2013 Summer of Synth Sessions Boulder #01 Octatrack Meets Absynth

Published on Jun 15, 2013 Mark Mosher·54 videos

http://www.MarkMosherMusic.com

"I normally do all my composition and production work indoors. I decided it was just about time to do some sessions outdoors considering the fantastic summer weather and locations we have here in Boulder. Here is my first session "#01 Octatrack meets Absynth" (watch embedded video).

Octatrack

I'm just getting started with the Elektron Octatrack performance sampler but I decided it would a perfect instrument to kick off a summer session as it's possible to do entire compositions with effects from this one box. I'm finding that playing it from the front panel even without the sequencer can be incredibly expressive even though it doesn't have velocity sensitive buttons. The secret sauce is in the morphing scenes. You can create up to 16 scenes each with it's own parameter settings. You then assign one of these to either Scene A or B on-the-fly. You can then morph between the settings of each scene with the incredibly sensitive optical crossfader which causes the Octatrack to smoothly interpolate between A & B parameter settings. In a nutshell, you are able to control and perform with incredible amount of number shaping parameters in realtime.

#01 Octatrack meets Absynth

I've seen a lot of beat-driven videos so I thought it would be fun to do an ambient piece. This piece is an original improvisation recorded in real-time in one pass playing Octatrack buttons in Chromatic mode. No sequencing is used. There are 3 tracks of audio samples being played. The source samples were rendered from Absynth and include 1) a factory patch called Choiromechanoidz 2) A custom Absynth granular synth patch based on a custom Aalto patch I sampled 3) A custom absynth patch called Broken FM -- pure FM synthesis. The piece makes heavy use of morphong with the crossfader, scene switching on the fly, FX morphing on on tracks and via chained effects (Neighbor Machine).

Sun Position and Aspen Trees

I didn't intend this, but I happened to line the Octatrack up with the shadow of the roof. The piece is long enough and the shadow is close enough to the edge of the instrument that you can easily observe the earth's rotation via the shadow movement. I finish right as the sunlight is about to hit the Octatrack. You can also see a reflection of the Aspen trees above me in the Octatrack's display.

A note to my fellow artists - the Octratrack display and LEDs are easily visible outside as long as you are not in direct sunlight.

Ribbon Controller Test Coagula build

Published on Jun 15, 2013 davidryle·113 videos

Audio comes in at 1:45.

"A test of the MIDI Ribbon Controller designed by Giuseppe Di Cillo. This is a prototype until I have all the rest of the project finished. The MIDI is implemented via an Arduino Uno R3 board and the sketch by Giuseppe. It is his first sketch prior to the more complex build with an LCD and menu dialog. Very simple and perfect for combining the MIDI output with a modular. I have since added a CV and GATE output to the modular panel which allows the ribbon controller to output analog and digital (MIDI) at the same time. This video doesn't show the later use of the modular analog signals.

The ribbon strips were made by Spectra Symbol and Interlink and were bought from Sparkfun dot com.

A detailed build guide and software for the Arduino can be found at Giuseppe's wonderful blog. coagula dot org."

Minibrute



"First proper mess around with the Minibrute last night. I've had it a few months now but have really only recently started to play it on regular basis.
It has a depth that is hard to appreciate without giving it time to get into all the nuances. It is certainly not as immediate as an old analogue but is potentially much more versatile.
As for the track, apart from the drums it is all MB."

Yamaha's desktop DX-7, unfortunately not programmable via the front panel. DX-7 editors including ones for the iPad should work with it though.

I had an interesting conversation with someone once regarding the original DX7 and TX7 vs. FM synthesis on newer models & software synths.  He argued that although the synthesis engine might be the same, the originals sound better to him due to the DACs (Digital to Analog audio Converter).  He said the same for Roland's D50 vs. the D50 card for the V-Synth.

Koma Elektronik BD-101 Delay Pedal

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"The BD101 Analog Gate / Delay is an innovative voltage controlled analog delay in combination with a fully adjustablewide frequency range gate. The BD101 is capable of providing bit crushing effects, resonant frequencies, fast shifts between heavy delayed and cranked up sounds and super short pulses, with whatever instrument you want to plug into it.

With the on board infrared expression controller the user is able to override / control all the front panel controls by moving their hands or feet over it, which makes the pedal a versatile and powerful tool for use live or in the studio. The BD101 can be used as a standalone pedal, but is also ready to be used in combination with other KOMA Elektronik pedals and, for instance, a (modular) synthesizer through the 10-socket audio and CV patch bay. The on board infrared expression controller can also be used as a standalone feature.

The CV and audio patch bay allows control of Gate Speed, Gate Amount, Delay Time, Delay Feedback and gives the possibility to synchronize the pedal with an external clock signal. It also gives the possibility to make an external effects loop which allows the user to send out the processed feedback signal, run it through other effects and feed it back into the pedal.

Features

Slide controls for Input Gain and Delay Blend for more control while playing
On board infrared expression controller, can be used as a standalone CV feature
CV control for Gate Speed, Gate Amount, Delay Time and Delay Feedback
CV input for External Clock signals and synchronization with other KOMA Elektronik pedals
CV attenuators on the back of the pedal to fine-tune the CV inputs
Send/Return Insert for external processing of BBD Feedback signals
A wide frequency range Gate / Amplitude Modulation; choose between High, Mid and Low
Multiple Gate shapes; Ramp, Pulse and Sawtooth."

Koma Elektronik FT-201 Filter Sequencer Pedal

Perfect Circuit Audio (RSS)

"The FT201 Analog Filter / 10-Step Sequencer is our innovative voltage controlled vactrol state variable filter combined with a 10 step sequencer. The FT201 is capable of providing ultra low and high frequency filter effects which are controllable with the on board infrared expression controller, which allows the user to create filter sweeps by moving their feet or hands over the pedal. The FT201 has 3 different filter outputs: bandpass, low pass and high pass, which all work simultaneously. The cutoff frequency range is very large, between 20 Hz and 20 kHz and because of the vactrols used the sound quality is superb.

The 10 Step Sequencer runs through the selected amount of steps (2 – 10 steps) and adds the control voltage to the value set by the Cutoff knob, thus modulating the cutoff frequency in every step.

Just like the BD101, the FT201 can be used as a stand alone pedal, linked to other KOMA Elektronik effect pedals or as a controller for a (modular) synthesizer or other CV receptive electronic instruments. The CV and audio patch bay allows control of the Resonance, Sequencer Reset, Cutoff and gives the user the possibility to synchronize the pedal with an external clock signal.

Features

Three filter outputs; Bandpass, Low pass and High pass, which all work simultaneously
Slide controls for Input Gain and Resonance for more control while playing
On board infrared expression controller, can be used as a standalone CV feature
CV control for Resonance, Sequencer Reset, Cutoff
CV input for External Clock signals and synchronization with other KOMA Elektronik pedals
CV attenuators on the back of the pedal to fine-tune the CV inputs"

Eowave Magma Analog Bassline Synth

Perfect Circuit Audio (RSS)

"MAGMA is an analogue bassline synthesizer inspired by classical synths from the 1980s. It offers the possibility to mix 4 different waveforms (saw, square, sub, noise). The 24 dB low-pass filter is also inspired from classical filters from the 80s. To this particular sound of the 80s, we added a touch of modernity with modern controls and parameters saving features. The 16 steps sequencer has 4 rows: 1 for the notes and 3 freely assignable to a parameter of your choice that enables to create living sequences with sonorities like Vince Clark or Yann Hammer."

Eowave Domino Analog Synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"DOMINO is a discrete analogue synthesizer with a VCO in the tradition of MS20 and TB303. The VCO, filter & VCA are transistor made. This transistor architecture gives DOMINO a unique raw sound. Rich and raw at the same time, no need of external effects to give life to the sound.

The VCO offers a mix between sawtooth and square. Pulsewidth can be modulated by the LFO. The filter is a low-pass 24dB resonant filter. The analogue envelope range is from 1ms to 10s with attack, decay, sustain/release.The LFO has 8 different waveforms. On waveform 8, the modulation wheel can replace the LFO. MIDI CC 8 to 16 can transform the LFO in a sequencer to modulate pitch, pulsewidth, filter cutoff. The VCA can be modulated by a gate or by an envelope. In the legato mode, playing notes will generate glide between two notes. The glide time can be edited via MIDI CC. Additional features like a 8 steps sequencer, an arpeggiator and an accent recognition capability turns the Domino into a powerful tool.

Features

1 analogue oscillator from saw to square with tune and mix
LFO modulation
Pulsewidth modulation
24dB resonant filter
Envelope modulation and LFO modulation of the filter
LFO with Speed and Type parameters
LFO syncable to MIDI clock
Envelope with Attack, Decay, Sustain
