Elektron machines meet Vermona Perfourmer and OB-6

Published on Oct 29, 2016 Andromeda Music

"One take recorded into Ableton

Octatrack is Master with Rytm, Perfourmer & OB-6 slaved.
Transmitting clock via iConnectMidi4+ and recorded as Audio tracks into Ableton Live.

Octatrack was used to sequence the basic OB-6 and Vermona patterns - both are a beast to use and immense fun!

Small hint of 1176 UAD compressor on the Master post. Track is available at www.soundcloud.com/nikarga

Thank you for watching"

Cirklon Jam: AJH Synth, Oberheim Two Voice, Tempest

Published on Nov 5, 2017 Andromeda Music

"A quick test drive of my newly acquired Cirklon... A simple 1 bar loop with a fair amount of wiggling :)
Setup:

- AJH Minimod System with Dual LFO's and DH-ADSRs
- Oberheim Two Voice Pro
- Make Noise B&G Shared System
- DSI Tempest
- Eventide H9 effects pedal with Blackhole Reverb...

Recorded in 1 pass with no additional effects other than a touch of reverb on the Tempest.

I hope you enjoy the sounds.."

Moog Matriarch Ambient - First Contact

"What can I say? This machine is insane! It was love at first touch!
All sounds are from The Matriarch. No other FX. The analog delay is UNREAL!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it."

Analogue Jam (GRP Cirklon Voyager)

GRP A4 Noodle Published on Aug 16, 2019 Andromeda Music

"A quick noodle on the GRP A4 Synthesizer… It is a wonderful instrument that can be used completely stand alone. The sound is definitely “modern” analog and quite precise.

But it can get real mean as it’s easy to overdrive the dual filters. If that’s not enough, there are also separate distortion circuits for each should you wish to engage them. 3 VCOs, S&H, 2 LFO's, Auto Pan, Sequencer, Ring Mod, Noise, 2 Filters, Midi, CV.. its pretty awesome.

No post processing.. recorded the stereo out directly into Ableton. The only addition is the Eventide H9 pedal providing some nice delay and the Octatrack playing a simple beat in the background.

I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed playing it. :)"

Hugo R.A. Paris - Orb of Truth

Published on Dec 6, 2019 Hugo R.A. Paris

A new release from supporting member, Lavender. You can find an article on the release here.

"Orb of Truth is the first single from Hugo R.A. Paris’s latest LP, Threaded Habitat (one sheet), which came out Aug 2nd on Jacktone Records (Berlin / Detroit - Fact top 10 Labels of 2018) and Beacon Sound (Portland, OR - Terry Riley, Colleen, Benoit Pioulard,...). This first video comes out in response to the album’s praise (XLR8R, Fact, Resident advisor), as Hugo closes the first leg of his tour for the Fall-Winter.

The video for Orb of Truth was shot in New Zealand by native artist, and now Portlander, Sam Hamilton. Entirely shot on film, grainy with minimal processing and edits, it echoes Hugo’s physical and immediate approach Sound.

In the video, individuals of various age / gender generate reflections by means of a mirror, metaphor for the Orb of Truth. The reflected images offer different representations of their surroundings in contrast with their immediate environment, and illustrate subjectivity in the constant friction between mankind and the space it occupies.

The support tour for Threaded Habitat is staged to resume early Spring in an engaging audio visual experience involving a vibrant mix of modular synthesizers, keyboards and percussions. Updated tour schedule can be found on www.hugoparismusic.com

Threaded Habitat Fall / Winter tour schedule
8/2 - Salem, OR

Friday Fun - Refaces From Hamamatsu

Published on Dec 6, 2019 sonicstate

"Another session from our recent trip to Yamaha HQ in Hamamatsu in Japan. We shot this with Tori Letzler - who's also recently appeared as a guest on Sonic TALK and was one of the Yamaha artists featured during their 45 years of Making Synths celebrations.

Tori , who'd not played with the Refaces prior to this was game for a short improv session. Using the Reface CS, Reface CP and Reface DX.

The results were dark and dystopian."

Another one spotted and sent in via M Me.

Translated from the listing:

"The case was once planned for a RE 303 .... unfortunately I'm no longer there

The 303/606 case comes from a 606 - so no 3D printing and no TT303 housing.
I painted the part white - the new owner can still paint it.
The case is complete with battery flap and screws.

There is also an Aluminum Button Panel (purchased bought outside RE303 shop) for a TB / RE 303 and a TB 303 foil [ decal ]"

Never seen one of these before. Interesting that the Mirage is even capable of input via the cartridge slot. Found a pic of the inside of one here. Apparently the ISF-1 increases the Mirage sample rate to 50K and contains a 150db/octave roll off filter.

Virtual vs Original: Arturia Synthi V and EMS Synthi AKS

"A little approach to comparing different aspects of a digital clone to the rare vintage original. Sorry for the Sound at the last minutes. Of course much more work could be put into this which might be worth it, to overcome pure ideologies and 'opinions' with objectivity, reliability, validity. Transferable to clonewars out there."

Programmable #Arduino Synthesizer Watch

Published on Dec 6, 2019 element14 presents

A Buchla for your wrist. Almost gave this one the Synth Rorschach label, but it is a synth after all... Definitely Synth Bling though.

"In 2016 Clem built a very annoying synthesizer in the form of a wristwatch. After showing it around at various Maker Faires it broke, so he decided to rebuild it better louder and more annoying than ever before! It is user-programmable thanks to the Arduino MKR and a haptic interface with satisfying sliders! Download the files for free and make one yourself: http://bit.ly/2DMIKIU"

ETHER V2 (by SOMA laboratory)

ETHER V2 (by SOMA laboratory) DEMO Published on Dec 6, 2019 Vlad Kreimer

"Demo of the second version of ETHER by SOMA laboratory.

The artist: Ekaterina Khmelevskaya"

"ETHER is a kind of anti-radio. Instead of being tuned to a specific radio station, it receives all the interference and radiation that a traditional radio tries to eliminate in order to create a clean signal. It captures the radio waves “as is” from hertz to gigahertz because it doesn’t contain the tuned input circuit that filters out all frequencies except the narrow band of a specific station. This allows ETHER to perceive the invisible electromagnetic landscape that humans created unintentionally, making possible live electromagnetic field listening and recording."
