Audio demo 1 Loop, where is it? We all know the feeling: the sample folder is so full of loops that the mere thought of listening through all the sounds in a single category puts you in a bad mood. The search for acoustic treasures often leads to nothing and is frustrating. But what if there was a tool that could make even the most boring loops sound awesome? 2 As bad as it gets Since we‘re already putting Zyklop to work, it‘s really not important to choose the best-sounding loop or one-shot. It tends to help if the loop sounds as dry as possible, meaning it doesn‘t have effects like reverb or delay on it yet. Then the resynthesis engine won‘t get lost in reverb nirvana. 3 Drag and…

Audio demo 1 I hate my voice Many producers who record themselves know this: no matter how fat the beat, the track how epic, if you want to record vocals, the whole thing quickly stumbles. Too inexperienced, too insecure, overly sensitive neighbors, not the right gear… The reasons are manifold, and the off-key, muffled-sounding vocal recording seems relentless 2 Better than Auto-Tune? For this reason alone, I can‘t demonize vocal tools like Melodyne or Auto-Tune, as they have given countless producers more confidence with their voices. But both have their limitations. Auto-Tune in particular, whether in trap with fast ReTune speed or glassy like Cher, sometimes distorts the voice to the point of a robot. 3 Vocoflex A tool like Vocoflex goes a step further, making your voice sound completely…

» Every element in my setup and every place has a specific function, nothing is just for decoration. « Beat /You focused on your other project NIN3S over the past few years. How come UNER is now back in focus? UNER / Life moves in cycles. NIN3S was a necessary journey for me, a profound personal exploration beyond the dance floor, a space where I could deconstruct my artistic identity and rebuild it from a completely different perspective. I needed that. But energy is never static, and after these years of self-reflection, I felt drawn back to UNER. It‘s not about returning to something familiar, but connecting with a new understanding. The depth, complexity, and emotional range I explored with NIN3S, I now bring into the club space, linking the spiritual…

1 A Loop and a Beat Let‘s first build a working foundation as an introduction. Programming a beat in a vacuum is possible, but it‘s quite dry and only half the fun. So, we‘ll take two loops from the pack Synth Vault Vol. 1 by Matthew S from issue 232 as a basis. A synth arpeggio, a pluck - endless Caribbean vibes! 2 Battery Groove Logic’s Drums are already more than sufficient in many areas, but if you want your beats for Hip Hop or Electronic genres to be a bit punchier and more defined, the old lady Battery 4 from Native Instruments is still one of the best on the market. I programmed the beat with the kit Going Deeper. 3 Multi-Output Routing If you were to apply a…

1 Aural Flow Percussion loops that rhythmically embellish the four-to-the-floor Kick are a dime a dozen. For this episode, we took a loop from the pack Duality Rhythmic Fragments by the producer Aural Flow. Aural Flow was kind enough to provide us with the pack for Beat #232. He is a Bitwigger, so it fits perfectly! 2 Harmonic Split Harmonic Splits automatically detects the distribution of harmonics in the source signal. You can set this somewhat hidden on the right side of the effect next to Harmonics. Should only the fundamental, that is, the root note, be heard at the top, with the rest below? Or just the even harmonics at the top, with the odd ones below? You determine the distribution here. 3 Nonharmonics In addition to two channels…

Noir & Haze vs. Meduza - Around: Lead/Bass w/Diva 1 Back in 2011 ‚Around‘ has been around for quite a few years. The original was released in 2011, and the Solomon Vox version of this House track instantly became a classic; first in Ibiza and then in the rest of the world. This collaboration between Danish producer, Noir, and Malaysian musician, Haze, enchanted the club world with its bittersweet melancholy. 2 Meduza Remix Now the Italians from Meduza have made the track significantly fatter, more ‚clubby‘, and punchier in their Extended Remix for the release on Defected Records. The trio has already remixed songs by Ed Sheeran or Faithless with great success. But their own tracks like ‚Paradise‘ or ‚Piece of Your Heart‘ were also extremely successful. 3 125 BPM…

The DSP-based Class-D studio monitor features a newly designed silk dome tweeter (40W) and a special 5“ woofer (50W) made from selected sustainable, robust paper fibers. The design is characterized by the color of the woofer, the strong orange has now become a trademark of ESI products. Also hard to overlook are the front-facing openings of the bass reflex system. This is especially beneficial in small desktop studios, as it allows placement in corners and near walls without unwanted bass waves. ESI offers an optional mount for the speakers, which is especially practical when using multiple speakers in a multichannel surround setup. The mounting is done laterally left and right via an M6 screw. The housing is quite deep for a 5-incher; this should be taken into account for a…

The idea is logical, as a manufacturer with expertise in the Eurorack arena, to bring a modular version of the company‘s successful DRM1 model to the market. The result here makes a great impression immediately when unpacking and first touching it. The nine controls sit firmly in their positions, have a pleasant resistance, are grippy, the position is easy to read, and overall feel very high quality. The same applies to the remaining components. The two push buttons, the toggle switch, and even the jacks are positively noticeable. It is obvious that high-quality components were used here. With a width of 14 HP, they haven‘t created the slimmest module, but they have created a clear and tidy control interface. First tactile and optical conclusion: Top! BASS|DRUM In the upper part…

An analog orchestra at your fingertips: PolyBrute 12 For those who crave the rich warmth and dynamic depth of analog synthesis, the Arturia PolyBrute 12 stands as a true flagship. Building upon the legacy of its acclaimed predecessor, this 12-voice behemoth offers an unparalleled level of sonic sculpting.

The common thread: Beat magazine 07/2025 For many years, Beat has been inspiring its readers not only with practical and musical topics, but above all with the tight integration of editorial content. From the very beginning, Beat has been about creating, about the structured building of ideas and the common thread – in the magazine as well as in the tracks. This navigator shows you the highlights of this issue andallows you to see the big picture. Masterclass: Sound Synthesis Sound design is more than just synthesis! AI voices and sample resynthesis sound futuristic, but how do you use this power to create sounds directly from imagination? Sounds like your own vocals without singing talent or transforming samples without rights issues. This guide provides you with the essential tools and…

Audio demo 1 Set the behavior Load the global initial preset in the top left and activate the bypass for Layer 2. In Layer 1, set the Attack to about 35 percent, the Decay to about 50 percent, and the Velocity to 60 percent in Expression Control. To the right of the Analyzer, you‘ll find two sliders for Envelope and Continuous Control. Set these to approximately 30 and 40 percent, respectively. 2 Simulate the bow To simulate the bow of our violin, we‘ll use the Noise Generator. Select „Blue Noise“ from the presets in the top right corner of the module. Set the Gain to about 25 percent and the EXP Amount to about 90 percent. You can then fully turn up all the resonators in the mixer below so…

1 Build the Beat First, create a new Cubase project with a moderate tempo like 110 BPM. Load Groove Agent SE 5 and create a drum kit with the Weird Drums from Tunnel Of Reverb. Play or program a beat with it as a rhythmic foundation. To give your track a bit more drive, the loops from Aural Flow‘s pack are predestined for this. 2 Add Percussion Suitable options include 04 AF or 10 AF Duality Rhythmic Fragments. Activate the Music Mode in the Sample Editor so the loop follows the project tempo. As a good rhythmic complement, we use the Sample S Noise Percussion from Matthew S‘s pack on an additional track. Turn on the Music Mode and slice it into eighth-note snippets. 3 We need bass! Set Fade-Out…

1 Copyright! First of all: As in all media in the world, the videos on TikTok are also subject to copyright. Publishing sampled passages without the permission of the creators is, therefore, strictly prohibited. Here‘s another tip: If you have created a cool remix, just ask the creator if a co-op or feature would be cool. 2 Base material Downloading is not possible directly from TikTok, but websites like Snaptikvideo [2] not only allow you to download clips, but also make an MP3 out of them. And that‘s what we want. Reason can also import MP4 files, but in our case, the audio tracks were always full of dropouts, doubles and hangs after the import. 3 Sample slicing Once the MP3 is imported, we need the appropriate tempo. Reason is…

1 Load Performance Rack Select the main track. Then press the Add Device button + and navigate to Device -> Pack -> Core library -> Racks -> Audio effects -> Performance and DJ. Select the effect rack, Washed Out, there. With it, you can generate an intense reverb and delay effect that completely blends the individual tracks. 2 Test the effect To test the effect, start a scene and slowly turn up Amount of the Washed Out rack. You will hear how the individual instruments become increasingly interwoven. Now you can start a new scene or another song. If you quickly turn Amount back, you have created a musically interesting transition. 3 Extend with Auto Filter To amplify the effect, add an Auto Filter and move it in front of…

GoGo Penguin: Necessary Fictions With „Necessary Fictions“, the Manchester trio GoGo Penguin explores new soundscapes and, for the first time, combines its cinematic jazz style based on piano, bass, and drums with guests such as the eight-member Manchester Collective string ensemble or singer-songwriter Daudi Matsiko. The increased use of modular synthesizers and the reduction of virtuosity in favor of clear, melodic structures give the band sound a new lightness. Much of it feels unusually accessible, often almost cheerful - ergo a confident step towards a more open sound that still sounds more playful than 99% of all other bands. The foundation is a mix of Jazz, classical, and electronic music, yet the trio‘s experimental spirit leaves room for surprises, so „Necessary Fictions“ is likely to reach all those who like…

Novation Bass Station – Bold, Booming, and Buzzing The original Novation Bass Station, launched in 1993, is celebrated for its raw, punchy, and unmistakably analogue character. Designed during a period when digital synthesisers dominated, the Bass Station brought analogue warmth and grit back into the spotlight, making it a cult favourite among producers. The Novation Bass Station by GForce, whilst remaining sonically faithful to the original, has been extensively enhanced. It delivers a sound as powerful and textured as the iconic Roland TB-303® that its 24dB filter is meant to emulate. Its distinctive filter sweeps and lively oscillators allow for expressive bass lines and leads, from smooth, rounded tones to biting, edgy textures. Key features: • Enhanced Signal Path: Sub OSC, FM, noise, LFO sync & retrig, discreet key tracking…

What is CEN2RION? The u-he CEN2RION is a versatile scanning mixer for audio and CV signals in modular synthesizers. It features two layers (A and B). Both share six inputs that can be mixed to their individual mono outputs. The SELECT knob determines the central input channel routed to the output, while the WIDTH knob sets how many adjacent inputs are included in the mix. CEN2RION offers three main operating modes: DUAL, LINK, and SPLIT. In DUAL mode, the layers operate independently. The LINK mode couples the settings of Layer B to Layer A, with Layer B‘s knobs functioning as a bipolar offset. The SPLIT mode divides the inputs between the layers (1-3 for Layer A, 4-6 for Layer B) and is intended for stereo mixing. The module is DC-coupled…

Audio demo 1 Load a sample Click the icon in the top left next to the browser and select Load Init Patch to start with a new preset. Then drag an instrument sample into Novum, ideally with a constant pitch, such as Orchestra-C3 [1]. The sound is split into six layers that you can edit individually. These are visualized as waveforms. 2 Atomic layer Use the small power buttons to mute all layers except the first. To be able to adjust the Grains section parameters individually for each layer, we‘ll deactivate the Link option on the Timbre page. Reduce Size for shorter sound particles and a more rhythmic texture, and increase Density for a denser sound. 3 Adjust the timbre In Sync mode, the generation of the grains is synchronized to the project…

1 Base tone and tempo Most beats by Miksu/Macloud, like most current German Rap productions, are between 130 and 140 BPM. Set the tempo to around 135 BPM and choose a key that is consistently maintained as you progress to ensure that 808s, chords, and melodies harmonize. For optimal bass frequencies, keys between E and A are recommended. 2 Select main sample The central component of many Miksu/Macloud beats is a strong melodic loop sample. Choose a sample with a clear mood – for example, melancholic or mysterious. A modern sound with a catchy melody is important. Pitch or time-stretch it if necessary, so that it fits the desired tempo and key. 3 Structure drums Place a solid Kick and a Trap Clap as shown in the picture. Program the…

1 Sub bass sound design Load an Operator. Set Transpose to -24. Select the algorithm where AB and CD run in series. Set the number of voices Voices to 1. Select a sine wave for Oscillator A and set the Level to -12 dB. Increase the global Volume to -8 dB. For a softer attack, set Attack to 5.5 ms and the Velocity modulation to 0%. 2 Make sub feelable Program a short Sub Bass clip with tones between 30 and 60 Hz, meaning around C1 to C2. These frequencies are felt more than heard. On good speakers, this sounds rich, but on small devices, they are barely audible. To make the sub bass come through even there, overtones between 60 and 200 Hz need to be added. 3 Increase…

These earphones come professionally packaged in a compact case. As the in-ears cannot be used with earmolds that are individually adapted to your ear canal, we were particularly interested in the attachments supplied. This is because a clean seal against the outside world is extremely important for earphones that are inserted directly into the ear in order to block out unwanted external noise. Different attachments Fortunately, Beyerdynamic has put some thought into this and equipped the series with 5 pairs of silicone tips and 3 pairs of memory foam tips, each in different sizes. I particularly liked the memory foam attachments, which expand to fit your ear canal after insertion. They are comfortable to wear, do not slip even with vigorous movements, and seal well. Musicians and producers with unusually…
