Arturia Matrixbrute: Tangerine Dream Covers


Published on Sep 5, 2018 wedream2

Playlist:

1. Matrixbrute: Tangerine Dream's "Sorcerer"
11/12 tracks from Tangerine Dream's soundtrack to the movie "Sorcerer" serve as inspiration for showcasing Arturia's Matrixbrute in split mode. Each sequence is accompanied by 2 additional sounds alternately selected by modulating programmed parameters in real time. (Track 9 "Abyss" is skipped as the sequence and sounds are uninteresting compared to other tracks.)
If you are unfamiliar with Tangerine Dream's soundtrack, I recommend listening to the original first. That way you will appreciate the Matrixbrute's emulation, especially since it's a monophonic synthesizer.
2. Matrixbrute: TD sequences from Phraedra to Tangram
Another demonstration of the Matrixbrute in split mode. More excerpts from Tangerine Dream Sequences: Phraedra, Rubycon, Ricochet, Stratosfear, Cloudburst Flight, Force Majeure, and Tangram. All sounds from Matrixbrute in real time. Additional reverb added. The purpose is to show how versatile split mode can be, assigning different oscillators to the sequencer and to the lead, and using real time controls to transform the sound of the lead and sequence.
3. "Mind at Large" Tangerine Dream's Rubycon
Music slide-video interpretation of Tangerine Dream's Rubycon album.The last image (just prior to the receding universe sequence) with the unconscious astronaut lying on the ground is the clue to what the entire project is about, suggested by the title.
4. Matrixbrute: Tangerine Dream--Logos
My fourt video of Matrixbrute in split mode, borrowing sequences from Tangerine Dream. Logos is my #1 favorite TD album. It is a lot more complex than their earlier works, so it was quite a challenge. I recorded each part seperately and then pasted them together. It would take an ensemble of synthesizers to do a decent cover. Still, the monophonic Matrixbrute pulls its own weight.
5. Matrixbrute: Tangerine Dream & Chris Franke
My 5th video demonstrating Matrixbrute in split mode, using excerpts from Tangerine Dream group & solo albums. Sounds on the right side of the split are morphed using MW and expression pedal controls, demonstrating more sounds than are apparent with a monosynth. All sounds are from Matrixbrute, performed and recorded in real time. Avalanche Run reverb and delay added on some excerpts.

JP-8000 emulates Super Jupiter, Juno 60, & OB-8


Published on May 18, 2018 wedream2

This is pretty impressive. Don't miss the comparisons to the OB-8 later in the video and don't miss the follow-up video below.

"JP-8000 demo: emulating sounds of vintage analog synths, some programming tricks, arpeggiator and phrase sequencer. Also a look at an exotic hard wood end panel upgrade."

JP-8000: More vintage synth emulations

Published on Aug 5, 2018 wedream2

"Here is a another sampling of original patches and performances I programmed on the JP-8000. Of the 120 patches and 57 performances programmed, most are emulations of vintage analog synths.
In this part 2, there is no talking. Each sound is identified with a shot of the LCD screen, followed by a demonstration. Some of the patches with "JU60" in the title, are re-creations of the Juno 60 factory sounds. Some of the OB-8 sounds are similarly named. Performances in most cases are named as a conjunction of 2 patches."

And one for the Roland JP-8080:


Published on Mar 25, 2019 wedream2

"Here is a selection of sounds from among the 128 patch programs and 64 performance programs I created for the JP-8080. Building upon my previous work on the JP-8000 (analogue emulations), I've improved many of those sounds and added entirely new ones on the JP-8080. Best heard with headphones, as several sounds oscillate in the stereo field. All programs will be available for download from the Roland JP-8000/8080 Facebook user's group."

Super Jupiter Custom Sounds


Published on Dec 16, 2017 wedream2

Playlist:

1. Super Jupiter custom sound effects
I created a Super Jupiter patch program book, recording the parameters for 192 sounds. This facilitated the synthesis of new sounds, and through repeated tweaking of parameters, helped continually refine them. Each page contains data for 2 tones, and the patch parameters for split, dual, or 2 separate single tones. This video is part one, and showcases 31 sound effects produced in this manner. Best heard with stereo headphones.
2. Super Jupiter Custom Sounds Part 2
Being mainly a synth programmer rather than a keyboard player, I'm not the best person to showcase my own sounds, so pay more attention to the sound itself, rather than my playing. On some sounds I go up and down the keyboard to show the entire range. Occasionally I get inspired and carried away (as on my favorite lead sound "Lyricon." which has an accompanying water video). Toward the end, I provide a page from my patch book (introduced in the first video of this 3 part series) that shows the tone and patch parameter settings for 2 sounds: Keith Emerson's "Lucky Man" and Rick Wakeman Lead. If you have an MKS-80, pause the video and copy the settings and tweak to your taste.
3. Super Jupiter Custom Sounds Part 3
This is part 3 of 3 of MKS-80 custom sounds: Strings, Brass, Pads, & Keyboards. Pads are my favorite synth sound, so I spent a lot of time on these. The "Super Jupiter Pad" is my favorite, and I got carried away playing this one. It has an accompanying video. The pianos took a lot of time, because they are difficult to synthesize into useful, playable sounds. Velocity sensitivity makes all the difference, and is sorely lacking on the Jupiter 8. The MKS-80 is one of my favorite analogue synths.
4. Super Jupiter revisited: More custom Sound Effects
In my 4th Super Jupiter video, I demonstrate 17 new Sound Effects I recently programmed. Many of the sounds employ Xmod and a parameter rarely found on polysynths--adjustable pitch tracking for either VCO. This allows sound design typically only possible with modular synthesizers. New sounds were inspired by actual events, as on my first video (e.g. thunder sounds and babbling brooks, seashore with gulls, and insects). Check out swamp things, raceway, and flyby (propeller plane passing low overhead). In addition, there are numerous sample and hold variations and a few percussion sounds. IMO, as a sound designer, the MKS-80 module is Roland's best analog polysynth.

Structured Improvisation for Analog Monophonic Synthesizer: “Overdubbing Grandmother”


Published on Apr 13, 2019 Samuel William Novak

"A structured improv for Moog Grandmother. I first met Grandmother on Thursday. Needless to say she inspired me to write for her. This piece overdubs successive improvisations, each appearing in the order recorded.

Precomposed materials:
Three preprogrammed sequences played by the initial part, serving as both a textural bedrock and to articulate form,
A gradual increase in tempo,
The general textural roles of the other two voices: one mostly melodic and in a high register to balance the low register of the sequences (I’m most happy with the performance of this part) and one to inject an element of unpredictability to balance the repetition of the sequences.

The rest, including all the modulation and patch manipulation, was left to the moment.

Elektron Digitone Ambient Minijam - Little Divisor/Playful Primes


Published on Apr 13, 2019 Oscillator Sink

"Following on from a previous jam where I was experimenting with using sequences with prime number lengths, I wanted to try something a little more up-tempo using similar ideas, but using smaller sequences so that the overlapping, shifting feeling was more prominent. I was hoping to get something a little Steve Reich-esque using this technique and I at least ended up in the right ball-park.

I also built my sequences with a number of pre-prepared "lock trigs" (the green ones that don't trigger a note to play), which I could switch into note trigs during the performance to alter the patterns in pre-determined ways and bring in new rhythms and harmonies (this is a technique I use on the Arturia sequencers a lot as well)."

Synth Programmer for Prophet VS


Published on Apr 13, 2019 Stereoping

"Demo for another Edition of the Synth Programmer - this time for Sequential Circuits Prophet VS. Some parts of the Prophet VS are a pain to be edited like e.g. the Wave envelope points/rates/levels as well as the modulation slot's switches. The Synth Programmer makes things much easier. The video shows patch selection with automatic data synchronisation, some editing of several parameters incl. the WAVE MIX envelope. Finally some footage demonstrating the much easier access to arpeggiator and the modulation slots using the Programmer."

Clock O'Pawn - Shakmat Modular Midi/CV Clock Generator


Published on Apr 13, 2019 Dziam Bass

"Today we have unboxing movie the Clock O'Pawn module from Shakmat Modular in combination with Quad Trigger Sequence Generator -Four Bricks Rook.
The Clock O'Pawn is a useful device for obtaining a clock that works like a real d'Orchester chef. The transport section allows you to start, stop and reset connected instruments that are synchronized with the intuition and MIDI equipment. If you get tired of the metronomic clock, turn up the swing function, and the maestro will guide you with a nice shuffle!
4 different clock sources: BPM potentiometer, knock frequency, external clock or MIDI input,A reset output that generates a reset trigger slightly before the first clock signal Swing function, controlled by a potentiometer, from bright groovy to triplets, is only part of what this module can do, the rest check on the official website, as well as a demo show that will introduce you to this module.http://www.shakmatmodular.com/index.php"

Demo :: H3000 on Drum Machine (Aphex Riff)


Published on Apr 13, 2019 SOLON Music

"Demo of Eventide H3000 D/SE presets using Roland TR8 + Yamaha Reface CS playing Aphex Twin riff from 'Ageispolis' (Selected Ambient Works 85-92). 10 presets demo'ed:

114 DENSE ROOM
496 MOON TURN TIDES
185 MAJ3RD-MIN3RD+
598 RANDOM GATE
366 1/2SEC GATORVRB
742 SYNTHISH
547 SETTLEDOWN ECHO
275 MY BLOODY VAL
395 HUGE DENSE HALL
596 HUMP-VERB

Chose these presets because they worked well with the riff used and demonstrate a wide variety of the sounds that the unit can produce.

In Richard D James' own words: 'the Eventide H3000 d/se are absolutely mental lush devices, those ones in particular really envelop the sound rather than tack it on, special blessed bits of equipment. 3000 has something amazing though that few things can touch, i mean just the digital filters on it are insane, engineers must have been on fire when they made that thing.' (from the Syrobonkers interview)"

Hawkeye - Chiphead (Stereo SID Acid)


Published on Apr 13, 2019 Hawkeye

"It has been a while - we have moved and i had to do a quick new studio test - using some original MB6582 'acid' basslines created by TK./Thorsten Klose. Many, many thanks! :)

This was done in only about two hours and is not really a full track (thus the new midiphy SEQ v4+ was mostly unused). It is more of a SID stereo bassline audio demo, highly repetitive. I've also added both video takes, i am not sure which one is better or if both are bad, please tell me what you think :).

In this video, most sounds are created by DIY devices:
* MIDIbox MB6582 for a pair of 8580 SIDs in stereo bassline mode
* Mutable Instruments Anushri for the lead
* midiphy LoopA prototype for sequencing
* DIY polivoks stereo VCF to filter the drums

Recorded directly onto a Tascam audiograbber, no DAW was used, only slight audio compression added in post production.

Non-DIY equipment used:
* Vermona DRM 1 for drums
* MFB Dominion I as a secondary bassline synth

Many greets and thanks for listening and watching!
