Crooked & 13th Gate Halloween Tracks

Two more Halloween tracks via The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge.

The first is Crooked by Dave O Mahony:  "1st try out with the new TR606. SH101 bass & pads. Tom Waits on vox. Done for the MuffWigglers Halloween post..."

The second is 13th gate from Mark Harrop: "Don't you hate it when you start patching a modular on Friday the 13th and end up opening the gates of hell?

Seems like that wasn't a copy of Allen Strange bound in human skin after all.

Stupidly simple patch. Synthi trap gen and uVCF modulated by S/H CV being mutated by Plague Bearer."

CLAVIA NORD LEAD 3 20-VOICE PERFORMANCE SYNTHESIZER

via this auction

"At first glance Nord Lead 3 may look like a 'beefed up' Nord Lead 2 but don't let your eyes fool you - it's a completely new synthesizer. With the first Nord Lead, Clavia introduced the "Virtual Analog" concept: analog synthesis emulated in real-time by digital signal processors, coupled with a fast and immediate 'one-knob-for-each-function' user interface. With Nord Lead 3 "Virtual Analog" is not a correct definition anymore - it can do so much more. Take for example the new sound engine: a combination of traditional shapable analog waveforms and an extremely user-friendly 2 or 4 operator FM engine. It's about all you need to create most types of electronic sounds. Like before, no samples or wavetables are used - everything is generated in real-time for outstanding sound quality and expressiveness. With Nord Lead 3 the 'Virtual Analog' synthesizer steps up to a higher level. That's why Nord calls it an 'Advanced Subtractive Performance Synthesizer.'.."

The Nord Lead 3 departed from the characteristic Nord Lead sound of the 1 and 2, which later returned again in the Nord Wave and now the 4.  It is definitely an interesting synth in history.

Final week to see Tristan Perich's Microtonal Wall at MoMA

"Sunday is the last day of the Museum of Modern Art's Soundings: A Contemporary Score

Each of the 1,500 speakers in Tristan Perich's Microtonal Wall is tuned to play a specific tone, dividing four octaves into 1,500 microtonal pitches across its 25-foot length. The resulting cloud of frequencies resembles white noise from a distance, transitioning into individual tones as the viewer approaches the piece.

MoMA's first major exhibition of sound art presents work by Luke Fowler, Toshiya Tsunoda, Marco Fusinato, Richard Garet, Florian Hecker, Christine Sun Kim, Jacob Kirkegaard, Haroon Mirza, Carsten Nicolai, Camille Norment, Tristan Perich, Susan Philipsz, Sergei Tcherepnin, Hong-Kai Wang, Jana Winderen, and Stephen Vitiello. Organized by Barbara London, Associate Curator, with Leora Morinis, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Media and Performance Art.

MOLDOVER's Four Track on KickStarter

via Kickstarter

"What's going on here!?!

Hi! My name is Moldover and I am ultra excited to announce the recording of my new album "Four Track"! It's inspired by a tape of songs I made when I was a kid. Back then, my music was simple and unpolished, but it came straight from the heart onto that tape. Now I'm bringing that soulful sincerity back into my music, and expanding it with new instruments, new sounds, and a whole new performance style. If you haven't already, please watch the video above to get the big picture!

What is that cassette-looking thing?

This album is my life's greatest work and I want it to be enjoyed by as many people as possible, but I can't release my new music as just a simple download. I needed to create something really special. For my last album I pioneered the idea of "instrument as packaging" with my Light Theremin CDs. I had a ton of fun making them and I learned so much that I decided to re-invent the idea for Four Track. The result is a cassette-sized instrument I call The Voice Crusher. Watch my Kickstarter video for a demonstration of how it works, and check out the rewards to your right if you think you might want one. Keep reading below for the full details of its design and production..."

"It took a long time but, okay, a new track. There are some recording mistakes at the end due to to loud input. The video is not made during the live recording but afterwards, you can see that the sequencer (the Doepfer Dark Time) is still running. At this moment I am very busy creating new music and recording the sequences in the Roland D5 groovebox because I want to perform live with audience. All the gear was used for this track, but I was inspired by the DX27 clock sound (it starts wit that sound). I loved the DX family dispite a lot of people who dosn't because its not phatt in sound.

New Oakley Stereo Ensemble Project SE330

"The raw sound is a simple sawtooth waveform from u-he's DIVA soft synth. The output of DIVA is fed out of the DAW and into the SE330. The output is SE330 is then fed back into the DAW for recording."

This is the raw sawtooth from DIVA at 0.01

The Dimension mode - light sinewave modulation and deeper triangle wave modulation at 0.09

Stereo mode - slightly dry with triangle modulation only at 0.30

The raw sawtooth dry and then fully wet in quad mode for that vintage string sound at 0.50

Vamped filtered chords and played through the SE330 in the dimension mode. at 1.17

Slow attack and release but still the same raw sawtooth input. This time on quad mode with both triangle and sinewave modulation. at 1.33"

via Oakleysound on electro-music.com

"Just to let you know that I've got a new PCB project available. This is based on the topology of the four stage stereo ensemble circuits of the VP330, RS505 and RS09. It also has modes to simulate other chorus and ensemble units.

It's not a clone but simply my version using currently available parts. However, it's a big project and is really designed to go into a 19" rack.

There's a selection of sound samples here:

"This is the full 8 voice version with the stock Moog 24db 4Pole LPF and the SEM 12db 2 Pole LP/BP/HP/Notch filters. The "OD" version adds a sine wave to oscillator one(1) on each voice and an overdrive/fuzz switch that adds some good old fashions fatness to the VCAs. This is a serious beast of an analog synth!! All analog components are fully discrete!! These are $5899 new! Get a super deal on this one!"
