STAR WARS Lightsaber AMSR // Soma Labs Lyra 8 Drone Synth Demo

Published on Jul 31, 2019 Ron Cavagnaro

"Programming and Improvisation by Ron Cavagnaro. All of the sound you hear is 100% from the standalone unit. Since this is improvised, a few parts might not sound exactly like lightsabers , but watch as I mold them into the sound eventually.

ASMR signifies the subjective experience of 'low-grade euphoria' characterized by 'a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin'."

Polynorth - a hybrid analog/digital polyphonic synthesizer

Published on Jul 31, 2019 Jon Petter Skagmo

via skagmo.com

"The Polynorth is my first attempt at designing a polyphonic synthesizer. It's got a completely analog filter section, combined with a powerful 200 MHz 32-bit microcontroller.

I've always wanted to build an analog polyphonic synthesizer, but they often end up being very large and complex because the size of the electronics pretty much scales linearly with the number of voices.

In many ways I think the filters are the hardest part of a digital synthesizer to get to "sound analog", so I figured out a good compromise would be to keep the filters analog and do all the rest with a microcontroller. The mostly digital architecture also has some important benefits:

- Flexible internal signal routing like a modular synth, but without a ton of patch leads
- More advanced modulation options (FM)
- Patch store/recall (including the routing)
- Much smaller size

I stumbled upon the SSI2144 filter, which is a modern remake of the classic SSM2044. It's very similar in many ways, but in a much more compact package and with better dynamic range, so a 6 voice synth could be made pretty compact. This is what kicked off the project.

The system architecture is explained in this block schematic."

Shasta Cults - Configurations - Buchla 700 Release

Shasta Cults - Configurations - Available Sept 13, 2019 Published on Jul 30, 2019

"pre-orders available now via: imprec.com

A ship sinks beneath the silver mirror of the sea-top, temple gongs ring through an empty valley, industrial machinery sputters, heaves, lurches forward, stops, falls apart… These sound events may be the most acute musical referents of Shasta Cults, the music project of Canadian synthesizer technician Richard Smith. Using obsolete electronics, Shasta Cults pursues the true sound of the instrument, freed from the tyranny of emulation, no strings/woodwinds/piano presets. Shasta Cults' compositions seek out unchartered territories where sustained drones may swell, build, or evaporate; where timbres collide, amplitudes fluctuate, sounds emerge, raw, primeval, new hybrids form from the collisions of electricity and frequency. There may be stretches of silence punctuated by bell-ish tones from futures unheard; a sequence of notes may verge upon melody before mutating into ugly moans, the sonic equivalent of funhouse mirrors. But the end result is far more than chance operation, sporadic sound fields, or indeterminate academic exercise. Instead, Shasta Cults brings us back to nature, back to the possibilities inherent in nature, to the truth of evolution, stitching both musical tones, and the sounds of 21st century living into a form which is as real, as imponderable, and as ungovernable as our own memories.

Recorded in 2017, employing the processes of non-linear waveshaping, frequency modulation and feedback, Configurations consists of eight programs captured live to multitrack using a rare, fully functional Buchla 700 digital-hybrid instrument designed in the late 1980s. Whereas previously released works made with the 700 almost always consist in simple manipulations of the single factory preset, this album delves deep into the instrument's rich sonic vocabulary to offer the listener a more elaborate demonstration of the system's capabilities.

Presented here in limited quantities this release is intended as a high fidelity audio archive of this obscure musical artifact."

Eventide Ultratap iOS & Waldorf Blofeld

Published on Jul 31, 2019 Todd Smith Music

"Exploring the Eventide Ultratap I just picked up last weekend. This video explores various Waldorf Blofeld preset patches with slightly manipulated default setting on Eventide Ultratap iOS.

Eventide Ultratap iOS makes my second Eventide effect and I'll be picking up the Micropitch very soon.

The Waldorf Blofeld already sounds amazing but adding high end external effects just makes it a blast to explore. I hope you enjoy the sounds."

Pocket Operator PO-12 Rhythm mini sesión en vivo - Mini live session

Published on Jul 31, 2019 Andrés González

"Hola! Hace mucho tenía ganas de subir esto, resultado de mi período de aprendizaje con el PO-12 Rhythm. Lo que hice fue armar 4 beats temáticos separados en 4 patrones cada uno y en medida en que voy cambiando los patrones pues, jugar con los efectos. Todo lo que suena sale del PO-12, sin arreglos posteriores. Una maravilla de máquina. Ojalá les guste :D

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi! I wanted to upload this from long ago. This is the result of my learning period with the PO-12 Rhythm. What I did was to make 4 separated beats with 4 patterns each, and then while I'm changing the pattern, well, apply the onboard effects over them. Everything you hear comes from the PO-12, without any external arrangement. I love this machine!. I hope you enjoy it :D"

Here we have captured some chords that we are sending from the Keystep to both SKULPT (pads) & CRAFTsynth 2.0 (arp).

This shows how, with very little input, you can get a lot working quickly in return. We have added some drums and a little reverb (thanks to a lovely Eventide Orville) to gel everything together."
