WMD TRSHMSTR with drums and bass

Published on Feb 17, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"Destroying modular drums with the WMD TRSHMSTR and then using it on a bass sound. The drums are sequenced by the Noise Engineering Numeric Repetitor. Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter, Vermona Twincussion and Audio Damage Neuron make the drum sounds.

TRSHMSTR is a collaborative effort between WMD and electro-dance heavyweights MSTRKRFT. TRSHMSTR features an aggressive combination of band-pass filtering (FLTR) and distortion (DRV). The FLTR and DRV sections can be used independently or together to produce a wide variety of tone-shaping, from subtle distress to full-on acid destruction. The INs and OUTs of the FLTR and DRV sections are cross-normalled, so you can run your signal through FLTR and into DRV or vice-versa with no extra patching.

An Interview with Dorit Chrysler on Why You Should Open Your Mind to the Theremin

You can find the interview here.

"My mission is to get more people excited about the theremin.” These are the words of Dorit Chrysler, composer, musician, and one of the theremin’s biggest champions. She founded Kid Cool Theremin School, where she teaches theremin classes to adults and children. Now she's begun a one-year residency at the Gaite Lyrique Museum in France that includes performances, lectures, and intensive long-term theremin classes co-taught with French thereminist Thomas Suire. This residency is part of a larger effort to open the hearts and minds of the greater public to the magic of the theremin. 'The theremin still needs to be established more in the pantheon of accepted music instruments,' Dorit explains. 'It’s just such a different, unusual interface, and it’s difficult to play, so it’s underestimated always.'"

Synthtech E370 Quad Morphing VCO on Kickstarter

Synthesis Technology is seeking funding for their E370 Quad Morphing VCO on Kickstarter.

"Feb. 17, 2017

Synthesis Technology launches their first Kickstarter program today, the E370 Quad Morphing VCO. A 54HP wide Euro module, the E370 uses improved algorithms from the E340 Cloud Generator, the E350 Morphing Terrarium and the E330 Multi-Mode VCO for 96Khz, 16-bit sound. The microSD card allows users to load in their own wavetables and store presets. Shipping in October, the E370 is a skiff-friendly, highly user-programmable oscillator bank. Visit the campaign page for videos, audio files and full specifications."

"The E370 Quad Morphing VCO is a Eurorack-compatible module containing 4 independent digital voltage-controlled oscillators.

The E370 Quad Morphing VCO is a DSP-based, quad oscillator Eurorack module from Synthesis Technology. Using improved algorithms from the E350 Morphing Terrarium, the E340 Cloud Generator and the new E330 Multi-Mode VCO, the E370 is the most technically advanced Euro oscillator available. The four VCOs can be individually controlled, used in a set of two pairs, or ganged in “Unison”. A full-color TFT display is used in a ‘shallow depth’ menu system and can show each VCO’s output in real-time (oscilloscope mode). A micro-SD card slot allows users to load in their own custom wavetables and to save & load presets into the E370.

The E370 is 54HP wide and has a depth behind the panel of 48mm (1.89in). It uses a 16-pin shrouded header (standard Euro power, the cable is included) and the target power consumption is +12V @155ma and -12V @40ma. The final power will be available once the project is funded and the module is running the code and the TFT backlight current is determined. About 35% of the current off +12V is determined by the setting of TFT brightness."

PATCH.DIARY.2017.02.17 from Phosfiend Systems on Vimeo.

"It's kind of fun to fire up an old patch and try to figure out just what was going on. No drum modules were drumming in this percussive patch, with lots of envelopes and VCAs shaping a whole mess of sound sources. Main envelope duty is coming from Frames (which is VCAing and sequencing 4 voices from the Shapeshifters) and the Ornament & Crime is providing 4 more envelopes (that took me a moment to remember) that are driving a Ripples generated kick, a DSM shaped dirty tom thing, and maybe a pitched shift register noise thing from the Noisering? and It's all driven by the SSF Ultra Random Analog."

HOW TO MAKE DUB TECHNO CHORDS ON THE DEEPMIND 12 | SOUND DESIGN TUTORIAL ~ Synthesize This! Ep.13

Published on Feb 17, 2017 once upon a synth

"Let's make dub techno chords / stabs on the Behringer Deepmind 12 synth. This involves creating a plucky/stab envelope shape and careful tweaking of the filter. But the key ingredient is that analog delay so in this case I've used a TelRay delay which is a built in effect in the Deepmind 12 based on oil cans. It's the closest thing to a "tape delay" in this synth."

How To Learn Dexed Part 1 - Unboxing and Comparing Yamaha DX7 Synthesizer Parameters

Published on Feb 17, 2017 Power DX7

"This is a tutorial video of a free DX7 emulation, Dexed.

My plan was to get Dexed working around mid last year, but I made mistakes and couldn’t get working until recently. I include my mistakes, so that people who want to use this DX7 emulaiton software will not make the same mistake I made again!!

In part 1, I will show how you download, unbox and install Dexed for Mac using Logic Pro X. Then I will take you through each FM synthesis priority parameter, comparing its similarities and differences in detail.

Topics that are covered:
- Algorithm
- Feedback
- Oscillator
- Envelope Generator
- Keyboard Rate Scaling
- Output Level
- Key Velocity Sensitivity

Also there are additional features that you need to consider for the FM sound design.
- Operator On/Off
- EG Copy
If you know if Dexed has these features, please let me know, as I could not find them in the interface. They should be in the edit screen, as those two features are critical for the FM sound design process."

Pandora's Dreadbox - Nyx and Erebus

Published on Feb 17, 2017 dænkrø_ ElectriXity_

"As Pandora opens her box more and more evil forces escape from inside. When she succeeds to close it again, hope is the last thing that remains inside the box. With the Erebus and the Nyx, two Greek Gods of the darkness in front of me, I decided to elaborate musically on this myth.
I 'm aware, there's a lot of unnecessary cuts and video effects,
I merely had to dive into my new video edit software and check it out thoroughly!! I'll be more moderate next time ;-)
The synths are sequenced by a specifically designed patch, I call „Pandora’s Array“ (black PB). You can download it on patchblocks.com.
It not only fires random notes, but also randomizes the time difference between two triggers (within a certain time frame).

Left knob increases note density.
Right knob selects the timbre (free, ionian, hexatonic, pentatonic, minor chord)

Left LED indicates trigger out
Right button selects octave range (1-4)

Share and enjoy!!"

Roland JU-06 - Roland Demora - Keith McMillen K-Board

Published on Feb 17, 2017 Alba Ecstasy

"A patch I made on Roland JU-06, during the last session yesterday. JU-06 is controlled by Keith McMillen K-Board - a nice controller that allows me to give to the JU-06 an analog drift feeling by K-Board's Tilt & Press functions. Roland Demora plays an important role, contributing with its magnificent (on my taste, sure) stereo delay.

Enjoy and have a great weekend, my friends!

PS: Roland JU-06 patches - soon!"
