X1L3 - circuit bent - midi retrofit - Yamaha DD5 drum machine + Sequential circuits pro1

Published on Dec 23, 2013 manufacturedZ3R0 .·103 videos

"Minimal set on a modified DD5. A quick project to test out a few pcb's. The main one being the midi circuit. Works nicely. Incoming data on channel 16 with four notes (starting at middle C) assigned to the drum pads and a fifth note assigned to the trigger/clock output.

A bit lacking in the inspiration for the pro1 tonight so this is just a two note drone to underpin the glitching percussion. I'll upload something more intricate when i get the time. A short video but a good example of how cool an old DD can be when unlocked with midi...."

The Coil - Remnants Free Sample Library

"Remnants is a free sample pack of 40 hi-tech sci-fi sounds processed through DSP algorithms and rendered in 24bit/48khz WAV format. As imprints of a machine apocalypse, residue ofcyber machines in disrepair, these sounds range from glitchy machine bits to ghostly vocal traces and evolving rhythmic artifacts intended for complex sound and music projects requiring a dark futuristic aesthetic."

The sample set features sounds from Kyma, Analog Solutions Leipzig and various studio recordings tweaked through DSP. You can find it here: http://thecoil.net/products/remnants.

"Breaking up is hard to do" - on Elka organs

Published on Dec 23, 2013 organfairy·402 videos

"This time I'm getting slightly archeologic: Not only is the melody I am playing quite old. Also the Elka organ and drum machine is almost as old as I am. The drum machine is salvaged from an old organ and made into a stand-alone unit.

'Breaking up is hard to do' was a big hit for Neil Sedaka but it has been recorded by many artists over the years including Carpenters and Svenne & Lotta (the one I remember most)."

Cirklon: some inter-track events and a spot of knob masking (fnar fnar)

Published on Dec 23, 2013 WilyEPeyote·22 videos

"This person is drunk. Mask or unmask, always a tough one. Best to turn knobs and see what happens. Decided accumulators were a bit obvious (and the tutorial went into a tailspin) so went for showing inter-track events instead. Stupidly, I failed to plan in advance, which would have involved making the two sequences noticeably different. Ah well.

Oh and I totally failed to explain the other inter-track events, of which there are many. However, once you start with notes the rest, well, keep turning and you'll find them. Same principles, self-explanatory. Remember stuff is processed in order. Therefore, if I suspect I might later wish to conditionally mask an event, I place that event on the second aux at the start,"

climb mt nitaka [live modular set]

"Live set recorded on December 7th 2013. No editing or overdubbing, all sounds live from the lunchbox modular consisting of DPO, Optomix, 2 Functions and several helper tiles. Sequencing provided by Little Midi Machine from iPad, effects from Boss DD5 and Akai Headrush. Live looped vocals and field recordings involved as well.

This was a practice for a show later that night at the Warp Zone here in Peoria, IL . Feel free to download the set and enjoy on your commute, while surfing the web etc. best with headphones or speakers, as dictated by the nature of sine wave bass."

New PRATT 952 Complex Modular Synth Oscillator Clone

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

via this auction

"Brand new FracRack module. The guts are clone of the topology of the famous Buchla 259, built by Pratt Electro, which is NOT BUCHLA. The circuit is reworked in modern surface mount components without the remote control interface. It's tuned for 1V/Oct, with modern Transistor pairs for good tracking. It fits in your Frac-Rack, runs off +/-15V, and talks to all your other modules with 1/8" jacks. This module has two triangle-core oscillators, a visual tuner, a modulation amplifier, and a beautiful-sounding complex waveshaper. I added a reference osc for the tuner and an LED to indicate the signal coming out of the modulation osc. Everything else is just like the original vintage piece.

Philosophy:

There is no such thing as 'boutique electronics.' Apple is charging $500 for a 4g chip (difference in price and tech between Ipod and Iphone) and 100 dollars for 32 GB of NAND. Music equipment is basically the same. The markups on most of stuff you come in contact with are absurd. You bought it from a distributor? It had marketing behind it? It was "reviewed" in a famous magazine? You would be paying markups on those investments too.

But, I'm living in the mountains of Central Taiwan, where I have socialized medicine and low cost of living. Boards are made, assembled, and tuned by electrical engineers in Eastern Europe, panels are made in Germany (Schaeffer Engraved Aluminum). You're getting a good product at a decent price. Period."

The TB-303 from Christophocles's Perspective (part 1)

Published on Dec 23, 2013 christophocles acid·2 videos

Follow-up to TB-303 Acid Odyssey

"Footnotes below.

Intro - Thanks to Futurama, Dexter's Laboratory, The Simpsons, Seinfeld, Country Music Television, Techno Viking, Ed, Edd, n' Eddy, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Maximum respect.

1:01 - The background music you hear is Choose Your File from Earthbound, the cult SNES classic.

1:53 - That would be the tower formerly known as Sears, now sitting pretty as the Willis in the heart of Chicago.

2:06 - I am much obliged to the wonderful woman who joined the shoot as an impromptu dancer.

3:03 - The story is that our beloved driver once rolled down his window to chastise a J-walker. Little did our hero know, that walker was his boss!

4:04 - http://lavacable.com .

4:36 - The one and only Ceephax Acid Crew, ladies and gentlemen. His latest piece is truly worthy of the title "Acid Odyssey". Proper acid. He's the original belter, you know? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xq3sr... . And if you've got a spare £3.03 lying about, do buy his latest release, World Dissolver. While you're at it, buy Cro Magnox and United Acid Emirates.

4:47 - Another round of applause for Dexter's Laboratory and their brilliant Heart of Darkness rendition.

5:15 - synthjammer's Everybody Needs a 303: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV68yA... .

10:51 - This little outro tune samples the latest work of the expert animator Egoraptor, the irreverent and lovable Danny Sexbang, and the Terror and Delight of the Universe, Ninja Brian. Together, they join forces to create Starbomb. The sample was pulled from the very end of Luigi's Ballad, which you can and should watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jfU7p... .

11:29 - Big thanks to LETSPLAYMARKUS for the Super Mario World footage, and of course to the gem of comedy Hot Rod.

Again, thank you so much for watching, and I hope that you enjoyed. And if you like it, tell us about it, won't you?

Part two will involve 808 bass, snow shovels, and nighttime city shots. I'll post it for an acid New Year's eve."

"Modular synthesizer recording.

I'm using LMSO with the Mutable Instruments CVPal midi interface. Little Miss Scale Oven (LMSO) is a tuning program which runs between the midi keyboard and midi interface for the modular. The tuning scale was created by X.J.Scott in 1999 and is 162.98 cET - 7/3 - div 9.

Mr. Scott's description goes as follows...

(The scale is) nice because it hits so many 13-limit intervals but misses the octave as far as possible. Also, the complex intervals are less 'out-of-ratio' than the simple ones (which can tolerate a wider detuning while maintaining their class distinction).

The ribbon controller is to the modular as well. All sounds are from the modular synthesizer and only a TC Electronic D-Two and Lexicon MX200 are outside effects. The radio sounds are run through a ring modulator with an oscillator as carrier and tuning voltage from the Make Noise Pressure Points."
