On Islands (Sunday Noodle) - dave smith instruments Pro 2

Published on Nov 26, 2016 100 Things I Do

"A Sunday noodle with the Pro 2. I have owned this synth now since it was released in 2014 (I got one of the very first units to come into Australia) and no matter how much I use it I feel like I haven't even started to scratch the surface of what is possible. As long as you don't use too much of the Sub Oscillator you can get a really convincing 4 voice poly out of it. Hope you enjoy!"

Sylvia Massy's Dog Plays a Synthesizer with Serge from System Of A Down

Qu Bit Chord Disintegration Jam # a million

Published on Nov 26, 2016 Nick Jackson

"Another redundant 'disintegration jam' based around the Qu-Bit Chord being mangled and destroyed by filters, distortion, and reverb. I actually have quite a bit of fun doing these, because as you may have been able to infer, I really enjoy distorted lo-fi ambient tones.

The patch is very simple..Chord into Ripples into Clouds, with Tides modulating the inversion of the Chord, creating a sort of faux melody. The textural magic really happens when I run the mix out through my guitar pedalboard. There, I have engaged a Smallsound/Bigsound Fuck Overdrive, ZVex Instant Lo-fi Junky, and Strymon BlueSky reverb. I've found the conjunction of these pedals to be a sort of lo-fi ambient 'secret sauce'. (not very secret though, is it)

I know this sound isn't for everyone, you may even 'dislike' it as people have done on my previous videos, but I kind of dig it and hope there's some people out there who will dig it as well. As always, thanks for listening! :)"

Moog Micromoog | Monophonic Analog Synthesizer

Published on Nov 26, 2016 Ralph Baumgartl

"We are taking a very quick look at the Moog Micromoog, which was introduced to the market in 1975. The Multimoog was derived from the Micromoog and was launched on the market in 1978. Both monophonic analog Synthesizers share a common manual which had the schematic drawings included. The Micromoog features one Voltage-controlled oscillator with variable waveshape, which can be infinitely adjusted from Saw to Square to Pulse. The LFO, Sample & Hold and Noise generator can also be used to modulate the waveshape, which allows for some fat sounds. This concept provides more sonic options than simple Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)."

"An improvised performance using a Striso board as controller and an Axoloti as sound source and effects"

Some info on the The Striso as a stand alone instrument. You'll find some videos on their site.

"The Striso is an entirely new musical instrument. It is intuitive to play, has its own distinct and very versatile sound, and combines the possibilities of electronic with the experience of an acoustic instrument. It is small enough to easily take with you, and you can play everywhere you want.

The base of the Striso is a field of small yet powerful buttons that are sensitive in all directions. They let you control the subtle properties of the sound of each note independently. Additionally, you can add accents and sound effects by shaking and moving the Striso. Together this creates enormous possibilities for musical expression.

The intuitive and systematic arrangement of the buttons makes you comprehend musical patterns, as all intervals, chords and scales have the same shape in every key. This lets you play in all keys with the same ease. Read more about the note layout at DCompose note layout.

The Striso is designed to keep you connected with the music you’re playing, whether you want to play lively folk melodies, complex jazz progressions, diverse world music, experimental microtonal compositions or anything else."

Patch Notes #26 - Generative Eurorack Jam

Published on Nov 25, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Exploring a generative patch using the Ornament & Crime Turing Machine mode along with some slightly randomized drums from the Varigate and some smooth tones from the DPO and Clouds.

The Ornament & Crime is in Quantermain mode, generating a single Turing Machine on channel D, clocked by the Make Noise Tempi and Turing probability modulated by a channel on Analog Memory. Tempi is also clocking Brains and Pressure Points, one channel of the connect Analog Memory module is routed through channel 3 on Maths, and then into the Ornament & Crime CV4 input.


This is the crux of the generative voice. The slowly stepping Analog Memory switches the O&C 100% chance of a randomized value on one step, then around 5% chance on the next step, and 0% chance on the last two steps. This means every 4 bars or so, the phrase is randomized to a degree.

The generative sequence is routed to the Make Noise DPO, onto the MMG filter via the Final output and then to the Optomix. The signal is then passed through Mutable Instruments Clouds running the Parasites firmware in Oliverb mode (updated this easily via the SpektroAudio ALTRNT website), and on to the Malekko Mix4 and out. The Malekko Varigate 4 is triggering an envelope on the AD/LFO, which is opening the Optomix.


Clouds is being heavily modulated. A sine wave LFO from the TipTop Audio Z3000 is modulating the decay time control, while the triangle wave is modulating the pre-delay. The right output from Clouds is fed back into the Z3000 waveshaper input and the sine wave out from the DPO modulation oscillator is routed to the FM input as well, further complicating sine and triangle waves. The stepped and smooth random outputs from the Make Noise Wogglebug are also modulating Clouds reverb size and damping filter respectively.


Tempi is clocking and resetting the Varigate which is already triggering the generative voice. In addition, one channel is triggering the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas which is acting as the snare. The BI is then passed through Mutable Instruments Warps in Parasites firmware delay mode, and out to the Mix4.


The kick and hihat are both sequenced on the Varigate as well, triggering the Roland Scooper via a few envelopes on the ADLFO.


The bass is sequenced via the DU-SEQ (clocked by Tempi), which is playing Mutable Instruments Braids. A looping envelope on the Intellijel Dual ADSR is modulating the Braids color input, giving some motion to the bass tone.
