Sunsine Audio SoundMaster Stix305 Nanostudio & Beatmaker 2 Sample Pack

"Simple acid demo of the Soundmaster Stix305 drumsample kit by WaveShaper."

"Sunsine Audio is proud to announce we will begin releasing Beatmaker 2 and Nanostudio versions of Waveshaper drum kits and samples.

The iOS versions will be available exclusively through Sunsine Audio, while the original Wav versions will remain available from Waveshaper. Both versions are priced exactly the same.

The first "converted" release is - STIX 305

The SoundMaster Stix 305 is a very rare analogue drum machine from the early eighties. You get both the cheesy, mellow sound of the psychedelic 70s, plus the acid hats of the 80s !

This WaveShaper sample pack is a quite unique occasion to meet this very little known and lovely beat box. Your tracks will get a great retro sound, whether you are an electronic funk producer, and acid freak or a true analogue sound lover.

The Stix305 was recorded using some tube preamp and compressor and a vintage eq on top of it to keep the analogue vibe on the full recording chain.

As the Stix305 features few sounds, I recorded them at various compression, gain and eq settings and made several takes of each sound in order to get some subtle variations that your round-robin soft sampler will love for sure !

There are also a dozen of loops plus a more punchy kit, processed using some strong tube distortion.

Converted and exclusively available for iOS use (Nanostudio and Beatmaker 2) from Sunsine Audio. Please visit http://waveshaper.12r.org/ for original Wav file versions. This product is not included in the Sunsine subscription deal.

Format:

*Requires Beatmaker 2 or Nanostudio*

43 One Hit Samples
3 Kits (Clean, Alt, Distorted)
3 .bmkz files for Beatmaker 2
3 .trg files for Nanostudio
13 Bonus loops in .wav format

Price: $2.90

Love on a real train - Tangerine dream (cover) using P3 sequencer

Published on Feb 11, 2013 mik300z·58 videos

"I love this track, thought I would give it a try using the sequentix P3 sequencer. It has 8 tracks, with each of the synths connected to it, it allows old skool sequencing plus ability to jam a little with it. There's something really tight about hardware sequencers that DAW's simply can't do. The p3 manual will take some good bed-time reading to get a grip on it fully;) Thanks to C for giving me the opportunity of using it"

The Clap SN 1546 via this auction
The Tymp via this auction

Description for The Clap: "All analogue.  In good working and cosmetic condition, this has a round pad mounted on a plastic composite and metal box with controls to produce a clap sound. The controls allow a variation of sound with volume, spread, decay and mix knobs.  Trigger in, on 3.5mm jack, so it can be triggered from a drum pad, or almost any audio signal.  Output on standard ¼ inch jack.  9V adaptor, (also a 3.5mm jack), not included, or PP3 battery  In very good condition except the battery cover is rusty. As this is just a plain steel plate it could be sanded and resprayed very easily.
Manufactured in in Cambridge, England."

Description for The Tymp: "MPC The Tymp, 80s Tympani / Kettle Drum Synthesizer  All analogue.  In good working and cosmetic condition, this has a round pad mounted on a plastic composite and metal box with controls to produce a drum sound. The controls allow a variation of sound with volume, pitch, decay and mix knobs.  This can produce a synthetic tympani or kettle drum sound and useful toms, kick, and also an alternative snare.
Trigger in, on 3.5mm jack, so it can be triggered from a drum pad, or almost any audio signal.  Output on standard ¼ inch jack.  9V adaptor, (also a 3.5mm jack), not included, or PP3 battery  In very good condition , missing a rubber foot, still has its paper made in England sticker!  Manufactured in in Cambridge, England."

MEECAS 2013 - Midwestern Experimental Electronics Conference & Showcase

via MEECAS

"We have seen experimental electronics artists transform musical instrument design; we have seen them tinker with musical teory and composition; we have seen them advance the hands-on education system; we have seen them turn DIY performance art on its head! What will they do with micro-theater -- specifially puppetry?

The annual Midwestern Experimental Electronics Conference and Showcase (www.MEECAS.com) is a free, day-long, inventors' networking symposium highlighting the past year's innovations in the areas of Musical Instrument Design, Performance, Circuit Bending, Data Hacking, and Video Art.

There are lectures, demonstrations, interactive installations, a daytime circuit bent open mic, and an evening's showcase of the Midwest's most innovative artists and inventors.

Oberheim S.E.M. module with ACXSynth dS-Arpeggiator (Démo) NightBirds 2013

Published on Feb 11, 2013 NightBirds31

"Une petit démonstration du module Oberheim S.E.M. avec le Séquenceur / Arpégiateur ACX.
Cette petite boîte ACX est vraiment une bombe pour contrôler les machines. Soit en mode arpégiateur ou séquenceur.
Il est capable d'arpéger 128 notes en MIDI.
Le séquenceur peut être mono ou polyphonique avec une capacité de 8000 notes.
Il peut être synchronisé en MIDI (Din Synch 24 ou 48) ou alors avec n'importe quelle horloge externe (LFO ... etc ...).
Les Séquences ou les Arpèges peuvent être transposés en direct avec le même clavier utilisé pour enregistrer les notes.

Pour cette vidéo j'ai utilisé le mode séquenceur avec transposition en direct.
Bonne écoute et à bientôt !

Akasha Synth Sound Art (at NAMM 2013)

Published on Feb 11, 2013 vidjoyogi·8 videos

"A short demo at NAMM of the first Akasha Synth object. It's a modular system with geometric shapes in order to build sounding 3D art objects. The modules or nodes provide analog sound circuits and a digital interconnection that can be controlled by Midi. Touch sensitive pads and bright LEDs show the interconnection VCAs and their modulations. There are triangles, squares and pentagons to obtain any platonic or irregular body or planes.
The synth line comes from the Akasha Modules, it's synced to an XBASE 999 and controlled by Midi CCs or the internal touch sensitive pads.

"Amazing analog synth. Can stack 4 oscillators in mono or 4-voice polyphonic. 2 LFOs. Amazing SSM filter. Oscillator sync and ring modulation. Two ADSR envelopes. Arpeggiator. And more. I installed the sample and hold mod in it. So it has two switches above the pitch/mod wheels. One chooses between S/H and normal MG (modulation generator). The other one chooses whether the S/H is clocked by MG1 or MG2/Arp Trig. The arp trig input is also modified to accept v-triggers. It also comes with a hard case. I recently tuned it up, and it is working great..."

"The 904-A is fitted with a single Asys RS-95E VCO pulse wave and of course the prototype is only rough calibrated and assembled with standard components. Alpha pots and selected components will be used in the production version, along with a slightly larger frontplate (14 HP). At least the resonance levels must be further adjusted, so there's a little more job for my engineer... For more infos please go controlvoltage.org"

Update: "Audio signal is provided by a single Asys RS-95E VCO pulse wave.
In this first test the prototype is only rough calibrated and assembled with standard components, Alpha pots and selected components will be used in the production version, along with a slightly larger frontplate (14 HP).

First impressions: the frequency response works as expected, but the resonance levels and response must be further adjusted to match the original, so there's a little more job for my engineer..."

"My first impressions of a Buchla 200e.
Just tweaking knobs in the search for great sounds"

Slightly shorter edited version of the video with additional details:


Published on Feb 11, 2013

"My first impressions of a Buchla 200e.
Just tweaking knobs in the search for great sounds
At times it kinda sounds like a Ducatti. :-)

Using just 3 modules:
261e - Complex Waveform Generator
281e - Quad function generator
292e - Quad Dynamics Manager

The 261e - The Complex Waveform Generator consists of 2 VCos (modulation & principal oscillators).
The principal oscillator appears to only generate sine waves.... freq varying from 27 to 7040Hz.
The modulation Osc has 2 ranges: 27 - 7040HZ (audio range) & .25 - 64Hz (sub-audio).

The 281e - Quad function generator - These appear to be a very complex set of envelope generators.
Can be organised into pairs.

The 292e - Dynamics Manager - Buchla's answer to the VCA but also appears to act like a Low Pass Filter."
