Glistening Crystal Harmonics - Dave Smith PolyEvolver and Sequential Circuits Pro~One

video upload by Reuben Jones

"Listen to crystal harmonics glistening in the sun in a frozen wasteland of ice shards and snow.

The PolyEvolver is so great at these icy cold sounds which, although they decrease the temperature in the room, are strangely hypnotic."

"the @NovationTV circuit is probably the best budget groovebox out there!
all sounds are from the factory sound pack.

Two Sketches: Doodling on the Buchla Music Easel

video upload by Electrum Modular

"This video suggests some ideas for extracting extra melodic mileage (and an accompanying bass line) from the Easel’s 5-step sequencer, using the keyboard arpeggiator and external delay and reverb. Further patch details in the captions.

Sequential Pro 3 Explorations

video uploads by David Falcon

Playlist:

1. Generator v1 // Generative Ambient // Sequential Pro 3

"Some say that it is a modular system within itself and well, it is amazing all the modulation options with the Mod matrix. I started with a generative patch and progressively added modulators to the modulators, on an Eurorack kind of way to (hopefully) make a more interesting pattern. The sequencer is on paraphonic mode with 3 independent lines on random mode, over G minor and D minor chords."

2. Opening // Sequential Pro 3, Elektron Digitakt, Guitar

This track to me sounds like the opening of a horror show or a thriller. Nearly a year since the last of these videos. Many proyects and a kid after I can sit and play again, make little pieces with no objective in particular.

3. Android Dreams // Digitakt, Pro3, Push, Minilogue xd

Pro 3 is mostly holding a chord with its sequencer moving the filter cutoff around as well as other parameters. On the Digitakt I have loaded a bass line and sparse notes from Pro 3, as well as the usual stuff. Small improvisation on a Minilogue xd off camera, and towards the end I activate the Arp Latch to continue playing. The push is controlling the Arturia Pigments on a preset that reminds me pretty much to the Binding of Isaac's soundtrack.

4. Dark Drones for darker times // Sequential Pro 3

We will never learn from the mistakes of the past, there is always a minority who will jeopardize everything we fight for every day...

5. Ambient Glitches // Digitakt + Sequential PRO 3

Love making these glitch beats to build pieces on top. The Sequential Pro 3 is so good for these genre! Also, shining lights.

6. NEW SYNTH DAY // Sequential Pro 3 + Digitakt + Pigments

"I finally took the plunge and got one of my dream synths, the Sequential Pro 3. A mono/paraphonic beast that makes every other synth I've owned look like a toy. The only complaint is that I didn't go for it much sooner.
Of course one of the first things that I had to do was to put it to work in conjunction with the Elektron Digitakt. Of course they get along great.
There are several sounds like the pluck and the sub bass that come from Arturia Pigments, the first improvised with the Digitakt chromatic keyboard, and the second sequenced. There is also a choir sound from Ableton Live sequenced from Digitakt.
The beat in Digitakt has a "hidden layer" with conditional triggers assigned to the fill button, which triggers a sub kick, as well as several extra percussive sounds.
The first of many videos with this keyboard.
Enjoy."

New Additions to Espen Kraft's Upcoming Prophet X Sample Pack

video upload by Espen Kraft

"I've added samples from the Roland JX-3P, PPG2.2 and Sequential Six-Trak lately. These are all samples I've recorded personally out of these 3 synths, like every sample in this pack. Totally original sounds/samples.

ASM - Hydrasynth - May be Digital but can sound super warm!

video upload by Scott McAuley Sounds & Synthesis

"Patches will be available at https://www.orano.co.uk/shop or http://www.synthsounds.co.uk

Again another Example of how warm the Hydra can sound, full of Epic Goodness, endless modulation capabilities, which makes for lush lush pads!!

The more I dive into this synth, the more I love it!

Enjoy

Yamaha TX802: Under the Radar Review

video upload by Off The Matrix

"The TX802 is essentially a DX7 II in a rack but has the advantage of being eight part multitimbral. I'll show how easy it is to use.
