Korg Arp Sound Odyssey

Published on May 13, 2015 gstormelectro

"All video and audio by G-Storm Electro (c)2015
http://gstormelectronica.blogspot.com

Some analog sounds for your listening pleasure. Picked up the Oddy to quell my desire for some of the 2600 mojo, you know, quirky droid sounds and the like. But also Carpenter style bass pulses, simple strings, wacky Sample-Hold tricks, and not forgetting Ring Mod.

Recorded directly, mostly free of external effects. My shots try to show the settings for each sound best as possible, little thought given to my banal performance on those dreadful slimkeys. Some instances of LFO auto-repeat, very useful for patch creation without playing the keys. At the end I hook up the Beatstep for sequencing fun."

Nova Musik - Studiologic Sledge 2.0 with Chris Martirano

Published on May 13, 2015 Nova Musik

"Check out great deals on Studiologic Sledge 2.0 at Nova Musik: http://www.novamusik.com/instruments/...

The original Studiologic Sledge had a great concept: marry a state-of-the-art digital synth engine from Waldorf Music with a knob-per-function panel layout based on a traditional subtractive synthesis signal flow, giving you all of the benefits of DSP modeling synthesis without the tedious menu-diving that plagues other digital synths.

Now, with a new operating system dubbed Sledge 2.0, Studiologic and Waldorf Labs have added even more power and versatility with the ability to load and play back user samples either on their own or in concert with the rest of the synth engine. A handy free Mac/PC utility allows you to edit your samples and upload them to Sledge. They've also added some extra performance features, including an Auto Dual mode for easy splits and layers and more granular pitch and hold/sustain controls."

Demo of Mannequins Mangrove VCO: waveforms and modulation

Published on May 13, 2015 wellurban

"A plain demonstration of the Mangrove's timbral possibilities, with oscilloscope view to show the variety of waveforms, leading in to an exploration of modulation. In this demo I just explore the Air, Formant and Barrel controls: I hope to demonstrate its FM, sync, self-modulation and "constant formant" capabilities in a later video.

The Mangrove's outputs go straight into a mixer then audio interface: not filtering, compression or EQ applied."

"8 synth channels (think simmons) with in/out for triggers and individual channel mixing, a mixing section for stereo outs, bass, treble and mid adjustment and a built in very basic sequencer pre-programmed rhythm which you can adjust to the tempo to. Individual channel triggers. I have used my ddrum4 pads to trigger this unit and they all work as do the outs. Sounds Huge.

8 trigger inputs
Individual outputs + stereo main outputs and headphone output
One special Bass drum channel
One special Snare channel
Six completely tuneable oscillator synth channels
All channels have these controls - Level, Pan, Trigger Sensitivity, Decay, Bite, Noise Filter, Noise + VCO mix, VCO pitch and VCO Sweep
All channels have Pulse button - Pulse generates an in temp trigger, good to get you tweaking right away
All channels have Preset Mode button - allows two different sound settings"

It appears to be just the knobs, but it does make quite the difference from the original white.

Thought this was pretty cool. Instead of the typical EKG jagged lines, you have a pulse clock.

The Photolin - Light Sensitive Electronic Musical Instrument in the Shape of a Violin

Thesis Performance - Photolin Published on May 13, 2015 Brendan Byrne

Photoresistor Violin + Max Patch

via Brendan Byrne where you'll find an additional video:

"Photolin is a light sensitive electronic musical instrument based on the form and mechanical functionality of a violin. The most distinctive feature of the instrument is its programmable LED bow. The body of the Photolin contains two photoresistors which detect the light emitting from the bow and translate this information to determine the output volume. On the fretboard, a ribbon sensor detects the player's position to determine the pitch of the note produced.

An accompanying Max patch allows the player to calibrate the instrument's light and ribbon sensors as well as determine the pattern produced by the bow. Current patterns include all, gradient, random, and variable speed pulse modes for the player to experiment with. The sonic output is composed of a mono risset oscillator and heavy delay."

Animodule System patch "Sand Cricket"

Published on May 13, 2015 SGE

"I wanted to put together a house/techno patch. All sounds from the box, recorded live. Effects are a Roland RE-20 and Eventide Space. The kick is a SOB filter in self oscillation, the snare is a square wave from a LMVCO being FM'd by noise, going into the Space pedal which gives it that 'sucking' sound."

The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger | Devil You Know | MOOG SOUND LAB

Published on May 13, 2015 Moog Music Inc

"The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger (The GOASTT) re-imagine 'The Devil You Know' from the album Midnight Sun. Upon entering the Moog Sound Lab, the band traded in their guitars and acoustic instruments for an array of analog synthesizers. Sean Lennon commands a Sub 37 while Charlotte Kemp Muhl carries the bass on a Sub Phatty. Both singers' voices are affected with a pair of Moog 500 Series Analog Delays. Tim Kuhl drives the rhythm section via electronic drum triggers controlling 6x Minimoog Voyager RMEs. Robbie Mangano performs with an Electric Blue Minimoog Voyager and Jared Samuel rounds out the track with a second Sub 37."
