In this video the Andromeda deploys an onslaught of non-stop analog sensory bombardment.

All synthesizer audio coming from the Andromeda comprising over 40 original patches. No outboard effects were used, only a few instances of the built-in delays and reverb. All sequencing and arpeggios also from on-board. Rhythm provided by a Roland TR-8. Thanks for watching. Be sure to subscribe, like and comment."

MT40 Digital Dancehall Revolution promo


Published on Mar 14, 2016 GoldbabySamples

"The MT40 Digital Dancehall Revolution is available now: http://www.goldbaby.co.nz/mt40.html"

Casio MT-40s on eBay

"The Casio MT40 looks like a typical 80s home keyboard, however it has a remarkable history. It was used to create a song called Under Mi Sleng Teng... which kicked off the digital Dancehall revolution. The rock drum preset and bass accompaniment are unmistakable and have been used numerous times since.

The MT40 drums are lofi but surprisingly punchy. The Bass is warm and fuzzy and very distinctive. The keyboard instruments are based on 2 mixed variable pulse square waves, with digital envelopes and a low pass filter.

I have given this famous little keyboard the Goldbaby treatment. Using a studio full of tasty analog hardware to sample all the drum sounds as single drum hits and loops ( Rex, Apple and Wav). I have also sampled the bass sound with 4 different signal chains and lastly I multi-sampled 16 of the keyboard tones.

This sample pack pays homage to a very unexpectedly influential instrument. Had a fantastic time creating it and I think it sounds great!

With kits and instruments for Geist, Battery, Reason, Logic, Kontakt and Maschine."

Bastl Instruments CV Trinity - the modulation superhero - full DEMO


Published on Mar 14, 2016 Bastl Instruments

"everything you needed to know about the CV Trinity"


via Bastl Instruments

"CV Trinity has 6 independent channels with CV outputs, each of which can be set to AUTOMATION, LFO or ADSR. Each channel also has a CV INPUT. The selected output [select OUT] outputs a copy of the channel that is selected for editing and lights the indication LED. Use SELECT buttons for selecting the channel and knobs for adjusting its parameters. Pressing the mode button changes between the modes. Clock OUT can be adjusted by holding select button and turning the top knob. Clk OUT is normalized to Clock IN

Automation is 32 step voltage memory with adjustable amount of linear interpolation. Hold the record button and turn RECORD knob to adjust the automation curve. Clock input advances to next automation step. Automations can be variable number of steps and can be clocked either by master clock input or by individial CV inputs.

LFO has RATE that goes up to audiorate, XOR waveshaping and SHAPE selection with ramp, triangle, inverted ramp, flopping ramp, flopping triangle and stepped random voltage source with smoothing. The random signal can be looped. LFO can by synchronized to clock input (different divisions/multiplications are than set with the RATE knob). CV input controls the RATE of the LFO.

ADSR uses the CV input as GATE input for triggering the envelope. It can be linear or exponential, it can be looped and it can either work in ADSR mode or AHR mode. DECAY is set to the same value as RELEASE."

NEW INC Showcase 2015 Presents: The Counterpointer


Published on Jul 22, 2015 NEW INC

See this previous post for some demos of The Counterpointer.

"The Counterpointer is a synthesizer that generates Baroque harmonies to a melody input by the user. The one on show at Red Bull was a collaboration between Luisa Pereira and Yotam Mann.

NEW INC’s first end-of-year Showcase features new, collaborative projects that have been developed over the course of the program’s inaugural year. Driven by a pure quest for experimentation and play, and informed by a commingling of disparate disciplines and ideas, these works thwart our expectations, defy categorization, and offer novel ways of looking at and interacting with the everyday.

NEW INC, the New Museum’s cultural incubator, unveiled eight new, collaborative projects for it’s first end-of-year Showcase. The featured works, which were developed over the course of the incubator program’s inaugural year, are driven by a pure quest for experimentation and play, and informed by a commingling of disparate disciplines and ideas. These projects thwart our expectations, defy categorization, and offer novel ways of looking at and interacting with the everyday.

On view at Red Bull Studios New York, July 10-30 2015 (Wed-Sun, 12-7PM).

6 minutes with a Moog Voyager


Published on Feb 2, 2016 Jerry Richardson

"6 minutes of me with my MiniMoog Voyager. I test out my newest axe and discover the most expressive synthesizer I've ever played. Sorry about the squeeky sustain pedal, and the audio isn't the best because I literally forgot to hit record in pro tools. Taken with my gopro in my home studio. Organs are a Yamaha MOX8."

N/O/D/E 2016: conférence Olivier Gillet (Mutable instruments)


Published on Mar 6, 2016 Node Rendez-vous

Olivier Gillet presentation at the recent N/O/D/E 2016 event and conference.

"« Comprendre l'aléatoire et ses applications à la musique

Conférence d'Olivier Gillet (Mutable Instruments) donné le samedi 30 janvier 2016 à Pôle Sud, Lausanne, à l'occasion du N/O/D/E 2016, rendez-vous des curiosités sonores, autour de la thématique "algorithmes et big data"

Existe-t-il différents types ou degrés d'aléatoire ? Comment le décrit-on, le mesure-t-on ? Dans cette conférence, le concepteur de synthétiseurs Olivier Gillet vulgarise différents concepts mathématiques (continu/discret, distribution, indépendance, bruit, chaîne de markov) qui permettent de mieux saisir les différentes formes de hasard qu'on peut mettre en œuvre dans une composition musicale, que ce soit à l'échelle des notes d'une partition ou de la matière sonore elle-même. Chaque concept est illustré interactivement par des programmes python ou puredata, et ses applications musicales (que ce soit dans une composition de Xenakis ou dans les entrailles d'un module eurorack) sont présentées.

"Understanding the random and music applications
Conference Olivier Gillet (Mutable Instruments) given Saturday, January 30, 2016 at the South Pole, Lausanne, at the N / O / D / E 2016, appointment of sound curiosities, around the theme 'Big Data and Algorithms'
Are there different types or degrees of randomness? How do we describe the do we measure? In this conference, the designer Olivier Gillet synthesizers popularizes various mathematical concepts (continuous / discrete, distribution, independence, noise, Markov chain) to better understand the different forms of chance that can be implemented in a musical composition , whether to scale notes of a score or sound material itself. Each concept is illustrated with python interactively or puredata programs, and music applications (whether in a composition of Xenakis or in the bowels of a eurorack module) are presented."
