You want to play accordion but you didn’t find someone who will teach you every step in this instrument starting from 0?
You have been searching for ineffective videos-that are most of the time wrong- to learn how to play the accordion?Do you think that a 10 minutes video will be enough to understand all the technics and methods to play this instrument?You heard that you need sheet music in front of you to play a song?ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT?
Well, you surely need this course to make things clear:;We are learning to play by ear and not a tutorial on how to play like others. You are going to develop your own method of playing by ear through this course that was structured to start from the beginning. If you already know some accordion or music, no problem. I am sure you can find out some useful informations on how to play by ear or improvise. We are going in this can from a super beginner level, to an advanced level!
There’s more than 100 lectures. What are we going to do through all of those?
The short way of explaining it is: We will learn some basic information, use it to play new pop songs and then use all of this to play by ear. After playing by ear we are going to make it sound fancier by adding some beautiful notes then put a beat to the song that we will form. All of that in our accordion
It’s divided into 15 sections

Introduction

We’ll start by learning the position of holding the accordion, the basic rules while we are playing it, how this instrument works and how to not damage it. Then I will how the course is structured (Sections, lectures and Challenges)

Section 1: Skilling with the right hand
In this section we’ll locate the right hand notes(white + black keys), then we will learn some special keys names. We’ll look into double sharps and flats to understand more how the right hand keyboard works. And surely end it with the BBTC(Big brain Test Challenge) to test your knowledge so you can move to the next section.

Section 2: Scales in accordion music
First thing, we’ll introduce the scale and know there importance in music. We’ll study the how to count steps in music, and learn the difference between Major and minor scales. Why? We’ll need these informations in the play by ear part. Then we’ll learn the piano octave to make our music better +;BBTC.

Section: 3 Right hand intervals
This section introduce us to a new world:;The Intervals. I will teach you what are intervals, how to form them in a way that will help us to develop our musical ear. We’ll end the right hand chapter with a lecture full of songs, so you can discover how to play them in order to enjoy the fun of learning accordion. Don’t forget the BBTC 😉

Section 4: Bass notes-Root Notes Row
We’ll move on to the left hand, understanding the Bass Notes Function, then learning how to play them in a correct way, also how to play scales in the left hand. The best part of this section, is that we’ll start mixing our songs with the left hand, so they will sound better with this good accompaniement.

Section 5: Bass notes-Major Chord Row
In this section, we’ll learn how to form the major chord, then locating it in the left hand (;1 button );to mix it with our songs like Perfect- Ed Sheeran, Easy On Me- Adele. At the end of this section, I will teach you some of my best methods that I’ve learn through the time : The Pattern 4-3-2-3

Section 6: Bass notes-Minor chords
This section will let us discover a new row in the left hand called the minor row: How to build them, locating them, playing them, mix them with our music and don’t forget my method in the minor chords:;The Pattern 4-2-3-2. We’ll play some popular songs like Bella Ciao…

Section 7: Inversions
We’ll learn what are inversions, why we use them, and how to form them. We’ll study many types of them and put them into our music. Then after the BBTC, there’s a lecture full songs that we’ll play them on the accordion!

Section 8: The 7th Chords
I’ll introduce to you the different types of 7th Chords:;Major, minor, dominant…Then we will learn my special pattern(4-2-3-2)that will help us in many types of songs. We’ll also discover the inversions of the 7th Chords +;Practicing some popular songs that are related to this type of Chord

Section 10: The Chords Progression
Here, things are getting more advanced, we’ll start learning how to discover the Chords of a song, by learning first thing the scale degrees of the chords, then discovering the relative Major and minor. We’ll also study together some of the rules and methods that we usually use in the chords progression. This section will prepare us to the play by ear part.

Section 11: Play By Ear- Understand The Basic
The part that we have been waiting for from the beginning of our course!
We’ll discover the specific technic to play by ear (know the song, major or minor, know the key…). This Section will be a bridge that will take us from intermediate to professional, because we’ll start learning pro methods in music! Don’t worry, if you have stick to every lecture before, it will be easy for you to understand what we will do! But If not, you will find it hard to start from the middle of the road

Section 12: Play by Ear- Master The Chords
My favorite section of this course, we will directly learn the way to know every chord of any song that we hear, that I will teach you how to transpose music to another level(if you’re playing with someone, or singing and your voice is not comfortable with the key). We’ll also play a lot of songs so we can enjoy the taste of music

Glitchmachines Palindrome v. 1.3.0 VST3 AU

By | August 1, 2022

Glitchmachines Palindrome

Glitchmachines Palindrome v. 1.3.0 VST3 AU [WIN & MacOS]

PALINDROME – GRANULAR MORPH PLOTTING.

Palindrome is a granular morph plotting sampler geared toward experimental sound design.

The basic concept behind Palindrome is to fuse four granular samplers with a coordinate plotting grid and complex modulation sources in order to facilitate the creation of morphing sound effects and unusual instrument patches.

The plugin’s main grid section facilitates the creation of custom paths that determine the trajectory of a playhead over time. This playhead travels across a user-definable path that corresponds with the outputs of the samplers which are smoothly morphed using a bilinear interpolation algorithm. Palindrome also features 8 user-definable multi-breakpoint modulation envelopes to facilitate the creation of intricate modulation shapes.

With its 4 granular samplers, morph-plotting system, 8 multi-breakpoint modulation envelopes, dual effects processors per sampler, shape presets, 4-note polyphony, deep randomization system, global reverb, 1.4GB sample library and numerous factory presets, Palindrome brings sound designers a powerful new sound sculpting tool.

At the heart of Palindrome are 4 granular samplers which feature new algorithms not available in our other sampler plugins. Each sampler includes a variety of sculpting options, all of which are viable modulation targets. In addition to this, each sampler features the ability to integrate up to two insert effects, which are also assignable as modulation targets. The insert effects include three filter types, two distortion types, ring modulation and delay.

In the center of Palindrome’s UI lies the plotting grid. The grid is a charting framework where you plot up to 16 points that determine the trajectory of a playhead. The grid coordinates of the playhead will determine which sampler outputs are currently audible. As the playhead travels along the path and over the grid zones, Palindrome will smoothly morph between the corresponding sampler outputs using a bilinear interpolation algorithm.

Palindrome Features:

  • 4 Granular Sampler Modules
  • Morph Plotting System
  • 8 Multi-Breakpoint Envelopes
  • 2 insert FX Per Sampler
  • Scalable User Interface
  • Comprehensive Randomizer
  • 70+ Presets & 1.5 GB of Samples
  • Win/Mac VST/AU 32/64bit

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

  • Broadband for download
  • 64bit VST3/AU host: Live, Logic Pro, etc.
  • Mac OS X 10.14+
  • Windows 10+
  • Approx. 1.5 GB of HDD space
  • Minimum 2 GB RAM
  • Minimum CPU: Core 2 Duo, 2GHz

Glitchmachines Polygon v. 2.1.0 VST3 AU

Glitchmachines Polygon v. 2.1.0 VST3 AU [WIN & MacOS]

Polygon 2.0 is a hybrid sampler plugin designed to facilitate the creation of mind-bending composite sound effects and unusual instrument patches.

Polygon 2.0 features a fully re-designed scalable user interface and we have completely revamped nearly every aspect of the plugin.

Polygon’s new granular mode will catapult your samples into uncharted realms while its clean and logical interface, extensive modulation options and powerful new dual oscillator make it an invaluable tool for music production and creative sound design.

With its 4 Granular Samplers, Dual Oscillator with FM, 4 Modulation Sequencers, 8 LFOs, Modulation Utilities, Dual Insert Effects per sampler, Global Filter, Dual Global Effects, Comprehensive Randomizer, Variable Polyphony, specially curated Factory Sample Bank and 100 Factory Presets, Polygon 2.0 brings sound designers and musicians a powerful new sound sculpting instrument.

Technology:

  •  4 Polyphonic Sampler Modules
  •  Granular & Classic Mode
  •  Dual Oscillator with FM
  •  4 Mod Sequencers & 8 LFOs
  •  Modulation Utilities
  •  Global Filters & Effects
  •  Powerful Randomizer
  •  100 Factory Presets
  •  New 1.3 GB Sample Bank
  •  Win/Mac VST3/AU 64bit

At the heart of Polygon 2.0, you will find 4 Sampler modules featuring a new granular mode as well as the classic playback and loop modes found in previous versions of the plugin. Each of these samplers also feature two user-definable insert effects slots. The fully redesigned Dual Oscillator features a modulatable FM section. At Polygon’s core, you will find two redesigned Filters and two user definable Global Effects processors at the end of the signal path. Polygon’s modulation system has also been fully overhauled. It now features a node-based, drag & drop modulation system similar to our other sampler, Palindrome.

The modulation section is now accessible via a new tabbed interface with 4 Modulation Sequencers which feature adjustable curves on a per-step basis, as well as 8 LFOs and a number of unconventional Modulation Utilities. We’ve also implemented a completely redesigned Randomizer panel where you can randomize nearly all of the plugin’s parameters in isolation and/or randomize various groups of parameters simultaneously. For Polygon 2.0, we curated a new 1.3 GB sample bank derived from our latest sound effects products. We also included a wide variety of factory presets from some of our best designers.

Balalaika v2 KONTAKT LIBRARY

Balalaika

Balalaika v2 KONTAKT LIBRARY

In the contest of our previous released string instruments, we have again focused on creating an instrument with a soft and warm sound that will have an organic and realistic feel. It features a “Tremolo-Option “, and this tremolo is controlled over the Mod Wheel. It can create a tragic, dramatic, and highly natural tremolo sound, perfectly fitting in various music styles and genres.

THE BALALAIKA

The Balalaika is a small string instrument which most likely originates from central Asian lute instruments. Nowadays, however, Balalaikas are most closely associated with eastern European, especially Russian music. First mentioned in the 17th Century, it was primarily used for village and folk music, but the Balalaika also started to be included in concert performances in the 19th Century. This even leads to the forming of Balalaika orchestras. Additionally, the Balalaika acquired its iconic triangular shape at that time. The Balalaika we have recorded is a three-stringed prima Balalaika typically tuned in E-E-A tuning.

In the history of our previous released string instruments, we have again focused on creating an instrument with a soft and warm sound that will have an organic and realistic feel. To concentrate on the main articulations of this instrument, we have recorded the Balalaika in the regular “finger plucking” articulation in eight times round robin. This is well suited for playing melodies and offers many more uses. It features a “Tremolo-Option” that is controlled over the Mod Wheel. This tremolo can create a tragic and dramatic but incredibly natural tremolo sound, perfectly fitting in many different music styles and genres. The other articulation which we have captured is the “Strummed”. This is great for accompanying and creating a good backing for your music.

Along with these samples, we have additionally recorded strummed dead notes. You can play those dead notes using our Strumming Engine, which lets you create patterns in an easy and self-explaining way. Furthermore, the Balalaika is equipped with different options to enhance the entire sound with eight types of reverb, some FX features and editing possibilities.

Overall, the Balalaika is an instrument that is easy to use. It offers loads of capabilities to augment your sound with its soft =and organic feel and extremely versatile uses.

Update Note:

With update 2.0, we have added presets and some new features (like Arp) and effects. We have also taken the design to a new level.

Banjo v3 KONTAKT LIBRARY

Banjo v3 KONTAKT LIBRARY

Banjo v3 KONTAKT LIBRARY

We used a 5-String Banjo with a 33 cm diameter mahogany body. We played and recorded the Banjo in many ways to get the typical banjo sound – each in several velocity layers and 2 Round Robin variations. As a result, we came out with a very realistic and organic Banjo.

THE BANJO

Typically, the Banjo is a stringed instrument with four or five strings, a long fretted neck and a circular drum-like body overlaid with parchment – today, drumheads. Its unique sound comes from vibrating the body’s membrane by plucking the strings with the fingers or a plectrum. The Banjo is usually associated with country, folk, classical music, Irish traditional music and bluegrass music.

The Banjo we used is a 5 String Banjo with a 33 cm diameter mahogany body. We played and recorded the Banjo in several ways to get the typical banjo sound – each in several velocity layers and 2 Round Robin variations. After editing and processing the samples, we created a banjo patch that provides various Banjo styles, shortened notes feature, an octaver, a reverb knob, and enhanced scripting. We also added the noises of strumming the Banjo to this patch. As a result, we came out with a very realistic and organic Banjo.
