Depeche Mode - Precious

Depeche Mode - Precious (Official Video) Published on Oct 26, 2009 Depeche Mode

This one goes out to Mike.

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to you
We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you
If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your hearts for two

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Martin Gore To Receive 2019 Moog Innovation Award

"Moog Music is proud to announce Martin Gore as the recipient of the 2019 Moog Innovation Award

Award Will Be Presented Following Martin Gore’s Keynote Conversation During Moogfest, Friday April 26, 2019

Gore joins past honorees Devo, Brian Eno, Suzanne Ciani, and Gary Numan.

Asheville, N.C. [April 23, 2019] - Musical pioneer Martin Gore’s masterful electronic meditations on the human condition have illuminated the connection between transformative sound and pure emotion for decades. A founding member of the band Depeche Mode, Gore’s sensual electronic compositions and introspective lyrics have resonated with faithful audiences around the world and impacted the direction of countless visionary artists from Trent Reznor to Johnny Cash.

Gore’s enduring ability to connect the rawest aspects of the human experience to the dance floor defined an era and perpetually reminds us what it means to be human through the emotional power of electronic sound. For his contributions we are honored to name Martin Gore as the recipient of the 2019 Moog Innovation Award.

Martin will be presented with the award during Moogfest on Friday, April 26 at 3:30 p.m. (ET) at the Carolina Theatre immediately following his keynote conversation with Mute Records founder Daniel Miller, which begins at 2:30 p.m. (ET).

The Moog Innovation Award recognizes artists who have contributed to the exploration of sound in popular music and beyond for the past 50 years, exemplifying the bold, innovative spirit of Bob Moog. Past recipients include visionary artists Gary Numan, Devo, Suzanne Ciani, Brian Eno, Bernie Worrell, synth designers like Herb Deutsch, last year’s recipient Bernie Krause, and Thomas Dolby, who will also be performing and presenting this year.

Quick Tip: Pluck Bass Patch On Moog Subsequent 37 Tutorial

Published on Apr 23, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"Here is a quick tip on how to make a plucky bass sound on a Moog synth.

You will need:
- a 2 oscillator bass synth (in this video we used a Moog Subsequent 37)

The patch:
- Oscillator 1 set to saw waveform
- Oscillator 2 set to square waveform
- Slow PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) from the LFO to oscillator 2
- Oscillator 1, 2, & sub oscillator levels all the way up
- Filter cutoff all the way down
- Filter envelope amount 2/3 to 3/4 up
- Amp and filter envelopes set to no attack or decay and full sustain and some release.

To get a giant plucky bass sound out of a Moog synth try these settings. With the sustain all the way up and release adjustable the gate length of your sequencer will adjust how plucky or long the sound is. Alternatively you could have the sustain at zero and adjust your envelope length with the decay. The steep 24db filter is closed all the way down and then opened by the filter envelope.

To thicken the sound up you can add in a sub oscillator or feedback from the output to the filter input (this is normalized on the Subsequent 37). The sound can be further tweaked by adjusting the octaves and detuning of the two oscillators, the filter envelope amount, and the envelope shapes.

Subsequent 37 available here: https://www.perfectcircuit.com/moog-s...

StepBud AUv3 Midi Step Sequencer - iPad Demo & Tutorial

Streamed live on Apr 14, 2019 The Sound Test Room

"You can get StepBud here at the App Store"

"StepBud is a MIDI Sequencer with Audio Unit AUv3 plugin, Audiobus and Ableton Link.

Add an unlimited number of steps to your sequencer.
Your steps appear with a LED and a fader on top of your screen.
You can change the active mode that your step faders displaying/controlling.
- Set the current note or chord in range of the scale and key you selected with respect the range of the octave you want to focus,
- Set the velocity, rate, gate time, modulation, pitch bend, portamento for each step,
- Try increasing the rate and repeat count your steps if you want to add more flavor.
Below the step faders, you have a master fader where you can control your entire sequencer. It has two modes which you can change from the settings strip on the bottom of the app.
- In copy mode, it assigns its value to each step.
- In shift mode, it shifts up or down each step.

If you want to go off-scale or try some crazy chords on some of your steps, or maybe on all of them, you can go to the Step Editor by double tapping the LED of the step you want to edit.

Casio VL-1 Processed to Modular Patch

Published on Apr 20, 2019 Fahmi M.

"Improv session / live jam used custom sound of VL-1 with VCV Rack.

Info:
The VL-1 was the first instrument of Casio's VL-Tone product line, and is sometimes referred to as the VL-Tone. It combined a calculator, a monophonic synthesizer, and sequencer. Released in June 1979, it was the first commercial digital synthesizer.

It has 29 calculator-button keys (G to B), a three-position octave switch, one programmable and five preset sounds, ten built-in rhythm patterns, an eight-character LCD, a 100-note sequencer, and a multi-function calculator mode. The VL-1 is notable for its kitsch value among electronic musicians due to its cheap construction and its unrealistic, uniquely low-fidelity sounds.

Its sounds were mostly composed of filtered squarewaves with varied pulse-widths. Its piano, violin, flute and guitar timbres were nearly unrecognizable abstractions of real instruments. It also featured a "fantasy" voice, and a programmable synthesizer which provided for choice of both oscillator waveform and ADSR envelope. It had a range of two and a half octaves. (Wikipedia)

VCV Rack now lets you run an entire simulated Eurorack on your computer – or interface with hardware modular. And you can get started without spending a cent, with add-on modules available by the day for free or inexpensively. Ted Pallas has been working with VCV since the beginning, and gives us a complete hands-on guide.

There’s always a reason people fall in love with modular music set-ups. For some, it’s having a consistent, tactile interface. For others, it’s about the way open-ended architectures let the user, rather than a manufacturer, determine the system’s limits. For me, the main attraction to modulars is access to tools that can run free from a rigid musical timeline, but still play a sequence. It means they let me dial in interesting poly-rhythmic parts without stress. (CDM)

Percussa SSP Update 22042019 [Major MIDI Module Improvements; Step Sequencer and Granular Fixes]

via Percussa on Kickstarter

"Hi all

Time for the next update! This will be the last one before we head off to superbooth in the coming weeks.

With this update we’ve covered a variety of requests for the MIDI module as well as simplified the use of the module. This update also comes with 2 presets, new versions of the 8-voice wavetable synth patch demonstrating the changes we made to the MIDI module (see below).

For the download links, visit the forum at https://forum.percussa.com/t/update-22042019-major-midi-module-improvements-step-sequencer-and-granular-fixes/618/2

MIDI Module

* Removed V1-V16 toggles from MIDI Module

* Added CH1-CH16 toggles

* Added CCA-CCH outputs and parameters

* Removed pitch bend data from pitch output

* Added new pitch bend output

In-depth description

It’s now easier to use fader and knob boxes sending MIDI controller data. Previously the MIDI module would only output controllers 74, 7 and 1. With the new CCA-CCH parameters and outputs it’s possible to use 8 MIDI CCs per MIDI module. The P-page can be used to set the controller numbers.

Ensemble 1 with Grackler, Double Knot, Sidrax & Mute Synth

Published on Apr 23, 2019 Robin Rimbaud-Scanner

"A little improvisation in the studio using four inspiring little instruments. Beginning with the Mroztronium Grackler and Dirty Electronics Mute Synth creating abstract noises and textures, followed by a deep pulse from the Lorre Mill Double Knot and playing live on top with the Chat Lonbarde Sidrax. The film is out of synch and I apologise for that but it hopefully captures the mood. A tiny moment in a creative day."

Roland JU-06: 64 VINTAGE SOUNDS: synthwave \ 80's \ vintage style PATCHES

Published on Apr 23, 2019 Alba Ecstasy

"This is the most worked and re-worked sound set I ever made.
I started this pack more than a half year ago, and worked on it in parallel with the Roland JUNO-106 I had it for a while from a friend.
And I tried & succeeded to match the sounds so I can reproduce entirely the character of the original JUNO.
IMHO, the JU-06 is a 99% copy of the JUNO-106. The hardest part is to match the sounds, since the sliders of the JU-06 are shorter and, to find the right spot, it’s a little bit harder.
You can hear in this video, the unaltered sound of the patches. I only automated the volume and then gained it up a little bit in Logic Pro X, so you can have an even audition, without massive drops when the sub bass sounds or the pads are presented.
The pack contains synthwave & 80's analog vintage style patches.

Enjoy it!
