Bifurcate

video upload by UncertainMusicCorps

"Continuing to explore the Wingie Blippoo firmware, this time trying to find a slightly more restrained way of working and allowing something to develop over a bit more time.

Paired with a BC9 on the line input for extra unpredictability. And sending it all out via a QuBit Aurora (standard firmware) for atmospherics.

I am loving the soundscapes this thing creates. Really regret not picking up an original Blippoo when I had the chance years ago."

08- The Arturia MiniFreak- Formant

video upload by AutomaticGainsay

"Here is a demonstration of the sound and functionality of the Formant oscillator found on the Arturia MiniFreak.

The theme was created out of presets and crafted patches over an assemblage of fragments of GarageBand loops. For all intents and purposes, it is a MiniFreak-Only composition."

G-Sonique KFXT-41 Techno Kick drum processor VST plug-in effect

video upload by G-Sonique

Kick drum is the most basic element / building skeleton of every techno track. From minimal techno to Berlin, Detroit, Schranz, Hardcore Techno or mainstream techno - kicks are important in every subgenre and creates the character of the track.

Thanks to the KFXT-41 Techno Kick processor plugin, you can create fat, dense, intense kickdrums from simple kicks (e.g. 808 / 909 or basic env.pitch modulated sinus samples), including their processing - with spatial reverberation, maximum density at bass frequencies, resonance and percussiveness, saturation and full volume. Instant techno kick rumble generator. Fast and easy.

You no longer have to worry about finding a suitable combination of samples, choosing and tuning dozens of external plug-in effects to achieve a real techno kick drum. In the KFXT-41 plug-in you will find: Saturation and bass boost analog unit for maximally fat bass and sub-bass, Analog kick resonators - 2x for highlighting the centers / percussiveness / ringing of the mid-range frequencies of the kick drum. In the plug-in you will also find a special analog sine saturator as well as a monoizer because the bass and sub-bass frequencies must be mono to eliminate problems on large sound systems in clubs and festivals.

In addition to the mentioned processors, the plug-in also contains a tuned techno reverb whose ambient component can be filtered with 9 different filters, including filters that emulate the sound of filters from hardware dsp chip-based synthesizers with a very organic, liquid sound and sharp acid resonance.

The plug-in also includes a collection of 35 diverse presets, which, however, can sound different and different depending on the input signal / used kickdrum sample. (we recommend tuning individually for each sample)

You an experimentally use this plug-in also in other genres like ambient, ebm, experimental, and also with techno percussions not just kick drums.

TOP FEATURES:

- Kick saturation engine with Bass frequency, Q, Saturation, Saturation volume, Kick enhance parameters

- Kick analog resonators 2x, with resonance frequency and resonance amount parameters

- Analog sine saturators – Analog sine input and analog sine shaper parameters

- Monoizer from 100% stereo to 100% mono

- Kick Techno reverb with filtered ambient output – Reverb room, Damp, Width, Mix, Cutoff, Resonance parameters and 8 filters : Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass, Peakiing, HW DSP Low pass, HW DSP Band Pass, HW DSP High Pass, Vintage Low Pass, LP+HP)

- Preset manager with 35 presets for various styles of techno drums from minimal, deep, Acid, Detroit to hardcore, dark, sharp, intensive kicks.

Shakmat Banshee Reach: Demo

video upload by Shakmat

"Murmuring, singing, screaming, and howling, the Banshee Reach delivers a very large panel of sounds. The mo- dule’s heart is based on a triangle core VCO with thru zero frequency/phase modulation capabilities. Besides delivering independently the typical analog waveforms, the Banshee Reach has a vari output combining a continuously variable waveform crossfading with a sub octave generator.

The analog core has been completed with a digital control for frequency locking and octave transposition, which makes the Banshee Reach really per- formance oriented. LFO mode, hard or soft sync, digital noise modulation and PWM complete this rich feature list. Compact and powerful, the Banshee Reach is a VCO suited for west coast, east coast synthesis and many more!"

GLITCHING WITH MICROCOSM

video upload by Perplex On

"First run with the #microcosm for glitching the drums coming from #drumcomputer. Background pad coming from the wonderful #isometra plug-in for decentsampler. The microcosm is controlled by a few LFO sending various midi cc values to control parameters like mix/activity/timing on the microcosm on top of live tweaking its knobs. Besides, random midi program changes switch between the different glitch presets on the microcosm."

SOLTON PROGRAMMER 24 / SOLTON PROJECT 100

video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"Italo Disco Machines?
Not false - but these two hotties offer a bit more than that.
Launched around the same time in the mid-80s, none of them caused much stir but at least the Programmer 24 was exported widely and they pop up on the market even in the US.
Overrun by sleeker Japanese machines, most Solton units probably seemed a bit dated at the moment of their release but re-adjusting the rearview mirror a bit we think they sound pretty great.
The Solton Programmer 24 is the obvious song writing tool:
It's a drum machine, bass line generator, chord generator and arpeggiator with an added string and organ section and a filter for the arpeggiator.
A very simple thing, almost a toy, but it's fun as hell and adding some effects to the sounds it gets interesting. For effects we're using the Schulte Compact Phasing, the low-budget, digital delay unit Vermona DEG-50 and the oddball, even lower-budget, mini-rack, multi-effect LEM FX22."
