DR-55 into the MS-20

via Connor 'Macleod' Eck on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

"Made this for my final sound design project.

I routed my DR-55 into the MS-20 Mini and sent it’s signal into the EG1 trigger input, so whenever I pressed down a key, the synth would register that and the note that I pressed, while having the DR-55 modulate the sound.

Added some nice Terminator style bass [MS-20 Mini as well] in the background that I decided to flange.

Also had an underlying thunderstorm sound effect going. The only problem is that you can’t hear the thunder, only the wind.

All in all, good stuff though. I might go back and remove the flange from the bass and see if I can boost the thunder in any way."

'Vangelis And The Journey To Ithaka' Documentary

V.A.T.J.T.I. (excerpt) from Red Baron on Vimeo.

The boxes are his Zyklus preset managers.

Update via the world of next tuesday in the comments: "Correct that those manage presets on synths and midi modules. They are custom. Pretty sure he no longer uses the Zyklus sequencer. They are definitely not for the Zyklus though perhaps someone building those had ties with it's development"

"The two-hour documentary includes interviews with Vangelis and many of his friends and colleagues, including Sean Connery, Hugh Hudson, Jessye Norman, Oliver Stone, Akiko Ebi, Julian Rachlin and many others. It also includes rare, historical footage, most of which has never been seen before. Another highlight includes recent footage of Vangelis improvising new music!.."

TimeShape - Contemporary App Music @Berlin Cathedral 6|6|2013

Published on Dec 4, 2013 DigiEnsemble Berlin·19 videos

Follow-up to Higgs - Contemporary App Music @Berlin Cathedral 6|6|2013

"'Time Shape' by Puya Shoary is a musical composition that can be stylistically categorized as Minimal Music. First it may sound simple: Every musician is following two different rhythmic motifs. However, the different rhythms combined evolve into a complex sound structure. This sound structure is modified with the use of effects by another musician, while the whole piece is floating between eleven loudspeakers spread all around the cathedral's arch.

The DigiEnsemble Berlin used an Ableton Live-Patch controlled by Konkret Performer (iOS).

-- Anniversary Concert at Berlin Cathedral on 6|6|2013
The DigiEnsemble's performance of Bach's Christmas Oratorio played on mobile devices only at the Berlin Cathedral in 2012 was a huge success. In celebration of the Berliner Dom's 20 year anniversary, the cathedral's organist Andreas Sieling and the DigiEnsemble paired up and gave their first concert together on June 6, 2013.

For the anniversary show, the musicians composed four pieces. Their intention was to experiment with the sound possibilities of the cathedral's interior architecture. They used 12 loudspeakers, placed all around the cathedral, and created new sounds as "frozen echoes" and "fluid music" (rainshower in the dom).

# 3 Quell-Klang - a piece by Daniel Grote | soundart
# 4 Higgs - a piece by Nico Steckhan | soundart

Smoke Panel L-1 Synthesizer Quad VCA Module by Paper Products Music

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

This is a eurorack module designed by L-1 Synthesizer and assembled by me. The panel is my own design, produced by Pro-Modular. If it's difficult to tell from the pictures, it's a "smoke" color and only slightly opaque. It is mostly transparent. I have many of these available.

The module itself is a very high quality VCA design based off the THAT2180 VCA. What's especially interesting about this design is it's also a voltage controlled mixer. Channels 1&2 mix, channels 3&4 mix, along with a total mix out and an inverted mix out. Of course, every channel has its own output as well.

More information on the design is here:

Smoke Panel CGS01 Sub-Oscillator / Harmonic Sequencer by CatGirl Synth

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This module is based off the CGS01 pcb by Ken Stone of CatGirl Synth. You can find it by navigating to http://www.cgs.synth.net/ under the 'modules' category, it's labelled with a CGS01.

This module serves a number of interesting purposes. Firstly, it's a complex sub-oscillator. It takes an input signal and derives pulses sub-octaves below the original. On my panel is divide by 1,2,4, & 8. It has two channels of sub-octaves, an A and a B. The knobs affect the volume level of each division.

What's more interesting, though, is to use the module as a sequencer. Its operation is very similar to the CMOS melody generators. For instance, you can take an LFO input and by adjusting the volumes of each division, get a stepped output useful for controlling a pitch CV.

Additionally, there is a section that multiplies the divisions. Thereby slightly off-setting the divisions and creating more complex tones in the case of an audio oscillator or (basically) changing the phase of the pulses to create different melodies.

There are a ton of different options for this module. You can find some demo videos on youtube by searching CGS01. I have intended to make a demo video for a while now, but am just terrible with video. If you have any questions at all, please contact me and I'll get back to you ASAP.

With all of that description behind us - the panel is my design and produced by Pro-Modular. It's a bit thicker than a standard aluminum panel. It is semi-transparent and a color called 'smoke'."

"This is essentially TWO Oberheim Xpanders in one box under the control of a velocity sensitive dynamic keyboard. This 12 voice machine affords layering and splitting for even more power and analog fat than it's powerful six-voice baby brother the Xpander. Each voice has two analog oscillators (VCO's), a powerful analog multi-mode and multi-pole 1 through 4-pole filter, fifteen VCAs, five envelope generators, five multi-wave LFOs (each of which offers 64 control waveforms) not to mention tracking generators, ramp generators, lag processors and more! It is the serious programmer's dream. The only other truly analog synthesizer as powerful as this unit would be a massive modular synthesizer costing tens of thousands and would fill up an entire room."
