"Time Intertwines,

In the morning’s chill, in the evening’s light,
Each step a stride towards hope’s height,
On the shores of the lake, where time intertwines,
Where the world’s beauty ever shines.

May the wind carry our fleeting fears away,
And may the lake whisper in our ears,
The secrets of dreams yet to be found,
On the path to tomorrow’s hallowed ground.

I hope you will enjoy this song as much as I had fun playing it."

The Amazing NINA synth - Must be heard to be believed!

video upload by School of Synthesis

"Watch Tristan from School of Synthesis make a track using only the incredible Nina Synth in morph mode! It’s exciting to see some truly compelling synthesis innovation coming out of School of Synthesis' home town Melbourne Australia. In this video, Tristan explores the expressive sounds of the Melbourne Instruments NINA synth with its morphing functionality and hybrid analog/digital oscillator section. It’s also extremely helpful from an educational / sound design perspective to see exactly how each parameter is changing as a sound morphs from one layer to another thanks to NINA’s trademark motorised knobs.

Analogue Solutions Ample Review

video upload by Michael Manning

"Ample is a new synth by renowned designer Tom Carpenter of Analogue Solutions. I would describe it as being quintessentially Analogue Solutions. It has that iconic, luxurious sound that has carried through every machine Tom has created, this time coming with a particularly beautiful LPF and an array of generous interface and performance controls.

I spent a month with this on loan from AS and enjoyed my time with it. While possibly not my favourite AS synth (that for me is the Impulse Command), this is certainly a synth worth your attention if you're a fan of vintage tones bursting with vibrancy and soul."

Accretion Disk - Arturia Minifreak Soundset

video upload by 2nd Attention

You can purchase them by following this link: https://accretionist.gumroad.com/l/ac...

"Just released: 77 custom presets for the Arturia Minifreak with an emphasis on musical sound design and crafted for a wide variety of playing styles. Nearly all of the presets utilize both macro controls and the mod strip for dynamic shaping of the sound, so be sure to experiment with these controls to get the most out of them. All presets have been tested for firmware 2.00 and utilize some of the new oscillators and features. Enjoy!

And as an example from my recent record The Second Attention you can hear the presets 'Alien Homes' 'Bass Seqr II' & 'Liminal' on the album opener Scintilla:"

JAde Wii Takes the New Limited Edition Erica Synths Perkons HD-01 in Black for a Spin

JAde Wii x Erica Synths Perkons HD-01 Drum Machine, First Encounter 👾 video upload by JAde Wii - https://www.jadewii.com/

via Erica Synths

"Introducing a truly unique and exquisite limited edition Pērkons HD-01 with an all-new sleek black finish and side panels crafted from handpicked wood and meticulously engraved using the mesmerizing Lichtenburg burning method.

The timelessly black finish of Pērkons HD-01 matches our other instruments and visually complements the dark aesthetic that has become synonymous with Erica Synths modules and desktop instruments all over the world. In addition the limited edition side panels are not just functional pieces of decor; they are works of art that effortlessly blend natural beauty with artisanal craftsmanship. Handpicked apple tree and plum wood brings a touch of orchard elegance, infusing each panel with the warmth and character of nature's bounty. The ash and oak wood, renowned for their durability and distinct grain patterns, provide a sturdy foundation for the intricate engravings.

But what truly sets these side panels apart is the mesmerizing Lichtenburg burning method employed in their creation. This technique, named after the physicist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, involves applying high-voltage electricity to the wood's surface, resulting in striking patterns reminiscent of lightning strikes. The method has gained notoriety due to numerous incidents of death and severe injuries when people have attempted it at home, with at least 33 people having died between 2017 and 2022. Pērkons HD-01 engraved side panels have been hand made by Sandis Vāgners in the deep woods of Latvia. To prevent his certain death during the engraving process Erica Synths developed a special emergency power cut circuit."

"Sometimes I just mess around on my modular synths when I wanna take a break from writing Synth Songs (which you should check out). And sometimes it turns into a song. Comment if you like this. Or hate it.
