haaaii i do shit on this blog now i think. DAY 1

hi. i think i will be posting about my efforts in making my vocal synth covers.

right now ive been working on two covers simultaneously: "girl lover" by nauo (vocal: tsurumaki maki) and "mixing juice" by ryu yoshida/nadashizuku (vocal: hanakuma chifuyu). i might work on another song cover later.

my friend (@beabops, shes very cool please check her out) has a "koisuru fortune cookie" by AKB48 cover file that i intend on making use of sometime... not sure what vocals to use.

i use UTAU and SynthV Pro primarily, but once i have a proper computer i plan on buying other synth programs, namely a secondhand of the VOCALOID5 editor + Maghni AI. i don't have any interest in V6's AI functionality shit or whatever they've barely added to the program.. i really want to purchase Xin Hua V4 JPN as my first voicebank though. she's my favorite after all :)

other vocals i really want to purchase down the line - Yumemi Nemu - IA V3 - CYBER DIVA II - v4flower - anon + kanon - Tone Rion V4 synthv section of vocals - Tsurumaki Maki - Yi Xi - Xia Yu Yao - Eleanor Forte - Hanakuma Chifuyu - Natsuki Karin - Koharu Rikka - NYL - Tsuina-chan

thats all for now i think!! i want to try to look into masculine vocals too, but i don't know... i'll think about it if the idea comes to mind, y'know? for now, the covers i wanna do involve feminine vocals.

if we really lived in a cyberpunk dystopia then spam blogs would be called synthblogs or something

Small update from my beloved project moving along. Studiodesk build in progress and in its finish stages. Looking forward to make ergonomic work space around my work. It is just the time to get anything reconnected to continue making music. Without playing the keys, I feel just to be half the way of a person.

Azure Studios - Little SaMple PaCk

Just purchased a sample pack that I'd like to recommend from the Azure Studios at Bandcamp. It is called the Foundations I and is free of copyright, so you can use it in your productions.

The other one is not a sample pack but a sound bank for the Novation Summit Synth and is in combination to Foundation I, a stellar product that offers you 60 sounds in the bank with a wonderful sound design. It is called the Temporal Flux.

Both together are less than a €20.- which is a super offer. Thanks, Azure Studios and I hope you will have some more such of good offers in the future.

MOOG

The history of Moog is a fascinating journey through the evolution of electronic music. Founded by Robert Moog in 1953, the company gained prominence with the introduction of the Moog synthesizer in the 1960s, a groundbreaking instrument that revolutionized music production. The Moog synthesizer's modular design allowed musicians to shape and manipulate sound in unprecedented ways, contributing to the emergence of electronic music genres.

In 1964, the iconic Moog Modular Synthesizer made its debut, attracting attention from avant-garde composers and progressive rock musicians. Wendy Carlos's album "Switched-On Bach," released in 1968, further popularized Moog synthesizers, showcasing their versatility and expressive capabilities.

The 1970s saw the release of more compact and affordable synthesizers, such as the Minimoog Model D, which became a staple in popular music. Moog's impact extended beyond music, influencing film soundtracks and shaping the sonic landscape of the era.

Despite financial challenges, the Moog legacy endured, and the brand experienced a revival in the 21st century. In 2002, Bob Moog reacquired the Moog Music name, and the company continued to produce innovative synthesizers, including the Voyager and subsequent models.

The Moog brand became synonymous with high-quality analog sound and craftsmanship, appealing to both vintage enthusiasts and contemporary musicians seeking classic warmth. In 2015, Moog released the Moog Model 15 app, bringing the iconic modular experience to the digital realm.

Moog's commitment to education and innovation is evident through initiatives like the Moog Foundation, dedicated to preserving Bob Moog's legacy and inspiring future generations of electronic music creators. The company remains at the forefront of synthesizer technology, balancing tradition and innovation in the rapidly evolving world of electronic music.

DAY 2 OF VOCAPOSTINGGG

i didn't do anything of vocaloiding today. because i had work and i had to do the dishes. but that is ok because im spinning ayashiki in my head like a little orb.

do you know ayashiki... probably not he's a very fashionable little guy. let me show you him.

hes the guy ever... i like this user's utau a lot!!

if you're big into utau spaces, ayashiki was made by the same person who made minasobi seragi

i like minasobi seragi a lot too, but i have a thing for red/black/white palettes + i like ayashiki's VBs a lot more.

i also have katanashi zuu downloaded too!

isn't she cool?! her design is so fun...

anyways, if you're interested, check out the user's wixsite! their VBs might seem "low quality" but anyone can turn something into something awesome if you put your best foot forward.

reason i might not get as much progress as i'd like is because i work at a restaurant and then i have my dad pestering me 24/7 when i get home from work, so for a really neurodiverse guy like me it takes a lot just to do a little y'know... (i mean you're on tumblr there's no doubt you understand LMAO)

in the meantime i will be posting doodles. i want to make doodles of characters that my friends like. :)

This is a stellar homebrew DIY monosynth project accomplished after a year of intensive work performed by Justin Janczakowski. Congratulations and I hope this project will mature into a great product.

Valhalla Supermassive Free

The reverb at the end of the universe and entirely free of charges. I have strated to purchase the fair price and legendary plugins a couple of years ago without any regret and still use them, specifically the Vintage Verb.

Sean Costellos latest plugin is big and it covers networks of delays up to two seconds. This plug in goes from lush shorter reverbation all the way up to epic stretches of minutes at a time.

Valhalla Supermassive is designed to blow your mind and your music to new levels of consciousness and experience! Luscious clouds of reverb, otherworldly delays, swelling waves of feedback unlike any you’ve heard before.

Valhalla Supermassive has been designed from the ground up for MASSIVE delays and reverbs. There are multiple models built-in, so that one can describe this as a combination of effects in one. It’s very unique and one can not just use this plugin as a polish for a finished track but as an instrument by its own.

Supermassive uses a variety of feedback delay networks, where each delay in the structure can be up to 2 seconds long. Combine these long delays with the unique WARP control, and the results range from echoes that slowly fade in, to cascading harmonic echoes, to lush reverbs, onwards to reverbs that decay way over the course of minutes.

Features:

- Tempo synced delays, up to 2 seconds

- Multiphase delay modulation

- DENSITY control, that allows you to dial in pointillistic echoes, lush reverbs, echo clusters, and all sorts of sounds in between.

- Eight unique delay/reverb MODES, named after celestial objects:

- Gemini: Fast attack, shorter decay, high echo density.

- Hydra: Fast-ish attack, shorter decay, low to high echo density (depending on the DENSITY control setting)

- Centaurus: Medium attack, longer decay, medium to high echo density (depending on the DENSITY control setting)

- Sagittarius: Slow attack, longer decay, high echo density

- Great Annihilator: Medium attack, very long decay, medium to high echo density (depending on the DENSITY control setting)

- Andromeda: Slowest attack, very long decay, very high echo density

- Lyra: Fast attack, shorter decay, low echo density

- Capricorn: Fast attack, shorter decay, medium echo density

- Cross-platform preset browser
