iOptigan - MIDI Chord Detection Modes Tutorial


Published on Nov 7, 2017 optigandotcom

iTunes: iOptigan - Stefan Stenzel

"Another iOptigan tip, until we finish the user manual: there are three triggering modes for the chord buttons, selectable in the settings.

"MIDI G#0-E2 for Chords" lays out all the chord buttons in a chromatic mapping. Priority was placed on fitting everything with the keyboard scale on a standard 61-note keyboard, so the layout isn't very intuitive, but it gets the job done. Chords are at the lower end of the keyboard, SFX tabs at the upper end.

"MIDI Chord Detection I" is a more intuitive mode, which allows the user to simply finger the desired chord in the low octave of the keyboard. Playing a C maj triad produces the C maj chord. Playing a C min triad produces the C min chord. etc.

"MIDI Chord Detection II" allows for more extended chords to be played using the time-honored Optigan technique of playing two chord buttons at once to approximate more complicated chords. There's alot of trial-and-error involved with this, and results vary depending on the disc, but if you finger, say, a Cmaj7 chord on the keyboard (again, in the low octave), iOptigan will play the C maj and E min chords simultaneously. Try fingering other extended chords to see what you get, and you'll likely stumble upon some unexpectedly pleasing combinations!"

Cwejman Journey


Published on Nov 7, 2017 Dudadius

"All sounds from Cwejmam. Orthogonal Devices sequencing.

Patch Notes.

This patch was inspired by Maho Cwejman asking if anyone had some ADSR-VC2 or CTG-VC videos. I didn’t want to do a demo, but I had the idea that I would do a Cwejman-centric patch and use those modules as the back-bone.

All of the sound sources are from the Cwejman family. Just supplementing with the sequencers and some modulation sources.

Drone is Monome Ansible controlling the PH8 as an oscillator in the QMMF4. 2 of the Ansible channels are modulating the QMMF’s frequencies to create a shifting chord sequence. The whole shebang goes through one side of MMF2, the and FSH-1 for effects. Malekko Varigate-8 is running the rhythmic modulation on that.

Rhythm. Kick is the CTG hitting the MMF6. Release time is modulated by the CV out of the Eloquencer, which is programming all the of the rhythm tracks.

‘Snare’ is the BLD. Hat is the RG6 going into the VCA-2P, which has it’s panning being modulated by a Batumi.

All of the percussion goes into a MX4S. One side goes to the main mixer, WMD Performance mixer, and one side goes into the side-chain input of the DP2.

Melodics.

Still wrapping my head around the Orthogonal Devices ER-101/102, but they are driving three voices.

Bass is a VCO6 into the MMF1s.

Middle and upper voices are the two sides of a VCO-2RM into a DMF2. They both go to the VCA_4MX into the input of the DP2. The percussion is side-chaining all of the melodics there.


Then they all go through the SPH2 for a little stereo fun.

I’m using Intellijel Rainmaker and Audio Damage EOS reverb for effects.

There is a slight amount of Electron Analog Heat on the whole thing. Mastered with Izotope Ozone 8, Vertigo VSM2 and Fab Filter Limiter.

Whew…."

DIY analog synth project (Steiner Parker "Type" VCF The Final Tweak)


Published on Nov 7, 2017 Adamski Ajull

"Hey guys back again with yet another modified Stiener Parker type 12db per oct VCF, this based on a mashup of Ken stone and Yves Ussons schematics.
I have increased the diode ladder from 10-12, and also the size of the capacitors in the ladder and also my own tailored trimming for keyboard tracking.
There is also a trimmerble diode pair in the resonance network , which can at some points sound like a nice distortion pedal and tames the wild resonance. i have also changed values in the Freq Cut and Res potentiometers resistance to ground to compensate for the bigger change in top end content.
PLEASE USE HEADPHONES OR SPEAKERS TO CATCH THE LOW END PROPERLY ;-).
Again many thanks to Yves Usson and Ken Stone for their inspirational circuits."

4ms IN/OUT: Tapographic Delay (TAPO) - Marc Kate


Published on Nov 7, 2017 4mspedals

"Using the QCD as the master clock, two channels of the STS are going into the Tapographic Delay. The force resistance sensor (and preset patches) are generating the polyrhythms, textures, and pitched percussions. With the SMR’s 1V/Octave outputs, pitch is sent to ALM’s Akemie’s Castle. The PEG triggers envelopes with the VCA Matrix for each note, and those notes then hit the DLD to create elongated melodies. The SMR’s six channels are then pinged, or plucked by the RCD gates. The SMR’s notes pass into the Tapographic Delay, accumulating varying tapped patterns."

Inspired: The Journey of Discovering My Famous Father | Michelle Moog-Koussa | TEDxAsheville


Published on Oct 18, 2017 TEDx Talks

"Although I knew my father for the 37 years that we were here on Earth together, I never really knew his public persona, Bob Moog, until he passed away. The path of discovery that followed has provided a deep well of inspiration, which has lead me on a journey to carry on his powerful legacy transforming people's lives through sonic exploration. Inspiration is a powerful cultural resource, and we must use it to do the most good for our challenged society. Michelle Moog-Koussa is the daughter of synthesizer pioneer Bob Moog. She has been the executive director of the Bob Moog Foundation for eleven years, and has spearheaded educational and historic preservation projects which inspire children and adults thought the science, music, technology and the spirit of invention. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx"

"Short video while testing the GUI code for the Percussa SSP on the computer (no sound). The basic idea is that you can insert synth modules anywhere you want in the network grid, by moving a selection rectangle using the navigation soft keys and the 'insert' key. When the modules are placed next to each other, the modules are patched together automatically."

via the Kickstarter campaign:

"Hi everyone,

It’s Celine here :-) The past week I’ve continued my work on the software GUI for the SSP, and started working on the implementation of the network editor.

The basic idea is that you can insert synth modules anywhere you want in the network grid, by moving a selection rectangle using the navigation soft keys and the “insert” key. When the modules are placed next to each other, the modules are patched together automatically.

[Above] you can see a short video (no sound) where I’m showing you how to insert, change, and delete synth modules. I’m testing the code on my computer using the Percussa Remote control surface, which is connected through USB to my computer.

Meanwhile Bert is hard at work on the PCB layout, he'll write an update later this week to give you the latest news :-)

Until next update!

Bert & Celine"

"ROLAND ALPHA JUNO-1 GAME OF THRONES THEME
**100% No Talking!** **Turn it UP!** **Watch in HD**

I am soooo addicted to HBO's "Game of Thrones"
I wanted to hear how the ROLAND ALPHA JUNO would sound
playing "A song of Ice & Fire" composed by Ramin Djawadi
I managed to learn how to play the full composition
but decided to hit the internet for the MIDI FILE.
I found this page & great work:
http://www.garyw0001.com/GMIDI/Game_O...
AUTHOR: Gary Wachtel (GaryW0001@GaryW0001.com)
I downloaded the MIDI FILE & put it into
the KORG M3 and "Event Edited" away, set up my
MIDI connections to the ROLAND ALPHA JUNO-1.
Hours later I had recorded many different parts
with different CLASSIC ALPHA JUNO patches....
I put it all together into ABLETON LIVE & added
some basic REVERB... This is not the FULL VERSION
of the opening theme, but it was enough for me to
accomplish what I was after! I hope you dig this!!!!

Thank you for watching!"

Xaoc Devices Tallin


Published on Nov 7, 2017 Xaoc Devices

"Tallin is a dual voltage controlled amplifier (VCA) with overdrive, offering some unusual control features and a range of attractive tonal characteristics. Each of the two identical channels offers two simultaneously available inputs for voltage control over signal attenuation or gain, with linear and exponential response to CV. Volume control knobs offer manual gain settings ranging from fully
closed (-80dB) up to +18dB. A color LED indicator displays output signal levels. A soft-clip circuit avoids harsh clipping distortion, while a switchable overdrive circuit offers two carefully crafted distortion responses, simulating the sound of classic tube amplifiers.

Since both CV inputs are simultaneously active, they can be jointly exploited within patches featuring more complex volume control that otherwise would require using two traditional VCAs in series. As the signal path is DC-coupled, Tallin can also be used for handling the control voltages."

"In this eurorack modular workshop video I explain the usage of the EFFEXX string filter algorithm. If you already have an EFFEXX module you probably have the three additional modules I used for this workshop. For my sound examples I added one Noise generator, one ADSR envelope generator and one VCA. The workshop explains the cabling and gives a lot of tipps how to tweak the parameters for different sonic results.

If you just would like listening to the string filter sounds you can skip the first 4 minutes."
