Quicksilver 606 Features Overview
Published on Apr 4, 2013

"We go over some of the new features of the Quicksilver 606 CPU upgrade for the TR-606. We cover individual instrument accents, 32 step patterns, MUTE and ROLL, randomize, rotate, reverse and some MIDI capabilities."

---

PRESS RELEASE:

"Dallas, TX, April 04, 2013 - Exactly one year after the successful release of the Quicksilver 303, Social Entropy is pleased to announce the Quicksilver 606 CPU upgrade. Quicksilver 606 is a completely new replacement CPU for the classic TR-606 drum machine. The operating system has been rewritten from the ground up.

The Quicksilver 606 introduces the capability to accent individual instrument triggers. A mix of accented and unaccented triggers can be placed on the same step. This ability makes it possible to program much more expressive patterns that weren’t possible on the original TR-606.

A new MUTE/ROLL mode has been added specifically for realtime performance.
MUTE mode allows muting of individual instrument tracks. Mutes can be applied in realtime and stored with a pattern or applied globally across patterns.
ROLL mode creates a note repeat of selected instruments. The time division of the roll can be changed in realtime for dynamic build-ups and variations.

Patterns can now be up to 32 steps in length, split across two 16 step sections. When extending a pattern from 16 to 32 steps, pattern data can copied automatically into the new section. Up to sixteen patterns can be chained for playback.

The sequencing engine supports standard grid and tap programming methods. A new realtime record capability also allows patterns to be entered live with a MIDI controller, with incoming velocity used to dynamically set accents.

Functions like copy and paste, randomize, rotate and reverse can be applied to individual instruments or entire patterns.


The extended track mode allows for complete songs to be constructed using patterns. Each track step has settings for instrument mutes, multiple repeats or pattern chains.

Changing between modes can be performed without stopping the sequencer. All data is stored in EEPROM memory, eliminating the need for batteries.

Enhanced MIDI connectivity provides synchronization, sequencer input and output, as well as a new "MIDI Control Mode" which allows the buttons of the TR-606 to be controlled remotely by any device that can send MIDI note messages.

Full MIDI System Exclusive support means that pattern and track data can be dumped to external devices for backup or sharing. USB MIDI can also be used for direct connection to various USB host devices.

USB connectivity is also used for easy operating system upgrades.

The Quicksilver 606 is available for immediate purchase. Price for the base CPU is $275 USD, with free installation for a limited time.

ARP 2600 on a Napkin

via The Guvnor

"Basically, my ARP 2600 has been in pieces about 10 years, since I took it apart to service it. The disaster happened when my basement was cleared out and I lost the service manual for it. The online service manuals found on the popular sites do not have the circuit/wiring diagrams for all the PCBs so mine was not included. Recently I have located my original service manual after 10 years, and I am now ready for the great 2600 rebuild and resurrection. The napkin was intended to show the years of angst through the eyes of PackRat himself when the only 2600 I had was made by Arturia!"

Electric Blanket

"All Ensoniq SQ80 with some VST effects to make things a bit punchier, LOVE THAT THING, I only wish there were slightly more drum patches available.."

"Electric Blanket is the new musical disc by New Zealand's perpetually inventive Disasteradio. An isometric-topdown contemplation on post-synthpop, a collection of complex puzzles made of twisting pre-web 2.0 nostalgia. Experiments in alt. time signature danceability, mundane simulation computer-jazz and high-tech/low-tech life augmentation solutions. Electric Blanket is that virtual-companion, Iolo as musical consultant, guiding you through the treacherous terrain of NOW-MUSIC. Six songs of simple-as-Mandelbrot melodies, refill-brain-maze grooves and complex-strategies as life affirming anthems.

Disasteradio (Luke Rowell) has been crafting his self-informed pop-music for the last 10 years. A career of effortless DIY fortified with Rowell's innate knack for imbuing his songs with an unrivalled stoner-academic wit. Coming off the back of his debut release under his other adult-contemporary/new-age pseudonym EYELINER, Luke has donned the Disasteradio moniker again to challenge you to not-not dance along with Electric Blanket.

Comfort yourself today with the lcd-radiance that is Disasteradio's Electric Blanket, like the prerequisite space-adventurers towel it's ill advised to be on-line without it.

Kosmos Script for Kontakt Demonstration

Published on Apr 4, 2013

"This video is not very musical but demonstrates playing with the parameters in Kosmos a synth front end developed using Kontakt scripting. It is used by hgsounds products and a lite version of Infekted is available for free from hgsounds.com on the Infekted page.

Apologes for the glitchy audio in places, still haven't perfected screencasting from asio...

Kosmos is basically a 2 oscillator Synth each with it's own selectable filter type and AMP Envelope. There are selectable waveforms usually from a selection of 40-50 which are provide by sampled instruments. The Filter Cutoff/Resonance is shared between the 2 Filters.

There is a dedicated Filter Envelope with Amount, Attack and Decay, a LFO dedicated to the Filter Cutoff with selectable shapes, Amount and Frequency, and an amount for Velocity to Filter Cutoff.

The FX Section is made up of Reverb, Tempo Delay and a modulator which can be either a Flanger, Phaser or Chorus at various speeds.

There is also a sophisticated randomization section which has various modes for Randomizing different parts of the preset.

"SquareSynth is a polyphonic 8- bit sound synthesizer. To tell you the truth, when I downloaded it, I thought that it was one more "poor" miniSynth... In fact, SquareSynth is really interesting... For example, its arpeggiator and the the control of the wave type are really really great... check out the video demo... At the moment, the only real drawback is that you can't record your performances and share them, but it seems that the developer is working on it... A Super miniSynth!"

Driscoll Analog Synthesizer - Test 2

Published on Apr 4, 2013

"Exploring the Driscoll Modular.
This was built in Australia in the late 70's , early 80's (I think)
by Julian Driscoll.
Very similar to the early Serge though not a clone.
These Driscoll panels were comissioned & used by Warren Burt.
http://www.warrenburt.com/

They were a small part of his collection
of early Serge / Driscoll synths that are currently being restored (12 panels in total)
much of which he built himself.

This is second test videos for my techos who will be restoring this bit of synth history.
It's wonderful to hear these old Driscolls (and the odd Serge). They have been silent for too long.

Many thanks to Warren for this opportunity to hear & use his synths."

nils +sphero light/control test

Published on Apr 4, 2013

"This is a test using sphero with nils. It is also using audiobus connecting sinusoid as an input to nils. Sphero streams gyroscope data to nils, which is used to control the sample rate (or any other 3 parameters the user chooses) and nils sends sound meter data to sphero, to control its light. Coming soon. I am pretty excited anyway...

"The Sidrassi Organus has seven pressure sensitive bars, which you press to express the seven tones within. Use the buttons on the front to scroll through tunings, which then remain set to what you chose. There is a master pitch knob, as well as a master chaos knob. There are 42 nodes to touch or weave with wire, making weird and unique tone and gesture combinations. Press a bar, its sound goes left, release it, its sound goes right; it has a stereo influence. The Sidrassi is an Organ, designed to reflect the glory of god with pure triangular voices. But it also allows exploration of the Devils' Tone, which is irrational pitch relationships achieved through analog modulations. The instrument runs on transformer ("wall-wart"). The standard model uses wooden bars, but please inquire for other possibilities."

Folktek Luminist Garden

via this auction

"The Luminist Garden created by Arius Blaze - one of the finest and sweetest sounding folktek works. This work is an expanded version of the Micro Garden, capable of making lush choral waves and entire compositions as a standalone work. The expanded soundboard has multiple pick ups that run into the delay - which offers time settings from extremely tight notated repeats to about 1.5 seconds with near infinite undecaying feedback that essentially acts as a looper allowing one to make beats by tapping the board and plucking or rubbing the strings.

The delay runs into a very lush and unusual "wave reverb" that has the ability to act more as a wave generator, creating waves that can endlessly extend - based on the original note but with the ability to pitch shift the feedback, resulting in something like what is called "convolution". The result is rich electronic music from an accoustic source. Sweet ambience and micro musical. Stereo out, custom lamps and switch, runs on 9v DC power adapter (standard plug jack and power rating)."
