Video: Beloved Drum Machines Hit the Road (extract)

YouTube via FLstudioMexico
"Would You Like to Tap My Box? from kamoni on Vimeo.

Drum machine lovers, you now have the beat gear equivalent of Matt Harding and Where the Hell is Matt?. Kamoni, aka sonic creator, composer, and experimenter Micah Frank, takes his favorite devices out on the road, piecing them together into an epic YouTubular jam.

Doepfer and Korg, Elektron and Akai, plus a lot of other devices make their way around New York and Brooklyn and other parts of the world. Ableton I think figured into editing the video clips in time — thank you, Live, for video. I could point out individual devices, but then Id ruin your fun, wouldnt I?

Of course, this could be both emulated and expanded. We could perform a single rhythm, played by MPC and Machinedrum owners around the planet. (You could even get that laptop running on battery.)

I can see it now. Internets, go!

And yes, this does demonstrate where puremagnetik gets all those beats for their line of sampled things. Micah gets his hands on a lot of gear."

i9 10.24.2009 --240 from 20-- part 2

YouTube via infinite9ths
"Sweep turned me on to a program named Paulstretch which stretches audio files. I found a vocal bridge I'd always liked from a song I wrote 10 years ago - though only 20 sec. in length, it became a 4+ minute piece after the stretch. What a great program. And free, too.

After one overdub with some incidentals using the Arturia Moog Modular V and 4 notes at the end from the Minimoog Voyager, I thought it had enough. Part 1 is the same piece without the overdubbed tracks. I'm not yet sure if I'll release it.

Thanks, sweep!

The Maplin 5600S analog vintage synthesizer flagship (Video 1)

YouTube via scienceforce

"This is a vintage Maplin 5600s stereosynthesizer. This sequence is based on his two transient trapezoid envelopes. It's a very nice matrix synthesizer with many parameters ...much more than an EMS VCS3. His Matrix has 30 x 30 contact points (900 in total) for complex I/O and control voltages.
It has a built in spring reverb and an amazing cv controlled phaser.
The "kick" come out from a RSF Kobol driven by the Maplin 5600 trigger."

Structures Sonores Rediffusion

YouTube via JeffreyPlaide
"Structures Senores Rediffusion is an ambient, original music collage experimentation created almost entirely on the Korg R3 synthesizer. The piece explores ring-modulated sequences, non-synchronised rhythms, chords and surreal/ethereal pads placed within a structured framework. Within the multitrack session, a rhythm track created on the Hammerhead Rhythm Station was processed with a heavy reverb. To this an atonal melodic sequence loop was placed. This is a dual-timbre sound whereby each oscillator is ring-modulated by its neighbour. Each timbre is further ring-modulated creating double ring-modulation and sequenced, pitch-transposed and played as a short arpeggiated block whose swing time is skewed to a significant degree. Short "Balinese" ring-modulated variations on the first sequence were added at regular intervals. An additional short ring-modulated sequence was spliced onto an asynchronous synthesized percussive sound and this arrangement was repeated at every third "Balinese" ring-modulated sequence. Next came an organ timbre whose waveforms were not tuned to strict octave intervals. Another ethereal organ-like sequence loops twice. This timbre is a strange and beautiful chord-like shimmering tone created by the Korg R3 DWGS waveforms tuned to non-octave intervals. Finally, a chordal string pad was placed underneath all the other tracks and stereo-panned the full 180 degrees approximately every minute. The piece concludes leaving only a dark pad bass and the original double ring-modulated sequence fading to a dark decay. The music was inspired from listening to atonal Buchla synthesizer sequences and attempting to recreate these using the Korg R3 double ring-modulated possibilities. The background visuals were produced by animated graphic modulations created by Adobe Premier WaveWarp function. Several orders of linear modulation were applied to the first layer backgrounds. Second layer moire imagery was then superimposed over these visuals. A third video layer has been keyed over all of these including symbolic graphics, and a reworking of the Associated Rediffusion television logo for this synthesizer exploration."

Roland Juno 60

"I recently bought a mint Juno 60 off Ebay - its boxed and came with the JSQ60. The JSQ has never been used.....boxed for the last 25 years. Needless to say, this little bundle of joy set me back £££.....take a listen to the sounds.....its beautiful. The pad sound at the end....is AMAZING.

Played LIVE and recorded straight into Cubase 5 - ALL sounds/effects programmed by myself - reverb/delay + L3 courtesy of Waves"

"Upper keyboard: Emu EMAX II HD
Lower: Emu Emax.

Only the crowd background was sampled from the original 101 album(a two seconds only loop).

(I sampled into the EMAXII a Roland JX-8P and a Kurzweil Pc1x for the main lead, a JP8000 for the "submarine" resonant noise, JX-8P for the mid sequence, left hand choir is a library sample)

Bactrack recorded in Pro Tools and Reason rewired. Yamaha DX7, Roland D10 and Emax I also used for the backtrack."

LZX Monolith analog modular synth

via this auction

"This is the last Monolith I will have for sale. Only five were produced. This is the only one with 1/8" jacks.

The LZX Monolith is based on a modified version of the Music From Outer Space Soundlab synthesizer. LZX Industries improved upon the original design by adding features, fine-tuning parts values for maximum performance, and offering the result in an elegant package. This Monolith is fully modular, with nothing hardwired or pre-patched. It features two independent oscillators (with hard sync), an audio mixer, a filter that offers low pass and band pass, a VCA, a voltage mixer with an inverter, an envelope generator that is capable of cycling like an LFO, a very flexible low frequency oscillator, and three sets of multiples. The sound (to my ear) sits somewhere between a Korg MS-20 and a Sequential Circuits Pro One.

The Monolith accepts V/Oct CV and standard trig/gate signals (like most modern modulars, or Roland, Arp, etc.). It draws its power through 12v AC adapter, so it can be used in any country. An AC adapter for US voltage is included, along with three 1/8" patch cables."

You can see two videos of the LZX at the auction or in this prior post.

Roland CMU-810 Compusynth Modded Analog Modular Synth

via this auction

"Up for auction is an extremely rare Roland CMU-810 synth module which has been turned into a modular synth by Dean Batute of Kyron Modular in Toronto, Ontario. I've owned two of these over the years and have A/B'd them with an SH-101 and MC-202 triggered from various sources. The CMU-810 sounds much bigger than either the SH-101 or MC-202. It sounds more like the late 70's era Rolands like the SH-2 or SH-09. Some sites on the Internet indicate that it's basically an MC-202 in a metal box but this is simply not the case. The CMU-810 has a sound all its own, and this one is even more powerful since it's been modularized.

Features:
* CV/GATE input jacks
* Headphone jack
* Built in mixer with Mix output (you can patch a TB-303 or TR-606 through it and listen to them both through headphones)
* External VCF input
* CV input to control VCA
* Envelope output
* VCF CV input
* Noise output
* LFO Outputs (square/triangle/sine(delay))
* VCO Output (sub/triangle/pulse/saw)
* Pulse Width Modulation input
* Sync input
* Linear FM input"

Initial Test Of Moon Modular M569 Sequencer

YouTube via JohnLRice
"Sorry for not uploading any vids lately! Too busy with . . . stuff. I finally got to the point where I needed to build proper power supplies for my upper racks because I got some new modules! :-) All my synths have been undergoing rearrangement/rework lately and I haven't been able to use them. I'm trying to get a lot done before the PNW Synth Gathering on the 31st but I just couldn't resist playing around a bit with my new Moon M569 sequencer! It has so much great potential for doing interesting sequencing it's really exciting! There will be more demos and music videos in the following months for sure!

Thanks for watching, rating and commenting!"

Lavalamp as MIDI controller...

YouTube via hotchk155

"6 voltage-dividing pairs of light dependent resistors arranged round a standard lavalamp and read by analog inputs of Muduino (arduino clone) to generate semi-random streams of MIDI continuous controller messages

MIDI controllers then mapped to various controls in Propellerheads Reason.. just to see what happens really... Result is rather addictive and hypnotic... turn up the speakers, watch the lamp, turn into a zombie"

Update:

Lavalamp random grooves


"Using same lava lamp to midi CC setup as before, but now mapping to drum pattern changes in Reason.
The sounds are from 2 redrums. a subtractor and maelstrom... putting them in a combinator makes it easy to route the controller signals coming in from the lavalamp. Some interesting mid-pattern switching going on"

"I put some more info about this project at google sites"
