This video shows how to use Oplab to make your own MIDI instruments from any objects.
For example, a drum kit from your friends, or perhaps a xylophone from sausages?
Click the video to play friends. Enjoy!

Soulsby Atmegatron 8-bit hackable monophonic synth review
Checking out the brand new Atmegatron synthesizers from Soulsby. It’s a crazy little desktop synth with tons of waveforms, 15 filter types, the ability to upload your own waveforms, and even change or hack the OS to turn it into a totally different synthesizer! It has a very different front panel so we go through the layout as well as the sounds and I even show you a few of the unreleased OS versions as well as the official Atcyclatron OS which turns it into a wavetable cyclling synth!

Oberheim OB-Xa sound design tutorial
Vintage synthesizer sound tutorial featuring the Oberheim OB-Xa
part one: the haunting pad sound in Foreigners “Waiting For A Girl Like You”
the sound in the original song is made with the huge Oberheim OB-Xa Analog Synthesizer (1981) and layered with a simple OB sweep pad sound.
very important is the filter resonance (12dB/oct) and the pitch modulation.
Sounds in the series include:
- The Oberheim pad sound from Foreigner’s Waiting for a Girl Like You;
- Ultravox ARP Odyssey lead sound;
- Oberheim OB-X pad sound from Killing Joke’s Love Like Blood; and
- The classic Rush Tom Sawyer Moog Taurus bass sound.

VlnVlaCelBass – Haken Continuum Rival String Instruments for Expression
This video is a demonstration of the VlnVlaCelBass sound on the Continuum Fingerboard, performed by Edmund Eagan. This EaganMatrix string sound has been programmed to take advantage of the Continuum’s fast and accurate pressure sensing. Playing this sound with low velocity finger movement will create a smooth gentle start to each note. After the note starts volume and timbre changes can be applied by changing the pressure on the surface.
When played with a harder finger velocity, the sound gets more aggressive in it’s attack. This is due to the inclusion of timbre data that represents a real string attack.
The name of the sound includes the four names of the orchestral string family, violin, viola, cello, and double bass, reflecting the combined pitch range of these instruments. The sound is equally convincing and expressive at all pitches, even at the extremes.
Pressing the first foot pedal activates a mono mode which makes it easier to play fast monophonic intervals, such as whole tone or minor third trills.
The overall tonal character of the instrument can be changed by moving the Size barrel. Lower values of Size will create a larger sounding instrument, higher values a smaller one.
The VlnVlaCelBass uses the GrainSilo in the EaganMatrix, with a timbre element called Vla Sustained. The original source for this timbre element came from the first 100 milliseconds of a single note preformed by Rudolf Haken on a Pellegrina 5 string viola. This 100 milliseconds contains essential attack and sustain spectra. Through the power of the EaganMatrix formula structures, control of the timbre elements reference point, fundamental, spectral rolloff, spectral shift, and amplitude is mapped to the playing surface. The three dimensional performance of each finger can translate into exquisite control of this finite piece of data.
