chris randall - exploration.03

Published on Jul 4, 2015 Chris Randall

"Another workflow exploration, live to 2-track tape. For this one, I made all the drum samples on the Euro and sampled them in to Maschine, so I could have more control over the rhythm than sequencing it 'live.' The 2nd (yellow) bank of Maschine has an instance of Silent Way Sync that is clocking the Euro. First (orange) and third (green) banks have drum samples from the Euro. The two synth lines are playing from the two Audio Damage Sequencer 1 modules."

Analogue Solutions Megacity #03 - Syncing Megacity Clock to Incoming MIDI

Published on Jul 4, 2015 rezfilter

"Take it up a notch! http://tinyurl.com/lctm7ra

Here's a brief overview of connecting the Analogue Solutions Megacity 64-step Tear Drop Sequencer to Incoming Midi.

So let's say you've created the perfect sequence and you'd like to incorporate that sequence into a new track. Or, you'd simply
like to compose your Megacity sequences alongside your DAW in real-time as your song plays back.

Rather than trying to manually turn Megacity's tempo knob and sync the output audio to your track, it's best to synchronize Megacity with your DAW of choice and get your BPM information from your song's tempo settings.

Featured: Megacity, Nyborg-12 synthesizer

I Dream Of Wires Coming to VOD & Worldwide DVD Release - Berlin Screening with Morton Subotnick

I Dream of Wires is coming to video on demand via iTunes and Vimeo on Demand on August 10. The DVD will be released in Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America on July 31st. To celebrate, there will be a screening in Berlin with a performance and Q&A session with Morton Subotnick.

"To celebrate the August VOD/DVD release of I DREAM OF WIRES, the definitive and acclaimed electronic music documentary about the rise, fall and rebirth of the modular synthesizer, MONODUO FILMS presents a very special screening and electronic music event in Berlin.

On Tuesday July 28, I DREAM OF WIRES will celebrate it’s release premiere in Berlin, followed by a live performance by the legendary Morton Subotnick. Taking place at Babylon Kino Berlin, Morton Subotnick, accompanied by his frequent collaborator, video artist Lillevan, presents FROM SILVER APPLES OF THE MOON TO A SKY OF CLOUDLESS SULFUR REVISITED: VI, marking Subotnick’s first live appearance in Germany since 2011.

Morton Subotnick’s contributions to electronic music cannot be overstated; as a founding member of the seminal San Francisco Tape Music Center, Subotnick played a key role in the conception and development of the influential Buchla modular synthesizer. Armed with his Buchla, Subotnick composed and recorded the landmark 1967 LP, SILVER APPLES OF THE MOON, widely regarded as a modern classic, and the first all-electronic music album to connect with popular music audiences. In 2010 SILVER APPLES was selected for the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress. Long considered one of the essential milestones in electronic music, it continues to have great effect on later generations of artists.

Subotnick’s interview in I DREAM OF WIRES, alongside interviews with influential electronic musicians including Trent Reznor, Gary Numan, Carl Craig, James Holden and Vince Clarke, is pivotal in the film, and provides a revealing insight into this true electronic music visionary.

The film will be introduced by I DREAM OF WIRES' director Robert Fantinatto, who will also join Morton Subotnick for a post-screening Q&A. This July 28 event is more than just a celebration of the modular synthesizer; it’s a rare opportunity to learn and experience the historical roots of electronic music.

I Dream Of Wires is an independent documentary about the history, demise and resurgence of the modular synthesizer - exploring the dreams and obsessions of people who have dedicated part of their lives to this fascinating, esoteric electronic music machine. Over 100 inventors, musicians and enthusiasts are interviewed about their relationship with the modular synthesizer - for many, it’s an all-consuming passion.

Through tracing the history of the modular synthesizer, I Dream Of Wires also outlines the history of electronic music as a whole, from its very beginnings at the dawn of the electric age. The film provides a fascinating look at how technology has shaped the electronic music landscape. Today, the modular synthesizer is no longer an esoteric curiosity or even a mere music instrument - it is an essential tool for radical new sounds and a bona fide subculture.

Interviews include:
- Legendary electronic musicians: Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails), Morton Subotnick, Gary Numan, Vince Clarke (Erasure).
- Contemporary dance & electronica artists: Carl Craig, James Holden, Legowelt.
- Synthesizer manufacturers: Doepfer, Modcan, Make Noise.

Animal (Music video featuring modular synths, 12bit samplers & pets)

Published on Jul 4, 2015 synthjunk

"This track was produced with sounds from the telemetry/eurorack modular and my voice. Then sampled into 12bit S612 samplers which were midi sequenced using the Doepfer MAQ16/3 sequencer and then processed back through the modular system being clocked simultaneously by the MAQ16/3 gate output. Drums from the Jomox xbase09, recorded with Ableton. Hope you enjoy.

This track is from the Tune Up album which is available as a free download from my bandcamp page. https://synthjunk.bandcamp.com"

"This synth is fully working and in tip top condition. Yes, it's 35 years old but looks almost like new. It is a UK model, 240 volts with a UK plug.

All the keys are perfect, no cracks or damage at all and they all work perfectly.

All pots are crackle free and the control knobs are in perfect condition.

The sliders are also crackle free and in great condition.

All functions work as they should, including the unique spring reverb. This had a couple of wires loose (a common problem with spring reverbs) but these have been soldered back into place. Whilst the unit was open to do this I took the opportunity to clean all the key contacts and check everything else.

The chassis is entirely made of metal and the end facia panels are wood, so it's heavy! The only damage is a chip to the right end panel, as pictured. There are some minor signs of wear and a couple of faint scratches but otherwise it's excellent. Even the underside is in great condition. It has 4 adjustable feet which work as they should.

The presets are fantastic, brilliantly retro and 100% analogue.

There is an effects section and touch effects section, this synth has aftertouch, an amazing feature for the time. All these effects work perfectly. It also stays in tune and stable, even after playing for a long time.

Despite being a preset instrument, by using the wide array of effects a tremendous variety of very strong sounds can be achieved.

These are incredibly rare synthesizers and rarely come up for sale.

Theftertouch section was made under licence from ARP and there are some people of the opinion that the 100P is in fact identical to the ARP Pro Soloist, re bodied and badged Kawai.

This instrument also appeared in a similar form (from 1979) under the Teisco label but this one is a bit later and dates from 1980."
