3 Eurorack Filter Clones Compared

Published on Feb 18, 2018 poorness studios

"I have 3 Eurorack filters and they all happen to be clones of vintage synths. I did a side-by-side comparison of the Doepfer A-124 (EDP Wasp clone), STG Soundlabs Sea Devils (EMS Synthi clone), and Harvestman Polivoks VCF (Polivoks clone).

Check out this video for more details on the A-124 self-oscilaltion mod:"

DIY Project 11: Doepfer A-124 WASP self oscillation mod

Published on Jan 29, 2018 poorness studios

"I really wanted to do the WASP self-oscilaltion mod. However, I didn't want to lose the filter's original character. Here's a way to do it cheap and easy. Of course, you lose one of the CV jacks, but I think it's worth it for the flexibility.

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #48: Kawai K4r - Song 1

Published on Feb 28, 2018 Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the first song with the Kawai K4r. It's a 16-voices, 8-part multitimbral 16-Bit PCM digital synthesizer. This time the song is quite minimal, like a repeating chant. So, just lay back and relax when you listen the song ;-)

I used for the recording the following FX chain:
Kawai K4r - EarthQuaker Devices Afterneath - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated

The signal goes via a small Behringer mixer straight into the pc.

To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with just a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track."

Ambient Analog Jam "Glory" System 1m + Eventide H9 Roland SE 02 MiniNova UltraNova

Published on Feb 28, 2018 Denis Polic

"A New Arrival in my basement studio: Eventide H9 Harmoniser. The best thing is that Eventide gives you a possibility to chose the algorythm you want and load it to the H9, so you can pick up the best from every famous Eventide pedal, like Space, Timefactor and Pitchfactor, just load the App on the IPad, and i can even set the parameter on it. Thanks a lot Eventide!!!! After i swiched the Roland System 1m on it, and chose the Blackhole algorythm, it was just kind of a glory feeling to hear the sound with those looong shimmer echoes, so i turned the cam on, and thats it. Everything was recorded on fly, so sorry for some mistakes in playing. Hope you would like it and share and subscribe, thanks!!!

Gear used (in order of apperance):

Roland System 1m lead sound
Novation MiniNova pad sound
Roland SE-02 first sequence
Moog Minitaur Bass sound
Roland TR-8 Rhytm section
Novation Circuit claps and hihats
Arturia Microbrute 2-nd sequence
Waldorf Rocket 3-rd sequence
Novation Ultranova 2-nd lead sound

Arturia BeatStep Pro and Keystep as main sequencer

No DAW or other computer stuff was involved in this setup, only me and my hardware.

Headphones highly recommended!!!"

Spotted this one on Amazon. No mention of the EDP Wasp in the following description, so I'm guessing the tracks don't actually showcase the synth. Still pretty cool to see one on the cover.

Robert Moog Interview, Pacifica Radio Spring 1970

Published on Feb 21, 2018 mspysu79

"This is an interview with Synthesizer invented Robert Moog, the interview is in two parts, part 1 is an is an introduction to the synthesizer with demonstrations of creating sounds. Part 2 is information on to the types of music made with the Moog Synthesizer including examples.

The interview was conducted in the spring of 1970 in the studio inside the R.A. Moog Turmansburg NY facility. The interviewer is Gene Enders conducting the interview for Pacifica radio. The interview was produced by Gene Enders at station WBAI New York City.

The audio is structured so Dr. Robert Moog’s voice is on the Left Channel and interviewer Gene Enders voice is on the right. There is some distorted bleed through audio on the left channel at times when Enders is speaking, this distorted audio is on the original edited master tape of the interview."

Copy of Τετάρτη - Strymon Magneto, ambient patch performance

Published on Feb 28, 2018 Joe Miller - Xin

"A more structured performance of the '1hr Magneto Patch' -- focusing on the arc and build within the musical form.

Patch Notes:
Primary voice is Mangrove filtered via Three Sisters' Low Pass. It's pitch CV is derived from a Turning Machine sequence, quantized by Instruo Harmonaig, and then arpeggiated using the ADDAC206 quad switch. The amplitude CV is being enveloped by Quadra with some scaling and offset via WMD SPO.

Blackwavetable, Telharmonic, and Rings supply a variety of drones, and rhythmic pings.

Peaks is used as Kick and HiHat with drum sequencing via ShakKnights Gallop and the Time Wizard."

Sylicae EP Featuring Risset’s Harmonic Arpeggio Composed with ChucK

"Jean-Claude Risset’s harmonic arpeggio is a spectral composition technique that uses sine wave interference patterns. This technique allows you to create beautiful drone-like sound, over which occurs a downward cascading arpeggio of a specified subset of the harmonic series. The instrument’s timbre is similar to the sound produced by an overtone singer. Created by beating patterns that result from closely-spaced sinusoids (i.e. slightly detuned sine waves), Risset described the arpeggio gestures as 'spectral scans'"

Digitone & SP404SX jam session

"Ok so got my Digitone last week, haven't had a chance to really play around on it with work and other commitments..
Finally had a bit of time to jam, this is just one pattern and playing around, not planned or practiced so very sloppy and some Doh! moments with moving sweeps too fast or going into bad areas on the filters. But thought I would post anyway."

How to bring you the famous 70s analog stringensemble sound in a Casio CZ synthesizer

Published on Feb 27, 2018 RetroSound

"(c) 2018 vintage synthesizer demo by RetroSound

part. 3 of the CASIO CZ sound tutorial [more posts here]
The famous 70s stringensemble sound.

Sure the CASIO CZ is no Solina or Logan but the sound very like the Farfisa String Orchestra or Elec String Orchestra.

It´s an experiment that show how can bring expensive sounds in cheap synths. It`s all about good sound programming.

The lush 70s string ensemble sound is one of the most iconic sounds in history of synthesizers with soul. Try it.

I used a bit Lexicon MPX delay and Roland SRV reverb here.

With a EHX small stone phase shifter can you create Jarre soundscapes."
