ONEIROI // An Experimental Soundscape Synth (Patreon)

An Experimental Soundscape Synth for Eurorack // ONEIROI from BEFACO

Here we have the highly anticipated ONEIROI from Befaco who say that it is a “experimental synth voice focused on ambient pads and drone-like soundscapes”. Working entirely in stereo we have oscillators, sines, supersaws, wavetables, a varispeed looper, input instrument interfacing, filtering, combs, resonators, echos, ambience, reverbs and lots of CV control. In this video we take a methodical approach to going through Oneiroi’s features and sounds with lots of musical examples throughout. Check out the timing index below so you skip through the chapters to listen to and learn everything you could desire. *THINGS MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO* Oneiroi manual // https://www.befaco.org/ Roland JP-8000 // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_JP-8000 Schroeder Reverb // https://valhalladsp.com/2009/05/30/schroeder-reverbs-the-forgotten-algorithm/ *SUPPORT* If you'd like to support work like this and the wider range of what I do, considering heading over to Patreon at https://bit.ly/DK-patreon and supporting for as little as $1 a month to gain access to the DivKid Discord community, plus lots of exclusives such as PDF patchbooks, videos and more. https://bit.ly/DK-patreon *AFFILIATE LINKS* use these to support my channel!
