Amanda Chaudhary Performance Resident Electronic Music 07-14-2020


CatSynth TV

"Amanda Chaudhary performs a live electronic-music set at Resident Electronic Music, a monthly (live-streaming) showcase hosted by The Laundry in San Francisco.

A mixture of abstract electronics on a modular synthesizer (Sputnik, Metasonix, Strymon, Qu-Bit, Expert Sleepers, FolkTek, Noise Engineering and more), Stylophone, Sensel Morph, Live is Unfair joystick along with beats from Ableton Live and Arturia Spark; and jazz keyboard using Nord Stage EX, Sequential Prophet 12, and Arturia V Collection instruments.

Resident is a monthly electronic audiovisual open mic event started in 2017. It is held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at The Laundry. Resident is casual and cool, and the community you'll find is like no other for aspiring electronic musicians in the Bay. No judgments, no bullshit, just positive support and openness to new ideas.

"Vintage drum synthesizer, the Tama DS200. The device has been fully tested and is in perfect working condition. I primarily was using it for the very low sub bass frequencies it generates. Many drum machines\synths have short\limited volume envelopes for bass sounds but with this thing you can get loooong sub booms from it. You can also get 50's-ish sci-fi sounds and the sound I think most associated with this devices is the Tom like sound heard on many Disco records of the 70s and 80s. It has two analogue oscillators with sensitivity, sweep range, sweep time, decay time, volume control and pickup input for each oscillator. Then envelop depends on the input source like an envelope follower."

I have the rack ears (currently attached) and the wood sides. I also have the output jacks rotated to the bottom but I can rotate them to the back if you like."

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

via this auction

"As you probably know, the 008 is not being made anymore. This has nothing to do with the design, it's purely because the build cost does not make it a profitable venture at all for Modal. The sound is very reminiscent of the (ARP) Rhodes Chroma mixed with some Memory Moog Plus. The additional features are far more advanced than any of the other analog polysynths on the market right now."

Bass Station II - Advanced Sound Design // Novation Live


NovationTV

"-CALC- revisits the classic Bass Station II analogue synth, with a live stream focused on sound design. -CALC- will cover some of the more interesting and unusual features that this beast of a monosynth has to offer, including a look at programming the powerful AFX mode, releasing the 3rd Oscillator, paraphonic control and exploring the very powerful and programmable envelopes."

Demodulating signals with modDemix


MAKEN0ISE

"The first Make Noise module was the modDemod, released in early 2008. The name is short for modulation/demodulation, which is the process of extracting a signal from a carrier wave in communications technology, for example in radios. The modDemod has been out of production for a long time, but its legacy lives on in the modDemix.

FLAME MÄANDER 2.0 - MIDI Tutorial #TTNM


THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Here's a tutorial video on how to set up and use the Mäander's MIDI features.

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support

The Mäander provides both MIDI input and output on separate MIDI channels for the polyphonic synth and the percussion parts (input, noise and filter band envelopes). You can also define what MIDI data is received and sent. The two MIDI input sockets at the back of the device let you attach two different controllers or sequencers, to separately play the synth, the filter bank and to send program change commands. It's very easy to set up und flexible :-) "

Steel Tongue Drum + Modular Synth



"I recently added a piezo pickup to my Aklot Steel Tongue Drum. I immediately thought about plugging it into my modular synth. Here is one example of what you can do with an electric steel tongue drum. By the way, the "check 1 2" track was just me testing a mic. I captured it in the Phonogene and then decided to use that sample in the track.

See the video showing how to add a pickup to the drum here:"

"WORKING CONDITION: Very Good - All keys are working great. The Mod Amt wheel spins continuously and has no effect on the sound. The attack slider in the Contour Generator section must be gripped firmly or it gets stuck halfway through its range. All other controls are in fine working order. Overall working condition is very good."

Live w/ Hydrasynth, Moog Subharmonicon, DFAM, Empress Reverb, Echosystem, Multidrive, EHX Oceans 12


Jay Hosking

"A live track performed entirely on hardware. I've got something pretty big coming up (an actual workflow video!) but I wanted to capture this musical ice sculpture before it melted.

At its heart is the Moog Subharmonicon and its polymeter melody; I love how the Electroharmonix Oceans 12 adds some weirdness to it, via two reverb algorithms (one in reverse), plus its "tide" parameter which adds a gentle LFO to the panning.

As before, two DFAMs do the job of drums, with one running on its standard clock (kick and snare) and the other following the Subharmonicon's lead (hi-hats). At this point, I think it's impossible for me to enjoy the DFAM fully without the Empress Multidrive on it; the Multidrive brings out the highs and lows and adds some beautiful saturation, all at the same time.

And then doing most of the heavy lifting is the ASM Hydrasynth. No matter how good the Hydra sounds (and it does sound great), the experience of playing the Hydra is its best feature. It's hard to describe how responsive and expressive its polyaftertouch keybed is; suffice it to say that it shaped the chords, arrangement, and dynamics of the song. And with the Empress Reverb on it, it really steals the show.

Oh, and I added my voice again. Almost didn't. And some acoustic guitar? I don't know. It felt right.

Ashun Sound Machines Hydrasynth + Empress Reverb — Bass, pads
Moog Subharmonicon + Electroharmonix Oceans 12 — Polymeter melody
Moog DFAM + Empress Multidrive — Kick and snare
Moog DFAM + Empress Echosystem — Hats and bells
(Meris Polymoon does nothing in this one; it was just still set up from last time.)
Larrivee D-03 — Acoustic guitar

Performed and recorded live. Compression, delay, and reverb added to vocals and acoustic guitar during recording, and compression/limiting on the master.
