Dave Smith Instruments In The Spotlight With the OB-6 and Holly Jamieson of MONOWHALES

You can find the full interview on DSI's website here.

"Holly Jamieson has been an active member of the Toronto Indie Rock scene since her work with Wide Eyed Tour Guide back in 2010. A self-taught piano-player-turned-synth-player, Holly has quite a varied musical background, ranging from classical violin to a Bachelor of Music in Voice. Yet despite her training in multiple disciplines, nothing grabbed Holly as much as working with synthesizers. In 2012 she joined MONOWHALES (formerly Ginger Ale & The Monowhales) as the synth player and backup vocalist. In 2016, MONOWHALES garnered attention when the music video for their single Home went viral, receiving over a million views. Holly and the band followed this up with the single Take It Back, which climbed to number 25 on the Canadian Alternative Rock Chart. Their most recent EP Control Freak is where Holly expands her approach to include synth bass, which is featured on most tracks on the EP. Holly has always loved performing with MONOWHALES and has performed alongside bands such as Matt & Kim, The Beaches, The Pack AD, and Coleman Hell. Holly’s most recent personal project has involved combining her love of synthesis with an interest in 3D printing. This has led her to study engineering, synth design, and 3D design."

Knobcon Guest of Honor Announced & Discount Tickets

via Knobcon news where you can find discount tickets.

"We are pleased to announce our guest of honor for this year is Gil Trythall.

Gil TrythallGil was responsible for one of the most unique contributions of the Moog records craze of the late 1960s. His Switched-On Nashville album is singular among Moog-driven pop records due to both its country and bluegrass source material and the total focus on the Moog synthesiser itself, in contrast with its contemporaries’ method of combining the system with traditional session instrumentalists. But he didn’t stop there. His textbook, Principles and Practice of Electronic Music, is one of the few books that elegantly bridges the worlds of tape music and voltage control synthesis.

Join us Saturday Evening for our annual Golden Knob banquet featuring our esteemed guest of honor Gil Trythall. Enjoy live music by the Knobcon Supper Club All Stars featuring Ed & Judy Howard and Cory Flanigan.

The $50 admission is an add-on to your Knobcon ticket and includes a catered buffet with vegetarian options, and each ticket is an entry into the door prize drawings."

Update via Suit & Tie Guy in the comments:

"Here's a great track from Switched-On Country (Nashville Gold). It's a cover of 'Folsom Prison Blues' which also happens to be the earliest known recording of Moog through a talkbox. I'll leave the details to his appearance at Knobcon!:"

Up From Down: Electronic Feedback Explorations - on the Elby Designs' EuroSerge

"I was asked to compose/perform a modular synthesizer piece for a 50th-year celebration of the film 2001 a Space Oddessy to take place in Santa Cruz CA. It was a sound representation of astronaut Dave Bowman piloting a shuttle through the Stargate to Jupiter. It was done by controlling feedback through an analog modular synthesizer. It is intended to evoke the nearly out of control energy involved in space flight. These are nine related feedback explorations developed in preparation.

Blade Runner Blues lead demo

Published on Aug 13, 2018 Paul Schilling

"demo of the patch I created for Arturia's CS-80V.

The Blade Runner Blues lead / harmonica patch is one of the most expressive patches Vangelis ever did on the CS-80. Among other things it features sensitive and fine-tuned velocity and aftertouch response, with quite different settings for each of the two synth lines. Since it is not directly derived from the CS-80's preset buttons, as many of his other go-to patches were, and especially because it has so many expressive nuances, it is not a straightforward patch to recreate.

After many hours of fine-tuning every possible parameter on the CS-80V3 and much A/B comparison, this is the closest I have gotten. The pad background was created with the Roland VP-03 strings to emulate Vangelis' gorgeous VP330, and some Rhodes flourishes were added."

Repro-5 is the big brother of our monophonic Repro-1, and they are bundled together as 'Repro'. With a similar design and sonic DNA, they have a lot in common. While retaining the authentic analogue sound, Repro-5 introduces several new flavours, most notably 8-voice polyphony: Perfect for lush chords or massive unison leads!"

Roland D-05 & an old D-50 patch revisited

Published on Aug 13, 2018 DreamsOfWires

"This won't be of interest to everyone, musically or otherwise, and I tend not to go into personal details in my video descriptions, but for this one I'll make an exception: In 2011 I owned an original D-50 for a while, and some of the patches I created for it are among my earliest videos on this channel. I'd not long discovered that my father, who I lived with, had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. He was only 60. It was the night before what I knew would be his final birthday and I had a blank birthday card in front of me. I thought 'what can I possibly write to a dying man?' I was too distraught to write anything. Then, for whatever reason, I switched on the D-50 and tinkered around on a patch I'd just created for it. I found the result comforting somehow, so I recorded it right there. I then uploaded a video containing that recording shortly after, and it's remained on my channel ever since.

It's quite unremarkable as a piece of music, and I never told the story behind it to anyone until now, but it's of personal value to me, and this channel has become much more personal to me since that time, both in the music I make for it, and because of the words of support and encouragement I've received on here over the last few years, so I feel able to share it. From innocent beginnings this channel has gradually become much more than I'd imagined it would.

When the D-05 was released I immediately thought of my old D-50 patches, which I'd backed up to a sysex file, and wanted to revisit them, along with this recording. I used the D-50 Librarian app on a PC back in the day, which also works with the D-05 and allowed me to upload these old patches to it. I'll make some more videos with the instrument soon I expect.

Location video is of Long Beach, CA and some other beach/pier south of LA.
Recorded into AUM on an iPad. No external effects, just pure D-05."

I have a new movie showing AE Modular from tangible waves a small cheap modular system with a very interesting Raumzeitmaschine tube reverb from Tegeler Audio Manufaktur

Tube Reverb is also honey for the ears and developed by the German company Tegeler shows the high level of this equipment that is able to raise the sound a lot to enjoy our ear with the sound of a tube.

In this edition we have ensured greater focus on
the use of modular instruments in creating the
music. The continuing journey to uncover more remarkable practitioners has so far involved rocking up a modular meets, countless hours of trawling the web and, social media platforms as well as following up all those priceless recommendations.

"I don't have any TB303 in the studio anymore since a loooong time, but the VCFQ filter is not only very good when pingged, it's also a very cool filter.

Here I'm switching between the VCFQ on the Paperface system and the VCFQ on the STS system. Audible differences between the 2. Mostly Q (the resonance) is more drastic on the STS one."
