der Suche nach neuen Sounds starten. Mein Freund Achim Zepezauer hat mir einen analogen Sequenzer geschenkt. Dieser sendet Daten per Midi aber auch per "Steuerspannung" (C.V.). Es gibt keine Computer in diesem Projekt. Jemanden zu finden, der so offen wie Miroslava Stareychinska an der Harfe ist, war unabdingbar, um die akustische Welt mit der analogen verschmelzen zu können. Erst die Unterstützung der Kulturstiftung „Hessische Kultur Stiftung“ ermöglichte dieses Projekt.

Hacía tiempo que quería poner en marcha estas preciosas maquinas en servicio de la busqueda de nuevos sonidos. Mi amigo Achim Zepezauer me regaló un sequenciador analogo. Este envia datos via midi pero tambien por "control voltage" (C.V.). No hay computadores en este proyecto. Encontrar a alguien tan abierto como Miroslava Stareychinska en el arpa era fundamental para poder fusionar el mundo acustico con el analogo. Finalmente el apoyo de la fundacion cultural 'Hessische Kultur Stiftung' hizo posible realizar este proyecto."

Sonicware Liven Bass & Beats Prototype Demo 1 - Big Wubs

video upload by ChrisLody

"So here's my first quick jam made using the new Sonicware Bass & Beats. This arrived on Tuesday and I've been tasked with creating wavetables and preset sounds for it which is what you're hearing here. There's a lot to learn that I have yet to look at, plus from what I can gather the text on the silk isn't final yet so I think this is a prototype.

The monophonic bass engine of the B&B features dual wavetable oscillators, a sub oscillator and a noise source. The structure is semi modular with velocity, 2 assignable knobs, 2 LFO's and 3 ADSR envelopes that can be freely assigned. It's possible to have LFO's affect each others speed for example. User wavetable import is possible and it uses the same format as the Serum VST, 256x 2048 samples so nice and high in quality. There is a filter with low-pass, high-pass and band-pass modes that has overdrive, plus waveshaping modes which can all be controlled using the modulation sources.

I'm sure the drum part of the B&B is also very powerful but I've not had much chance to learn how to use that yet 😄"

"... SE-3X, Ableton Live and 4 Hands staying out of each other's way. Maestro @kyleksq (Insta) made it hauntingly beautiful, before and after I, MSR, boxed up the synth, with his continuous controller wizardry and processing alchemy. Tell it throughout the land: this is HIS sequence! ;) A bit of additional audio layering in iMovie, by yours truly, perfected the Gumbo: think intro, outro and speaker hugging #boomstar4075 sub mainly throughout.

Enjoy,

Hypnotic Meditative Ambient Improvisation (System 8, Grandmother, Hydrasynth, Prophet 08, Nord, X3)

video upload by Denis Polic

"There are some top YouTube artists like State Azure or Martin Stürzer that I've heard a lot lately, true masters of long ambient tracks. So I decided to try to do something like this. The track is completely improvised, just closed my eyes and let it flow and really enjoyed the session.

Hope you would enjoy the hearing, cheers and peace on Earth !!!"
