Ein neuer Synth-Wettbewerb mit einem genialen Synthesizer: Whispair, einmal mehr aus der genialen Softwareschmiede @full-bucket / Björn, un der Gewinner der 2021 KVR Developer Challenge!
Ich hatte die Ehre der Beta-Tester zu sein ... und eine OSC mit dem Synth wollte ich mir nicht entgehen lassen :)

Wer den Whispair nicht kennt:
- WavetableSynth
- 3 OSCs mit 37 Standardwellenformen + die Möglichkeit eigene Wellenformen zu laden
- 3 Filtertypen
- 4 Envelope Generatoren
- Modulationen sind einfach zuzuweisen
- Unisono mode und Chorus
- alle Parameter auf einer einzigen Seite anpassbar (!!!), nichts mit mehrstufigen Tabs oder Seiten um die richtigen Parameter zu finden
- CPU-Seitig sehr entspannend ;)

Alle in diesem Stück verwendeten Klänge sind von mir von Grund auf erstellt worden. Die Presets werde ich bald veröffentlichen.

Viel Spass beim reinhören und Kommentare: wie immer, herzlich willkommen:)

If you don't know the FB7999: just take a look and read my description in the Demotrack 
https://soundcloud.com/kraftraum/kraftraum-trifft-fullbucket-roboterwerk-fb7999
With this piece I'm also continue the series Roboterwerk, let's see what's coming here in the future ;-)

All of the sounds used in this piece were created by me from scratch. I will publish the presets soon.

Kraftraum - Rotation 34 (Roboterwerk#2)

Here's another collection of out and out jazz tunes, probably my last as I've done all I wanted to do in this genre now. Again, I had a LOT of fun putting these together, I hope you enjoy them too.

Nach langer Zeit (uhh, mehr als ein Jahr ... :( hat @Full-Bucket/Björn mich angesprochen, ob ich einen Beta-Test machen möchte. Naja: wer kann dem Master der 80er Simulationen schon nein sagen ;)

Durch den Beta-Test haben sich (mal wieder) einige Sound und Musikideen im Kopf festgesetzt ... und damit auch für den Demo-Track für den Bucket ONE.

Der Synthesizer ist eine Emulation des Crumar BIT 01/99 ... und klingt toll!

@full-bucket teilt den Synthesizer kostenlos mit allen (Spenden sind bei Björn herzlich willkommen), zu finden unter https://www.fullbucket.de/music/bucketone.html.

Meine Highlights des Synth:
- Super Klang
- 2 OSC mit 3 (mischbaren) Wellenformen
- 1 zuschaltbarer Noise-Generator
- Aufgebohrt von 6 auf max. 64 Stimmen
- Tolles, eigens User-Interface (nichts mit dem 80er Jahre Charme; wer will kann aber trotzdem das alte Interface nutzen)
- Mal wieder: super niedrige CPU-Auslastung (perfekt programmiert)
- frei erhältlich.

Alle Presets in diesem Track wurden von mir mit dem Synth von Grund auf erstellt. Die Presets für diesen Track stelle ich Björn exklusiv unter "23 for BucketOne" zur Verfügung, demnächst zu finden unter https://www.fullbucket.de/music/bucketone.html.

Bitte beachtet: die Sounds in der Demo sind mit Delays, Eqs und teilweise auch mit einem Gate veredelt worden. Es wurde keine Automation verwendet. Weitere Presets werden folgen.

Viel Spaß beim reinhören und Kommentare sind wie immer herzlich willkommen:)

After a long time (uhh, more than a year ... :( @Full-Bucket/Björn asked me if I would like to do a beta test. Well: who can say no to the master of the 80s simulations ;)

Through the beta test some sound and music ideas got stuck in my head (again) ... and so here is the demo track for the Bucket ONE.

The synthesizer is a Crumar BIT 01/99 emulation... and sounds great!

@full-bucket shares the synthesizer with everyone for free (donations are warmly welcomed by Björn), which can be found at https://www.fullbucket.de/music/bucketone.html.

My highlights of the synth:
- Great sound
- 2 OSC with 3 (mixable) waveforms
- 1 switchable noise generator
- Bored from 6 to max. 64 voices
- Great, special user interface (nothing with the 80s charm, but if you want: you can still use the old interface)
- Again: super low CPU usage (perfectly programmed)
- freely available.

All the presets in this track were made by me from scratch using the synth. I make the presets for this track available to Björn exclusively under "23 for BucketOne", which can be found soon at https://www.fullbucket.de/music/bucketone.html.
Please have in mind: the sounds in the track are mastered with delays, EQs and in some cases with a trance-gate. No Automation have been used in the Demo-Track. More presets will follow.

Have fun listening and comments are always welcome :)

Kraftraum trifft Fullbucket

KR trifft FB - 3xMusik (Bucket ONE)

OF COURSE Is a tender, introspective track that explores the quiet conversations we have with ourselves when no one else is listening. With airy synths, gentle guitar strums, and a voice that floats like a whispered confession, the song drifts through themes of longing, quiet ambition, and the delicate line between hope and disillusionment.



OF COURSE

Twilight

Stigma ... ein spannender Name für einen Synthesizer der bereits als Sigma in Hardware
gegossen wurde. Björn (@full-bucket) hat einen super Nachbau des Originalsynthesizers erstellt, Hut ab!

Der Synth
- simuliert einen den Korg Sigma mit allen Facetten und noch ein paar eingebaute Schmankerls von Björn,
- die Bedienung grossartig ist,
- soundmässig ist das Teil grossartig und kann auch (sehr) dreckig klingen kann,
- der CPU-Hunger ist für die Menge an Sounds unter einem Synth vergleichsweise gering ist.

Dieser Demotrack soll nur kurz darstellen was alles mit dem Synth machbar ist. Die Presets selber
sind von mir von Grund auf erstellt worden. Ich gebe Sie Björn zur exklusiven Veröffentlichung auf 
deiner Webpage https://www.fullbucket.de/music/stigma.html :)

Viel Spass beim reinhören und Kommentare sind wie immer herzlich willkommen:)

Stigma ... an exciting name for a synthesizer already known as Sigma in hardware
Björn (@full-bucket) has created a super replica of the original synthesizer, hat up!

The Synth
- simulates the Korg Sigma with all facets and a few built-in delicacies from Björn,
- the operation is great,
- sound is the part great and can (also) very dirty,
- the CPU hunger is comparatively low for the amount of sounds under a synth.

This Demotrack is only to show briefly what is possible with the Synth. The presets themselves have been created by me from the ground up. I will give it away to Björn for the exclusive release on his 
website https://www.fullbucket.de/music/stigma.html :)

Have fun while listening and comments are welcome as always :)

It was only yesterday
I thought it was just us
Destined to stay hidden in the woods
I’d marveled at the prospect
Of there being more
But now we’ve found them do I trust them?
I’m not sure
They might have the answers
They might just keep us safe
Confiding in them could be the biggest
Mistake we’ll ever make
They might lead us to victory
They might even take us home
But something doesn’t feel right
About that leader in my bones

I have felt so hopeless
As if I can’t go on
And these people seem OK to me
Do you really think there’s something wrong?
They might have the answers
They might just keep us safe
And I’m willing to take that risk
Let’s leave it all to fate
They might lead us to victory
They might even take us home
It’s better than facing the enemy alone
Alone
Alone

Maybe I’m just being a little paranoid
But I can’t shake off this feeling, he’s someone to avoid
Let’s just take it one day at a time, see how things pan out
If you trust him then I’m willing to give him a chance
In spite of my doubt

A timeless classic treated poorly, enjoy.

Dynamo Snackbar

I’m Joe Lythgoe, music is my religion. 

Dynamo Snackbar’s music is based in 70’s ambient electronica from the Berlin & Düsseldorf schools, although it crosses over into some genres of rock, for example space rock and progressive rock. 

Also amalgamated into the Dynamo Snackbar sound are the more modern influences of dance music from the 90's on wards, so you will also find four-on-floor, hip-hop and break-beats infused with the Tangerine Dream/Schulze influenced sequencers and rock guitars.

So if you’re into: - 

Krautrocking

Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Ashra, Neu, Novalis, Schicke Fuhrs & Frohling, Amon Duul II, Can, Grobschnitt, Kraftwerk, The Cosmic Jokers

Or Non Krautrocking

Also combined with Trance, Breakbeat, Hip-Hop, Chill-Out and Techno beats, you may just like what you hear here!
