Chainsaw Symphony - Acid Rain Chainsaw meets Instruō Harmonaig

Published on Dec 12, 2019 Precarious333 Music

"Wow, a match made in heaven. Never thought I'd get such beautiful harmonies so easily on modular. Just received Acid Rain Technology Chainsaw today. This is the first patch. Chainsaw is an amazingly powerful 4hp module capable of producing 3 voices of 7 detuned waves. I'm already in love with this thing. Coupled with Harmonaig, which produces chords, and I'm in heaven.

Recorded as a stereo track into Ableton. EQ to tame the lows and a little compression.

Signal path is three pitch CVs from Harmonaig into Chainsaw. Chainsaw stereo out into two VCAs of Erogenous Tones VC8 controlled by envelopes from Erogenous Tones RADAR, stereo signal into Qu-Bit Electronix Prism (as a stereo filter with no resonance) opened by another RADAR ENV, into Endorphin.es Milky Way's creamy big reverb. Very simple patch."

THESE AIN'T NO REMIXES - FRESH MUSIC Chop Shop 1119 Mix - itijik Pro Club

Published on Dec 12, 2019 itijik

New from supporting member, itijik.

"These ain't no remixes. This is real music production from scratch! From sound design to mixing and mastering in one month! Do you have the Chops?

the itijik Pro Club has a monthly challenge called the Chop Shop. Our samples and audio are added into a limited pool, then everyone has one month to strictly use these samples to create their 'Chops'. On the first of each month we submit them for the club to hear and give feedback. Each month I post the resulting mix video of the fresh music we're making. Like this one!
It's all about regular practice and elevating your production, and a little bit of showing off your chops!

If you enjoy the music and presentation, please pledge your support on the Pro Club page.
But if you're a music maker and wanna be part of this, you should join today!
PRO CLUB: https://Patreon.com/itijik

To Club Members!
Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us!
Great work you guys, on the samples and the chops. Damn, some impressive results for sure. To another month and another year! I have a feeling this one's gonna be BIG ;)

Here's the Chops submitted for November, 1119:

Novation Peak

via this auction

"The Peak is a super powerful 8 voice hybrid poly synth. The oscillators are digital and the filters and VCAs are analog. This is a classic combination as the analog components following the oscillators will add some body and richness to the sound. The oscillators are now full wavetable and the envelopes can cycle for some exciting modulation possibilities. Finally, there are built in effects to round it all out."

Intellijel Tête — Walkthrough / Design / Q+A

Published on Dec 12, 2019 Intellijel

"The Intellijel hackers are taking over the channel for a 90 minute livestream, going deep into the Tête.
Complete with Live Q+A and Audio Demos.

—

Tête is the long awaited and highly anticipated expander for the Tetrapad. Tête takes control of Tetrapad’s mode selection and operating functions, allowing Tetrapad to do what it does best — act as a control surface, which it does both for controlling external modules and for interfacing with the advanced processing power within Tête.

Tête + Tetrapad operates in one of three different modes—

Voltages
Up to 16 voltage storage locations (grid) with 8 voltages stored at each location. You have the choice to record and playback your recall of these locations in a looper style (just play freely and spend arbitrary amount of time at any location) or as a clocked sequence (SH-101 style). Additionally you can traverse the matrix using the X and Y CV inputs to get Cartesian style sequencing. There is also variable slew that allows you to morph/glide between the values.

Notes
You can create sequences or loops in chord, scales or keyboard mode. The isomorphic keyboard grid can be set to 4, 12, or 16 notes. There are real-time performance looping, transposition and inversion capabilities via the CV inputs and dedicated loop button. In sequencer mode each step can be a tie, rest, or gate with size 25/50/75%. Basically we have created a way to very quickly and intuitively make chord sequences that are very musical and easy to manipulate. It is difficult to summarize in words but we will be sure to create some videos to demonstrate how easy and fun this is to play with. It definitely represents something unique in the landscape of Eurorack sequencers.

Combo
In this mode you can loop record your performance on any combination of the following functions: fader, bipolar fader, crossfader, euclidean sequencer, toggle switches or LFO. Kind of like Elektron style parameter locking but all of the motions is recorded continuously instead of just in slices. Instantly turn a simple patch into a highly animated and complex beast. The chosen function determines the type of signal (CV, note, trigger, gate, etc.) sent from each of Tetrapad’s eight independent outputs, while its multitude of multi-colored LEDs keep you informed of exactly what’s happening within each mode."

Ambient poly synth jam with the NDLR, Deckard's Dream, OB-6, Peak, Dreadbox Abyss, Polymoon, Big Sky

Published on Dec 12, 2019 Jay Hosking

"A live, semi-improvised performance, all on hardware, and inspired by winter looming. I've long wanted to make a couple of videos about how the sequencer really determines where the music goes, and I thought there was no better example of this than the NDLR, which is such a beautiful little inspiration device. In my opinion, I think the NDLR thrives at making interesting ambient explorations, and I hope I've demonstrated that here.

I've also wanted to make a "poly synth jam" and show each of the poly synths I currrently have next to each other. Some really interesting things revealed themselves here: 1) the Peak is the clear winner for bass; 2) I like the OB-6 a lot better for plucks or shorter decays than I do for pads; 3) the Abyss holds its own among these bigger names and is a real gem with lots of personality; 4) the Deckard's Dream isn't particularly rich or versatile, but adds the most beauty to the track, and it's a joy to make a patch from scratch.

Conductive Labs NDLR — Sequencing
Black Corporation Deckard's Dream + Meris Polymoon — Pad
Sequential/Oberheim OB-6 — Motif 1 (brighter arp)
Dreadbox Abyss + Strymon Big Sky — Motif 2 (mellower arp)
Novation Peak — Drone (bass monster)

Written and performed within a 24-hour period, and uploaded as is, with only a little compression/limiting on the master.

Carol of the Synths - ARP Odyssey, Axxe, Omni, SCI Prophet 600, Sequential Prophet 6 synthesizers!

Published on Dec 12, 2019 Tom Loncaric

"'Carol of the Synths' based on 'Carol of the Bells'
A little seasonal cheer improvised on analog synthesizers!

Synthesizers used:
ARP Odyssey Mk II (1976)
ARP Axxe (1978)
ARP Omni (1977]
Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 (1983)
Sequential Prophet 6 (2017)

“Carol of the Bells" is a popular christmas song, with music by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych in 1914 and lyrics by Peter J. Wilhousky. The song is based on the Ukrainian folk chant "Shchedryk". The original folk story related in the song was associated with the coming New Year, which, in pre-Christian Ukraine, was celebrated with the coming of spring in April. The original Ukrainian title translates to "the generous one" or is perhaps derived from the Ukrainian word for bountiful (shchedryj), and tells a tale of a swallow flying into a household to proclaim the bountiful year that the family will have."

Jurgen Haible - Living Vocoder Custom Build

This one was spotted on Muff's from JanneI and sent in via M Me.

Jurgen Haible started work on the design back in 2009, prototype boards came in 2010, and he unfortunately passed away in 2011. His site is gone, however I was able to find his page on the Living Vocoder at the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine here.

"The Filterbank funktion will have 3 modes:

1) On
The Filterbank will always be mixed with the vocoded sound, acording to how you set the Filterbank sliders.

2) Off
Basic Vocoder function

3) Silence Bridging
The Filterbank function will fade in when there is no speech. So there is always a coloured Excitation signal. While you speak, the colour is set by the speech. When you don't speak, the colour is set by the 20 Filterbank sliders. This allows a seamless blend of ariticulated and non-articulated sound.
You can set the threshold - how many dBs down the speech signal is, before the filterbank is engaged -, and the attack and release time of the filterbank fade in/out, with 3 potentiometers.

Capacitors

I have reduced the expensive, 1% capacitors to two values: 10nF and 47nF.
That way, you can buy them in larger quanities and they won't be that expensive.
You will need about 150 pieces of 47nF 1% and 150 pieces of 10nF 1%.
They are available at www.rs-components.de , order number 169-326 and 166-6421 (These are bags of 10 pieces.)
You'll need a lot of other capacitors as well, of course, butthese can be 5% tolerance - not so hard to source."

SHERMAN FILTERBANK PROTOTYPE - #31 of 40 Made

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"One of just 40 prototype units hand-built by Herman Gillis (aka “Sherman”) in 1996. Excellent condition and full working order.

These original units did not have MIDI.

NOTE: This unit is working well but will be checked internally and tested by our techs. Shipping will be 10 working days from purchase.

According to the Sherman website just 40 of these Belgian beasts were made. No MIDI and the back “panel” is plastic plumbing pipe. No frills – all thrills.

Serial number: 31 – signed on the back by Herman!

In terms of functionality and sound it is obviously closer to the early Filterbank 1.

Very clean with almost no signs of age or use. A small amount of scratching around one screw is all we can see.
220/240v unit. A step-up transformer will be required for use on 110/120v supplies."

Moog Memorymoog

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Rare mid '80s Memorymoog. The last polyphonic synthesiser to be released by Moog Music before the company was sold to management and renamed Moog Electronics, it's often described as six minimoogs in one. While comparable to other polyphonic synthesisers of the time period, the Memorymoog sets itself apart with 3 audio oscillators per voice and greater preset storage capacity. The VCO's can be set to any combination of pulse (variable width), saw, and triangle waveforms and switched freely over a 4-octave initial range. Each voice also has its own 24 dB/Octave Low Pass VCF. In Mono mode, the Memorymoog functions as a traditional monophonic synthesizer with 1–18 oscillators selectable in unison. Specify any combination of Low, Latest or High Note Priority keying and Single or Multiple Triggering, for impressive degrees of control. A Chord Memory function (for single key, parallel chord "planing" effects) and an Arpeggiator are also included, while an independent LFO with 5 non-mixable waveforms allows simultaneous modulation of each VCO frequency, oscillator pulse width and filter cutoff frequency in any combination. VCO-3 can also be used as a Low or Audio Frequency modulation source. With careful programming, audio frequency modulation using Oscillator 3 can produce convincing pseudo acoustic and FM-like timbres typically not associated with analogue subtractive synthesis. Includes original cover, manual, sound chart and informational pamphlet. Includes Kenton MIDI kit. Completely serviced and calibrated (2 whole days of work!) prior to sale."
