More and more developers are creating plug-ins, presets, and soft synths that support Keystage’s MIDI 2.0! Here’s a soft synth called WoodSynth by Woodman’s Immaculate Maple Syrup Studio (tag?) 👉 Link in bio. WoodSynth can be used stand-alone (device audio input and output) or as a plugin in a DAW.⁠ ⁠ WoodSynth is a synthesizer with 4 independent layers. Each layer is in fact a synthesizer on its own. Each layer has 3 VCO’s plus a samples or wavetable based source, coming from a file or from recording the audio track. Up to 16 voices can be set per layer. Layers can be used in parallel, assigned to a region of the keyboard or used in a sequential mode where the first note(s) on are played by layer 1 and the next note(s) by layer 2 and so on. This last mode allows to have a different sound per note played (and independent from a keyboard region). WoodSynth has a polyphonic pitch-bending touch bar which also displays notes received from a keyboard. Each layer has its own filter and envelope with ADSR per voice, a pitch shifting envelope per VCO, a delay, a basic reverb, a modulator LFO per VCO, 2 general LFO’s and a 16 steps sequencer. Key tracking can be applied on the ADSR attack and release, on the filter cutoff and on the VCO modulation.

ARP Instruments, Inc. (ARP) was founded by engineer Alan R. Pearlman (whose childhood nickname was ARP), ARP was a dominant force in the synthesizer market in the 1970’s, at one time controlling around 40% of the market share. ARP synthesizers have been featured on countless records, have shown up in films (both scores and on-screen), and the ARP 2600 famously provided the voice of R2D2 in Star Wars. Though the company was around for little for than a decade, ARP was a key player in the evolution of electronic and popular music, and the iconic instruments they produced are still in demand today! Come by the showroom and check it out! We have one plugged in for you! #synthhistory #syntaur #synthwizards #arp2600 #synthnews #korg #electronicmusic #synthmusic #keyboardist #synthmusician #synthesizers #analogsynths #vintagesynthesizer #musicinstruments #vintageinstruments

Let’s hone in on how to make a great kick sound on the KORG drumlogue three-fold hybrid drum machine! Follow along as @nothing_neue breaks it down!⁠ ⁠ The drumlogue’s front panel design is super intuitive for sound design, and for kicks, drumlogue has a lot of top end on its kicks straight out the box. ⁠ ⁠ @nothing_neue tends to set the kicks a bit lower & set the filter to roll off some of the high end of the kick as well! Using drive, you can add that high end back in, but little bit more controlled.⁠ ⁠ Almost like oscillators on a standard synth, you can dial back the attack of the drum so you’re not getting so much click! Sweep and sweep time is your own personal preference & you can play it by ear. Make it aggressive or dial it back!⁠ ⁠ Pro Tip 👉 Dial it all the way up FIRST so you can hear what it’s doing and then roll it back so you can really add what you need to the sound instead of emphasizing too much!⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #drumlogue #korgdrumlogue #drum #drummachine #hybriddrummachine #hybrid #beat #beatmaking #analog #analogue #digital #API #SDK #reverb #delay #producer #soundproduction #sound #musician #studio #gearporn #synthesizer #synth #hardwaresynth #hardware #soundeffects #music #mood #kick #drumkick
