 Hello, Oswaltysync here, and today I'm very excited to be sharing with you my second free patch pack for the Volgra FM, which is all focused around percussive sounds. So if you're just interested in getting the patches, they're down in the description in this video, and we'll get to demoing the sounds really, really soon. I just wanted to say a couple of words before we get on with that. The first is that I am distributing the patches in two different ways. The first is just a zip file full of MIDI SysX files, which you can just play into the Volgra FM to send the patches to it. But they are also being shared as Synthemata shareable patch links, which is probably the easiest way to get the patches onto the Volgra FM. If you're unfamiliar with Synthemata, it's my free browser-based editor for the Volgra FM. It's what I use to create all these patches. And if you haven't taken a look at it, I'll put a link to a video that's explaining what it's all about just up here. So a couple of words about the sounds themselves. So I've been very careful to call this a percussive patch sound rather than percussion or drums. And that's because I'm not necessarily in these patches trying to emulate a particular drum or percussive or percussion instrument, I should say. Rather, they are percussive style sounds. And in certain cases, for sure, they make good kick sounds or snare sounds or cymbal sounds or bell sounds or whatever. But that's not necessarily the what I was aiming for when I was creating any particular patch. Some of them are much more sort of abstract and weird and some of them are a bit more sort of conventional sounds. So all the patches are kind of designed to be very responsive to the velocity slider. So they're really, really fun to jam out on that. So I'll definitely showcase that during the demos. They also tend to take on quite different characteristics, depending on what octave we are in. So I'll definitely play with the transposed slider in the demos as well. A lot of them also sound really cool with the arpeggiator. So I might use that in some of the demos as well. Also, actually, for that matter, tweaking the modulator in carrier sort of master envelope controls can yield some really interesting results with these patches as well. I will stay away from those just in these demos just because going down a rabbit hole and we'll ever actually finish looking at all the sounds. So I think that's everything I wanted to say. Let's take a listen. OK, so that's the 12 patches in the patch pack. I hope you enjoyed the sounds there and I hope you enjoy using them. Remember, you can download them. The link is in the description of this video. If you enjoy the patches and if you enjoyed this video, please do give it the old thumbs up and make sure you're subscribing so you don't miss out on any more videos on the Volcker FM and synthesis in general. Just letting you know what's coming up on the channel. Well, I got the Volcker kick for Christmas, which you might have noticed. It's already featured in a bunch of videos. So it'll be a bunch more from that. We'll be finishing off the Volcker FM understanding sound design. Got a few more episodes to get through on that. We'll be doing some more patches from scratch videos as well. I will also be doing some sort of sort of tutorial kind of demo things for the Volcker kick, showing how you can use it as essentially a lead mono synth really, not just for kicks, but also how to use it for kicks. I'm also building a new patch pack already for the Volcker FM. It is a kind of FM does analog kind of vibe. It's going to be sort of dirty, sort of squelchy kind of sounds, but sort of in that FM kind of vein. And I'm also planning on doing a sort of sort of mellow patches kind of pack as well. And we'll see, see if we can with that. Otherwise, thanks so much for checking the video out, guys. I really hope you can enjoy the patches and I will see you again soon. Bye.
