Reaktor Tutorial: x0x Kicks

Reaktor Tutorial: x0x Kicks from FlipMu on Vimeo.

"This tutorial looks at building Kick drums based off the classic TR-808 and TR-909. The tutorial goes over how to calculate Freq and Q (Quality Factor) from reading schematics. The video also shows how to modify the Core static BP filter to use Q values instead of Resonance. To see how to do the same thing for BandWidth (BW), see our previous video on Vocoders vimeo.com/59133221

The video also points out the excellent tutorials for building a TR-909 Kick at http://www.nireaktor.com/reaktor-tutorials/how-to-make-a-909-kick-in-reaktor/"

Yusynth LFO Sync

Published on Feb 18, 2013 GoldenCardiganCult·8 videos

"The Golden Rule of LFO sync. The LFO Rate has to be quicker than the trigger or gate that you are syncing to.

The LFO is synced to the gate of the lead arpeggio (the green LED toward the bottom left). The LFO 's rate is also controlled by the Joysticks X-axis via it's FM input. You will notice that when the rate of the arpeggio is doubled, the LFO can no longer sync to it because it's rate is slow than the incoming gates. When I increase the LFO rate with the Joystick you will see the LFO grab sync again."

"A few patch details:

- Channel "C" of 292 is in a feedback loop... creating an LFO that I'm using as a clock source.

- Clock source from 292 is sent and split into 2x channels of the 230.

- Clock pulse from 230 Ch A is sent to QRV of the 266.

- 2x separate outs of 266 QRV are sent to their own CV input of the 258

- 258 sent out through 2x channels of the 292.

- 230 Pulse Outs from Chan A & B are sent to Ch A & B of the 292

- 292 channels 1 & 2 (the 258 VCO outs) are sent to the 207 - one channel input #1 and the other to input channel #6 (these 2x 207 channels allow fro voltage controlled panning).

- same pulse from 230 Ch A is sent to 266 SRV.

- SRV is sent through the 266 Integrator (for glide/slew) then off to the 207 CV panning of CH 1 & 6.

- 258 VCO#1 is sent into FM of VCO#2... adjusted to taste.

- Noise +3 out for 266 is sent to FM in of 258 VCO#1... adjusted to taste.

- manual switch flipping and adjustments of the 230/207 real time to crazy rhythms

PixiVisor for iOS Now Available

Videos posted here.

"Prepare to see what you've never seen before!

PixiVisor is a revolutionary tool for audio-visual experiments. Simple and fun, cross-platform application with unlimited potential for creativity!
It consists of two parts: Transmitter and Receiver.

* Transmitter converts the video (static 64x64 image or 10FPS animation) to sound, pixel by pixel (progressive scan). This lets you listen to the sound of your image. But the main function of the Transmitter is to transmit the signal to the receiving devices.
* Receiver converts the sound (from microphone or Line-in input) back to video. You can set the color palette for this video, and record it to animated GIF file.

Key features:
* file formats supported by Transmitter: JPEG, PNG, GIF (static and animated);
* real-time video export to animated GIF;
* 64 predefined color palettes;
* iTunes File Sharing;
* Wi-Fi Export/Import (in the File menu of the Transmitter);
* it also available for Android, Windows, Linux and OSX;
* more functions in the next PixiVisor updates...

Examples of use:
* wireless Lo-Fi video transmission over audio;
* video signal transmission through audio cable; you can then modify that signal by some mixers or audio FX processors;
* VJing;
* sound visualization;
* save any sound to animated GIF;
* hide some images and animation in your music;
* searching for hidden messages in the ambient noise; EVP;
* something else; reveal it first!

Nord Modular G2 Engine

"The rare and sought after Nord Modular G2, in a convenient 1U rack space. This unit is working with a brand new USB port installed (common failure point on these devices). It has some cosmetic flaws, see scratches on panels, but not too bad for a 10 year old synth. It DOES include the original printed manual (which is also cosmetically flawed), however it does not have the original software disc...but that is a free download and you'll want the latest version anyway from Clavia's website.

With this auction you will receive the Nord Modular G2 Engine, rack ears, 1 power cord, 1 USB cord, and the original printed manual (minus the software disc). It does not include original packaging or any accessories not listed."

TAL-U-NO-LX - Roland Juno-60 Emulator

"TAL-U-NO-LX is a complete rewritten emulation of the popular hardware with a new engine and GUI. Up to date zero feedback delay filters and carefully calibrated controls make this synth a good replacement for the analog device with all the advantages software plugins have. As an addition, the TAL_U-NO-LX also supports portamento and different filter LFO waveforms and some more useful features. An arpeggiator with different sync modes and hold function is also included. A very fast envelope with a smooth roll-off, emulated inaccuracy and a very smooth filter sound gives this synth the typical sound. The synth was calibrated after a hardware device that's property of TAL."


"Compares the HW Juno 60 with the Software "emulation" with some default Factory A presets. The Juno 60 always plays first. This gives an idea how the emulation sounds. It should be possible to get better results with some more preset fine tuning."


"Hereby we proudly present our demo track for the upcoming, and marvelous U-NO-LX VSTi from TAL. Since we're betatesting this plugin we thought it would be nice to make a nice demo for TAL to show what this, really good emulation of the Roland Juno-60, is capable of.

For this track we used only 20 instances of the beta version of this plugin and the Precision Limiter from UAD on the mainbus to make the track a little bit louder. So no EQ, Compressors, Reverb and Delay or other plugins. In other words this is what the plugin is capable of and your listening to the RAW sound of this beauty!"

Exploring the Crumar Nerve Centre 15

Published on Feb 18, 2013 organfairy·363 videos

"Crumar Nerve Centre 15 is an analogue drum machine that was build into a number of Crumar's organs from the mid 1970's. I took this particular specimen out of an old defective organ some years ago (and made a video of it) and now the time has come to find out how it works so that I can use it for something.

One very special thing with this drum machine is that there is a separate row of selector switches for the auto-accompaniment so that you can pick and chose independantly - in other words it is possible to combine for instance the samba rhythm with waltz bass and arpeggio (not that it would sound very good but it is possible). I wonder why so few organ companies came up with that idea. It makes the auto-band much more flexible and it only costs an extra row of switches.

The music in something I made on Yamaha HE-8 and Technics SX-C600 organs, Roland SH-2000 synthesizer and TR-66 Rhythm Arranger drum machine, and the little Casio CZ-101 phase distortion synthesizer."

Control Amp and Modulation envelopes from the 8 hardware faders and start, stop and latch controls for the arpeggiator. Change the sound easily with the interactive display. CoreMIDI Network input. On the whole the sounds are great though the graphical interface isn't as great as it could be. Groups of assigned parameters could be made easier to manipulate and the ability to create user groups or delete groups. Nice start to a potential great app. Get it free from the itunes store. Not compatible with Iphone or Ipod Touch."
