Arturia DrumBrute - Demo and Unboxing

Published on Nov 28, 2016 INTIMATE MACHINE

"Unboxing and demo of the new Arturia DrumBrute analog drum machine.

We're a Los Angeles based electronic duo who uses both analog and digital table-top synths. As fans of Arturia's Mini/Microbrute we were hoping for the same quality of sound and performance in the DrumBrute. Although the machine is fun to play, we found the sounds lacking in character and depth - falling short of our favored (not analog) Elektron Machinedrum SPS-1 MKII.

The DrumBrute's sequencer and individual drum outputs could make it useful in the studio - especially for someone who doesn't already own the equivalent hardware."

Rob Papen's Predator 2 Released

Predator 2 Live stream 24 Nov.2016

Streamed live on Nov 24, 2016 Rob Papen

via the Rob Papen website:

"Predator 2 is the successor of a legendary synthesizer that has inspired many artists/composers and appears on countless music tracks! As before it combines inspiring presets and cutting edge features to make this your ‘go-to’ synth for contemporary music production.
The user interface has again been designed so that almost all main controls are visible on screen, making it fun and incredibly easy-to-use.

With Predator 2 and all its many cool features, we have also included an ‘Easy Page’ for the users that don’t like too many controls. The ‘Easy Page’ offers you the most important parameters if you want to change a sound quickly or just want to use the handy ‘preset variation’ function, which is an intelligent randomizer.
Predator 2 is packed with new powerful features such as: ‘Waveform morphing’, ‘Waveform drawing’, “WaveSet playmode’, XY pad, new EQ, and new voice level distortion.... and so much more!

Shipped with inspirational presets, Predator 2 is a unique synthesizer concept which combines ‘User Friendliness’ and ‘Packed Features’ in one amazing product.

Each oscillator is now dual, using two different waves (including the 8 user waves), with a variety of different waves of mixing / morphing between them
Each preset can hold up to 8 user waves, which can be combined into wave-sets, which can be traversed in different ways.
Each user wave is editable, using up to 256 partials, and with advanced commands to edit & shape these wavetables. Included with Predator 2 are many wave-tables and wave-sets.
each filter & oscillator is now fully stereo
much expanded second filter, with full controls & envelopes, plus a 3rd high pass filter
improved unison mode, so that you can now have up-to 6 unison sub-voices for each full voice, allowing unison to work in all play modes
XY screen, with recordable paths, which can be used to modulate all the controls
Dual Arp ( A & B) , with join mode allowing you to have up 32 step Arp. Plus new Sequencer Arp mode
increased envelopes & LFOs (up from 2 to 4)
Increased number of modulation steps (from 8 to 20), with advanced modulation mode allowing you to step limits & upper / lower amounts
Improved chord editing
Dual 3 band EQ with low / high pass filter which can be used pre / post of the effects.
Each section can have it’s own presets, and commands such as clearing / copying / pasting
Easy mode
Big Screen mode
Much improved preset management, with find mode & tagging
Almost 6000 presets"

Dave Smith Instruments Artist Interview with Baseck

You can find the full interview on DSI's website here.

"Baseck is a Los Angeles-based experimental electronic musician. His roots run deep in L.A.’s underground rave scene since the early 90s. Baseck’s fascination with sound brought him to turntablism at an early age. His attraction to hands-on hardware, learned from scratching records, led to audio manipulation with small battery powered toys, drum machines, then modular synthesizers. His unique style and mastery of a wide range of music hardware segued into his involvement with music technology. Since 2013, Baseck has been working with synthesizer companies to design concepts to enhance user playability. Variatic Basicus, a Eurorack module created by Noise Engineering, was built for his live performance needs. DSI’s Tempest analog drum machine includes presets designed by Baseck. His style builds on past musical experiments, combining the 80’s drum machine sounds of Breakdance and Industrial, with a future approach to Drum & Bass and Braindance using both analog and digital hardware."

Delia Derbyshire to Have Road Named After Her in Coventry

via BBC Local Live:

"The composer who helped craft the Doctor Who theme tune is set to be honoured by having a road named after her.

Delia Derbyshire, a music pioneer from Coventry, became the uncredited creator of the famous theme while working in the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

Her contribution to popular culture will be marked by Derbyshire Way in her native city.

Pete Chambers BEM, director of The Coventry Music Museum, was among those to campaign for the recognition. He said: 'Originally it was to be named Derbyshire Road, but I suggested 'Way' instead, so it gave a double meaning, as Delia was a genius and strong personality and really did do things in her own way.'"

How cool is that?

I'm just turning down the volume of the Minilogue on the bridge. Single take. No dubbing or processing."

Modular Minutes: Doepfer A 101-3 Vactrol Phaser Percussive Delicacies

Published on Nov 27, 2016

"The A-101-3 Modular Vactrol Phaser has always left us puzzled, we heard so much good sweeps, yet onlin content was few and far between. So it was time to set one up in Analogue Zone's Budapest Showroom! For the first patch we were using it with some new/old Doepfer modules: the percussive oscillation is coming from the A-111-3 Micro Precision VCO and we added some BBD delayed audio of one of the phaser's stages output filtered by A-121-2, the eurorack version of the filter from Doepfer's desktop monosynth, the Dark Energy II. The A-101-3 is sweet and fat, and it just bends and swings even the simple waveforms in an endless fashion! You can easily turn a VCO into a conga or into some giant monster's vocalising... Follow your ears and patch the way you want it with the feedack inputs and phaser stage outputs!

Modules used in the patch:

Roland Boutique JP-08 Control Change Update Jupiter-8 Synthesizer Rik Marston JP8

Published on Nov 28, 2016 SynthgodXXX

"Roland Boutique JP-08 Control Change Update by Rik Marston 100% NO TALKING! Just JP-08!!

Yes they did it. A new update for the Roland JP-08!
Now you can get that "Sweet Spot" from an external
MIDI device / Controller / Keyboard of your choice!!
I am using a Roland GW-8 as MIDI master & tweaking
the patches on the fly! AWESOME! Way better now!!!
I can only imagine using a JD-800 or JP-8000 for this
as a MIDI controller! Anything with sliders or knobs!!
I am going to be purchasing a SECOND JP-08 soon
so I can use the 8 voices to it's fullest!
I love long RELEASE! Pads go on forever in my studio!
So 8 voices is a 'Must Have' for Jupiter-8 Pads... [anyone know if Roland fixed this yet?]

Anyway I qualify for the whole "Jupiter Widow" name.
I have owned a Roland Jupiter-8 (See my video for it)
so I really know how a Jupiter-8 should act & sound...
I believe there is nothing compared to a REAL JUPITER-8,
but baby, they did a GREAT JOB on this unit. Seriously.
It just needs an ELEKTRON ANALOG HEAT to run thru
and you may be closer than ever to a real one..
Just make sure you have a SECOND JP-08 for the full
8 voice Jupiter-8 vibe & a great keyboard to play on.
Again, it's NOT A REAL JUPITER-8, BUT IT SOUNDS
EXCELLENT & gives you what you are looking for...
I am satisfied in my search for a Jupiter-8, I can't
afford a REAL one now, SO THIS WILL DO JUST FINE!
And I can afford TWO!! Hell yeah!!
More videos of the JP-08 chained coming soon!!!
