Controlling REAL Drums with Arcade Buttons (Live)


Published on Feb 6, 2019 GLASYS

"Pre-order my album: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

In this video, I control an acoustic drum kit through my Arcadia controller using 4 Polyend Perc drumming machines. Every sound you hear is performed live simultaneously, no overdubs or sequences.

The tune is a new original called 'Acceptance'. It'll also be my 2019 Tiny Desk contest submission.

Gear used: Sequential Prophet XL, Studio Electronics Boomstar 4075, Polyend Perc, Arcadia keyboard (custom built by Moldover).

Video by John Thompson (Ballooga Media).
Recorded at 'Dead Aunt Thelma's Studio' in Portland Oregon, engineered by Sacha Muller.
Mastered by Dana White at Specialized Mastering.

Sequential Circuits Prophet VS Vintage Vector Synthesizer


Published on Feb 7, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"The Prophet VS was one of the most peculiar Sequential Circuits designs: to learn more about it, check out our overview here: https://www.perfectcircuit.com/articl.... As the first synthesizer that implemented Vector Synthesis, it is capable of sounds very much unlike the analog and traditional wavetable synthesizers of the era—intense arpeggiations, patch randomization, and complex envelopes surround a synthesis engine based on mapping timbre as a two-dimensional space.

Sonica by Frank Evantoff - #388 of 650 - 1979 Walnut Finish, Brass Face & Hardware

via this auction

"I inherited this Extremely Rare (#388 of Only 650 Ever Made) Instrument and it is still in incredible condition despite being roughly 40 years old. The Wood Body is in amazing shape, the brass Face, Back, and Plate on the backside of the Scroll (reads #388) are still shiny and lustrous. It still plays incredibly well and comes with the Original Black Case and Authenticated Paperwork / Warranty Documents. Every Feature that it was designed to include still works wonderfully and despite a small area of wear on the Blue Foam Speaker material, you'd think it was kept in a time capsule since released in '79. Models that have sold over the last few years, that have higher Model #'s and are in not as good of condition, have sold for between $1,200 and nearly $4,000. Everything operates well..."

Folktek Omnichord (No Talking, Explanation in the Description)


Published on Feb 7, 2019 Stefano Bertoli

"First session with Omnichord modified by Folktek, alone with a simple reverb from MR12.
I play the different instrument rows, there are four, one by one, with and without the modifiers: copper tongues placed right below the omnichord
chords section, that deeply influence the sound of each instrument.

00:00 First row (lowest one): a sweet organ like instrument capable of deep lows and flute-like highs

02:24 Second row (right above the Omnichord chord section): a "vibrato" synth voice deeply influenced by both modifiers and by rhythm
tempo knob as you can hear at 04:01

04:32 Third row: the first half (left side) is a rhythm composer, more keys you press more complex you add to the rythm. Second
half (right side) is a sort of bass sound generator.

06:33 Fourth row: an harmonium generator, breathy and nasal as it is supposed to be.

08:31 Of course it still does work like an original Omnichord"

Morgasmatron Drum Filtering


Published on Feb 7, 2019 Intellijel

"A drum loop playing on Ableton live is fed into the Mormastmatron VCF. The uMidi is also synced to the DAW and provides a divided clock pulse that drives Steppy and advances through a simple 4-note sequence on Scales. This sequence pitch controls the cutoff frequency of the right channel of Morgasmatron to get a melody when it is fully resonating. When you back off the Q you are left with resonance 'trails'.
The left side of Morgasmatron is in BP mode and has distortion engaged for a gnarly sound.
The full filter tone is blended with the dry original loop with a Mixup module.

Just a quick play with some dirty beats.

With its distortion and dual multimode crossfading filters, Morgasmatron provides some great options for filtering drums.

By setting the Q just below self resonance, the input signal can excite the filter to resonate in time to the groove."

Song-A-Day & #RPM Challenge 7 - Disco Funk with Yamaha Cs2x and Roland CR1000


Published on Feb 7, 2019 ChrisLody

"Song-A-Day & #RPM Challenge 7

Today is a funky Thursday, and with that in mind here is some nice funky stuff from the Yamaha Cs2x and Roland CR1000 drum machine. The main beat is supplied by the CR1000 and bell tree, bass, pad and electric piano are all from the Cs2x recorded on tape. I decided to record the bass on camera and add other elements afterwards because I thought it'd be the most interesting to watch but I missed the LED VU meter of the Fostex XR3 so decided to overlay that from the full recording for that extra disco flavour :D"

The Matter II was sequenced by a synced XAOC Batumi (LFO) into Doepfer A-166 (Logic) and a Befaco Muxlicer (CV-Seq/Switch). That's all..

"Great condition, very limited edition, no longer made.

The Roland DriftBox-R Limited is an updated version of the original Reon DriftBox in AIRA green livery. Originally commissioned by Roland to demonstrate the the SBX-1 Sync Box, the DriftBox-R Limited is a cool analog synth module in its own right. You get two oscillators, a great-sounding filter, and an envelope generator, as well as CV/gate I/O that turns this little tabletop unit semi-modular. You can use it by itself and trigger its envelope with the onboard momentary button - or combine it with other hardware and the possibilities are endless. Paired with a CV-equipped keyboard or sequencer, it's a great source for soaring leads and massive bass lines.


Updated version of the original Reon DriftBox
A wide range of functions in a small desktop box
Two VCOs, a great-sounding filter, and an envelope generator
CV/gate I/O for semi-modular flexibility

Combine it with other hardware for endless possibilities"
