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. In this guide on how to use iconic synths in music, we’ll show you how to make synth sounds for genres such as soul, house, dubstep and disco. 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

The sound of the miniMoog is a distinctive rich tone that leaps out of your speakers at you. We’ve selected some of the best miniMoog Alternatives for recreating authentic leads and basslines. We’ve discussed how to do this using software plug-ins previously, but for many of us software can often be too clinical to capture the experience of using the real thing. First introduced in back 1970, the miniMoog Model D was one of the first synthesizers to feature a pitch wheel. It took most of the basic functionality from Moog’s massive modular systems of the time and rescaled the architecture for a new compact format.
