Deeper [Korg DS-10 track, live, work in progress]


YouTube Uploaded by DifficultListening on Sep 8, 2011
http://www.youtube.com/user/DifficultListening
"test run through a track that needs some live performance. Think this one ended up too "twiddly"."

Additional info:
"A live performance, with much Kaoss Pad twiddling, of a groove-driven Korg DS-10 track that has been a while in the making. The track is performed on the DS-10+ cart, but it don't use any of the extra features of the newer cart. No outboard effects or plugins were used, just the inbuilt effects and (automatic) compression in the DS-10.

The DS-10 is capable of much more than the bleepy chiptune vibe that is suggested by its humble hardware. The drum voices use their individual effects settings for lo-fi waveguide synthesis to get metallic timbres for the snare and high-hat, or to make evolving textured drones and vocalish sounds with drum voice 4 at various pitches. The synth voices use old-school analogue modular patches with plenty of modulation. I think that it makes a pretty good demo of what you can push the DS-10 into doing, albeit at the hands of a non-musician. :-)

Video is to show Kaoss Pad noodling, Soundcloud is higher quality and gives a download for the original track in lossless FLAC."

Deeper (first try) by Difficult Listening
"'Naked' Korg DS-10 track with lots of live performance in it.I'm pretty happy with some of the patterns and sounds, less sure about the performance.

No other synths or effects used in this - recorded into the mic input of a Lexicon Lambda using Reaper, trimmed and uploaded as FLAC.

Original is free to download, creative commons licenses apply."

Modular Synth Jam 1315598400


YouTube Uploaded by shiftedphase on Sep 9, 2011

"Some sounds I came up with when trying out my newly configured modular synth rack. I'm using the K2579 Step Sequencer to generate melodies, and using 2x K3020 Dual VCOs for both making sounds and providing LFOs. I've got an auto-panner effect hooked up as well.

New modules in the system this time are my DIY slew limiter, step sequencer, CV processor, envelope generator, VCA, mixer, reverb / delay, and voltage source. Most of them are used in this patch."

There are two trigger inputs and a switch to choose two decay settings. This thing is a blast--it clangs, wobbles, and shrieks.

GetLoFi Chip Tone Generator 8 Step Random Bass Note Generator pt2. Sync with Drum machine


YouTube Uploaded by circuitmaster on Sep 9, 2011

"The Chip Tone generator can be easily synced to a Drum machine or any piece of analog gear that outputs a Trigger pulse or a clock signal. The circuit is opto isolated to prevent any damage to the main IC.

The tempo knob helps to set the note lengths for each clock beat, if the notes are too long, they will re-trigger on the next available step creating a moving bass line. Shorter notes will trigger right on the beat.

Again these units are available for sale directly through www.getlofi.com

Artwork will be added to these pedals soon."

1978 SONICA by Frank Eventoff and Serge Modular synthesizer

via this auction

"This is the unusual and strange instrument, the SONICA. Invented by Frank Eventoff, supposedly only 650 were made. (I interviewed him once for putting up a page on the Sonica on the web.) He invented a membrane-switch and created this instrument with it, before selling the switches to make McDonald's cash registers, etc. all over the world. The instrument is made from a circuit built by SERGE Modular synthesizers (see photo of circuit board) and has a warm, mellow tone. You slide your finger along the diatonic-tuned soundboard. More importantly, there are 3 control pads: Slider wobbles the pitch a little (vibrato), Tone adjusts brightness, Half-Step gives you half-step notes (as diatonic scale misses some in-between, you can get them here). The tone control doesn't do much, maybe it's waveform adjust or something, but the sound is already dark and low, like a flute, so there's not many highs to affect. It's easy and fun to play, comes with original case. "

When in Rome


YouTube Uploaded by attorks on Sep 8, 2011

"It has been a few months since my last video. I have been very busy with everything but music. Last evening I had a chance to make some music and this is the result. The sequence origins from a short piece of music I made last week on my iPhone with NanoStudio. I thought it was very nice. But trying to recreate it on my hardware setup was somewhat impossible. So I used the sequence and improvised something else on it. At first you hear the Synthesizers.com Modular driven by the Synthesizers.com Q960 sequencer. The second sequence, performed by the Doepfer MAQ16/3 sequencer, comes from the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO which is driving the Blacet Miniwave. The sequence from the Creamware MiniMax ASB is driven by the MIDI output of the Q172 quantizer aid which I got recently and does the same sequence as the Synthesizers.com Modular. A bass line is played on the Clavia Nord Lead 1, the Roland XP-80 is emulating an Elka Rhapsody string machine (I used to own one). The brass like sound comes from the Waldorf Q Keyboard.

My friend Anne used my iPhone 4G to video this session; thanks for that. The title refers to a short holiday Anne and I had in Rome a few weeks ago. Rome is a wonderful city full of ancient history, beautiful buildings, fountains and churches. The Italian people are also very friendly and helpful. So definitively worth a visit.

You can download/see/hear the video and music from my website soon."

"The purpose of these pages are to study and archive different commercial and DIY project drum synthesizers that use analogue circuitry to model drum and percussive sounds. The focus is more on the way the sound is synthesized rather than drum machine control. Rather than just pop up a load of badly scanned schematics and images I hope to analyze and re-draw each design ( or group of similar designs. ) and make mod suggestions and PCB’s."
