Analog Flange (Matrixbrute: "Air Raid at The End of The World")

Published on Jul 14, 2018 Kris Lennox

"Of course, try loud with cans on. This piece is both an original work and a demo of the analog flange on the MB. I've been sniffing around online, and for some reason the analog effects get a bad rep. I don't know why. If I'm missing something, do let me know. More text below if you're bored and fancy a read:

The sound is absolutely stunning. Something worth noting: it is natural for there occasionally to be some channel distortion when analog effects are driven through a signal to this level. You'll hear it at some points in the track. It isn't an over-maximised master, but part of the original signal. Personally, I don't mind it at all.

The sound itself (i.e. prior to the flange) took a few days to make. For once I actually had to save a sound!

I'm also playing to a rough guide. On the acoustic foam I have a piece of paper with cues RE direction to take the work in. Not a traditional score, of course, but more of a 'roadmap'.

Rarebeasts T2 Autophage

Published on Jun 27, 2018 Rarebeasts

via Etsy:

"The T2 Autophage is an experimental instrument based on a bacteriophage which is a virus that infects bacteria.

The T2 builds a loop of sounds that vary using an equation that determines the number of bacteria that are likely to be infected by multiple phage. The multiplicity of infection variable in this case is determined by a light level. Some of the sounds decay into high frequencies and some into low frequencies but all of the notes eventually decay into silence.

This synth requires USB power from a portable phone charger, wall socket or a computer.
The sound output is via a 3.5mm audio socket.

Stats:
Output: 3.5mm socket (Use with earphones, a computer sound card, mixer or amplifier)
Power: USB (Plug into a computer, phone charger or wall socket). No internal battery.

A History of Synthesizer Polyphony

Published on Jul 14, 2018 AutomaticGainsay

Marc Doty aka Automatic Gainsay presents an exploration of the dynamic innovations in synthesizer history that allowed synthesizers to play more than one note at a time.

Part 1 is an introduction to the series and the concepts that will be explored.
Part 2 is an establishment of the definitions that will be used in regard to certain terms in the history of polyphony.
Part 3 is an exploration of how the Cahill Telharmonium, arguably the first synthesizer, created and employed polyphony.
Part 4 is an exploration of what could have been the first fully-electronic (not electro-mechanical) polyphonic device in 1915.
Part 5 explores the core interface, mechanical, and conceptual issues facing polyphony in regard to how to realize it with a synthesizer.
A History of Polyphony: Part 6- The Warbo Formant Orgel
A History of Polyphony: Part 7- Hammond's "synthesizers!"
A History of Polyphony: Part 8- Paradigm Shift... the RCA Mark II
A History of Polyphony: Part 9- Setting the Stage: the 1960s
A History of Polyphony: Part 10- The Dawn of Modern Polyphony
A History of Polyphony: Part 11- The First Modern Polyphonic- The Polymoog

Braids Synthesis Modules Series - #16 low-fi or hi-fi vowel Synthesis

Published on Jul 14, 2018 Omri Cohen

"I wanted to challenge myself and record every couple of days or so a full composition, using just the Macro Oscillator (Braids) as a sound source, in one specific mode. This is Day 16

Support my work by buying my Music :) - https://omricohencomposer.bandcamp.com

Today I've used 4 Macro Oscillators in lo-fi or hi-fi vowel synthesis mode. The 1st oscillator is receiving voltage from the Seq-Triad 2 to its v/oct input, and to its timbre (a, e, i, o, u) and color (gender) through the Slew Limiter. It's then going through Ferox to Slap, which receives a trigger from the sequencer, and from there to Tangents and to the mixer. The cutoff point of Ferox is being modulated by the envelope output of Slap, and the cutoff point of Tangents is being modulated by Tact. Tact is modulating also the swing amount of CLK1, and it's being triggered by 4 s&h units. The CLK1 is driving the sequencer. The second oscillator is going through Freak to Ritardo, and from there to the mixer, and its timbre and color are being modulated by 2 lfos. The cutoff point of freak is also being modulated by another lfo. The 3rd oscillator is receiving v/oct from Mr Chainkov and is then going through Slap to Ritardo, and from there to the mixer. The cutoff point of Ritardo is being modulated by an lfo, which goes through the Dual Attenuverter. Mr Chainkov is also receiving cv and gate from the sequencer, and it's getting a trigger from a s&h unit, which also triggers its learn and forget inputs. It's then triggering Slap. The 4th oscillator is receiving v/oct from the Grid Sequencer, and its color and timbre are being modulated by an lfo. It's then going through Ritardo to Debriatus, to the mixer, and the GridSeq is receiving a gate from the clock."

Published on Jul 14, 2018 Dziam Bass

"Hi everyone.
I have new video from PICO System 2 from Erica Synths solo.
New yesterday's patch, all sounds only from PICO System 2.
Generally, I love these sounds and possibilities in such small modules - a ''small big beast'' is an excellent name.
when you get samples drums for PICO DRUMS modules and you have VCO plus the second VOICE module, you can do any song from dubstep, house to crazy techno or experimental or just crazy modulations and blips. many possibilities in a very small box. it's up to 14 modules so basically everything you need for great fun and adventure with a modular system.
