Self Erecting Structures by Atomic Shadow

via Atomic Shadow
"After I decided to retire the man in the lab coat it dawned on me that I had made quite a few videos featuring that personae. Why not compile an album from those tracks and make them all available to commemorate the end of an era? So here is the result. All of the videos are viewable at my Vimeo site.

Tracks 8 and 9 were demos of Hollow Sun's Cognopshere instrument for Kontakt and Wolfgang Palm's PPG WaveGenerator app for iOS respectively.

Track 13 is one that was done for another project and was lost while backing up to an external drive. It recently resurfaced while I was looking for something else. I took this as a sign and included it here.

This is a 'pay what you want" download and I have several empty spots in the racks of my Command Center that are painfully aggravating my OCD so please consider helping out with a purchase. Or buying some of these raw sounds for your own use at my Pond 5 site.

You can subscribe to my blog at www.atomicshadow.com where I post on the rare occasion that I have anything new or interesting to report.

"Ode to the 2600" - ARP 2600 (x2) & Analogue Solutions Oberkorn (x2)

"Ode to the 2600" song featuring ARP 2600 (x2) and Analogue Solutions Oberkorn (x2)

Published on Nov 4, 2012 by rezfilter

"Here's a demo song featuring a soundscape entirely from the ARP 2600 (x 2)! All sounds, fx and drum patterns in the track were sequenced exclusively via the Oberkorn MK3 by Analogue Solutions.

Every synth line was then recorded into Logic and layered to create the finished track you hear in the video. The only reverb used was the spring reverb from the 2600, and only on select sounds.

The 2600 interfaces nicely with the Oberkorn and allows for the type of filter sweeps, steps and patterns you cannot achieve via the standard keyboard (or simple CV) alone.

Drum and Bass Goof-Off Session


Published on Nov 4, 2012 by FatSynthDude

"Stressing out lately with getting the studio put back together, so thought I'd fiddle with a genre I know nothing about to blow off steam. MPC1000 w/JJOS doing the sequencing and drum stuff, OTO Biscuit handling the processing, Arturia MiniBrute on the bassline, Future Retro XS doing the paddy thingy, Red Square doing the lead, and StudioLive handling mixing and additional effects."

Another Sneak Peek - New Synth Coming from Cynosure48?


Published on Nov 4, 2012 by Cynosure48

Here is another sneak peek of sounds from the project I am working on. I added some reverb, but otherwise all the sides are from the synth, which was receiving a 3 note loop from Ableton Live. Everything you hear is just three long notes, one after the other. Arppegios were done within the synth.

Would you like to own a synth that can produce sounds like this?

Walkman Sample and Hold


Published on Nov 4, 2012 by chisel316

"In this demo, I use a Walkman as the source for the Doepfer A-148 Sample and Hold module. The output is sent into the 1v/Oct CV input of the Kraftzwerg Triple Oscillator. Notice the subtlety of the random notes compared to using white noise. Hope you enjoy it!"

Moog attitude by Frank Herrgott


Published on Nov 4, 2012 by Frank Herrgott

"I just bought the Moog Voyager (rack version) and was very enthusiastic about the sound. I did this demo to share some of the sonic possibilities of this beast. I use only the sounds of the moog voyager and did use only verbs, Eqs, compressors ans delays as effects. I also mention that it is the first timle that I use Adobe Premiere (video editor), it's a great soft.Thanks for passing by, see you soon on the net.... and have fun with the Moog Attitude!

"oberkorn is a fully fledged professional analogue sequencer providing plenty of control outputs and inputs and with some unique creative features never before seen. whilst most new analogue sequencers only offer a limiting 8 steps, the oberkorn offers the all important 16 steps. it is a multi-channel true analogue sequencer with some remarkable features. below are a list of main features:

- 3 separate control voltage channels. each has a range control.
- 2 separate gate channels. either can be on or off, they can be both on together too.
- the gates can be clocked using internal clock, external clock or use a special legato mode.
- nice bright blue leds
- midi to clock, trigger and step number converter
- transpose inputs
- two channels have glide (portamento)
- cv control of clock speed.
- capability of changing step sequence to anything you want other than the standard 1 to 16.
- can be reset to step 16, which is very important for synching with other gear.
- this sequencer will work with a hz/v synth, but works best with the more common v/oct."

Jordan Passmore Italo demo of Maschine, Nord Lead 3, U-Know 007.

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
Published on Oct 16, 2012 by Jordan Passmore

"Here is a demo of my more mobile/live setup. This demo includes a lot of stuff; a Clavia Nord Lead 3 rack doing the bass, Maschine MK1 disguised as a LinnDrum and Sonic Core's U-Know 007 doing the Juno 106-ish chords. Everything is mixed inside of Ableton Live. I am using Native Instrument's Passive EQ on the main bus, Enhanced EQ on each channel and the Vari-Comp also on the main.

The Nord Lead 3 is a new piece of kit of mine and I love it. People say it sounds too clean or sterile but, I don't think that is always a bad thing. It's hybrid FM/Subtractive sound engine lends itself well to sharp basslines, bell-like tones and evolving pads. The Maschine is loaded full of samples I took of my LinnDrum. I feel like Maschine is one of the best new tools for electronic musicians that has come around in a long, long time. It is very easy to jam on and is the perfect tool for live situations. I will be making more demos of Maschine for sure. U-Know 007 is a relatively old plug-in for the Sonic Core (formerly Creamware) Scope DSP system. Under most circumstances it seems to nail the 106's sound pretty well and as a bonus it is certainly more flexible.

The MIDI controllers are the Alesis Q25 and the Korg nanoKey2."

Jan Hammer - Crockett's Theme Performed Live by Kebu

Jan Hammer - Crockett's Theme (performed live by Kebu @ Dynamo, Turku, 5.5.2012)

https://www.facebook.com/kebunator

"I always liked this tune and was inspired when I heard Michael Cassette's version. So for my live set I made an arrangement that was influenced by both versions, but put my own twist on it. The tune ended my show in Dynamo, Turku, where this video was recorded. Unfortunately, I only had three camcorders going and the heavy bass drum in the club made the cameras vibrate with each beat. But the feeling was so high in the club that I definitely wanted to upload this particular take!

The song was performed using only analog synthesizers, either played live or sequenced. The performance was recorded line in to one of the cameras. The ambience in the club was recorded using the built-in microphones on two of the remaining cameras and mixed together with the line signal.

Equipment used in this song: Korg Polysix, Poly 61, Mono/Poly, Micro-preset M500; Roland TR-808, Jomox AirBase99, Juno 60, Alpha Juno 1&2; Touched-by-sound DRM1, Oberheim Matrix 6R, Yamaha RM1x (only for MIDI sequencing), Behringer DDX3216, Lexicon MPX500, as well as a midi patchbay and additional preamps for my mixer. Cameras: Canon HF100 (x2) and HF200.

A big thank you to the amazing audience in Turku and to Turku Synth Club for arranging the gig!"

TipTop Audio HATS909 demo


TipTop Audio HATS909 demo from Equinoxoz music solutions on Vimeo.

"A quick overview of the new TipTop Audio HATS909 module.

Very vast range of High Hat and noise tones can be coaxed from this module easily, it has settings which undoubtedly rung true to the original TR909's that we all love but the Tune control and modulation inputs can take it far away from this territory entirely into new spectrums of sound.

The end is just a quick jam I threw together with the HATS909 used, nothing serious :)"

Metasonix Jam with 2 D1000's!! from Equinoxoz music solutions on Vimeo.

"Just a little something I threw together which is 90% Metasonix. Everything is processed via Metasonix machines/modules.

A little bassy patch coming from an R54 into an R51 which is being opened and closed by a Malekko/Wiard Envelator.

One set of drum sounds from one of the D1000's, some TipTop 808 Modules being processed by another D1000 and then a strange patch with an R54 into an R52 and then an R51 which was being opened by a Harvestman Double andore and run into a TipTop ZDSP for some ping pong delay.

Its wonky, all over the place and I had a hell of a time with it :) great fun devices!"

Five to Nine Featuring Internal Sounds of the Haken Continuum Fingerboard

Five to Nine by Edmund Eagan

"This piece was created using a variety of new sounds for the Continuum Fingerboard release version 5.29. All instrumentation was performed on the Continuum except for the shakers. I wanted to create a more melodic piece on the Continuum than what I usually do. I was nice to limit myself to a small feature set in making this piece. Helps to focus the creative energy. I especially like the tabla like sound in this new release. Really fun to play and it's completely tunable."

You can find a recent demo of the Matrix-1000 which has the same synth engine of the Matrix-6R here. The Matrix-1000 requires an external editor to edit patches. The 6R is editable via the front panel. The 1000 does support editing via MIDI sysex so you can map an external programmer that supports sysex to various parameters on it. The Matrix-6 and 6R only allow this with the latest OS 2.13.


Arp 2600 Synthesizer

via this auction

"Arp 2600/2601 with matching serial # 3620 keyboard in excellent original condition. It is complete, still has the original speakers and includes BOTH LIDS.
There are no tears in the tolex and it has all sliders intact with their original knobs. (photo will show 4 broken sliders which have since been replaced with N.O.S. slider shafts/ knobs) I also have about 10-15 original gray Arp patch cords and 2 dummy plugs, the owners manual and patch book, all in excellent condition.

Everything works, including the reverb. Only noted operational issue is the volume slider for VCO 3 which is a little scratchy. The tuning/tracking of all three oscillators is exceptional, and will not need any attention. Plug and play...
The keyboard feels like new with a nice tight response and no sticking, all keys work, as well as all plugs and functions."

"This is the earlier model and is capable of duophonic (the two oscillators can be played separately) and each oscillator has a separate S/H feature, IT IS not an SRM version (i.e. has an LFO delay in the ADSR section, different knobs, etc.). The unit is in excellent cosmetic condition and is working great. Note the noise level slider is missing its slider cap. Similar in design to the Arp Odyssey but with its own unique sound and tone and has a more complex modulation matrix. You can mix all different waveforms and suboctaves of each oscillator with the output of the other. Overall this unit is a very good example of this rare synth."
