Vulture Culture on Leviasynth, FM Synthesis, and Iconic Presets

Описание: Alex from Vulture Culture is back! We dig into the Leviasynth, factory patch design, FM madness, analog filters, and why some presets hit while others fall flat. If you’re into DX7 envelopes, D‑50 nostalgia, Wave Station magic, or the eternal “are iconic presets dead?” debate… this one’s for you.

We also go behind the scenes on unreleased hardware, prototype quirks, and the creative chaos of designing sounds before anyone else has touched the synth.
