A small tutorial, with a commentary in French, explaining how to program the basic functions of the EMS Synthi AKS: use three oscillators modulate OSC1 and OSC2 by the oscillator 3 as LFO, insert them in the envelope.

Un petit tutorial avec un commentaire en français expliquant comment programmer les fonctions de base de l’Ems Synthi Aks : utiliser les trois oscillateurs, moduler l’osc1 et l’osc2 par l’oscillateur 3 en tant que LFO, les insérer dans l’enveloppe.

A short video on the release of the first two oscillators Ems Avs. The patch is a basic simplicity, just the sort with the sinusoidal and the sawtooth in A3 and C3 oscillator 1, the square and the triangle oscillator 2 A4 and C4.  Note that the Shape button that controls the level of harmonics added.

Second patch simply on the envelope Ems Avs. The OSC1 and OSC2 are inserted in the envelope is in D3 and D4, the output is in A12 and C12.
A note is the small meter at the top left of the Avs is on A13. It provides up-cycle of the envelope. Precision, setting “off” is the gap between the end of one cycle and the new of the envelope.
A 1minute 57, noise is inserted in the filter H7, the filter is controlled by the OSC3, as in Lfo N6.

Deuxième patch tout simple concernant l’enveloppe de l’Ems Avs. L’osc1 et l’Osc2 sont insérés dans l’enveloppe soit en D3 et D4, la sortie étant en A12 et C12. A noter qu’A13 correspond au petit vu-mètre situé tout en haut à gauche de l’Avs. Il permet de suivre le cycle de l’enveloppe. Précision, le paramètre « off » correspond à l’écart entre la fin d’un cycle et le nouveau de l’enveloppe.
A 1minute 57, le noise est inséré dans le filtre en H7, le filtre étant contrôlé par l’Osc3, en tant que Lfo en N6.

Lovecapacitor shows his secrets for synthesizing a deep kick drum in Ableton Live. 

He uses two oscillators in Operator, tuned to 49 HZ & 73.4 HZ, snappy envelopes, a little compression and lo-pass filtering and gets a great kick.

LSDJ is an app designed to turn a Game Boy/Game Boy Color into a full-fledged music workstation.

To create your own sample kits for LSDJ, you’ll need several apps:

• Bias PEAK (5.2)
• Apple QuickTime Pro (7.55)
• LSDJ Patcher (5)

There are tutorials on many of the major synth platforms, along with opinion pieces and columns.

There is an excellent Reaktor tutorial, along with an overview of Reaktor 3. There is a column on Ableton Live. Other interesting sections cover synth building with Max and Buzz, and programming Absynth.
