SERGE WAD+GE PITCH&ENV FOLLOWER @EMS


Published on Apr 11, 2018 noyzelab

"A quick iphone recording during a Rainwire [Processed] session on the Serge modular at EMS Stockholm. I'm sending out a Rainwire recording into the Serge / Gentle Electric Pitch & Envelope Follower. This is extracting control signals for a large patch on the Serge, mainly centred around the Wilson Analog Delay. Both of those named modules are ultra-rare, and I was super lucky to be able to have these sessions using them!

Recorded June 2017 at EMS Sweden during my Regional Arts Fellowship. This Regional Arts Fellowship is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW.

Testing https...

Just a heads up, I'll be testing Bloggers' https settings for a little bit. Some site functionality like the archives page might not work. Posts should be fine. This site doesn't require login so https is technically not necessary, however, the internet...  If I can get everything working I will keep https on, if not we'll go back to http.

Update: After a few tweaks it looks like it is working.  Https it is.  If anyone notices any problems with the site, let me know either via the comments or the email icon on the bottom right of the site.  I'll leave this post up for that reason, and as a bookmark on when the site switched to https.

Update2: Recent comments weren't working.  They are now fixed.  I also noticed the site was a bit slower to load over https but it seems to be getting better over time. I'm guessing images just needed to get cached again. If you experience the same give it a few visits for things to cache.

Jomox Alpha Base "in the mix" - Oberheim Matrix-1000, Novation Peak, Deluge, Acidbox


Published on Apr 11, 2018 Charles Whiley

"Here we have a simple 4 on the floor kick drum sequence running from the Jomox Alpha Base analog drum synthesizer. This is my very first attempt at sending MIDI clock to it and integrating it with the rest of my gear. The shaker/hat sound is not the Alpha Base but rather is coming from the Synthstrom Deluge's internal drum samples. The bass line is the Oberheim Matrix-1000 w/ Stereoping controller, Erica Synths AcidBox II, and the TC Electronics G-Major effects processor. The melodic line is the Novation Peak."

ALM Busy Circuits SMT soldering technique

Published on Apr 11, 2018 Synth & Sundry

"Octatrack sampler demoing the preloaded parts, patterns and scenes from Goldbaby's Caught on Tape 808+909 sample pack.
Really punchy and versatile drum sounds from Roland classic drum machines and the demo bank is a wonderful way to get a taste of the sonic potential of not just the samples but also the Octatrack itself.

MESSE 2018: General Music Elka Panther Organ Recreation


Published on Apr 11, 2018 sonicstate

"Spotted at the General Music booth in the ominously quiet hall 11.1, was a virtual Organ instrument based on the little known Italian Elka Panther - an organ made in the 1960s to sound like the classic Vox Continental and Farfisas of the time.

The Panther was modeled after they found a pristine Panther original in the estate of an ex Elka employee. Together with all the schematics and manuals.

The new Panther virtual will be available soon priced at around 99 Euros from General Music.

MESSE 2018: CHRT Synthesizer - A True Analogue Monophonic Valve Synthesizer

Update: one more from Synth Anatomy:

MESSE 2018: CHRT Synthesizer - Analog Valve Instrument For Wind Instrumentalists | SYNTH ANATOMY



via http://www.chrtsynth.org

"CHRT Synthesizer is a true analog monophonic valve sythesizer, designed mainly as a sound module for MIDI wind controllers, such as Yamaha WX5 or Akai EWI. A slight variation of firmware can turn it into a greatly responsive sound module for a keyboard player.

The main features of CHRT Synthesizer are:

natural electric, real synth sound - no attempts to "sound-like-some-acoustic-instrument"
different approach to sound synthesis compared to mainstream subtractive analogs - something I would like to call Natural Synthesis
the whole tone signal path is a pure thermionic valve circuit, digital circuits are used only for what they are good at - MIDI to CV, tuning, etc.
it is designed by a saxophonist, therefore with great demands on dynamics, phrasing, articulation, accents - simply a real musical instrument you have to learn a bit how to play
which means it fully utilizes all MIDI data coming from the wind controller
proper design in terms of earthing, ground circuit and shielding ensures that the instrument has no hum or noise issues
The basic CHRT Synthesizer design is a 2U 19" rack

shipped as a DIY kit, while you can decide on the level of help and assistance with assembly, boards soldering, activation and debugging.

However, the structure is quite flexible and can fit, for example, into some vintage cases. Please do not hesitate to discuss the possibilities.
Here is the CHRT Synthesizer built into a case rescued from a wreck of a 50s tape recorder:

The software part - firmware can be adopted to your needs, e.g. a custom MIDI implementation. Please do not hesitate to discuss the possibilities."

Intellijel Tetrapad - modular jam session


Published on Apr 11, 2018 ollilaboratories

"If you like my stuff please support me on http://music.ollilab.com/ and https://www.patreon.com/theBURG

I received the Intellijel tetrapad today, this got me really excited as this takes my "control boat" to the level where i want to be.. e.g tactile surfaces to control voltages and what nots in my modular system. It helps with not having to dive in between cables, e.g just patch up the stuff i usually want to control, or some other weird stuff and go with the flow. :)

I took a track that i am currently working on, sort of finished up.. used that old patch to save some time, slowed down the bpm a bit and hooked up the tetrapad.

Tetrapad is in fader mode, with 1-.3 in latch, and 4 momentary. First one listed is fader, second is pressure.

Fader 1: Ripples filter cutoff and an envelope release/fall in maths used for the A-111-3 VCO bass line. VCA is uVCA, driven pretty hot.

Fader 2: Structure and Brightness to the Rings melody.

Fader 3: uVCF filter cutoff and timbre for the SYNC sound sequence on braids.

Fader 4: Pitch and decay for the BIA rhythm pattern.

All is sequenced by the winter modular eloquencer. There is also a fair bit of modulation going on from PAM and uO_C, especially for BIA to create some extra movement to the drum pattern.

FX for Rings and Braids is the strymon timeline, BIA and A-111-3 keeley caverns."

Teenage Engineering OP-1 Sounds like Fatboy Slim (Rockafeller Skank)

Update: Re-Published as Teenage Engineering OP-1 Sounds like Fatboy Slim Rockafeller Skank / revise

"* final song at 04:52

Hello fat skinny guys! In this video I will recreate the sound of the famous song by the sacred monster Fatboy Slim 'Rockaffeller Skank', at the time lovely made entirely with 2 sampler units akai s950 and its trusted Atari ST1040. At the base of this song there are some samples that we will review and resample together with this little hell from Teenage Engineering, the OP1. Obviously I added my creative contribution and my messes, because it is too fun to use this little big synth to get any kind of sound, ok I admit, I'm in love with the "electronic" 90s productions but this was understood! :) Take chips, turn up the volume to the max and enjoy !!

*** special thanks to Roberto Forlini for his groove on the Drum!"

Touché & Minilogue : Stack Bass


Published on Apr 11, 2018 Expressive E

"In this series of videos, we explore some of the presets for the Korg Minilogue that comes with every Touché.

Touché ships with Lié, its companion software. Lié is a host of plug-ins and comes with tailor-made sounds and configurations for a selection of synthesisers, as well as tools to make your own software and hardware presets.

Those hardware presets for Touché are templates that make your experience truly plug-and play with hardware synthesisers from Moog, Dave Smith, Korg, Roland, Nord, Yamaha, Novation, Elektron, Arturia, Waldorf...

For a selection of synths, the hardware presets for Touché are one step further, matching some of their factory presets.

All hardware presets can be saved in Touché's internal memory, in order to use Touché in standalone, without any computer."

Testing implementation of MIDI control on the Moog Prodigy


Published on Apr 11, 2018 Konstantin T

"Recently got my hands on a Moog Prodigy to refurbish for a studio. At the end of calibrating, decided to add a quick MIDI input through a microcontroller and DACs for converting the data to control voltage and patching into the synthesizer. This is a little test improvisation recorded with the Prodigy controlled by MIDI, backed up by the bass performing on the Tokarev Protosynth V1LP synthesizer."
