Cloud Aquarium

Published on Nov 19, 2018 voltlife

"Deep drones and burbly feedback give an underwater feel to this dark ambient generative patch.

The only sound source is the E352 Cloud Terrarium, in the new detune mode. A Triple Sloth slowly modulates both wavetables, plus the detune for the second output, which is set to octave/4th/5th mode to create shifting intervals. The outputs are mixed into a Verbos Multitap Delay, which runs through a Pittsburgh Filter as a feedback loop. One of the Verbos envelope followers modulates the cutoff of the high pass filter, which gives a quasi-limiting effect as well as shifting tonality. Another Triple Sloth output modulates the filter resonance, pushing it close to self-oscillation for burbles and sci-fi sound fx."

The Son of Flynn from Tron Legacy on the Moog One synthesizer

Published on Nov 19, 2018 Sean Christopher - Evoking Emotion Through Music

"The dynamic duo, Daft Punk, composed 'The Son of Flynn' in 2010 for the movie, Tron Legacy, and it is one of my favorite pieces from that soundtrack. I thought that my new Moog One would be the perfect synth to recreate the piece, and was very happy on how it turned out....and hope that you also think so."

Synth Spotting & Synth Talk Interviews with Jean-Michel Jarre - New EQUINOXE INFINITY Release

Published on Nov 15, 2018 jeanmicheljarre

"Order your copy of EQUINOXE INFINITY here: https://jean-michel-jarre.lnk.to/Equi..."

You can find additional info at http://jeanmicheljarre.com.

"For my new album project EQUINOXE INFINITY I started for the first time with the album cover not the music. I still think that Michael Granger who did the original EQUINOXE cover created one of the best album covers of all time. For the original it was all about the WATCHERs. These strange creatures watching us? Watching Space? Watching machines? Watching a natural phenomenon ? We don’t really know…they are not scary, but odd and mysterious. So I took the original Watchmen of the EQUINOXE cover to continue the story.

I recently discovered the work of Filip Hodas, a super talented young artist, and asked him to create two different artworks in line with my vision for EQUINOXE INFINITY. One cover shows mankind in peace with nature and technology and the other depicts a picture of fear and distortion with machines taking over the world. With the artwork for Oxygene I wanted to draw attention to the poisoned state of planet earth. With these two artworks for EQUINOXE INFINITY I want to bring attention to the two scenarios we are facing today with our love for & our dependance on innovation and technology. The music of EQUINOXE INFINITY is the soundtrack to those two different worlds."

Conductive Labs NDLR Launch Party Demo Performance

Published on Nov 19, 2018 Genshi Media Group

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

This was a demo performance I did for Conductive Labs NDLR launch party on November 18th, 2018. Local folks who contributed to the crowdfunding were able to pick up their NDLRs in person, while others will start seeing theirs in the mail these next coming weeks!

My performance was a bit rough due to the Arturia Keystep not behaving. I was using the Keystep for two things: first, to switch between the "Chords" of the NDLR (same as hitting the buttons on the NDLR) but set so that Velocity would change the number of notes the PAD on the NDLR would play (so a light key press would play about 3 or 4 notes, and a hard key press would play 8 notes of the PAD. Also, the modulation strip on the Keystep was used to change the Octave range of the PAD) - and second, to switch over to play additional sounds direct off the Waldorf Blofeld, while the NDLR was Arpeggiating the first four sounds. Considering I put all of this together a couple of hours before the performance, it didn't turn out too bad."

Sequential In The Spotlight Interview with FJORD

You can find an interview on Sequential's website here.

"The release of Fjord’s debut EP Textures in late 2016 saw coverage in popular music media outlets ranging from FADER to NME, and was heavily championed in their home province of Quebec, Canada as they performed on TV and radio shows alike. This exposure lead to an extensive Canadian Tour and multiple Canadian festival dates along the way. Fjord’s song I Get It Now streamed in the top 50 indie songs in Canada on Apple Music in 2017 and the group was positioned as an “artist to watch” by Apple Music, Spotify and Buzzfeed, as well as multiple critical music media. Textures has now been streamed over 15 million times across platforms and their signature vocals can be heard on Felix Cartal’s Get What You Give record, which has been certified Gold in Canada. Fjord’s sophomore EP, Shallow Waters is scheduled for a Fall/Winter 2018 release. A collection of six songs, the music was written and incubated in Quebec City, before the duo flew to London, UK to refine and reproduce the project with the acclaimed producer Tim Bran (London Grammar, Paul McCartney, Bloc Party). The longing and warmth found in isolation bleeds through every note on Shallow Waters, as the band continues to build on the sound that has made them unique.

We chatted with Fjord about how they’ve been using the Prophet-6"

New Behringer RD-909 (Roland TR-909) Update

This one is in via Soviet Space Child. Some pics and an update from Uli Behringer:

"We like to give you an update on our RD-909 development. We have now entered TMS or Tool Made Sample stage which is one stage before pre-production.

We have now built 10 units for final testing to ensure everything is perfect.

What you cannot see on the current artwork is that we have added even more functionality. One of our engineers came up with a brilliant idea to allow the sequencer also modulate the Analog Filter and Wave Designer.

We still need to ask for your patience as it will still take several more months to ship the product. The guys here are very excited and work hard to speed up as much as possible!

We're still targeting US$ 299 retail (depending on import tariffs).

Michigan Synth Works SY0.5 - Pearl Syncussion Clone in Eurorack

Published on Nov 19, 2018 DivKidVideo

"**TIMING INDEX / SECTIONS BELOW** Here's the new Michigan Synth Works faithful recreation of the classic synth percussion unit the Syncussion from Pearl. Modern equivalents of all the original components are still available so this is very close to the original. Lots of drum sounds on board, I've had some great punchy kicks, longer tom like tones, alien FM cowbell action. To me the unit feels like one big sweet spot, hard to make a bad sound on which can be as rare thing.
