Rings - Sympathetic Strings & “Disastrous Peace” Hidden Mode

Rings - Sympathetic Strings & "Disastrous Peace" Hidden Mode from Kial on Vimeo.

"In this video the audio is created only by Mutable Instruments 'Rings' running directly out of the Eurorack through a Digitech Polara for reverb. A simple sequence, and a couple of LFOs are used to control the module in 'Sympathetic Strings' mode. Then, the 'secret handshake' to enter the 'Disastrous Peace' mode is shared with some audio demonstrating the unique sounds of this mode. Recorded directly into Logic X through a MOTU 896HD @ 44.1kHz/24bit. No additional sound sources, post-processing, or FX were used."

"Working for the weekend" Loverboy Oberheim OBXa Keyboard

Published on Mar 27, 2016 synthartist69

"Just a Loverboy jam...this song makes me happy.... I believe it was originally done on an OBXa but not 100% sure...."

Update: someone mentioned he used a Prophet 5 and a Yamaha CS-50 at the time. Below is a video from them performing it live in 1983. You can see the CS50 on top at 2:58. Can't tell what's under it. The left side panels by the left knob box don't match a Prophet-5 or OB-Xa.

Update2: Turns out that is a custom case for the Prophet-5 that the CS60 sits on. Via the same source:

"He had a custom wood case built to hold the P5 under the CS. It sat on top of the electric grand. I actually talked to him about it when he stopped by Sweetwater when I worked there. He also used a Yamaha SS-30 string synth and sometimes a second P5 on his left."

Electribe Sampler as Super Saw Synthesizer | Pads & Drones Beat on KORG ES2

Published on Mar 17, 2016 RemixSample RemixSample

"http://instagram.com/remixsample

Testing the 'KORG Electribe Sampler' super saw synth generated by the analog modeling sound engine. No post processing, everything is generated by the KORG ES2 including mod delay.

I'm playing Trance melodies via midi out from Fl Studio. You can record the notes into the Electribe sequencer as well but 4 bars is usually not enough for an entire melody. The poly mode is a bit weird and so is the envelope controls, I don't really understand how to use it properly."

Korg's Volca bass can work as a 303 alternative but it's not a substitute. It's a lot of fun though!

BURG - Album Movement 13 (Roland TB-3, Elektron Analog Four, KORG volca sample)

Published on Mar 27, 2016 ollilaboratories

"If you like my stuff, please support me on http://music.ollilab.com

Alright, starting to get the feeling that im closing in on the total amount of tracks i need, eg to make a good selection for the short list. ... :)

So i wanted to create a slow, machine like, monotone track.. which i can use as an epilogue... i went for mechanic feel, just like a train that just keeps on going and never stops.. aim was on less textures and just a simple bass drone + a melody. Also the track has an intentional offbeat feel to throw you off sync, eg not accenting the first hit on the beat... eg, even though you think you know the rhythm, hearing the hihat and/or kickdrum will give you a small surprise :D

This is also a very stripped down session, using just the TB-3 + Volca sample passing through the A4, and then onto the Kaoss pad and Ms70 for added space and glitch.

Two melodies are played live on the A4

let me know what you think :)

cheers !"

2:00AM Experimental Ambient Session with the Radio Music Module

"This was just a quick, spur-of-the-moment test of my newly acquired, custom mirror-polished Radio Music module from Magpie Modular. I had just gotten home after an 8 hour day of work and a 3 and a half hour modular synth concert. I was tired... but inspired! Patch Notes: Radio Music into Mutable Instruments Elements, Braids into Rings then into Clouds. Make Noise Richter Wogglebug providing influence over Rings 'Dampening' and 'Position' and Clouds 'Density' and 'Size'."
