A short little ambient tune inspired by our fellow posters. Sounds from S6 with a bit of reverb. In this piece I was particularly focused on resonance.

This sounds beautiful, but you should build this up into something longer !

Thanks, hehe! My ability to complete tracks seems to diminsh as I age… seriously I fiddle around too much on my S6.

I find that working in iterations with someone else usually helps completing tracks.

A little hodgepodge of patches while learning Ableton Live. All sounds are from Super 6 but some did a detour thru eurorack. It started as some kind of suspense theme but somehow dnb (without the drums) took over :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Epic! are these factory patches? The glittering high frequencies are stunning.

Cheers for your encouragement :slight_smile: I´ve never really used the standard patches as I enjoy creating patches.

As I´ve learned the Super 6 I´ve found the following worked well:

  • Volume gain on Super 6 with VCA level as high as possible. Standard patches as a result can sound muted in comparison since I gained my audio interface to my prefered volume. Usually combined with Drive mode I.
  • Velocity modulation of filter cutoff (and more). Especially with an external keyboard with semi/weighted keys. Super 6 keys I find too light. Combined with resonance you can get some nice timbres by varying key pressure.

You should make a soundbank of patches and put them up for sale. I would happily buy them as I already grabbed your free ones and they are great.

A short sunday track using the Super 6 sequencer. I’m quite happy with the pluck sound which uses dds-1 in super mode - nice and snappy. If it hadn’t been such a lazy afternoon the song might have been a tad longer too :slight_smile:

Running the full gamut in bamboo, bottles, metal cans, to handpan. Performance tweaking the controls while sequence was running. Controls in use: pwm, cross mod, freq, env1-a/s/r, env2-r, portamento

It’s criminal you’ve not made a soundset for purchase yet.

I’m personally not that focused on preset patches. It’s more fun to tinker and experiment then stumble upon something interesting. But since there were a few request I plan on adding a bank on patchstorage. I’ll bump my other thread when it is updated.

Here’s one organ instrument I’m particularly pleased with. The resonance adds a lot of character and beatings. The second Glockenspiel instrument is the same organ with controls slightly adjusted.

YESSSSSS!

The sequencer is a good friend if you want to explore the S6 sound space. If you’re lazy you can even fake a whole songs with a simple repeating pattern :slight_smile: In the song below I have a polyphonic sequence playing. Most of the movement comes from slowly adjusting the VCF controls while the pattern plays. It also occured to me I had rediscovered some Tangerine Dream music.

One additional sequencer song playing nice with a heavy reverb tail from oto bam. Slowly changing the vcf controls brings out interesting nuances in the sound.

Stunning. This really is the best sounding synth out there, it’s insanely classy.

While trying to create a nice pad on the Gemini it went off track into some dystopian scifi drone. Layer 1 is a sequencer beat. Layer 2 is several notes held while gently moving controls.

I’m really getting into drone composition on the Super 6; it’s such a versatile instrument. I’ve only had the synth for a few weeks and have yet to get deep into the modulation matrix and sequencer for making more programmatic changes to the drone through the piece; just doing everything manually for the moment (though that’s quite satisfying in itself).
