Making a Paper Cup Microphone. Less than $10!


Published on Feb 26, 2019 LeoMakes

This one isn't directly synth related, but LeoMakes is a supporting member of the site, and some of you out there might find this one useful. You can use the mike with your synths and modular. :)

"Yes--it's true! You can make a microphone out of a paper cup, some magnets and some wire. It's definitely not going to replace any of my (or your) studio mics, but it's a fun lo-fi DIY project. Did I mention it was less than $10?

Have you built any microphones of your own? Do you have an experience repairing mics? Please share your wisdom and leave comments on how one might improve on this very basic (and hack-y) design!"

Custom Synthplex Eurorack Modular Drum System


Published on Feb 26, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"Synthplex is happening in Burbank California March 28th-31st 2019. We are going to have a booth there where you can play with this eurorack drum system as well as other synths and gear. There will be lots of eurorack and other manufactuers there with booths as well as performances and workshops. Follow our Instagram @perfect_circuit for a chance to win free tickets.

Synthplex tickets are available here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/synthple...

This system uses the Doepfer A-157 as the core sequencer with a Pittsburgh Lifeforms sequencer for CV sequencing. There are two drum/synth voices from Noise Engineering, the Basimilus Iteritas Alter and Manis Iteritas.

The rest of the system is built around synthesis with two noise generators, SSF Quantum Rainbow 2 and Hexinverter VCNO. For oscillators there are two Make Noise STOs and a Sinc Iter. Filtering comes from an AJH Mini-Moog style ladder filter and Intellijel MS-20 style Morgasmatron. There are six envelopes from Maths and Quadra and a discrete transistor VCA/mixer made by combining multiple XAOC Tallins with a unity mixer. There is also a WMD/SSF DPLR delay effect."

teenage engineering op-1 | wispy beat-driven lo-fi dreampop


Published on Feb 26, 2019 Synth & Sundry

"The OP-1 from teenage engineering is being used to combine an airy radio sample with programmed drums and the dr wave synth engine. Later the master channel is heavily processed with CWO effect as well as the 3-band master EQ.

This little machine rarely stops surprising me. I can't believe that the re-release is happening at a higher price than when it originally came out."

Cs2x Synth Pad & Koto 'I Dream of Tokyo' Song-A-Day & RPM Challenge 25


Published on Feb 26, 2019 ChrisLody

"Song-A-Day & RPM Challenge 25

I spent most of my time tonight crafting this stonking great big pad sound on the Yamaha Cs2x and almost didn't know what to do with it. It ended up turning out nothing like what I was planning when I went in the studio but never mind. So lots of Cs2x synth pad action and it XG (extended general midi) Koto sound which I think sound quite nice in the mix. Apologies for the slightly blurry crossfades, I managed to knock the camera between tracks."

A DARK PLOT OF LAND Irrational Agent / Ghost Events


Published on Feb 26, 2019 Outsider Sound Design

"Modern experimental music from “a dark plot of land".

Irrational Agent: Ghost Events was recorded live on 2-25-2019 using a modular synthesizer focusing on 3 granular samplers controlled by random modules and chance events.

The Irrational Agent operates a system of circumstances in which the belief and will of the performer/machine/spirit world determine the probability of the results or “ghost events”.

The Irrational Agent works within degrees of belief that certain outcomes are predestined to emerge.

This 35:15 performance is also available to purchase as a 48k sample rate, 24 bit wav file download at https://outsidersounddesign.com/colle...

SEQUENCING 2x Toraiz AS-1


Published on Feb 26, 2019 Alba Ecstasy

"Maybe you are interested to hear how two #ToraizAS1 would fit together in a track, both being sequenced.
On the Toraiz that plays bass, I run a 120BPM sequence. On the other one, a #sequence is playing at 60BPM. No connectivity between them, both are manually synced (and this can be heard a little bit later where they become little out of sync)(and this also shows that at different tempos (even I used a ratio of the tempo), two different Toraiz are...different!).
BTW: both Toraiz are siblings, having consecutive serial numbers: my friend bought it first, last year, mine I bought it a few days ago!
Effects: Boss DD7, Boss RV-6, Neunaber Slate (a little reverb for the bass line)."

SUPERBOOTH19 – Berlin 09. - 11. May


SUPERBOOTH19 – Berlin 09. - 11. May from HerrSchneider on Vimeo.

"SUPERBOOTH19 is the biggest trade fair for electronic musical instruments. 250 exhibitors, 30+ concerts each day, workshops and DIY.

Tickets now on sale at superbooth.com
__________

SchneidersLaden presents SUPERBOOTH19"

"Besides the 250 exhibitors from all over the world, SUPERBOOTH19 offers more than 30 concerts and workshops every day. International artists from all genres of electronic music will be present in the three-day program accompanying the trade fair.

Daniel Miller (Mute Records) will play the full version of his modular live set, Robert Lippok (Raster-Media) will be there, as will Scottish musician and instrument maker Ken Macbeth together with T.Raumschmiere (Shitkatapult). Caterina Barbieri plays a Gesprächskonzert for Frap Tools. Christian Vogel, Barbara Morgenstern, Lucid Grain, CYRK, Kebu, Kypski, Tilted Circle, POND – the keyboard electronics classic of the GDR – and more will be playing on the many stages at SUPERBOOTH19. The winners of Ick mach Welle, a music project that enables people with disabilities to play electronic music, are also represented in the program of SUPERBOOTH19.

Educational Saturday
Saturday at SUPERBOOTH19 will be dedicated to education and thus reflects the tradition of the event space FEZ Berlin. The workshops on Modular Synthesizers and DIY offered especially for pupils and students make Saturday particularly attractive for young people. That applies in particular, because of the special pricing for educational institutions, which can apply for strongly discounted ticket contingents. But also for all other guests there are different educational opportunities in the program on all days of the event.

Although the event offers a daily program until 11 pm, there are still several official aftershow-events to celebrate the rest of the night. The C-Base as a publicly accessible and official venue is complemented by three company events in the OHM-Club – for both locations there is currently a program with a lot of live music in the making. C-Base and OHM can be reached very comfortably with the regular boat shuttle.

Boat-trip to SUPERBOOTH19
The free shuttle service runs several times a day between FEZ and Mitte and ensures a relaxed journey to SUPERBOOTH19 and also back to Mitte. This is a great opportunity to make new contacts, talk shop or enjoy the unusual perspective of Berlin.

Visitors with a trade visitor ticket can enter the fair at 10 am. All other guests can buy full-day tickets, which are valid from 1 pm to midnight and will give you access to the C-Base for the after-show events. If you only want to see the evening program, you can buy tickets from March onwards which allow admission from 6 pm. Children and young people up to the age of 16 can attend the event free of charge."
