Electron Octatrack MKII Now Shipping


Published on Oct 6, 2017 Elektron

The above features videos from Elektron and users.

Playlist:

1.Octatrack MKII — At a glance [from Elektron]
Octatrack MKII is an eight track performance sampler and sequencer, designed for both live performers and studio producers. Thanks to a clever combination of internal tracks, MIDI tracks, in- and outputs, and sequencer tricks like conditional trigs, Octatrack MKII is perfect as the centerpiece in any rig. The sample engine, which features time-stretch and pitch-shift in real time, is capable of radically transforming and reshaping samples in an instant.

2. Elektron Octatrack MkII - Odd Time Signatures [from Carl Mikael's Cabinet of Curiosities]
The Elektron Octatrack MkII with its sequencer features, solves creative challenges when working with odd time signatures.

Different track lengths and tempos together with conditional trigs makes eccentric rhythms possible. Break out of the four-to-the-floor paradigm.

3. Octatrack MKII Cuckoo Heavily Edited Performance Jam Song Thing [from cuckoomusic]
The Octatrack MKII/ MK2 has landed. And it's really really nice. There are new buttons all over, and new dedicated buttons. The OLED screen helps view the screen from any angle.

4. Octatrack MKII meets Yamaha TX802
The OT MKII sequences all 8 parts of the Yamaha TX802 and the I and II outputs of the TX802 is fed back in to the OT MKII where additional processing happens. All sounds are coming from the TX802. Also, the whole main output of the OT MKII gets resampled and the fader controls the balance between the dry and recorded signals. The 8 MIDI channels of the OT MKII that sequence the TX802 uses a lot of different tricks to get variation in the playback, as the same pattern is repeated over and over, combined with manual Quick Mute. Probability on steps, Random LFO modulation to Arpeggio speed, different pattern lengths and multiplier speeds are amongst the functions being used to create varying playback.

Superbooth16: Lost on Earth: Gebrueder Teichmann


Lost on Earth: Gebrueder Teichmann from HerrSchneider on Vimeo.

We finally get to see HerrSchneider dance. :)

"Brothers Teichmann made a product presentation on Superbooth16 for a real ousider product called midilooper getting it on the radar for distributors and midi-users this way. They offered two children workshops for live electronics on Superbooth17, they have been part of a panel talking not just about the gender situation in the synthmakers scene with Alec Empire, Holly Herndon and Alissa deRubeis and finally they played a concert on the Seaside stage, the only one that was recorded in 2017, see this at the end of this video after let us talk a bit about all this inside SchneidersBuero."

Take the Front Seat


Published on Oct 6, 2017 synthjunk

"This track is the first release from my new album which will be available soon. Produced using modular & semi-modular synths, Vermona DRM1 drums and various step sequencers. MPC2500 providing additional sequencing & master clock. Recorded & mixed with Ableton. Hope you enjoy it."

"The K2000 uses V.A.S.T. (Variable Architecture Synthesis Technology) which allows you to take any multi-sample, noise or waveform and process it using just about any synthesis technique. The source of these multi-samples are from the 8MB of ROM which hold tons of authentic and superb quality samples. The internal processing is 32-bit with 18-bit DACs. The K2000 uses 31 sound-shaping algorithms to provide a variety of resonant filters, EQs, continuous panning, amplitude modulation, crossfade, distortion, digital wrap, waveshaper, pulse width modulation, high frequency enhancement, low frequency oscillators, hard sync oscillators and mixing oscillators, all with real-time MIDI control.

It's a beautiful synth with an elegant and organized layout and very high quality pitch and mod wheels! Not to mention a 61-note velocity & aftertouch sensitive keyboard with a quality feel and response to playing. The K2000s adds a quality sampler with standard 2MB RAM that can be expanded to 64MB. Sample in stereo or mono, via analog or digital inputs and you have all the sample edit functions you'll need to create some of your own sounds. Use the built-in 3.5" disk drive or connect an external drive to the SCSI port for limitless sample storage (an internal SCSI connection also allows for a hard disk drive inside).

Other professional features include stereo multi-effects capable of four simultaneous effects including reverb, chorus, delay, multi-tap delay, flange, rotary simulation and more. Up to six polyphonic audio outputs. There's also the 32-Track sequencer, fully editable, with features like 768 ppq resolution and nondestructive track editing and groove quantizing.

The K2000rs is the rack-mount version of the K2000s. Offering all of the same great sounds, power and features as the keyboard version."

Frilled With Hope (0-Coast, Braids, ER-1, Octatrack, SQ-1, Fold Processor, S-143, o_C)


Published on Oct 6, 2017 Cody Gratner

"The Octatrack is just being used as a mixer/effect unit and sending midi to the ER-1. The ER-1 is sending short trigs (closed high hat) on the right channel to the SQ-1 to the sync in. The SQ-1 is gating the 0-Coast and trigging the S-143 4-step sequencer. The SQ-1 is pitching the 0-Coast and the S-143 is pitching the Braids. I am ripping off mylarmelodies' recent "modular diary" videos on some of these setup ideas."

Viva La Convolution! Exploring the Logidy EPSi Reverb with Synths


Published on Oct 5, 2017 Olivier Ozoux

"I have no idea why everyone doesn't have this little reverb unit in their arsenal. Software convolution reverb are great! but having one in hardware form is even better.

And I'm surprised how easy it is to capture IRs (Impulse Reverbs) to add to this unit, or how non-traditional sounds can become awesome reverb tails.
