Analogue Solutions - Red Square - Demo - Acid

Uploaded on Mar 20, 2010 CampagnoloFIST·2 videos

"A simple 2 track demo to highlight the raw capabilities of the astounding Red Square semi-modular monophonic analogue synthesiser by Analogue Solutions.

Track 1 - Kick drum. A patch on the Red Square sequenced by an EMU MoPhatt arpeggiator.

Track 2 - An acid style pattern programmed into the arpeggiator of an EMU MoPhatt, sequencing the Red Square through midi. Live knob twiddling by drunkenman. aka. CampagnoloFIST!

No effects, automation or external processing were used.

Tremendously out of sync Video by drunkenman. "Hardware - You Know It's There!!!""

"Brief Overview of the Red Square:

Red Square is a patchable analogue monosynth that can also be used as an effects processor. It has some of the advantages of a modular synth (re-wireable synth circuits, external control, external signal routing) and the advantage of a pre-patched monosynth (easy to use, instant sound, tidy front panel). Its 1/4" jacks sockets mean it can easily be integrated into a studio just like any synth or processor.

Red Square introduces 'modular synthesis' style sound creation for all those that are either daunted by the complexities of modulars, do not have to space for them, or for those that find them too expesive. Red Square gives you the oppurtunity to create a diverse range of sounds by using patch cables to re-route the signals. Red Square is a quick and easy to use synthesiser as its design is in a more familiar monosynth format.

MONOSYNTHESISER

The top row of controls on Red Square act as a complete (pre-patched) monosynth. This section allows Red Square to be used straigth away without having to patch any sections together. All that is needed is a MIDI cable and an audio cable. This means Red Square can be used straight away with no fuss or confusion as a powerful and flexible synthesiser sound machine.

The top row synthesiser comprises VCO1, Noise, External Signal, Sub Oscillator, LPF, EG1 and the VCA. The Ring Mod output also goes to the filter audio input, but its inputs must be patched first.

The additional sections like EG2, VCO2, Ring Mod, etc, can be patched into the monosynth to create even more varied and complex sounds, or they can be used independently or in conjuction with other synthesisers.

EFFECTS PROCESSOR

Don't just think of Red Square as just a patchable synthesiser. It is also a highly versatile analogue effects processor. Red Square has a panel full of professional quality 6.35mm jack sockets which allows it to be integrated into your studio set-up just like any effects processor. But instead of just another lifeless DSP processor, you have a warm, fat, or even down right dirty analogue effects processor.

The analogue filter or ring modulator can be used as two independent effects processors or chained in series for dual effects. They can be wired into your mixing desk's effect sends and returns just like any other effects unit. The additional sections of Red Square can be patched in to modulate the effect on your external audio signals. All this and you can still create and use an independent synthsiser patch too!"
