Here goes the first demo for two dual packs of patches for Yamaha DX7/TX7 and all of their ilk provided those are 6-operator+ synths, hardware or software. I’ll make them available later this year, separately and with Korg wavestate version of these timbres.

…Dialed up yet another double bank for DEXED. Also should be loadable to any hardware or software FM synth capable of reading Yamaha DX7-compatible SYSEX. Surely, the demo will follow soon. Probably these sounds will be offered separately from Phi Mu Labs 2 pack for Korg wavestate. Although I’m still thinking what’s the best source

I’ve owned Yamaha DX7 for many years. Got it second-hand in a working, but cosmetically drastic condition. For a time being it was one of the keyboards I used religiously both on stage and in studio, considering it much more of an ‘honest’ synthesizer than any ROMplers I owned aside from that. However, since discovering

A demo to LUMINOPHORE pack had been uploaded on Youtube. And I’ve started working on a new pack – this time for DEXED. It will be, most likely, compatible with Native Instruments FM8, Arturia DX7V, Plogue Chipsynth OPS7, SynprezFM, and every DX7-compatible 6-operator hardware synth that can read DX7 SYSEX files.

Finished my first pack for Surge XT synth, and must I say I’m incredibly impressed with this synth’s capabilities. Tried to employ them at depth. Earlier today I’ve cooked up a 16-minutes long ambient demo featuring some of the sounds. No other synths, no external effects except for a featureless limiter on the master bus
-
Increasingly surprised how any software synths worked at all like 10-15 years ago. For one, I’ve got an old Core i7 with 2.81 GHz cores, and Surge XT hits the roof with RT CPU values unless the patch is optimized heavily. On the other hand, it’s a reason to actually optimize things there. I have

Will go live with my black-sided sun project. A semi-improvised program: a laptop, keyboards, maybe some recital. Hopefully will make some distraction from the darker thoughts and moods. Hopefully.

I didn’t list it among my works for two reasons: first, I forgot, second, it stays incomplete, like quite a few of other my projects. I hope to finish it one day, but it will require a Herculean effort. Missa is dedicated to memory of both my godfather and father. They both have departed in
-
Yet I’m trying to shed the thought I’m doing it all wrong and the effort is rather pointless – there are so many premade patches for Surge XT already, who would even take a look at the newer bunch. To hell with that, anyway. While making these patches I’ve actually learnt a thing or two,

Will play keyboards with a quickie band, performing some bluesy-rocky stuff. Not much of a deal. In fact, expats musicians are largely playing for their kin, locals ignore such events for a few reasons. Shame, really. Also, shame that it’s mostly about playing covers, not some original music – people largely want to hear what
-
This is roughly 1/5 of what I plan to do. Custom wavetables, etc. Mostly ambient stuff that, hopefully, will work in other people’s mixes too. Surge XT is great. I thing I was spooked off it with a somewhat difficult interface. Now, however, I feel it’s very intuitive and cozy. And sounds is preeeeetty. :-)

Waldorf rocks hard this year. First they’ve recreated their classic Microwave synth in software as a plugin for macOS and Windows. Now, they’ve taken it to iPad. Interestingly, in the past they’ve done quite the opposite: first they’ve launched a fascinating Nave on iPad, then ported it as a plugin. Regardless, their plugins and tablet

Korg have released a new synth called ‘Multi/Poly‘, and it appears to be a way different thing than the name suggests: it’s not a new version of their venerable Mono/Poly (which had been reimagined in software more than once, and eventually had been cloned-n-reintroduced by Behringer). MusicRadar states that it doesn’t feel nor sound like

Having tons of fun with this software. In short, it’s a wavetable-maker with some very neat functionality. I haven’t been much into wavetables before, but it’s really going to change. The software is free, and is made to look vintage on purpose: after all it’s been inspired by PPG Waveterm hardware computer from early 1980s,

I have finally made a more decent site for my efforts than I used to have prior to war. It features links to, like, 90% of my recorded and published (this or that way) works, including music for my own projects and the commissioned ones. Right now I’m non-involved and open for cooperation. I’m most
