Hydrasynth Explorer vs Alesis Andromeda. Which synthesizer is best for ambient? For Mars?

video upload by LeSynth

"This video is a demo comparison of the ASM Hydrasynth Explorer and Alesis Andromeda synthesizers, focusing specifically on how their pads sounds. It seems to my ears that both are terrific, that the fact that their engines are analog or virtual analog makes no difference at all in terms of richness. If I was going to Mars, I'd take both!

KadImprov #19 | Micro Cassette Noir Ambient | Mother32 | Syntrx | Valhalla Supermassive

video upload by KadiMusic

"I wanted to explore a dreamy, lost memory-like atmosphere, in a mysterious Ambient Noir setting.

A lost recording of a conversation behind closed doors rescued from a micro cassette on a #Pearlcorder is the introduction to this after-image. I layered the sounds to give each one a distinct location. The Moog #Mother32 was at the centre for the baseline, with a second recording providing thumping, clicking accents. To bring more space into the soundscape, I used an arpeggio with the Syntrx and a wide delay effect to give the lead part more depth.

Thank you for tuning in and don't miss my next demo, where we’ll see how I used the reverb and delay effects to make this soundscape. Enjoy!"

Demo - Electrix Mo-FX | Stereo Digital Multi Effects Unit | Distortion Flanger Tremelo Delay Rack FX

video upload by Here On Earth Studio

"This is a demo of the Mo-FX Stereo Multi-Effect Unit fro Electrix (Canada). It was run through a PreSonus BlueMAX set in Limiter Preset to catch peaks before entering my Focusrite Clarett 4 Pre.

No processing was done to the audio ***Be cautious as the levels jump quite a bit between some settings!

This is by no means a specification video, nor is it a demonstration of talent. I'm a drummer with some knobs and keys before me. That is the extent of it ;) I Just thought it would be fun to take various parts of an old song of mine and run them through the Mo-FX for some experimentation. I tried to be 'surgical' as to avoid too many peaks and unpleasant results. Then again, the beauty lies in messing it up i suppose."

0:00 Introduction
0:52 Interface
1:27 The Pitch Walk
2:40 Stochastic Distribution and Walk Order
4:04 The Amplitude Walk
4:56 Deterministic Pitch and MIDI
5:49 Quantization
7:38 Automation
8:28 Quasi-Granular Textures
9:07 Conclusion

Xenos is a virtual instrument plug-in that implements and extends the Dynamic Stochastic Synthesis (DSS) algorithm invented by Iannis Xenakis. Programmed in C++ with the JUCE framework, Xenos is open-source, cross-platform, and can be built in a number of plug-in formats.

Key features include:
• Authentic DSS engine
• Xenharmonic pitch quantizer
• Custom scale import in the Scala format
• Ten stochastic distributions with up to two parameters each
• First- and second-order random walks
• Variable number of segments per wave cycle
• Variable amplitude envelope
• Polyphonic (64 voices by default)
• MIDI implementation (notes, sustain, pitch bend)
• External MIDI controller assignment
• Parameter automation
• Simple and streamlined interface
• Free and open source

Xenos was first presented to the Meta–Xenakis Global Symposium, and is the subject of a master’s degree from the Media Arts and Technology (MAT) program at UC Santa Barbara.

Xenos is available as a free download on GitHub."

UDO Audio & Hazel Mills - Bloom - Super 6

video upload by UDO Audio

"Hazel's back with another awe inspiring performance using the Super 6 Keyboard and Desktop.

Taking inspiration from Steve Reich, Hazel built this Minimalist composition by programming a simple, repating sequence on the Desktop with subtle variation. Over time, with the addition of a gorgeous pad on the Keyboard, this accumilates and builds into an uplifting, hypnotic sequence, made all the better by a simple four-to-the-floor kick.

When paired together, the Desktop and Keyboard can be extremely powerful and immediate, making performances like this a joyus and playful journey in sound.

We hope you enjoyed the video, have a great weekend.
