"One on side, we have a Grammy-nominated electronic producer who has used an original Minimoog for nearly two decades. On the other, a rising star of the beat community who sculpts drums and basslines from VST and hardware clones. Together with one vintage Model D and one brand new Model D Reissue, they share their music-making processes and create something new."

SONICWARE Liven Lofi-12 - How to Make Lofi Music

video upload by ChrisLody

"So here it is, the new SONICWARE Liven Lofi-12 sampler, and it's pretty damn good.

The Lofi-12 allows 12khz and 24khz sampling frequencies with 128 sample slots. The samples are either 2 or 4 seconds long depending on the chosen frequency. Audio can be recorded directly into the internal memory via the Line In socket, after which sampled sounds are immediately playable across the keys chromatically. Sample playback is not interpolated (not smoothed out) so they have a gritty quality rather than being dulled by the low sampling rate.

A lot of features have been brought over from the Liven XFM including it's sequencer, voice modes, parameter locks etc, but this time the maximum polyphony is 10 rather than 6. Plus each track has it's own effects section that can be modulated by the parameter locks and the reverbs found in the Liven 8Bits Warps are here in a dedicated master reverb section with the addition of Tape and Vinyl effects.

There is a deep editing overlay like the XFM which enables samples to be trimmed, looped and reversed. It's possible to record in instruments and waveform and then loop sections to make the sound loop cleanly, a slight cross-fade is used to accomplish this.

The same Sound Locking function found on the XFM is present too so it's possible to modulate the sample selection in each track, so having a track play a kick and then a snare is entirely possible.

All in all it's a very well rounded little affordable sampler that can record directly into it's memories and can be used like a groove box. Pretty awesome I think.

● Retro sampling engine with 12bit Sampler mode

● Easily play samples chromatically across the keyboard

● Powerful 4-track sequencer with parameter and sound locking

● Laid-back knob for creating drunk beats

● 11 types of Effects each track and 8 types of Master Effect

The LIVEN Lofi-12 has a 16bit - 12kHz/24kHz sampling engine with the 12bit Sampler mode that will turn any sound into a pleasing lo-fi sound.

Like the many legendary samplers that were released in the late 80s, this is a genuine low-bit and low sampling frequency sound that cannot be obtained authentically with bit crusher effects and other modern sound degrading tools.

Up to 4 seconds mono sampling per sample slot (2 seconds mono sampling at the 24kHz mode). Start and end point trimming, pitch adjustment, reverse playback, sustain loop, filtering and LFO modulation are all possible."

Cherry Audio Introduces the GX-80 Virtual Yamaha CS80

GX-80 | Cherry Audio
Introduction to Cherry Audio's GX-80 - Hosted by Tim Shoebridge
Evil Genius (feat. Cherry Audio GX-80)
Cherry Audio - GX-80 -10 Miscellaneous Presets #notalking #synthesizer
Cherry Audio GX-80 // How to Program a 1970's Classic // a CS-80 plus extras from the GX-1



"GX-80 is Cherry Audio's visionary new flagship synthesizer - over a year in the making - that combines the unparalleled sound and features of the fabled GX-1 "Dream Machine" and its renowned descendant the CS-80 to create a powerhouse hybrid.

Get GX-80 Now!

GX-80 is not just another CS-80 emulation. GX-80 adapts the legendary GX-1's massive dual-layers, additional waveforms, and unique filters, making it the equivalent of two CS-80s and then some! When enhanced with GX-80's discrete layer volume and panning controls, the result is a colossal dual-layer voicing architecture with 16 polyphonic voices per layer, capable of sounding two different CS-80 style sounds simultaneously in a split or stacked layer mode.

To provide the ultimate expressive performance, GX-80 includes a split keyboard mode and support for both polyphonic and monophonic aftertouch controllers. Further, Cherry Audio has added an innovative 'last-note priority' mode for simulated poly aftertouch response with a monophonic channel aftertouch controller.

With its dual-layer interface, over 1,000 stunning presets from expert sound designers, and integrated studio-quality effects, GX-80 is a singular effort worthy of the 'flagship' label.

The rarity and exorbitant cost of the GX-1 and the CS-80 have made it impossible for most musicians to experience these legendary instruments. That's why Cherry Audio is making its flagship GX-80 synthesizer available at the astoundingly low price of only $59! GX-80 is also available as part of Cherry Audio's comprehensive new Synth Stack 3 collection, which features all of its virtual instruments at an even more affordable price.

GX-80 is available now at https://cherryaudio.com/products/gx-80 and authorized resellers worldwide for Windows and macOS, with macOS 13 Ventura and native Apple M1 processor support, including Apple M1 Ultra. GX-80 is provided in AU, VST, VST3, AAX, and standalone formats, and a free 30-day demo is available.

Visit cherryaudio.com for a complete list of features, exciting launch videos, testimonials from industry professionals, earthshaking demo tracks, and system requirements."

Prophet 6 beats the Polybrute at this

video upload by Jameson Nathan Jones

"For the sake of this comparison I'm looking strictly at simple patches that both synths are capable of performing. I'm aware that this is only a tiny portion of what the Polybrute can do, and will explore the advantages it has over the Prophet 6 in my next video."

Arturia Solina V String Machine Synth | Fave Sounds

video upload by Mamotreco

"Playing through some Arturia Solina V2 synth sounds that have stood to me. I've been really surprised by the flexibility of this VST synth. While string machine sounds are its bread and butter, don't let that dissuade you from considering it for your sonic arsenal.
#solinav #arturia #vsts
I tried to play through a wide range of sounds on this Arturia plugin. While you have all your expected categories from strings and pads to leads and bass. The Solina V2 has a unique sound quality that adds grit and abrasiveness in certain places while still being capable of smooth, creamy and dreamy synth sounds.

The iPad Composite DAW, or, How To Easily Create An Entire Recording Studio On Your iPad

video upload by boxoftextures

"'The iPad Composite DAW'
Built with AUM, Audiobus, and Audio Evolution

This one's a bit of a long one, and I've been meaning to do it for a while. Basically this is a how-to on how I'm using AUM to host my plug-ins, then using Audiobus to route the audio out of AUM into my DAW of choice, which in my case is Audio Evolution Mobile Studio. This essentially lets me turn my iPad into a completely self-contained studio environment. There's a number of steps to get it going, but nothing too difficult, and it all makes sense once you get used to the idea. And it just works! Using these three apps together takes care of sending the audio where it needs to go and configuring almost everything pretty much on its own. It's almost hard to believe how well it works.

AUM
Audiobus
Audio Evolution Mobile Studio
