And you know what that means, I caved and bought ArcSyn - even though the new 1.3 release is still butt-ugly.

Thank you, haven't received any paypal news yet about your pre-order, I guess there is some sort of lag. I didn't expect you to be in this reading your comments in the Arcsyn thread, so also for you sound rules over graphics

Hmm, well, only just. I'll keep complaining about it

Just finalized this patch and had to play a little impro with it live on video - Penta Waltz, tweaking the modwheel on the fly.

Something a little spooky: improvising with patch Wolves Cry.

short description from the PDF/patchlist:

The glissando range in OSC1 is velocity sensitive (ENV2), so is the envelope modulating the shape/timbre of all 3 oscillators. AT introduces vibrato, MW introduces OSC3 which adds ring modulation glissandos to the sonic picture.

Two fresh patches in action in a rather sick beat, Drum Trio meets Frozen Brain.

Short descriptions from the PDF:

Drum Trio
Three oscillators compose a drum trio sequence in 4/4, the FX section is running in parallel mode, so FX1 processes the kick drum, FX3 adds delays to snare/hi-hat and FX processes both signals. MW introduces slightly randomized, tempo-synced filter modulation.

MW modulates OSC shape in both oscillators and increases cutoff/decreases resonance in both LP filters, AT introduces pitch modulation (via LFO 7/8), PB is set to +/- 12 semitones.

The finishing line for Arrows is just around the next corner, any fence-sitters should pre-order soon, if they wanted to save some cash. ArcSyn rocks!

Every soundset needs one last demo, so here it is - 4 instances of ArcSyn using 4 finalized presets in a polyrhythmic ambient groove track, if you spot the 1 somewhere, let us now (I know it's there somewhere)

I've just released my first soundset for SPC ArcSyn:

Arrows for SPC ArcSyn deeply explores this unique synth, unfolding it's raw and untamed timbres, it's lush and embracing pad sounds, it's dark drones and futuristic textures, expressive leads and intricate tempo-synced sequences, wondrous soundscapes, one-finger-chords, ambient miniatures, brass sounds, keys, crystalline bells, delicate sweeps, punchy basses and plucks and it's expressive vowel filter making for some very human sounding vocal sounds.

Inter-modulating LFOs and well structured LFO-sequences breathe a lot of life into these sounds which can be used for a wide variety of styles as the numerous audio and video examples demonstrate. In quite a few patches all 16 slots in the modulation matrix were used to create complex modulation routings and provide as much user control over a patch as musically sensible.

All patches have the modulation wheel assigned, most also use aftertouch and velocity in order to provide expressively playable synthruments.

Specs:

102 presets (including 3 variations) in the following categories:
*Soundscapes - Drones - Textural – 28
*Sequencer – 19
*Pads – 12
*Leads – 8
*Synth - Brass - Keys - Sweeps – 11
*Bells - Plucks - Stabs – 7
*Bass – 6
*Drums / Percussion – 4
*Sound FX / SciFi – 7

*Price: € 25 EUR
*Delivers: Zip via E-Mail

Product page.

All demos were produced entirely with ArcSyn using only patches from Arrows, no post-processing was applied apart from a limiter on the outputs and some volume automation, if several instances of ArcSyn were used in a track. Only one track uses external reverberation as mentioned in the track title

Here is a first patch walkthrough - letters A-C, it only took me 20+ minutes for 3 letters, LOL
