Song Creation with the DSI Mono Evolver Keyboard + Moog Sub 37 Synth + Korg Wavedrum


Song Creation with the DSI Mono Evolver Keyboard + Moog Sub 37 Synth + Korg Wavedrum from Craig Anthony Perkins on Vimeo.

"A little performance music video I did the other night to show my song creation process... this is still a rough work-in-progress that I'll probably never finish, but still worth hearing all the way through if you can. Featuring the Dave Smith Instruments Mono Evolver Keyboard, the Moog Sub 37 Tribute Edition synth, and the Korg Wavedrum Global Edition. Recorded into Ableton Live 9 Suite with additional Piano track played using the Ableton Push controller.

Video shot with the Fujifilm X-E1 camera. Edited in Final Cut Pro X. Atomic blast footage is from a public domain film found at the Prelinger Archive.

Vermona and Solina Synthesizers

Published on Aug 5, 2014 Chris Montanaro

"Vermona synthesizer = AMAZING."


via this auction

"Everything works great! A previous owner converted the 5 pin din headphone jack to another high out which could be easily reversed but the conventional 1/4" jacks are still stock giving you both high and low outputs. The keys, push-buttons, knobs and wheels work flawlessly and probably will for a long time since this was built using high quality components throughout. The original wooden side pieces had some holes drilled in them over the years so new solid poplar wood ends were installed replacing the veneered press-board originals. I'll also include the original wood sides for the winner to save or possibly restore sometime. I'll pack it extremely well and ship it for free. This is auction is for USA only.

Here is a video of this exact synthesizer playing a solo accompanied by the Solina. It was recorded with my phone but still sounds good enough to demonstrate what this really sounds like."

via this auction

"Also included is the Eurorack mounting plate should you wish to rackmount this in your setup. I had this mounted but I had to use thinner screws than the standard since the screw holes could do with drilling out slightly. I screwed it into a tiptop rack which has cheap replaceable thread rails. The plate also restricts the movement of CV/KBD when on so there is another hole that would benefit from being drilled out. So while it's fine the plate wasn't created perfect. I'm throwing it in as a freebie rather than ebaying it separately."

Analogue Solutions Eurokorn, Telemark-K, and SCI Pro One Synth Jam


Published on Sep 8, 2014 rezfilter

"Headphones or speakers recommended!

Here's a quick phone capture (with proper audio) of the Analogue Solutions Telemark-K and SCI Pro One synths being driven (live) by the eurorack Eurokorn (Oberkorn) analogue sequencer.

These two synths enjoy playing together.

Also featured in this video are the Concussor drum modules, also being driven by the Eurokorn.

Although this footage was captured on a mobile phone, the audio was fed directly into Logic.

Why was this captured? To preserve the moment of course!

E-MU Emulator III Demo by INHALT


Published on Sep 8, 2014 INHALTVIDEO

"If you like what you hear and would like to hear more please like our page on Facebook at:
https://www.facebook.com/INHALT.US

The E-MU Emulator III Sampler has to be our top pick for the warmest, most synth-like vintage sampler. It's big, it sounds like a dream, and is stuffed with 16 voices of pure analog filter goodness. INHALT approves.

These are all custom patches that we constructed from sampling direct into the EIII. None are from the factory bank. Most make heavy use of the filtering and other "synth" parameters on the EIII. This was all played by hand and recorded in Pro Tools HD via a Neve Portico preamp."

Voices of an analog


Published on Sep 8, 2014 skoulaman .

"It took a while but after I recieved the excellent CD 'Moments lost' it inspired me to make this one. On that CD they had used old analog gear. The title of my track is referring to the old JUNO 106 synth who is starting to have problems with the voice chips but still sounds fantastic.

Thanks for listening

Jam with Teenage Engineering OP-1, MicroGranny 2.0 & Volca Bass


Published on Sep 8, 2014 space travel made easy

"A little jam with Teenage Engineering OP-1 Synthesizer, a Korg Volca Bass and a Bastl Instruments MicroGranny 2.0 Granular Sampler.

The OP-1 is playing drums and a synth part. Most are on effects send to the MS-70CDR for reverb/space effect. The Volca bass is also running through the Kaoss Pad.

Everything is synced via a Kenton USB Midi Host - so that when play is pressed on the OP-1 the Volca starts too and the Midi clock is also sent to the MicroGranny 2.0 so if I was playing with the knobs it would stay in time."

Synthrotek Eko Meets Geophone


Published on Sep 8, 2014 drumasaurusrex

"Using one of two geophone components I scored off ebay last Spring to modulate the delay rate on the Synthrotek Eko module. These are loads of fun. The voltage range is low by itself, but useful for subtle warbles. Could easily be amplified or offset. The video shows the result of the unadulterated output being input into the Eko with the rate knob set just below the 'breaking point'. These are definitely going to get some use in the studio this week.

PS: they are wonderfully sensitive. I think the two of them together cost me 5 bucks."

TED Max For Live Editable LFO & Function Generator

"TED is a Max For Live highly editable LFO that may act also as a function generator. With TED’s signal, you can modulate any parameter in Ableton Live: from other devices’s parameter, to Live’s UI, to any third party plug-in.

TED is very easy to use: just click the “select” toggle, then click the parameter in your Ableton Live set to apply its modulation signal.

It is composed of three main areas: the main oscillator, with 6 morphable waveforms (SINE <-> TRIANGLE <-> SAWTOOTH <-> PULSE 50%/50% <-> PULSE 90%/10% <-> RANDOM ), a sample and hold circuit with adjustable amount, and an effect section.

The effect section contains a wave-folding effect that may act as wave-folder, wave-wrapper or wave-clipper, a smoothing effect and a scalable output, where you can select the minimum and the maximum range of modulation.

TED is also CV/GATE compatible, to use with your CV/GATE compatible hardware, as a modular system. Please note that in order to use the CV/GATE feature a DC coupled audio interface or D/A converter is required."
