Tiptop Audio 808 Blinken Lights

YouTube Published on Jul 23, 2012 by matrixsynth

Just a quick and dirty test of my new Tiptop Audio 808 modules (CB808, HATS808, SD808 & BD808). 808 modules through Tiptop Z5000 effects module, through Harvestman Polyvoks filter, through t.c. electronic M300. Using four sequences on the Tiptop Z8000 to drive it all, with the Harvestman Zorlon Canon as the clock. Each drum module goes into a Mattson Mini Modular mixer and VCA. You can hear the different modules come in and out as well as the effects. The only sound source are the 808 modules. Midway through the video I change the clock rate. Listen on a system with some bass and turn it up. Apologies for the noise in the background. This one best viewed in the dark.

Barry Schrader's The Barnum Museum CD & Vintage Buchla Performances

"After four years of composing and mastering, The Barnum Museum CD is now in production and will be released on the Innova label on September 25, 2012. This one-hour, eight-movement work is inspired by Steven Millhauser’s short story, The Barnum Museum, and is a journey into the imagination of the fantastic. There’s a new page on my site for The Barnum Museum CD, with excerpts from the notes and music from the first two tracks. I’ll be putting up samples from the other movements throughout the next two months.

On Wednesday, July 25, at 8:00 pm BST (UTC/GMT +1 hour) (3:00 pm EDT; 12:00 noon PDT), London Resonance FM will present a special one-hour program of my music from the past 35 years. This program presents the rarely-heard Moon-Wings from Moon-Whales and other Moon Songs (1982-1983), composed on the Buchla 200 analog synthesizer, and also features the premiere presentation of a ten-minute sampler from my latest work, The Barnum Museum (2009-2012). I've recorded special commentary for this program, and you can listen to this show by streaming with the link and information given here.

My recent article on John Cage, Caged, is available online on Glasschord. While the piece largely deals with Cage's work from my own perspective, it contains some interesting facts about Cage's background and influences. Glasschord is an excellent and important online magazine that covers contemporary culture and art. The complete program notes for The Barnum Museum will be presented in the October issue of Glasschord, along with a special Barnum Museum Sampler mp3 file."

"After years of work by the Iota Center, Pamela Turner, and Mark Toscano and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the experimental animation work of Adam Beckett (1950-1979) has been remastered and released on a new DVD. Included in this DVD is Heavy-Light (1973), Adam's most abstract work.
I was fortunate to be able score Heavy-Light, using one of CalArts' Buchla 200 systems, and it's great to see Adam's work restored and made available to the public. Also on this DVD is Evolution of the Red Star, with music by Carl Stone."

XILS-lab Releases Oxium New Performance Soft Synth Plug-in

"GRENOBLE, FRANCE: music software company XILS-lab is proud to announce availability of Oxium, its newly-launched performance-orientated soft synth, as of July 21, 2012...

Oxium is a unique, yet cost-conscious (€99.00 EURO/$129.00 USD) Mac-compatible (OS X 10.4 — 32-bit PowerPC and Intel; Mac OS X 10.6 or later — 32- and 64-bit Intel; Audio Unit, VST, RTAS — Pro Tools 7.0 and later) and PC-compatible (Windows XP, Vista, and 7 — 32- and 64-bit; VST, RTAS — Pro Tools 7.0 and later) performance-orientated soft synth plug-in, adept at giving equal billing to still-sought-after classic analogue sounds and more adventurous modernistic tones.

Mastering Oxium is far from being a steep learning curve, however, thanks to its intuitive user interface. An Instant Visual Feedback (IVF) concept based around a ‘Flower’ design allows standard synth building blocks — oscillators, filters, and LFOs, etc — to be quickly absorbed at a glance. Meanwhile, modulation options are also accessible quickly and simply via a central page, and include the usual suspects — never has it been so simple to add performance-enhancing Vibrato (oscillator pitch), Tremolo (VCA level), or Auto-Wah (cutoff frequency) modulations to a patch!

Looking for ‘photorealistic’ analogue-sounding sounds? Then look no further: take two cumulative analogue- modelled oscillators and simultaneously select several (Triangle, PWM Triangle, Saw, Square, and PWM Pulse) waveforms for each (together with cross and ring modulation); shape them with a flexible double- multimode filter structure using XILS-lab’s proprietary third-generation zero-delay feedback algorithm featuring six self-oscillating filter types (12dB and 24dB Lowpass, 6dB and 12dB Bandpass, and 12dB High- Pass — plus 12dB Lowpass, Bandpass, High-Pass, and an additional Formant Filter option on the second filter that can also be modulated); finally, mix to taste using the flexible double-mixer architecture with fully- configurable serial or parallel modes, and... voila! Subtractive synthesis speedily taken to a new dimension.

Seeking something more modern and exotic-sounding? Then try using the Grid, Oxium’s onboard advanced sequencer modulator, adapted from the masked zones idea introduced in XILS-lab’s Le Masque: Delay timeline-driven delay effects plug-in namesake, featuring 16 freely-assignable zones, horizontal and vertical quantise modes, and two level parameters for added musical flexibility. Ditto the three (Amplifier, Filter, and Auxiliary) D-ADSR envelopes easily at hand to assist with sound sculpting — perfect for triggering tempo- synched modulation, for example. And rounding off this fanciful feature set, three full-featured LFOs that can be set to run polyphonically (with each voice having its own LFO) or monophonically (with all voices using the same LFO), each capable of modulating oscillator pitch and width, filter frequency (host application synchronised or otherwise), and amplifier level.

To top things off, Oxium comes complete with over 250 carefully chosen performance-showcasing presets from XILS-lab’s talented team of well-known, world-class sound designers, while two user-selectable skins reflect its ‘split personality’... so why not choose one today?

Oxium is available to purchase from the dedicated XILS-lab online Store for a special introductory price of €69 EURO/$89.00 USD until August 15 (rising to €99 EURO /$129.00 USD thereafter). Note: this is a serial number-protected product — no iLok required!

Native Instruments introduces RAW VOLTAGE

"Berlin, July 23rd, 2012 – Native Instruments today introduced RAW VOLTAGE, a new MASCHINE Expansion which captures the sound of a huge modular synthesizer system. For instant use with MASCHINE or MASCHINE MIKRO, RAW VOLTAGE contains kits, instruments and patterns that share the unique, rich and organic sound characteristics of analog synthesis.

The sounds inside RAW VOLTAGE range from grainy, noisy and raw to sleek, cool and clinical. Sampled from a one-of-a-kind analog modular system, RAW VOLTAGE has a wide sonic scope, inspired in part by experimental and avant-garde electronica. The drum and percussion sounds are punchy, loud and direct, while the sampled basses, leads, pads and soundscapes are rich in detail and analog atmosphere. The expansion also includes 140 expertly-programmed patterns, providing a wide selection of styles from broken, jagged rhythms to steady, flowing grooves.

RAW VOLTAGE is designed to evoke the sound and character of modular analog synthesis inside MASCHINE, combining these unmistakable sounds with the renowned MASCHINE production workflow. The kits and instruments provided cross genre boundaries to inject analog feel into any musical project – from techno to hip-hop, electronica and beyond.

RAW VOLTAGE is based on a unique custom modular system used and created by Norwegian synthesis expert Roger Grønberg (Frodebeats). The system includes modules from Modcan, MOTM, Oakley, CGS, STG, Encore, Buchla plus many unique custom and DIY modules, as well as analog synthesizers like Arp Odyssey/2600 and Korg MiniKorg 700s.

A compact version of RAW VOLTAGE is also available for iMASCHINE – the groove sketchpad for iPhone® / iPod Touch®.

RAW VOLTAGE is available at the NI Online Shop for $59/49 EUR. For owners of iMASCHINE, a compact version of RAW VOLTAGE is also available via the iMASCHINE in-app store for $0.99/0,79 EUR.

Sound Alchemy w/ Ableton Live: 'The Singing Dunes' - Advanced Instrument Racks

YouTube Published on Jul 23, 2012 by DubSpot

"More info: http://bit.ly/LIs3KB
Dubspot instructor, composer, and producer Raz Mesinai kicks off a brand new Ableton Live video tutorial series, focusing on creating Effect and Instrument Racks in Live based on natural sonic phenomena. In the first installment, Raz explains and demonstrates how to create an advanced Instrument Rack inspired by the Singing Dunes.

I heard about the Singing Dune phenomenon years ago from several friends, all from the Middle East. After searching online I found a few recordings, but none really clear enough to capture the experience. Later, I contacted Chris Watson (formerly of Cabaret Voltaire), who is now one of the most exquisite field recording artists I've ever come across. (I highly recommend his recordings on the UK-based Touch label). He told me that he had been trying to record the dunes but had had no luck as of yet (this may have changed since then). After more digging I eventually discovered this site which has some very good recordings of the phenomenon (http://www.fonik.dk/works/oman.html). I suggest you check them out prior to watching this tutorial, but use headphones or speakers with plenty of sub — you won't hear a thing on your laptop speakers.

From there I set off to experiment in a little sound alchemy. Using Operator and Analog, I first focused on the main elements of the 'landscape' where this is taking place. There is a base drone, representing the dune, a layer of noise, representing the sand moving, and modulation as a way to make the sand 'blow' in the wind at different rates.

From there I looked for a story to latch onto. The story is based off of the description that Marco Polo wrote down in the 13th century during a stay in the Gobi Desert. He described this phenomenon as being the voices of evil spirits which "at times filled the air with the sounds of all kinds of instruments, and also the drums of clashing arms." This image of Marco Polo, perhaps sleeping in a tent in the desert, suddenly being woken up by these strange sounds, which to him were completely mysterious as his quote suggests, conjures two things for me. Firstly, it allows a lot of freedom for me to conceptualize this Instrument Rack, and secondly, it affirms my beliefs that bad things happen when white people go to the desert.

The intention of this tutorial is not to imitate the Singing Dune phenomenon, rather, it is to use these sounds from the earth as a source of inspiration, allowing me to conceptualize a soundscape that goes with an imaginary story that is seen through sound.

I hope you enjoy it! -- Raz Mesinai"

for a long time i have heard that dubstep sounds like a dialup modem, so i decided to test if the modem could sound like dubstep

every sound is from the opening handshake, ill post the making of video in a few hours, there is no synth and no samples used, even the drums are all based on parts of the modem sound, the bass is pretty clearly shown in the intro from modem buzz to brostep wobble

In summary, this is a 4-voice synth, you can control a great deal, for each voice, pitch, waveform, octave, as well as set it up to play as a four voice mono synth. There are numerous options, for modulation (2 sections with x-mod) perhaps it's coolest feature.

This unit is an outstanding item. The case has been replaced with real wood (oak) , so make sure to check out the pictures.
The outside, panel, knobs etc, are all in excellent condition and show no abuse. The power supply has been rebuilt and, the full synth has been recapped, so should run flawlessly for a long time to come. the power none tour has been changed to a standard IEC connector (see photo), for convenience. It is fully calibrated and ready to make music."

via this auction

"Up for bid with No Reserve is a used working Prophet 5 Synthesizer, and Anvil Road Case. I purchased this item as part of a delinquent storage unit. When I opened the case the foam padding was rotten and all over the synthesizer. Carefully I vacuumed, and blew the foam loose with compressed air. I removed the bottom metal cover and cleaned the inside as thoroughly as possible. I then slowly warmed it up with my variac as shown in the first picture. Actually I let it cook at 40 volts for 30 minutes. It slowly came to life at about 80 volts but was intermittent. The more I played with in the better it sounded. At first only about half the keys worked, after an hour they all work and sound strong.

Just because I got it to work, does not mean it will work properly for you. I am an ebayer, and not a keyboard player or electronic technician. This synthesizer needs to be serviced by a professional. I only tested for output sounds into a guitar amplifier. No recording or programming features were tested."

SubCon Model 15 Ghost Bassline Disappearance

YouTube Published on Jul 23, 2012 by kuxaansum

"Don't really recall everything in this patch but I wanted to use most of my Plan B stuff. (including the SubCon modules)

I basically had the A-143-1 providing the main envelopes/clocks providing a base for the Model 10, B-logue Serge VCS and an Envelator to chew on. Rene sends CV to SubCon Model 15 with modulatio provided by Model 37.

Filters used were an MFB 24dB, Optomix, Manhattan Analogue MA-35. and Plan B Model 13. The MakeNoise Wogglebug provides modulation, gates to various modules and also ring modulation for Modcan FMVDO (which is also providing FM for Model 15)

MakeNoise Echophon provides some tasty delay for Model 15 path while the secondary output of the Modcan (90 degrees out of phase) is sent to Model 13/Serge VCS and Model 10 with dry output."

Better have a Plan B...

"Love takes time" - on Elka X-1000

YouTube Published on Jul 23, 2012 by organfairy

"I have known this melody since the early 1980's when it came out. But it is only recently that I found out who sang it. I assumed that it was the Swedish band Secret Service. But I found out that it was a German guy who performed under the stage name Steve Benson. I also found out that his real name was Dieter Bohlen - that guy who later formed the band Modern Talking with Thomas Anders.

This time I am playing live - no MIDI or multitracking - though I did a retake to be able to switch camera angles. But the sound is all from the same recording.

Most of the sounds are the standard presets on the organ. Some of the organ sounds are from a preset disc I got when I bought it. And I also programmed a new arpeggio specifically for this song."

Jupiter-8 Patch- "Bright"

Jupiter-8 patch edits: LFO waveforms and the VCF

Published on Jul 23, 2012 by TheSynthFreq

"Hi! :) Here are several examples of Jupiter-8s VCF (voltage controlled Filter) with different LFO WFs routed to the VCF for (modulation). I used LFO sine, square, triangle and random waveforms offered on Jupiter-8. These are very typical waveforms offered on most synths. Note: if a synthesizer does not offer multiple waveforms for the LFO, then the LFO is most likely modulated by a SINE.

LFOs are in most cases used for adding vibrato, tremolo and other commonly used modulations, but every waveform can be used to modify the VCF and the VCA rather than pitch to get some interesting synthy textures.

LFOs are used to introduce a repeating change in pitch (vco/ oscillator), or timbre/tone color (vcf/filter), and or volume (vca/amp) or any combination within.

I use the LFOs to VCF (LFO mod) to create an 'arp' effect as if an arp was being used but instead of running the arpeggiator (which has a rate of 1-20hz), I used the VCF LFO (saw waveform).
LFO on the Jupiter-8 has a rate from 0.05hz to 40hz. An LFO rate from 20-40hz range is into the audio range (normal human hearing is about = 20hz to 20kHz.
So, the LFO offers a very basic effect of an "arp" but is capable of faster rates than the arp itself.

LFO Waveforms -
Sine= smooth increase and decrease in pitch, timbre or volume/amplitude.
Saw= Types: Positive ramp (rise in value) /Negative ramp (fall in value). Saw creates a repetitive fall/rise of pitch, timbre or volume/amplitude.
Square= repetitive "on/off", "high-low" variation of pitch, timbre or volume/amplitude. Rand S/H= random signal, variation of pitch, timbre and amplitude/volume.

Jupiter-8s LFO can also modulate PWM (not shown).

Please enjoy :)"
