Cherry Audio Quadra demo tune—The Four

video upload by boxoftextures

"Recently got Quadra from Cherry Audio, a modern software recreation of the ARP Quadra. In a way it's a pretty limited instrument, but that's what the Quadra was. You got four basic elements—bass, strings, poly synth, and lead synth—and they all had a few controls for each, some more than others. The beauty of the Quadra was that for the price of one instrument you had access to all of those sounds, so in a sense it was a real bargain back in the day.

The Cherry Audio Quadra does a good job of recreating the instrument, and it adds a number of things, as usual. There are more effects modules, an arpeggiator, and programmable keyboard zones for separate or overlapping sounds, for example. And pitch and mod wheels (!). And the thing sounds darn good.

This tune was originally supposed to be just the four pure tracks, one for each of the Quadra sections, all my own patches of course. But I couldn't leave it be and had to add a fifth track with another lead section, and I couldn't leave well enough alone and had to make it an impure not-Quadra-only track by adding a pedalboard and a Nembrini Audio Sound Master amp simulator. Just had to get that biting lead sound. Because that's how I roll. As usual. And I make no apologies for it either!

So bottom line, Quadra from Cherry Audio sounds great. I never had an ARP Quadra back in the day, but now I've got those sounds.

Moog Werkstatt Discontinued

via @moogmusicinc

"The time has come to say goodbye to our favorite DIY sonic companion: Werkstatt-01

Werkstatt-01 was created to provide a hands-on understanding of how analog synthesizers work and encourage experimentation with sound through patching and interconnectivity.

The novel build-it-yourself synthesizer kit based on classic Moog circuitry, first introduced in 2014, leaves its mark as both a powerful standalone instrument and an enhancement to any integrated electronic music ecosystem.

#DidYouKnow that the research and design that went into Werkstatt-01’s circuitry ultimately led to the development of our entire semi-modular family? If it weren't for Werkstatt-01, instruments like Mother-32, DFAM, Subharmonicon, Grandmother, and Matriarch might not exist today!

Let’s show the small-yet-mighty synth some extra love in its final days. Share your musical explorations with the instrument here using #MoogWerkstatt01.

If you haven't had a chance to explore Werkstatt-01's powerful spectrum of sound, check with your local authorized Moog dealer (http://moogmusic.com/dealers).

The instrument is still available at select locations worldwide, and is the perfect holiday gift! Wrapped present"

Demo - Drum & Bass Foundations by Techtronix - Novation Circuit Tracks Pack

video upload by Isotonik Studios

"Drum and Bass is a genre thats here to stay, There has been a massive progression and shift over the years in the styles. From the early days of jungle and then stepping up to producers like Calyx Teebee, and Goldie, through to our modern day. Despite this, two things have remained.

The drive created by the bass, and the energy conjoured by the hard hitting drums, the combination of those two in tandem is what will always define dnb as one of the people's favourite genre.

This pack fits in that era between early Drum & Bass and modern, where there is still plenty of sub bass and thick reeces, but with a modern punchy take on drums and fx

All drums have been synthesized using Xfer Serum and have specifically been made to be on the right key and frequency range, to get the job done without pitching.

Rich pads, heavily modulated monster bass, and tough drums is where this packs aims to be.

Friday Morning Acid Doodle // Gotharman Urano + Eurorack Modular Synth #TTNM

video upload by THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"I'm back in the home studio wardrobe! :D For this Friday morning modular synth jam I connected my newly set up 4MS POD X 48hp Eurorack system to Gotharman's Urano. The Pittsburgh Micro Sequence B module sequences the Erica Bassline Acid voice, as well as two Urano stereo voices. Urano provides another synth voice and internally sequenced drum samples, master clock, Delay and Bit Crush FX. The Happy Nerding FX AID XL adds some black hole reverb on top. Modulation comes from the Flame Joystick then and also some internal Gotharman random genrators and LFOs."
