MFX Modulations - Ensembles Ensemble & Multi Phaser Plugins


video upload by ALM TV

"‘MFX Modulations’ is a pair of modulation plugins, the ‘Multi Phaser’ and ‘Ensembles Ensemble’ chorus effect both ported from our popular multi effect MFX module and pedal as plugins for use in your favourite DAW.

Both plugins use enhanced DSP code from the MFX hardware with a clean, simple and expanded user interface.

The ‘Multi Phaser’ offers subtle phase shifting for timbral changes, motion, and doubled sounds, with control over notch filters and modulation speed producing various classic phasing and flanging effects. The ‘Ensembles Ensemble’ is a diverse collection of chorus and ensemble effects based on circuits from the 70s and 80s including a built in digital pitch shifter taking the effect beyond a traditional chorus.

In this video we take a quick look at the Multi Phaser and Ensembles Ensemble processing our Motto Akemie FM Drum Plugin and Ableton's 'Analog' synthesizer respectively.

‘MFX Modulations’ is available for purchase now for macOS and Windows. Purchase to get emailed a unique download link.

#404day Roland SP-404MKII | Awakening 2025-04-04 by atnr


video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the ‪@rolandglobal‬ SP-404MKII, ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, and ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Grandmother. Swirling synth lines, guitar, and Kasane Teto’s chorus resonate within the beat.

The rhythm is triggered by controlling the SP-404MKII via MIDI from a DAW. SBF is assigned as the SP-404’s master effect, and the output is routed through the ‪@KORG_INC‬ NTS-3, which provides a looper effect.

The Prophet-10 plays a repeating harmony, with its filter effect added later in the DAW.

On the Grandmother, I perform the bassline.

The guitar is recorded through a SANSAMP BASS DRIVER, then distorted in Ableton Live using overdrive.

Thank you for watching and happy 404day!"

Yamaha TX-802 Digital FM Synthesizer


video upload by Bata

"Quick noodle on a Yamaha TX-802 rackmount synth from the 80s. This is the rack version of the DX-7 mkII. The synth is multitimbral with separate outputs. This uses 2 factory patches that have not been modified. Tracked through a compressor and some reverb and delay has been added."
