Magnetic Field: Voyager 12

Published on Apr 3, 2015 Miguel d'Oliveira

"track made with a DSI prophet 12 + Moog Voyager (run though a strymon Timeline + Blue Sky pedals).
Every single pass was edited (chopped, reversed, etc...) + processed a great deal (pitch-shifted, time-stretched, etc ...) in Ableton Live."

Pedals on a Prophet 12

Published on Jan 25, 2015 Miguel d'Oliveira

"Running a prophet 12 through 3 pedals (Strymon Blue Sky + Timeline and a Moog Clusterflux) trying to add character to the sound of a factory preset.
I could have made the texture a bit more interesting by running MIDI into the P12 and using both hands to tweak the controls on the pedals."

So There's That

"Funky disco track or something in the vicinity.
Short track I wrote as an excuse to go crazy with the Monopoly."

Vintage Studiomaster Modulation Source

"Vintage new old stock for an SF805 Modulation Source module from the Studiomaster Studiofex system. Studiomaster described the Studiofex as "a fully modular studio effects system which brings together both the features and the performance which today's music demands". The module is 4U high and utilizes +/- 15 volts DC. It comes in the original foam padded box, it has the original manual with full installation and operating instructions, mounting scrws and decal for rear panel as well as a pinout diagram for the connector socket."

A description I found on the Internet claims:
'The SF805 Modulation Source is capable of producing not only regular, cyclic voltages with all the smoothness of a sinewave, bit also other waveshapes, trigged single sweeps, single controlled modulation depth and even signal envelope following modulation. Two outputs are provided, each with an independent DEPTH control so that two devices can be modulated simultaneously.'

KORG POLY 61 with MIDI + Filter & Env Mods

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

via this auction

"UPGRADES:

• MIDI In & MIDI Thru (Both use Channel 6)

• Realtime knob control over the Cutoff, Resonance, Attack, Decay, Sustain, & Release

The Korg Poly 61 is an amazing sounding synthesizer, great for those woozy sounding BOC style pads, as well as basses, and unusual sounds that you can't quite get on a Roland.
With this unit, you won't have to worry about all of the common issues the Poly 61 is known for (leaky battery, bad keys, etc)."

ELECTROCLASH DroneCrash OCTATRACK JUNO-60 TR-77 VOLCA beats GUITAR (Phantom II Hubsan X4 Crash) #33

"ElectroClash meets Drone Crash with ELEKTRON Octatrack, ROLAND Juno 60 & TR-77, KORG Volca Beats & E-Guitar.
contains spectacular VIDEO of HUBSAN X4 107 crashing DJI PHANTOM II (the reason why we didn't fly the last two months)
Octatrack session live recorded with main theme routed to external FX (EHX Deluxe MM TT1100, Ibanez ES2 & Neunaber Wet Stereo Reverb) and back into Octatrack!
The Soundscape/Ambient part with lots of delay feedback of 3 different delays was cut from the end to the beginning because its the perfect soundtrack for the Drone Crash footage

3 tracks/loops of Juno 60 (lead, pad & bass), TR-77 and Guitars have been prerecorded with Octatrack.
Rolands oldest drum machine TR-77 from 1973 (no Midi, no clock) is synced to a sequenced klck and starts new at every bar.
plays together with Korgs latest analog drum Volca Beats (sequenced with RPE SEQ12 Matrix Sequencer)

HOPE YOU ENJOY my latest remix live SESSION with the DRONE CRASH VIDEO :-)

Nantes Synthfest 2015 Pics Including Beautiful White ARP 2600

Beautiful white ARP 2600 at Synthfest 2015 Nantes France this weekend via Khoral's Cafe 80 where you'll find more pics of the event.

"Synth enthusiasts unite! That's in Nantes, France this weekend.

I had the opportunity to play on a number of vintage synths (Prophet-5, Korg PS-3100, Moog Source) but also recreations of ARP 2600, and obviously the new Korg Odyssey.

Oh, and there was Yves Usson, who helped design the excellent Arturia Minibrute."

Moog Voyager Select Series w Hard Case SN SS 0827 with Custom White LEDs

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

"Up for sale is my Moog Voyager (Lunar Whitewash) custom with white LED's built in Asheville NC. This synth has been the cornerstone of many of my projects, providing solid bass and leads for many tracks. Everything Functions like the day it came out of the box, it's never left my smoke free studio and has been kept super clean. Its been hard for me to come to a point where I might think of selling it, but that day has come, and I have to say goodbye. It comes with a Moog hard case, which would ensure safe travels, however this is a pretty heavy package and USPS might give me some problems. The Voyager weights 40lbs and the Case alone is 28lbs combined that's about 70lbs!.."

ARP Odyssey: filters (part 2)

Published on Apr 4, 2015 QuirqUK

"Demonstration of the sound and functionality of an ARP Odyssey II synthesizer from the 1970s, concluding the look at the filters.

This video finishes the exploration of the capabilities of the low-pass voltage-controlled filter (VCF), then looks at the non-voltage-controlled high-pass filter and briefly touches on the two envelope generators.

Being a model 2811 Odyssey II, the filter is the 4075, ARP-design (i.e. non-patent infringing) 4-pole type.

The Odyssey is recorded direct with no pre- or post-processing."

"8 HP Eurorack Sequencer for June WAMod workshop, four stages but with fwd/reverse control so you can get some pretty complex sequences happening when feeding it 2 diffrent clock signals. Two CV outs giving the opposite count of each other, so if one is giving 1234123..., the other is going 4321432...
Also there is a clock divider giving /2, /4, /8 & /16 of the count (which of course gets really interesting when the fwd/reverse control is in action)"

Music For Easels Excerpts

"Here are a few excerpts from our recent CD. [previously posted here]

We are excited to announce the release of our new CD: Music for Easels!
CD available here: www.cdbaby.com/cd/bartonbayardmononymscram
Digital downloads available soon on iTunes, Amazon, etc.

This is a live recording of a rare convergence on November 7, 2014 at the Schneider Museum of Art in Ashland, Oregon where Todd Barton, Bruce Bayard, Eden Mononym and Adam Scramstad gathered to explore the improvised interactions of four Buchla Music Easels.

In this historic performance these Oregon sound artists met in quadraphonic space surrounding the audience with speakers, offering them a unique listening experience. The CD is a stereo mix of all four channels.

The five tracks on this live performance album range from the world premiere of Todd Barton's composition, Butoh for Easels, to compelling solo improvisations by Eden and Adam to exciting ensemble soundscapes."
