Not a defenitive guide to, merely a
technique I use, and like. I was asked to do the tutorial
after posting about the technique on DOA and DSF.

Mirage from Reaktortips.com
Picked up the new Mirage and the Loupe Reaktor ensembles yesterday from ReaktorTips.com. Mirage is a granular sampler designed by Peter Dines for Reaktor and is great for soundscapes - Peter says it's inspired by the music of Tim Hecker. You can pick up the two for the next two days for the low price of $22.50, after that their $15 each. Below is a video of my first hour messing around with Mirage. I'm using samples from the ensemble itself in this video as well as some from New Atlantis Audio's Night Shift soundbank.

audioMIDI Presents The M-Audio Venom, Part One
Synth expert Mitchell Sigman talks about M-Audio's new Venom virtual analog synth with integrated audio interface. Part Two with computer editor review/demo coming soon! Get Venom at www.audioMIDI.com!
Roland CR-78 vs Moog FreqBox (Solvent demonstration)
Hello my name is Solvent, and I like my electro funky.
This funky little setup consists of a Roland CR-78 drum machine,
a Moogerfooger FreqBox VCO, with some help from an MFB Urzwerg
analog sequencer, and Ableton Live.
The CR-78 and Urzwerg are synced to Ableton's midi clock. The
CR-78 is going into the FreqBox's audio input. Initially you hear
the dry CR-78, but then I fade the mix, from 100% source to 100%
VCO. The FB's VCO pitch is being sequenced by the Urzwerg, while
at the same time it is hard Sync'd to the CR-78's audio signal. Then
I bring in a audio loop of the same CR-78, recorded into Ableton
just a few minutes before.
If you enjoy analog electronic music &/or gear demos, please be
sure to check out my channel for more.

Salad Bar Version 4 - as healthy as ever!
Every time when a new Soundcells ReFill will be released, Salad Bar will get its next update. And in this way Salad Bar versions 2, 3, 4 etc, will be created. Besides this, Soundcells will also be developing lots of unique 'Salad Bar Only' patches. With the coming of Simple Sampling it was clear that it wouldn´t take very long for Soundcells´ evergrowing Salad Bar ReFill to get its latest update. So they put 20 awesome Simple Sampling patches in there and they also added 15 exclusive Salad Bar patches (60 SB exclusives in total now). With its 220+ combinators this ReFill becomes more and more a fully-fledged workstation. Apart from that it´s a real bargain for the user and an excellent ambassador for Soundcells.
Soundcells' Signature Sound:
Salad Bar's patches will cover all kinds of music styles showing you the very best Soundcells has to offer. It's a great ReFill to get to know Soundcells' work, introducing you to their signature dimension in designing sound.
Salad Bar Contents:
• 227 combinator patches (currently 60 'Salad Bar Only' ones).
• 8 different folders: Atmospheres & Textures, Bass, Keys, Leads, Miscellaneous, Pads, Rhythmic, SaladBar_exclusive.
• The modules folder contains the basic synth and NNXT patches which were used for the combinator sounds.
• 239 well balanced patches for Thor, Malstroem, Subtractor, NNXT and ReDrum.
• 45 rex loops
• 8 tracks in RNS format - inspiring with highl 'tutorialesque' value.

Diego Stocco - Dustland
"Dustland" is a cinematic sounding improv that I recorded with the Fence Bass. This instrument has a rough and edgy sound since it's all made of metal, so I imagined a piece that could work in a modern Western film, I'm a fan of the genre.
Everything is created in real time, no pre-existing loops, additional tracks or post-efx involved. I built a chain of processors in Live that I control with a pedal board, all rhythmic parts and ambiences are derived from whatever sound/noise comes from the Fence Bass.
I hope you'll like it!
The track is available at my Bandcamp page (if you wish to download it for free or name your price): diegostocco.bandcamp.com/track/dustland
It's up also at my Soundcloud page: soundcloud.com/diegostocco/diego-stocco-dustland

52 Reason / Record Tips - Week 48: Malström Filters, Shaper, Mods
You understand the basics of synthesis and have mastered the Subtractor, you've learned about the Malström's unique "graintable sythesis" technique, and now all you need to know to master the Malström is to understand its special filters, shaper, and mods.
To those who have been following along since week one of Synth School, you'll see that I'm picking up the pace a little bit now that you've built a foundation of knowledge. Believe me, we'll need this pace starting next week when we tackle the Thor synthesizer!
But rest assured, by the time we're done you'll know every synth's capabilities, strengths, and routings. And most importantly, you'll be able to think of a sound you want to create, know which synth will get you that sound, and set about making it with skill.

Printz Board Propellerheads Interview
Printz Board, the musical director for The Black Eyed Peas, welcomes us into his self-proclaimed "lab" to witness him creating a song from scratch. In this eye-opening look at the creative process Printz begins like we all do: File -- New. After glancing around the random technology on his desk he settles on an arbitrary title: Rewind. And in a matter of minutes he has built up a catchy song sketch with a hook you're sure to find you self singing after seeing this.
If you've ever found yourself singing nonsense words while trying to come up with a lyric, air drumming to figure out how to program a fill, or meandering through presets until inspiration strikes then you'll definitely want to check this video out. You'll see you're not alone. We kinda all do that stuff.
Kudos to Printz for walking the tightrope without a safety net live on camera. Writing a catchy pop song in minutes is no easy feat.

This can be seen as a departure from other albums but it's not a departure intended to leave people feeling alienated or baffled. It's just a different way to interpret my music and it's an open invitation for anyone that wants to listen.” - Guillermo Scott Herren (Prefuse 73)

52 Reason / Record Tips - Week 46: Subtractor LFOs and Mods
After watching the first two Synth School videos you've probably realized that
the entirety of synthesizer sound design is simply about taking a basic sound
wave and reshaping it with basic tools like filters, amp envelopes, phase, other
oscillators mixed in, etc. This week we'll look at the final piece of the SubTractor
puzzle: LFOs and Performance Modifiers. When you're done this video you will
have everything you need to start creating some seriously unique SubTractor
patches. More importantly, you'll be ready to tackle the more complicated Malström
Graintable synthesizer.
Next week I think you'll be surprised with how much you already know about it
having built a strong foundation in a fundamental synth like SubTractor.

Native Instruments Absynth Tutorial: Sound Design w/ Aetherizer
Dubspot Instructor and Sound Design & Synthesis guru Heinrich Zwahlen takes
you on a journey into the wonderful world of Native Instruments Absynth in this
tutorial video. Heinrich offers tips and techniques for utilizing the Aetherizer filter
effect, a powerful transformation tool you can use to morph raw signals or dull
sounds into something richer, harmonic, ethereal, or whatever mood you'd like
create. In a step by step process, he demonstrates the Aetherizer creative and
transformative possibilities, by morphing a dry Saw tooth into complete harmonic
material; in other words, turning grains into harmonic scales. By the end of this
tutorial, you should be able to navigate the parameters of the Aetherizer effect,
from applying the rate of grains, randomizing pitch, controlling the length and
duration of the grains to feedback, quantizing, and controlling the filter frequency.
Now, it's time to blast off; go forth and synthesize harmonic and padded sounds
from grains!

Dubstep for Alchemy!
Dubstep - a dark blend of wobble basslines, twisted soundscapes and deep sub-basses. This 75-preset sound library is tightly focused on usable dubstep sounds, covering the complete range from sparse minimalism through to mashed-up mayhem. Basses abound, with bucketloads of animated wobble basses, throbbing subs, plenty of grime-laden, squelchy synths, heavyweight drum sounds, plus punchy FX for your builds, drops and transitions.
With over 150MB of new sampled content, Dubstep includes comprehensive kits full of punchy drums and lush FX hits, rich new pad sounds, reverberant soundscapes and glitchy FX. Crank up the tempo to 140bpm and let the inspiration flow!

Sampled Room
This is an example, how to use the basic stuff in your room in such creative
and musician way. Just take some noisy and voiced objects and record them
with any sampler. At the end use all this stuff to create any music u desire. Or...
You even don't need any sampler. Just use your friends, give them gadgets and
transform your party into gizmo-jam-session. I can guarantee much fun. Enjoy!
