Fairlight CMI III MFX


Published on Apr 8, 2017 100 Things I Do

"Finally I have the massive Fairlight Keyboard to go along with the rest of my Fairlight system!

My CMI III was originally a factory development system, because of this there was no need for a musical keyboard at the time. This has ended up posing an interesting problem.

Just as Peter Wielk was finishing up my Keyboard and was about to send I noticed the keyboard power and serial connector has never been cabled or wired.

It has a mix of +/- 20v and +/-10v and from what Peter told me... get it wrong and it will blow a lot of fuses and potentially the analog power supply!

Lucky for me Peter had a spare power back panel he was able to send me in return for mine! Thanks Peter!

The arrival of the keyboard has created the need to reorganise the studio and change a few things around. I thought it would be easy, but as I write this I am still cleaning up and finding places for things! (Its taken over 2 days so far).

So this brings me to this video. I wanted to release something this week up keep up the 'video every weekend' pace. Its just some multitrack noodling once the Fairlight was set up. As next week is the 1 year anniversary of weekly content (and me actually paying attention to the channel) I promise to do something a little more special.

Hope you enjoy."

Dragon Drum Machine


Published on Apr 6, 2017 thIIIrd musique

This one is from the maker of Wiisp.

"Jam compilation with the Android app Dragon. Download free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...

Dragon is a drum machine built to quickly and easily make glitch, distorted, lofi drum beats and manipulate them live. The drums are simple and flexible, capable of some classic drum machine sounds and also new weirdness. Each is synthesized in real time and sent to a multi effect rig with variable speed stutter, bit reduction, pitched feedback delay and a resonant bandpass filter. The drums are triggered by a four pattern step sequencer. Patterns can be changed individually for each drum or triggered together for quick pattern switches for all drums.

Features:
Four pattern sequencer with local and global pattern control
BPM control with nudging
Save/load presets
Three drum synths:
-Bass
-Snare
-Hi-hat
Effects rig:
-Asymmetry and tanh(x) for tape like distortion
-Pitched feedback delay
-Retrigger (aka stutter/buffer) with variable speed and reversing
-Bit reduction
-Down-sample
-Reverb
-Resonant bandpass filter

Preset management requires permission for file storage read/write (optional on Android M+)

Unpaid version disables preset saving and audio recording

Audio recording coming soon. Possible future ports to desktop and ios. Made with Pure Data and libGDX"

Update: now on eBay as well.

"One of the rarest and most impressive keyboards ever built, a must have vintage synthesizer for the serious collector. It's in nice shape and working great. Only issue to mention is the pneumatic springs that hold the front up don't work, but you can use it fine the way it is, and should be easy enough to repair if desired. All knobs, sliders, buttons, disk drive and outputs are working as they should. There is some wear as to be expected for an old synth, so be sure to check out the pictures to make sure you like it."

Multitimbral synths - layering complex voices with Waldorf MicroQ


Published on Apr 8, 2017 NONsynth

"Using the Waldorf MicroQ to answer the question - what good is a multitimbral synth anyway?

This answer is: layering complex voices.

A multitimbral synth like the Waldorf MicroQ/Blofeld, Access Virus, KingKorg, etc, gives the option of stacking voices to create patches that are complex but still sound cohesive, coming from the a single synth."
