"Recorded in one take with no pre-recorded loops or sequences. Sound sources are Native Instruments "Modern Drummer", a 3-voice polyphonic Mother-32 setup using Expert Sleepers Silent Way, a Fender Rhodes through an MXR ZW-44 overdrive, a Make Noise DPO, and a Dave Smith Instruments MoPho keyboard."
"Anyware Instruments Moodulator Analog Synthesizer. It as an extremely versatile (essentially modular) 2 VCO (w/a sub each, noise, ring modulation) a 24db Moog / Ladder Filter, 3 Envelops that work as LFOs, another LFO and routing options for FM of the VCOs/filter and tons of input/output options. This is an extremely rare discontinued synth (this is the third one made) that sounds amazing. It's fully functional and in excellent conditions. The manual is available online for better details."
You have your 3 oscillators,
You have your dual filters (yep - dual LP and State variable),
You have your 2 looping envelopes,
You have your 2 LFOs (one of which is super fancy),
You have your 2 sub-oscillators, ring mod, noise, S&H, auto panner, and
You have your 8x2 (or 16x1) sequencer."

It looks like a couple of modules were moved around since this post.
"I've gone full 80s, including VHS filter, and I'm not sorry. Couldn't get the vocals right so I overdubbed them, also not sorry. I think this is the most fun I've ever had covering something. More info under here.
Original song here, SOPHIE is a genius and I basically ruined all the experimentalism and eeriness of the original. Sorry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z3N7...
The device I'm playing is a Novation Circuit. All sounds are from Yves Big City's Delorean Dream pack which is a TREASURE - https://isotonikstudios.com/product/d...
USUALLY I record sending a USB cardioid mic into Ableton, track muted; circuit into iRig Pro into Ableton, track soloed but very low volume so I can hear it enough to sing with but there's not much bleed into the mic and I can mix them separately. I don't like singing with headphones. For this, however, the Circuit performance is live but I recorded the vocals separately because I couldn't get 'em right. I'm not a purist. I know a lot of you lot are.
"I've always been a sucker for lullaby-ish ambient sweet shit, plus my wife and I are just about to have a baby so I've been messing around with some simple patches where there's some randomness but also controlled. I need more modules. thanks to my cat 'Nisse' for saying hello. peace
The superego pedal is brilliant. at the end i turn down the dry signal and try and catch the notes by watching the leds on the mother 32. love it"
"Finally I got around and installed the new voice boards to my Jupiter clone. I made a six PCB test batch almost a year ago and build the boards, but never quite got around to install those.
This patch is made using two saw waves, and a bit of detune between the oscillators. VCO LFO modulation modulates both VCO1 and VCO2 with mild LFO modulation.
Filter is around 25% open to make the low end more pad like and boost the bass. Filter ENV MOD modulates filter just a bit to make the sound more alive. Filter keyfollow is around 60% to open up the upper notes.
Melody is inspired by Gattobus - "Momenti" Jupiter-8 VS System-8 demo"
Thought this was interesting. If you are caught up with this morning's posts you might recall KORG is distributing Reon products in the UK. It appears they are also going to be the exclusive distributor for Waldorf in the US.
"Korg USA Inc. is now be the exclusive distributor for Waldorf Music. The new partnership will see Korg USA managing and implementing all marketing, sales and distribution strategies for Waldorf in the U.S.
'Waldorf is a natural fit for Korg USA, and we are honored to welcome them to our family of brands,” said James Sajeva, director of technology brands. “We pride ourselves on connecting dealers with the very best products to help them grow their business, and Waldorf is a great complement to that initiative.'
Waldorf was founded in 1988 in West Germany. For almost 30 years, it has created synthesizers and software, including the popular Blofeld series. Its most recent offerings, the KB37 and full line of modular products, expand Waldorf’s reach into the world of Eurorack.
Waldorf Music is the most recent addition to Korg USA’s growing assortment, which has also come to include Crush drums and Tanglewood guitars."
Peter Blasser of Ciat-Lonbarde will be hosting a DIY workshop with the Tocante on November 18/19th. If you are interested in attending, contact martin.baar@gaardn.se.
"This is my set from the MOTS event at Seward Park in Seattle WA USA October 7th 2017. *(also very short clips of the other performers at the end as a bonus)
Again I used my little Canon M5 mirror-less camera but this time with an 8mm fish-eye lens. Audio is a direct recording from the mixing desk. (thanks Bradley!)"
"An improvised performance, using a Novation Bass Station 2 going into an Axoloti DIY Box. The axoloti is used as a delay, reverb and 4 track looper / mixer."
Note this is a 360° not currently supported by Safari. Anyone know what's up with Safari not yet supporting 360° videos?

"The Oakley SRE330 is a multi mode stereo ensemble unit designed to mimic the behaviour of the multichannel chorus and ensemble units of late 1970s and early 1980s. The SRE330 uses up to four channels of bucket brigade delay (BBD) lines and up to four voltage controlled low frequency oscillators (LFO) to achieve a sound reminiscent of various types of string machines, guitar chorus pedals and studio rack effects of yesteryear.
Unlike the original devices the SRE330 allows greater control over the modulation depths, speeds and waveforms, as well as featuring a wet/dry control. Input and output level control pots are also provided to allow maximum flexibility in dealing with a variety of input signal levels. Both the stereo input and output connections are balanced but can be used with unbalanced connections if desired.
The unit features classic companding noise reduction circuitry which keeps unwanted noise levels to an acceptable level while also adding a 'vintage' sound of its own. A four LED level meter helps you keep signal levels at optimum ensuring a good noise to signal ratio without clipping."
"Short video playing around with the WMD Chimera I picked up at Knobcon this year.Been having a lot of fun with it so far. It's my 1st dedicated drum module. It fits right in with what I'm doing at the moment so I would say I'm very glad I got it.
PATCH NOTES:
Chimera is being triggered by one of the Sq-1s.
Peaks as well.
Two sequences from two different SQ-1s are both going to the Disting that is in Precision Adder mode. Both outputs from the Disting are routed to the 2Hp MIX then to the 2Hp TUNE. The output from the TUNE is being Mult'd to the 2Hp OSC and the int. OSC of the Mutable Instruments Warps.
The 2hp Osc is going through Ripples."
Some nice synth spotting in this one. Sequentix P3 sequencer appears to the brain.
"The Dutch house and techno explorer creates an intense track in 10 minutes.
Steffi keeps busy. Since moving to Berlin in 2007, the Dutch-born producer has – deep breath now – released three sublime solo albums on Ostgut Ton, founded not one but two successful labels, promoted hundreds of underground parties and kept the city's iconic Panorama Bar booming as one of its resident DJs.
With her most recent album World of the Waking State continuing to make waves a month after its release, we added another item to her already-frantic to-do list – our Against The Clock challenge. Crafting a beat in 10 minutes using a seriously enviable array of gear, the cult hero didn't disappoint. Watch above."
"Arc Light is the third musical experiment of many featuring a new configuration with monosynth and drum synth, swapping effects pedals using the Patchulator 8000 on a shared pedalboard."
"An original track played live on a Korg Volca Keys, Sample and FM. Patterns were recorded into the Keys and FM via MIDI from a MicroKORG S. No DAW, just hardware. Try my Volca Expert Guides for free and you can become a Volca Expert too! https://itunes.apple.com/gb/author/to..."
"SOS synth guru Gordon Reid casts his mind back to 1987 where he first saw the Roland D-50 — a now iconic digital synth that used Linear Arithmetic synthesis. We check out the Boutique recreation of that classic synth in the shape of the D-05."
"Received the ALM Busy Circuits Akemie’s Taiko yesterday. Connected it right away and this happened. Love it already.
SCHLEUßIG mutes the drums: Hexinverter Mutant Clap, TIptop HH909 and a Kick made with a PMF microVCO"
