video upload by Alan R. Pearlman Foundation
"We are thrilled to have Boston-based music producer, audio engineer, sound designer, and bass player BØLT (aka. Christopher Bolte) on ARPCHIVES LIVE for an in-depth interview discussing his work and an exciting upcoming project in collaboration with #ARPSFORALL.
Born and raised in Germany, BØLT eventually moved to Boston where he attended Berklee College of Music. His work mainly involves music production, mixing, and engineering, as well as creating sample packs for musicians."

NatLife Sounds #StopWar Sale - 30% Off and an Update
You might remember our friend NatLife Sounds in Ukraine from the following two posts: All My Sentiments, and Sweet Nowhere. I reached out to him but feared the worst when I did not hear back. I finally got a reply. I am happy to report he is safe and back to work. Please support him if you can.
The following is also posted on KVR:
Hello my dear customers.

To support my work (Analog, Digital & VST/AU Synthesizer Sound Design, DAW Track Templates and recording Sample Packs), you can buy any product on my site [http://www.natlifesounds.com] with the following coupon - #StopWar30 (enter this tag in the coupon bar). I also want to emphasise that from today the site supports payment via PayPal. The 30% off sale is available until May 19th, 2022."
Teenage engineering OP-1 Field // First Look direct from Superbooth 2022
video upload by Starsky Carr
"First look at the Teenage Engineering OP-1 Field. Its the latest incarnation of the classic and well loved OP-1 and its an absolute stunner. Looks great, and from what I could hear above the crowds at Superbooth has some great additions.
Unfortunately my audio recorder's SD card decided to corrupt all my files from this morning so this is camera mic only. Although its not ideal you can still hear what Tobias has to say so I thought I'd upload and I hope it doesn't spoil your enjoyment of the video too much."

SUPERBOOTH 2022: Oberheim OB-X8
video upload by sonicstate
"This is big news: Oberheim release the first genuinely Oberheim synthesizer since 1985, and it's big!
Marcus Ryle walks us through the features of the OB-X8 which combines all the facets of the OB-X, Xa, and 8, with ability to freely choose between the SEM or Curtis filters, oscillators and envelopes of the originals. It's like having three Oberheim classics in one handsome totally analogue package. It even comes with all the factory patches from the original synths, should you wish to time travel!
Price: 4,995 US$ Availability: shipping soon.

Gamechanger Audio Introduces the MOTOR SYNTH MK II
via Gamechanger Audio
MOTOR SYNTH MK 2 FEATURES
2 INDEPENDET MOTOR VOICES
The MOTOR Synth offers two separate MOTOR Voices with 4 Electromotor oscillators each - both voices can operate in mono, unison or in four-note polyphonic mode.
Both MOTOR Voices are equipped with a separate set of controls for adjusting VOLUME, SCALE, WAVESHAPE, individual AMP ENVELOPE engines for each musical note, as well as very detailed control over a deep and versatile PORTAMENTO / PITCH MOD section (called “Acceleration / Brake” ).
SEPARATE MULTI-MODE ANALOG FILTERS
Both Motor voices are equipped with a separate analogue multimode filter section with adjustable DRIVE, CUTOFF, RESONANCE, ENVELOPE SHAPE & AMOUNT and FILTER TYPE.
There are four analogue filter types - 24 dB LP, 12 dB BP, 12 dB HP, 12 dB AP (All-Pass). The new analog filter circuits have increased headroom, improved envelope response speed and a very precise analog Keytrack mode with adjustable depth, direction and filter “glide”.
DIGITAL VOICE
The MOTOR Synth MK II features an additional third voice - a high quality digital engine that can be used either independently, or to augment the raw sound of the MOTOR Voices. The Digital engine (DCO) can be used to produce various classic waveforms (with waveshaping), or as a noise generator.
The DCO is also equipped with a separate, fully controllable AMP ENVELOPE, PORTAMENTO section, and its own Digital multimode Filter designed to reproduce the 4 analog filter modes.
CONFIGURABLE STEREO OUTPUT
The MOTOR Synth has a single output jack that can be configured either as mono, or as a stereo output - thus routing the synth's two motor voices into separate channels. The digital voice can also be routed to the V1 or V2 outputs, or to both.
CROSS-MODULATION AND DETUNE OPTIONS
The MOTOR Synth features a dedicated center indent potentiometer for creating amplitude cross-modulation with either Voice 1 or Voice 2. The Detune / Drift knob gives you two kinds of oscillator detune effects.
MODULATION SECTION WITH THREE ASSIGNABLE LFOS
The MOTOR Synth MKII also features an extremely powerful modulation section that includes 3 individual LFOs with adjustable positive and negative depth controls. Each LFO can be easily assigned to almost any knob or encoder value on two independent modulation slots A and B. There are five independent modulation waveforms available for each LFO - each with a detailed waveshaping engine.
ARP, MOTION RECORD, SEQUENCER
- Powerful arpeggiator engine offers detailed control over a large variety of parameters, including note accent, pattern shift, note repeat and more.
- Multiple independent motion Record lanes assignable to all sound parameters.
- A built-in monophonic sequencer engine with controls for micro-timing, probability, ratchets, pattern length, pattern saving and chaining and much more.
PERFORMANCE KEYBOARD
Non-velocity sensitive 8 key keyboard with 4 pitch shift encoders - this is a small but powerful note input system with a lot of performance tricks up its sleeve. Alternatively, the MOTOR Synth is fully MIDI and CV compatible and can be used with all of your favorite keyboards (incl. poly-aftertouch), controllers and sequencers.
Sebsongs Modular EUCLIDEAN | ALGORITHMIC GATE SEQUENCER
via Sebsongs Modular
"EUCLIDEAN is a gate sequencer for the Eurorack format based on the euclidean algorithm. It is based on the euclidean DIY module developed by Music Thing Modular’s Tom Whitwell, and he has blessed this module with his approval.
The module consists of three channels of sixteen step sequences, and each channel can be set to any length, density and offset between one an sixteen. You get clear visual feedback due to the 8×8 matrix LED display, and setting each channel is easily done with the three encoders.
EUCLIDEAN is perfect for creating polymetric rhythms, odd time signature sequencing or clock division with a twist.
The module runs an internal clock set to 120 BPM by default, but can be triggered and reset externally. Each sequencer channel has a dedicated trigger output. In addition, the first channel has an inverted output that outputs triggers on every offbeat."
