Ambient jam | NDLR, Artemis, Deckard's Dream, Peak, Prophet Rev2, Polymoon, Slöer

A song performed live on the table with four great polysynths.

It felt like the right time of year to get a bunch of nice synths on the table and just explore. To that end, I connected the Dreadbox Artemis (bass), Sequential Prophet Rev2 (square arp motif), Novation Peak (pad), and Black Corporation Deckard's Dream (melodic motif) to the Conductive Labs NDLR and just had fun. The Artemis and Peak have pretty great built-in effects, but the Deckard's and Rev2 needed some help, so I added the Meris Polymoon to the Rev2 and the Walrus Slöer to the Deckard's.

This was my first time using the new hardware iteration of the NDLR — to be transparent, Conductive Labs sent it over for free — but it was a real step up in terms of the quality of the encoders. And it had been a couple of years since I had played with the Peak, but Novation had offered to send it over to explore, so I said yes to that as well. I previously had a Peak and had missed its effects (especially reverb) and filter.

Once the NDLR is connected and routed to the right MIDI channels, the musical exploration process is extremely fast. I will admit that I usually produce a certain kind of result with the NDLR, and I don't always want that kind of song. But as a palate cleanser, as a way to tap into very fast inspiration, I love putting it on the table and just getting musical results.

Overall, a nice way to end a good year. Thanks for listening.

Performed and recorded live, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

PlantsSystem-S&H

video upload by plantssystem

"Their latest track, 'S&H' is inspired by the Sample & Hold (S&H) function of analog synthesizers. It 'holds' a continuous signal at set intervals, depicting changes like stepped voltage - this characteristic is expressed through the musical structure and groove.

The feeling is that a smooth flow locks for a moment, then transitions into the next change.
Accidental fluctuations coexist with regular step changes.
These intertwine, sprouting a unique rhythmic life form on the border between the inorganic and the organic.

No sampling is used, and the concept is entirely analog-inspired.
This track translates the essence of synth functionality into music from PlantsSystem unique perspective.

LOOPA project update | No release? | Looking for partner | Big demo

video upload by ferluht

"It's been a while since I posted the first demo and since then I've been working a lot to make LOOPA more optimized, more stable, and more ready to production. I hoped that will manage to release it till the end of 2025, but the closer I was getting to release the more challenges and uncertainties I faced. The biggest of them is I have no experience at mass-production of electronic gadgets. I also don't want to disappoint people first taking money and then delaying production for years. I've thought that it's a good idea to go for crowdfunding, but then studied some cases and I don't think so anymore, at least in my case. So I'm thinking of just launching it on my own funds and looking for potential partner or company to delegate manufacturing and distribution to someone experienced

"Fully working, very nice and clean used condition from a non smoking mixing studio. Used on one film project only. It usually takes a time to build this and it took me nearly 3month to received it from the Dewanatron.

It has UK power plug but this was built to operate on any voltage between 100v - 240v."
