keith's psychedelic breakfast - Moog System 55

Published on Aug 6, 2016 100 Things I Do

"This weeks clip is something a little different. Last night at The Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio (MESS) I had a few hours to explore the Moog System 55. Everything you hear in this clip was generated during that session, the sounds were then cut and trimmed this morning and assembled as you hear them in quasi concrete style. Effects used are Logic's ring modulator and as always Eventide's Black Hole. The video I took during the session came out pretty rough do to the Florissant lights so its more a montage than my normal clips. Hope you enjoy! Thanks also to Ross for hosting of the evening and Shane for some added noodle flavor :D"

Rephazer - Little Mad Sometimes (Live Minimal/Acid with Octatrack, Analog Four, vPed and OP-1)

Published on Aug 6, 2016 Rephazer

"Hi folks, It's been a while since I did a live 'house' jam so here it is..

Some heavy use of the Elektron Octatrack and Analog Four on the first half of the jam featuring a kind of 'Minimal Acid' style.. The Mode Machines vPed and Teenage Engineering OP-1 are used some more on the second half of the jam featuring a more experimental melodic minimal techno style.

All audio is going into the Octatrack and the audio output of the Octatrack is recorded with the Zoom H4n.

Sorry for the quick fade-out at the end.. Not sure why that happened while rendering the video, but there used to be a long(er) reverb tail.."

In Theory

Published on Aug 6, 2016 davidryle

"It should work...

I took a leap and bought quite a few new modules all at lone to try a rhythm experiment as well as a different direction in tonal work.

Noise Engineering's Numeric Repetitor, Confundo Funkitus, Tonnetz Sequent are in play here along with a Mutable Instruments Grids. Battle plan included trying straight pulse inputs for the clock timing from a 4MS QCD which is picking up a master timing off the Intellijel Metropolis RYK-M185 sequencer. They are playing nice with a suite of STG Soundlabs sequencer modules and Time Divider as well as a Moon Modular 554 Octal Divider to hammer out some pulse timings to the Tonnetz Sequent. A pair of Synthesizers.com Q962 sequential switches are further dividing up the various pulses to the Home and Transform functions on the Tonnetz Sequent.

The tonal chords from the TS is running a trio of Synthesizers.com Q106's sent through a Yusynth mixer to a Behringer CC300 Space Chorus and on to an Oakley Audio Discontinuity Wavefolder and then on through a Jurgen Haible Tau "Pipe" phaser and finally into a Modcan Dual Delay which is cv swept from a Makenoise Pressure Points and Brains. Whew! It was worth the 100 feet of cables though as it sounds similar to an old Leslie driven Hammond organ in places - like!

Mutable Instruments Rings starts the piece with a bit of resonant bleeps dampened to sound like wood blocks a few minutes into the production. A copy of the Metropolis sequence to a Harvestman Piston Honda is split up going to an Echophon, Phonogene, Clouds and Z-DSP for loads of background effects. It is also sent through a Behringer DD400 digital delay paneled into a 5U module before sent to a MOTM 440 discrete OTA low pass filter. This is also part of the opening sounds set. The last thing banging out a nasty bass tone is the Makenoise Mysteron.
Bass drum is a single Q106 vco through a Q109 ADSR. The snare sound is a TipTop SD808 and the clicky hat sound is an pair of Q106's in conjunction with a double resonant Q107 SVF filter in high pass mode and Q109 ADSR. The Q107 is also being modulated by a Sputnik West Coast Random Source FRV probability cv.

It worked for me."

Free Train - Yamaha Montage Jam with Ableton Live 9 and Akai APC Mini

Published on Aug 5, 2016 Earmonkey Music

"Playing live over tracks I recorded, then launching, looping, and more playing live.. All sounds are the Yamaha Montage. I set up a scene that has four different instruments you can bounce between. A synth bass, a Wurli, a clav, and a synth lead/pad. Just jamming because if I don't I go stale and die."

Patchwerks Synth Petting Zoo at DAT 2016

Published on Aug 5, 2016 Brenden Hierro

"DAT (Digital and Analog Technologies) Conference 2016 brings PatchWerks from Seattle to set up the Synth Petting Zoo in Caras Park on Sunday. Andy Reichel explains the ins and outs of a modular synthesizer."

Note Patchwerks Seattle is set for August 21.

Side note: I was trying to figure out what was written on the top right of the Moogerfooger at 1:24 and on the bottom of the modules. I then realized the video is mirrored in reverse! Funny. It's synthesizers.com of course and Moogerfooger in reverse.

Playing with stuff - Electribe 2 as an insert effect

Published on Aug 6, 2016 ElektroNoiser

"Since I do not have my effect Zoom RFX1000 as reverb for my evolver, I plan on using the effect of my E2 to connect Aux1 and Aux2 my mixer to the audio input of my E2, thus I will get a better dry / wet relation to have these separate parameters.
Waldorf Blofeld = Bass + Stab
DSI Evolver E2 = sequencer tewaking With Reverb
Korg Electribe2 = Drums + Phaser Strings and "Wet reverb" for audio input
Kawai Q80ex = Master sequencer
