How does the sound of the OB-X8 compares to an original OB-X?

Oberheim Official OB-X8 Comparison posts

"Marcus Ryle, co-designer of the Oberheim OB-X8 and an Oberheim engineer from 1980 to 1985, walks through all 32 of the factory presets on his original OB-X to demonstrate just how faithfully the new OB-X8 reproduces each one.

All examples are recorded direct in mono, without EQ or effects.

The new OB-X8 — true Oberheim sound. Listen and judge for yourself.

"OT playing drum samples and processing A4 and Novation Peak. Only a little bit of limiter on post process but I'm not sure if it was necessary."

Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Ensoniq Fizmo. Is this one-of-a-kind digital transwave synth and unicorn of the kingdom of controversial gear actually worth the money it goes for on the used market. Why did it fail in the first place?

Miniverse Module Collection | Cherry Audio

video upload by Cherry Audio

"Miniverse Module Collection, new for #VoltageModular and available exclusively at https://store.cherryaudio.com/

The Miniverse Module Collection is an expansion of the Miniverse virtual instrument into 14 flexible modules for use with the Voltage Modular platform. It retains all the classic tone and mojo that made the original Mini great while freeing users of the fixed “hard-wired” limitations of the original.

Like the Miniverse synthesizer and other Cherry Audio/MRB releases, the Miniverse Module Collection components have been expertly adapted to the modular workflow. Award-winning synth designer Mark Barton's (MRB) proprietary DSP coding reproduces every sonic nuance, every curve, and every response of the audio based on the original hardware. In addition, polyphonic module versions of the oscillator, mixer, filter, glide, contour, and VCA sections are included for up to 16-voice polyphony via poly jacks.

The 14 module Miniverse Module Collection includes:

• Miniverse Oscillator super accurately replicates the famously brawny sounds of the original Mini. Mono and poly versions included.
• Miniverse Filter is a 24dB/oct, lowpass filter based on the famous transistor ladder filter. Mono and poly versions included.
• Miniverse Glide module allows notes to slide smoothly from one pitch to the next and Mini's unique glide unique asymmetrical glide characteristics are accurately emulated. Mono and poly versions included.
• Miniverse Mixer is a four-channel mixer, usable with audio or CV signals. Mono and poly versions included.
• Miniverse Contour is an ADS envelope generator used to dynamically shape note volume, filter cutoff, or any other voltage-controlled mod destination. Mono and poly versions included.
• Miniverse VCA replicates the unique mojo of the original Mini circuit. It's usable with audio or CV signals. Mono and poly versions included.
• Miniverse Noise faithfully replicates the noise section of the original hardware with white, pink, and red noise generators. • Miniverse A-440 module replicates the Mini's unique tuning reference oscillator circuit.

The Miniverse Module Collection is available exclusively from the Cherry Audio store at an introductory price of $39. A 50% discount is available for customers who previously purchased the Miniverse instrument. For those new to the Voltage Modular platform, it's fully compatible with our FREE Voltage Modular Nucleus Edition, with no operational limitations. A free seven-day demo of Miniverse Module Collection is available."

THE HISTORY OF EARTH OBSERVATIONS by HIGH SKIES

LYRICS (Subtitles)
(Planet Earth)
Houston what you’re seeing is the Western Hemisphere
Looking at the top is the North Pole
In the center, just lower to the center is South America
All the way down to Cape Horn
I can see Baja California and it appears now that the east coast is cloudy

Okay for colors
The waters are all a sort of a royal blue
The clouds of course are bright white
(Bright white, bright white)

The Southern Hemisphere is almost completely clouded over
And up near the North Pole there’s quite a few clouds
And a long band of various cirrus clouds that extend straight out across the Atlantic

Knobula Kickain : The Last Kick Drum Eurorack Module You'll Ever Need

video upload by Perfect Circuit

"Check out even more details about the Kickain here : https://bit.ly/3S9BzQ2
Pick one up for your own rack today : https://bit.ly/3oDmE2T

Offering a dance floor staple with spectral mixing capabilities, Knobula's Kickain is a combination of a highly sculptable 909-inspired kick drum and stereo processing for internal and external mixdown.
This powerful module can wrangle your whole mix into a pulsing dancefloor HEATER, and isn't just limited to kick sounds. Percussive thuds, clicks, hats, and snare sounds are also achievable, and when paired with the on board reverb, the Kickain is a percussion sculpting POWERHOUSE."

99bpm Dubby Chill [with a Sweet Hybrid Setup!]

video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"Track Recording Date: 07/26/2022
Tempo: 99bpm
Key: Fminor Pentatonic (Yes, AGAIN! lol)

DETAILS:
Fully hybrid setup with Polyend Play as the main sequencer as well as playing back drum samples and lots of chord samples.

The iPad is connected to an audio interface that has midi in, and i'm sending midi to miRack for the main kick and main snare sounds, as well as loads of percussion, fx and the 2 main evolving pads/texture sounds - all coming from miRack.

*ALL SIX* Individual Outputs from the iPad's audio interface go to six individual inputs on the Eurorack FX System!! I am processing ALL of the miRack sounds through real-world Eurorack !!

The Syntakt provides a LOAD of sounds, from the main bass to chord stabs to percussion, all being sequenced from the Play via midi!

ALL AUDIO is being fed into a 1010 Bluebox mixer/recorder where i'm mixing, doing some gentle EQ and compression, and recording the track. The track was then loaded into Soundforge audio editor and I ran it through my Favorite: Waves L3 Ultramaximizer plugin - to get the track levels a bit more glued, consistent, even and to make the track louder!

I then sync up the audio/video manually in my video editor: Luma Fusion on iPad.


Whatever kind of music you are making - KEEP IT UP, Friends!
Don't stop making *YOUR MUSIC*!!"

video upload by LFOstore

"Korg N5 series really underrated machines - especially in video demo area - there are more than 1000 sounds but all demos are showing boring & overused electro pianos & organs

When N5 capable on much much more - great pads/string/ambient atmos/leads,basses & yes - arps!
Cause this synth having good arp!

Enjoy!
