Using the Microsoft Surface Pro to Edit the Clavia Nord Modulars

Clavia Nord Modular (and G2) editors + Microsoft Surface Pro demo

Published on Oct 5, 2013 acemonvw·63 videos

I'm actually the person referred to in the video that asked about using the Surface Pro to edit the Clavia Nord Modular (I have the Micro Modular). Big thanks to acemonvw for testing this out! I was curious if the touch interface would work well. It appears that with the pen it indeed does. One thing I didn't think about though, was whether the Micro Modular would be recognized by the editor running on Windows 8. You'd think it would but someone I know and trust wasn't so sure. Also, I recently switched to a Mac and tried the editor using Wine which runs Windows programs. The editor picked up my MIDI device but oddly it did not pick up the Micro Modular.  If anyone out there has a Nord Modular and a Surface Pro, let us know if the editor picks up the hardware and works with it.  Regardless, the G2 editor does work, produces audio and best of all, it is free.  If you have a Surface Pro, you have a free modular.

Update: it looks like it works with the Roland UM-ONE MIDI out on Windows 8 as you can see in this video with an Acer W510.

Video description:
"This demo goes through using the Nord Modular (0:00) and G2 (6:00) editors on the Surface Pro. If you want to just know 'Does the Surface Pro work well with these editors?' my answer is 'yes, but...'

The 'but' being that it seemed most useful using the pen throughout. While I at first felt that your fingers would work fine for knob twisting and such, even on the Nord Modular editor (not G2), I looked back at the video and felt that my finger still had trouble catching the knobs. However, I would say WITH the pen, you would have very little trouble using the editors. I hope you enjoyed the video and that it provided you with some insight into this combination. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you :)"

"at long last, the Lunchbox system joins with the mighty white 9u for a digital and analog duet. high density sounds, this one gets loud. all sounds sequenced from Little MIDI sequencer on the ipad - also involved are monotribe, vocals, and a few guitar pedals as usual. i quite like this one - this is the third take, and by this point i was pretty amped and pushing the yamaha mixer very hard - hence the breakup.

also, i'm having a son sometime this upcoming week! someday there will be a little crunk in my videos..."

Interfacing Roland SH-101 with Analogue Solutions Europa Sequencer


Published on Oct 5, 2013 zibbybone·127 videos

"One of my subscribers needed help interfacing his SH-101 with the Europa sequencer. In this video, I demonstrate clocking the SH-101's arpeggiator and internal sequencer to the Europa using one of its 7 drum triggers. In this instance, I used trigger "B" since it did not have a drum assigned to the MIDI note number on the Roland R-8M. First, I program a steady stream of eighth notes and then sixteenth notes. I also experiment with dropping various steps to create a pattern. The simple bass line used in this video is from a Novation BassStation rack synth. I added some delay to the 101 with the Lexicon MX400.

Next, I hook up a Roland MPU-101 MIDI to CV converter box to control the SH-101 from the Europa sequencer."

Highsage - AnalogFloor (HQ live acid run)

Published on Oct 5, 2013 highsage·74 videos

"Inspired by the Monthly Acid Pattern for Oct 2013. Acid line written by Guy A Williamson.
Decided to go with the A4/Machinedrum just for grins... what a ride this one was!
Thanks to @DyLabs for keeping the monthly acid pattern alive still...feels good to participate again. Note: the bass knocks the camera over part way through, but have no fear, I pick it up and keep on filming. Audio is unaffected so this one is safe to bump to infinity."

New Hex Inverter Orbitals Eurorack Sequencer Module

via Hex Inverter on Facebook

"I've been getting asked a lot lately when sympleSEQ dual eurorack PCBs/kits are coming back into stock. The answer is: NEVAR!

sympleSEQ MkII went on an epic adventure into outer space and came back as Orbitals -- a dual 8-step or single 16-step bipolar, voltage controlled linear sequencer in eurorack!

YES there will be full kits, and they won't cost an arm and a leg either (well not for a sequencer this large, anyway...)

The developer/programmer, Peter Johnson did the coding while we worked together to make this a FUN, Kick Ass sounding synthesizer that is easy to get around and has totally useful and inspiring patches in it. I own MANY iOS synthesizers and few if none of them have as many solid, usable sounds as this one does - we focused on usable with attitude. Watch and I hope you agree."

Korg Volca Bass Demo, Is it Acid?


Published on Oct 5, 2013 anode8·48 videos

"Here's a demo of my brand new Korg Volca Bass synth. The Volca bass is an analog bass synthesizer with 3 voltage controlled oscillators, running through a single voltage controlled filter. The design is an obvious homage to the Roland TB-303, but certainly updated to modern standards. This is only the second pattern I have programmed into this machine, but man is it fun to play with. This sequence is accompanied by a drum track I produced in Pro Tools, and run in sync with MIDI. I added a bit of reverb, otherwise what you hear is how this little machine sounds. Enjoy!"

FM-FLUX Free Sample Library Featuring the Yamaha PSS-470



"FM-FLUX is a new free sample library from Dark Side of the Tune.

Original sounds were created with the Yamaha PSS-470, a Digital FM synthesizer. To add organic modulation, and expand the stereo field, it was run through a Moogerfooger Cluster Flux flanger and chorus pedal. The results are piercing and lush: Crystalline digital precision combined with the warmth of analog modulation.
All samples are in 44.1kHz 24bit High Quality Audio and not normalized.

"Great cosmetic and perfect working condition this oberheim ob-xa synth has been professionally fitted with a real world interfaces midi interface which handles midi in and out, channel and splitmode data. Channels selected by the keyboard keys. The synth is a kult analogue polysynth with 8 voices and 16 oscillators.

Its a very powerful instrument sonically and with midi control its possible to use it as a midi controller keyboard as well as a 2 part analog sound module and it's a late model with patch memory of 120 programs or patches.

You can use double mode to double the patches and create very complex waveforms. Its a super musical synth with autotune function to keep it in tune. This synth has just been carefully restored with the keyboard completely overhauled new key bushings and lubricant. The keys realigned and j-wire triggers adjusted carefully for use as an accurate midi controller. with the RWI midi upgrade one button and switch have been added to the front panel to turn midi on and off and select modes, channels & functions as a panic button. Wood ends have some scratches but look good. Front panel some light scuffs and scratches but nothing that detracts significantly from the impressive machine."
