Moog Subsequent 37 vs Moog Sub Phatty + Linndrum

Published on Sep 26, 2018 synthartist69

"Without spending too much, I did my best to create my favorite Moog sound and then to match both synthesizers. This is not an exact comparison, just the two synths together playing a similar sound. The Sub Phatty has more of a raw sound, a little brighter, less compressed sounding than the Subsequent 37. One way I made up for some of that was by tweaking the eq on the Subsequent 37 by adding a little mid and upper mid range. Not perfect by any means but closer than it would have been. Thanks for watching!"

Keith Fullerton Whitman Live at Control Tuesday, October 2, 7pm - PAID Event

"Live at Control

Keith Fullerton Whitman
Tuesday, October 2, 7pm
$10

PLEASE NOTE: SPACE IS EXTREMELY LIMITED - TICKETS WILL GO FAST.

Control presents Keith Fullerton Whitman for a live quad performance of two pieces, "Redactions" and "Generators."

Keith Fullerton Whitman is a composer, performer, and recording artist currently based in Melbourne, Australia. Active from the early 90's on while working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Music Synthesis at Boston's Berklee College of Music, Keith began exploring electronic music's many facets, eventually yielding dozens of recordings for influential labels such as Kranky, Editions Mego, PAN, Planet µ, Carpark, Room40, Amethyst Sunset, Amish, NNA Tapes, No Fun Productions, Agents of Chaos, Arbor, Digitalis Limited, Ekhein, Heavy Tapes, Rare Youth, Root Strata, and many more.

This evening showcases two pieces, "Redactions" and "Generators," from Whitman's current compositional development, a singular take on "Live Electronic Music" that incorporates an ever-changing, hybrid software & hardware-based system. On the piece titled "Generators," which manifested itself as an album released by Editions Mego in 2012, Whitman explained it was "an attempt to wrest a viable performance-based music out what had until then been a solitary set of sound-design tools. The piece grew out of a frustration with the limitlessness of computer-based real-time synthesis & algorithmic / generative systems vs. their utter failure as performance solutions." Though captured in an album form, "Generators" is largely intended for the live setting. "Redactions" is a more recent performance composition that incorporates thematically & geographically relevant Musique Concrète elements into the modular setup and alongside the framework of "Generators."

The performance will promptly start at 7:15. Once the performance begins no entry will be permitted. Do not be late."

Eurorack Drum Synthesis Plus Free Sample Pack

Published on Sep 26, 2018 Perfect Circuit

"Download our free drum sample pack made with this eurorack modular system here: https://bit.ly/2NED1wd

This video is just a quick overview of analog drum synthesis. Let us know which techniques you would like us to explore in more depth in future videos.

There are two basic parts of drum synthesis explored here, noise drums and pitched drums. noise drums can be shaped with filters VCAs and effects like distortion, or by using unique noise generators. Pitched drums can be modulated by a sharp decay envelope for traditional percussive sounds, and you can add ring or frequency modulation for more complex harmonic drums. More complex drum sounds are made by layering and combining these simple building blocks."

XAOC Devices Zadar *FIRST PATCH* Ambience, Drones & Complex Modulation

Published on Sep 26, 2018 DivKidVideo

"Here's my first patch with the Zadar quad complex envelope from XAOC Devices. It's been an incredibly simple to use unit that delivers some unique shapes and functions over it's complex envelopes. Adding some CV modulation over time, warping, shape etc was all done quickly without any manual reading so building up this first patch was quick and fun. I'm using envelopes here for modulation of tonal parameters on FX, oscillators and level control through VCAs. Full video demo coming soon."

Before Bob's passing, he personally tested and signed a limited number of his Etherwave Theremins and these were called the, "Signature Edition".

Pre-Simmons MUSICAID CLAP TRAP - Rare and Historic Analog Hand Clap Synthesizer SN 411

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"For sale in excellent condition - has a few small dings to the finish and a couple of the knobs. I has lived in my studio for years after living many years in it's previous studio. This is made by Musicaid before Simmons bought them and put their badge on the Clap Trap

115v. AC which is rare, I've only seen a couple others and they were both 240v.

'The original, wildest Clap Trap - there are very few analogue Clap Traps in existence and many are the later Simmons version rather than the first one from Musicaid. Famously-used (and abused) by Throbbing Gristle and The Human League among others...

Sonically it offers a wide range - from huge oceanic crashing waves of noise to rhythmically-challenged helium finger pops (thanks, Ensemble control) - there's also occasional near-realistic electronic claps in amongst the myriad options. This is a very early unit and is pretty wild compared to the later ones - some ear-piercing resonance at higher settings make this a contender for serious techno-abuse.'"

DJ Haus - Against The Clock

Published on Sep 26, 2018 FACTmagazine

Building a track from scratch on eurorack.

"DJ Haus is one of the hardest working people in dance music.

As head of Unknown to the Unknown, he oversees a relentless schedule of releases from artists like DJ Boring, Mall Grab, Deadboy and Kornél Kovács. Alongside that he's been a regular guest on FACT videos over the years, making beats with Willie Burns and finding out how synth master Legowelt makes his tracks.

DJ Haus is also a formidable producer in his own right, so we figured it was time we got him on Against The Clock. He set himself the challenge of making a dancefloor track in 10 minutes using his modular synth – with no cables patched to begin with – and smashed it, frankly.

DJ Haus' forthcoming mixtape compilation DJ Haus Enters The Unknown Vol. 2 will be available in November.

Matrixbrute Sequencer Ratcheting

Published on Sep 25, 2018 Kris Lennox

"Creating a true ratchet on the MB within a 16-step sequence. If the included sequence were a 'fake' ratchet, it would require all 64 steps. Two types of ratchet exist within this sequence, illustrating the principle isn't exclusive to one particular rhythmic subdivision (as is often assumed). Steps 7, 8, and 14 feature quaver ratchets (i.e. 2 per beat); steps 15 and 16 feature semiquaver ratchets (i.e. 4 per beat).

Programming 'x' per beat isn't a problem once the principle is understood. I'll maybe upload a sequence showing unusual ratchets i.e. 5:4, 7:4 etc.

Arturia will likely create this as a feature in future updates. But it can be designed without the need for a firmware update.

'Unfortunately, no-one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.' :))

All best
Kris"
