The mid-‘80s saw the release of the Korg DW-8000, a unique digital/analog hybrid that sounds like nothing else on the planet. This is its story. Korg DW-8000 For every Roland Juno-106 and Prophet-5, there are plenty of mid-tier synths that never broke through into the big time. Not for lack of features or sound quality either; with so many excellent instruments released between the late-‘70s and early ‘90s, not every synth could be a runaway hit...

Last week, astute Reddit users cottoned on to a potential new product from the Teenage Engineering camp, thanks to an FCC filing which suggested the imminent launch of the OP-XY. Now, the OP-XY, a successor to the Swedish brand’s OP-Z synth, has officially arrived. Dubbed an “all-in-one powerful synthesizer and composer with deep, direct sequencing capabilities”, the OP-XY takes the advanced sequencing of the OP-Z and places it in a smaller enclosure, more similar to the brands’ OP-1...

Don’t let the plain name fool you: Polyend Synth packs 8 synthesis engines into a tabletop grid-based instrument with 3 sequencers, chord modes, and more. Is it getting hot in here? Polyend Synth A year ago this month, Polyend launched its Play+, an upgrade of its popular groovebox with four new synth engines. It seemed like the obvious move for Polyend to put those digital synths into their own instrument, and that they have – in a sense. Three have made the crossover, with five more engines joining plus a bunch of other cool features. Folks, meet Polyend Synth...

Synthesizers are used to create all kinds of sounds in popular music, and some of the most recognisable tones come from electronic synths, be they hardware or software-based.

We’ll also look at ways to process these synth sounds to get the most from them, and give examples of how to sequence them. In this tutorial we’ll use Komplete Kontrol with Monark, Massive, FM8, Blocks Primes and Razor synths, Raum and Replika XT effects, plus Faded Reels, Drop Squad and Higher Place expansions...

More great sounds and presets this week, including some for the latest Arturia plugin and a bank that sold me a synth! There’s an unwritten rule when voicing a new synth. The very first patch when you turn a synth on is the one that sells it. KORG’s M1 had ‘Universe’ and the Prophecy had ‘Prophetic Steps’. Roland’s D-50 had ‘Fantasia’ and the JD-800 had ‘Millenium’. Heck, even Arturia’s PolyBrute 12 opening patch, cleverly called ‘The Opening’, is a real sonic statement of intent. The theory was that when a customer walked into a music store (remember those?), they would turn a synth on or select Bank A Patch 1 and play. This patch needed to grab them and draw them in. It’s the same as the first sentence in a book. That initial interaction has to sell the synth. Just ask Alesis how important that is. On their ill-fated Fusion workstation, the first 10 patches were pianos. And the very first one wasn’t even that great. Amongst a raft of other things, when the user played it for the first time, all they got was a bog standard piano. It was downhill from there… The post Sounds and Presets: Great Patches That Sell Synths appeared first on gearnews.com. View the full article

This is the last chance to get an intro offer for MiniBrute V (offer expires in 48 hours). MiniBrute V not only recreates the distinctive analog grit of its hardware predecessor but elevates it with modern flexibility, expanded polyphony and a built-in FX rack - add the brute spirit to your production. 199€ 99€ (or even less if you have other Arturia products) https://www.arturia.com/products/software-instruments/minibrute-v/overview TAE® Powered (True Analog Emulation) TAE® is Arturia's proprietary technology for creating virtual synthesizers that emulate classic analog synthesizers Accurately reproduces classic sounds: TAE® models the behavior of analog components like oscillators and filters at a very detailed level. This allows Arturia's virtual synths to capture the warmth, character, and imperfections of classic analog gear. More realistic oscillators: TAE® faithfully recreates the sound generation of analog oscillators, including complex Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) for creating unique timbres. Detailed filter modeling: TAE® models the specific circuits used in famous analog filters, allowing Arturia's virtual synths to reproduce the filtering characteristics that contribute to the sound of those instruments. Arturia's TAE® technology is designed to give musicians a virtual instrument that sounds and behaves as close as possible to a real analog synthesizer. This lets them create classic sounds or explore new sonic textures without the limitations of traditional digital synthesizers. YouTube Videos
