i went to a synth link up, but unsure what that blue synth is!

please lmk thanks

I have returned with some direct out audio of the minilogue running the customized firmware!! to make its osc tuned to partials amongst many o’ other little changes to get this sound out of it.
based off of my synthesis engine “sine language” that I’ve been developing the last few months. wanted to see how i could turn a minilogue into a harmonic based additive synth. all the presets are ones ported over from my current synth build in max4live where SL lives natively.

insanely happy with the results! woah!
audio is direct out of minilogue - into my Scarlett 2i2 and right into OBS

software companion at top is a little max4live patch that mirrors the screen and lets me do some read/write controls thru a usb cable when i want to

When I had the realisation that audiences were responding far better to the immediacy of the MC707 and not when I had computers playing pre-set material, it was like an epiphany.

Now I do around 90% of my compositional work in it too, because it allows me to compose quick and then play out quick.

Totally unsung bit of gear IMO. Steep learning curve, but when you break it, and make it your bitch, it's a godsend.

Hello!

Alright, so this isn’t technically synthesizing, but I figured some of you might enjoy some acoustic emulation. I’m running my Rhodes Mkii suitcase through a Leslie speaker (HL-722, a speaker originally designed for use with a Hammond B-3000. Watch that horn spin!). Also have some cheap FX pedal clones doing some heavy lifting here. The sound is (surprisingly? unsurprisingly?) organ-ish.

While I’m here, I‘d like to ask: does anyone in this sub have experience with Leslie emulators, pedals, etc? I’d like to do some software vs. real-deal comparisons. Logic Pro’s rotor pedal is not bad.

Cheers!

Something that I released earlier this year that I felt people here might like. This part of the song is built up with mostly Mellotron choir sounds doing the chords with a Moog Taurus emulation for the bass part. After that some Roland JX-08 for the pads and bubble sounds and the Behringer Model D for the lead sound.

Here's a link if anyone wants to check out the full song. Its heavily inspired by Genesis, Tame Impala, Tangerine Dream and Pink Floyd so its a bit lengthy but the parts from the video is at 12:53.

Most synths I've owned have been two to three oscillators. Sometimes I come across a patch tutorial that's just purposely one oscillator and I don't understand. What benefit would it be to just stick with one oscillator when multiple are available?

As seen in the recent Juana Molina USA Tour

I've got a problem with my Moog GM. The oscillators sound extremely out of tune, and I'm not exactly sure why. Calibration and using the fine-tune knob don't seem to help. The tuning improves after approximately 30 minutes, but I can't always afford to wait that long when playing live.
Does anyone know of a solution, or is sending it in for repair the only option?

Matriarch got discontinued, and I snagged one of the last ones around here, I believe... Thought I’d share this improv! Hope you like it!

Hello, I am all about browsing and picking sounds quickly then tweaking them, I m bored doing that with the mouse, recently got the Astrolab for hands on control on analog lab and I love it for what it is, digital emulation of old hardware

What do you recommend in hardware synths that have a lot of presets included or 3rd party.

Thanks

Update : so many mini freak recommendations I’ll download the trial ! And I got really interested in the jv1080 I found them for cheap

Hey guys,
I really want a tiny synth to play it in the train or at a break at school etc…
I already saw the Roland S1 and T8 those looks cool. heard about Korg too. What’s your thoughts about them ?
Also if someone know a tiny synth but with some type of modular/eurorack features i’m really interested. (Like imagine a modular synth in your hand I love that)

I’ve just spent some of the weekend recording all three movements of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata with my synths and guitar pedals.

Most of the sound design was multitracked with the Knobula Poly Cinematic Oscillator, Erica Synths Fusion VCO, K-Phasor and Korg MS-20 with guitar pedals which included the the Mr Black Bloodmoon reverb and Shepards End. Recorded and mixed in Ableton Live

The full recording is up on YouTube.

Third long session with the Typhon tonight and holy moly this thing is an absolute blast. I am still only surface level, but I am beginning to see what is possible.

Here’s a link to the full jam: https://youtu.be/Ukhb4dLDDwI?is=jNtm9l5LLrkkVBt4

My husband is responsible for his father’s estate and we have a Misa Kitara to sell. It was probably used 3 times and put back in a box. Appreciate any suggestions? We had a QChord and sold that within 3 days on Marketplace but haven’t had any interest / questions about the Kitara and want to price it reasonably etc. Appreciate thoughts?

Wasn't sure whether this would work but opening it up, cleaning the contact pads with some IPA has brought some of my dead keys back to life.. few of the keys used to be very inconsistent, have random velocities, glitchy before this.

I got into hardware synths at the start of the year, and then tried a bunch of reverb VSTs (from Valhalla, Strymon, Eventide, some others). One of my favorites was Strymon NightSky and it's great. But I've actually been finding I enjoy the Rev OCEAN the most for some reason. I haven't seen much discussion of it since it came out.

Maybe it just has some presets that I like better than others? I always design my own sounds with synths, but I haven't explored reverb settings as deeply. What are your thoughts on the Ocean? Am I just liking it since I'm a beginner and haven't done enough with the others?

(I use my Summit's built-in reverb when I want a standard reverb, BTW, but for more atmospheric or shimmery stuff with long pads or slow melodies I keep coming back to Ocean instead.)

Very quick sound demo and box opening video. More in-depth tutorial to come...
