DSI Prophet 08 | Wonders a world away | An ambient soundscape

video upload by MIDERA

"Tomorrow, my daughter starts 1st grade. I remember last year how nerve-wracking it was sending her off to school. Would she be okay and meet good friends? Would she do well in class? It was a big change. It's nice to at least feel that there is some comfort in 'returning' to something she knows and feels comfortable doing. I'm at least excited about that.

But we're in an interesting time. Every day she gets panic attacks, crying telling us she 'thinks' she's 'going to puke.' Of course, nothing happens and we have to reassure her that she won't puke. I don't know if it's the amygdala developing and it's just part of growing up. I remember when I was little I would cry in bed, and my parents would come to me and I'd say I'm really sad knowing that some day they would die. They told me that wasn't going to happen... which was obviously a lie. Of course, one of these times our daughter tells us she's going to puke, she probably will.

As for this track - I've just been really pondering what DSI synths to keep. I actually find the P08 to be the best sounding, although the Poly Evolver is a very close equal, despite only 4 voices. I think the P12 is very similar, but it's also lacking something I can't quite put my finger on. I still think it's in the envelopes. Something about them just feel stiff. The P08 and PE seem to deal better with it. But then again, they're all 3 different instruments. I think the PE is theoretically the most interesting and best of them, at the expense of 4 or more voices.

This track used the Strymon Volante and Eventide Blackhole VST.

Zlob Folidplier wavefolder - sine edition

video upload by John Schussler

https://zlobmodular.com/

"In my last video I did a comparison with the Zlob Foldiplier [posted here] that involved me using a saw wave as the input audio source.

It was pointed out to me later on ModWiggler that in fact, that's not the best idea. What you really want to do with wavefolders (and distortion) is to use a simple wave like sine or triangle, so the folder can add more magic, particularly on the low end. High-harmonic-content waves like saws are already so busy that you don't get as much of the juice out of the 'folder.

So let's try this again, but this time with a sine wave. Note that I'm not doing the AI Synthesis Wave Animator in this one since it's not technically a wavefolder, and the input wave doesn't matter. I am, however, adding in the Joranalogue Fold6, because like the Foldiplier it's 4hp, and it's currently my favorite.

Let the competition begin....

video upload by G Tracks

"Yves has done it again with his new Delorean Dream 3 pack. This is me GTracks using the Novation Circuit and the Delorean Dream 3 pack to create multiple sessions to bring you this Track. The work flow is a little different from the Circuit Tracks and I am not as perfect as I would like to be with the timing but the grittiness of the Circuit still shines through. Yves Big City Mastering has created this pack with huge sounds and patches that stand out from the rest. This is the beginning of a series of Tracks using this pack and the Novation Circuit and the Novation Circuit Tracks to bring you along for an unforgettable ride. I can't say enough about the pack and the samples! They are great and everyone should have this pack in there components software. I beta tested this pack before it came out and Yves was AWSOME throughout; the final pack is worth every penny to pick up @IsotonikStudios The creators put a lot of time into these packs to ensure that we have quality samples to work with when we are creating our own music. Please Like and Subscribe and stay tuned for more Great Tracks. Thanks for watching, best heard with headphones 🎧 Let's go make some music 🎵🎶🎵🎶

Pack used is Delorean Dream 3 available soon!!!!!!!!!!

Packs from @IsotonikStudios are amazing packs and very versatile. Big sounds that can be modified to suit your style and needs. Have Fun!!!!"

CHASE BLISS HABIT // UNBOXING // MicroFreak + DOD RUBBERNECK Analog Delay // Session 2

video upload by LESINDES

"PROCESS:

Playing CHASE BLISS HABIT for the first time after having read the initial chapter of the manual. All DIP switches OFF and in the beginning only playing with the two delays and repeat rate.

In order to give the sound a bit more with and liveliness I processed the HABIT signal thru the RUBBERNECK which is faded in in the beginning resulting in a very nice stereo image.

The DOD RUBBERNECK is panned to the LEFT and HABIT's mono only signal to RIGHT.

The little black box on the right side is also very helpful: ART SplitMix4. A passive mixer/ splitter. Enables me to slpit the HABIT signal in two line signals.

The HABIT signal goes to the right stereo input and the other HABIT signal is processed by DOD RUBBERNECK and is fed into the left channel. As ART SplitMix4 is completely passive no hum and no PSU is needed as well."

"Corrected some simple mistakes and have the VBF behaving much better! First half is with single oscillator (Squarewave) and two simple modulation sources. Second half has two square wave oscillators mixed into the input with same modulation sources."

Korg PE-1000 Deep Dive

"A deep dive into the wonderful Korg Polyphonic Ensemble, AKA the PE-1000. All the features of this 46-year-old synth, lots of original sound, lots of talking. Why is this such a wonderful old synth? I'll tell you why..."

Norman McLaren's hand-drawn sounds

video upload by Robotussin Vintage Synths

"Scottish-Canadian animator Norman McLaren developed a technique of painting onto the optical soundtrack area of the film negatives of his animations.

The shapes would then make drones and buzzes when played through a special type of projector. He used the technique to create experimental soundtracks to his animations.

It's similar to Daphne Oram's technique of turning shapes into sound – though hers, which she called Oramics, was more complex, with dedicated machines that read shapes on the entire area of the 35mm film, rather than just the little strip that contains the soundtrack.

You can see the results in the third video above, an extract from McLaren's film 'Dots', which employs the technique.

McLaren – born in Scotland in 1914 – worked for the British Post Office's film unit until around 1939, when he moved to New York, then to Canada in 1941, where he produced animations for the National Film Board, before setting up an animation studio at the École des beaux-arts de Montréal and the Ontario College of Art.

There he produced around 70 films, much of it highly experimental and strange. He died in 1987 aged 72."

This also reminds me of the Optigan.

Norman McLaren is mentioned in this book: Vector Synthesis: a Media Archaeological Investigation into Sound-Modulated Light
