Techno jam with Moog DFAM and Mother 32

Published on Jun 19, 2018 Honeysmack

"Jamming the DFAM and Mother 32. Everything clocked from the Roland TR-09 and Intellijel Metropolis. Additional drum sounds from the WMD Chimera and TR-09. Single take no edits. Everything running through the Elektron Analog Heat for extra warmth.

Korg DVP-1 Demos by SynthMania

Technologic DVP-1

"Just goofing around a bit in the studio :-D"

Korg DVP-1 quick demo

Published on Jun 19, 2018 SynthMania

"A quick demonstration of the four main modes of the Korg DVP-1 Digital Voice Processor, from the year 1985:
- Pitch Shift
- Vocoder
- Harmonize
- Internal waveforms
MIDI keyboard: Korg Monologue
Microphone: Sennheiser XS 1"

The Prophet X Arrives - Two Demos by Lady Gaia

"First Patch - The very first preset on the Prophet X, 'PX Tease' allowed to sustain before tinkering with sliders and mod wheel"

"Preset #3 'Poly Super' consists solely of filtered oscillators by default, with a noise sample that can be dialed up if desired (not used here)"

This one was spotted and sent in via Soviet Space Child.

Moog DFAM: 7-Step Sequencing

Published on Jun 19, 2018 Kris Lennox

"It is often assumed the DFAM can only run 8-note groupings. But it can do anything less than 8. Patching is simple: run the pitch into tempo. This translates to higher pitches being faster/of a shorter duration. So, if you want to omit a step, set the pitch of that step to max and the DFAM will jump by it :)

I've set the pitch of all other steps to be the same (i.e. null value). Pitch is controlled by VCO1. Given all pitches are relatively the same - even if VCO1 changes pitch - the tempo remains consistent. This is a handy trick, as if you try to determine each pitch, the beat pattern will be all over the place.

I overdubbed with a Matrixbrute solo. Very nice & subtle.

DFAM-only audio over on soundcloud:

Given Moog clearly take their stage setting seriously - and insist on placing quasi-philosophical hipster novels with a subtle political undertone in shot, I decided to go for my own setting.

Kierkegaard and Hegel would smack of elitism, so I went for:

1) Pumice stone (unsued)
2) Guidebook for finding dead bodies in Aokigahara Forest (forest visited, but not for purpose of finding bodies. I actually camped in it for a few days. Good story in itself. And this was before the shit American movie)
3) Play-doh scented cologne (used, unsuccessful. But an amusing product nonetheless)

I think I'm getting into the Moog spirit here.

On a serious note - I'm finishing off a tutorial RE the DFAM. Quite long & the accent will likely challenge most. It'll be ready for upload in a day or so.

Weather was terrible today, hence the pensive music. I think I'm actually in love with my Matrixbrute. I hear it speak to me at night. I remember a while back seeing a movie by US artist Corinne May Botz about a mental German woman who was in love with a building. I think this is me, but with the synth.

Relaxing Rompler-inspired Anime Vibes from Synth & Sundry

Published on Jun 16, 2018 Synth & Sundry

via supporting MATRIXSYNTH Member, Pinwale Sounds:

"I wrote brand new music inspired partly by the sounds of the original Dominion Tank Police soundtrack to go with the futuristic cityscapes of the show. Written on Ableton Live with TAL U No LX, Samples From Mars (DX100 pack) samples and a sampled Puremagnetik drum kit. Part 3 of 3 of a series of original synth-driven AMVs."

Playlist:

1. The Last Days Were The First Days (Dominion Tank Police AMV)

Dominion Tank Police AMV - I wrote brand new music inspired partly by the sounds of the original soundtrack to go with the futuristic cityscapes of the show.
Written on Ableton Live with TAL U No LX, Samples From Mars samples and Ableton Live Suite samples and sounds.

2. Patlabor 2 AMV - From Soft Power To Unjust Peace

A futile exercise in relaxation combining a lethargic dance jam with scenes from Mamoru Oshi's movie Patlabor 2 which, amongst other things, ruminates on the notion that developed countries exist in a state of 'unjust peace'. Set in a near future Tokyo, where computer networks and large machines called "Labors" have lead to unprecedented economic prosperity, a terrorist attack is not all that it seems.

3. The Last Days Were The First Days (Dominion Tank Police AMV)

Dominion Tank Police AMV - I wrote brand new music inspired partly by the sounds of the original soundtrack to go with the futuristic cityscapes of the show.

Synth trick: How mimic a Subharmonicon with Maths by Make Noise

Published on Jun 19, 2018 loopop

"The Moog Subharmonicon is a lovely instrument that unfortunately, as of June 2018, isn't available other than the 100 attendees that built it at the 2018 Moogfest Engineering Workshop.

What's unique about the Subharmonicon is its ability to take a core oscillator and generate sub oscillators at special sub-harmonic frequencies, which can produce harmonically pleasing results. It also has the ability to subdivide a tempo clock and the result is a poly-rhythmic clock that creates interesting patterns, when combined with other sequences clocked at different sub-divisions.

Maths by Make Noise however, is one of the most popular eurorack modules, and it turns out you can mimic the unique oscillator sub-harmonic and tempo subdivisions of the Subharmonicon with it.

The result is that one Maths unit can take a core oscillator generate two additional sub-harmonic oscillators at a broad range of sub-harmonic frequencies. Ditto for tempo subdivisions.

This clip shows you how."
