Chill ableton beat making Live with itijik [Twitch Highlights]

itijik

"The Chop Shop 1020 sample pack includes Comakid Dusty Guitar Shots, itijik 96BPM CYBER synth loops, itijik 96BPM wtf synth loops and the itijik Collective version of the NOX 1.0 Drums. I decided to make a chill beat this morning, which turned out to be a challenge in itself. I'm really happy with how it turned out though!

The itijik Squad has a monthly challenge called the Chop Shop. Our samples and recordings are added into a limited sample 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. It's all about regular practice and elevating your production, and a little bit of showing off your chops! I will be posting the chop results and clips of the fresh music we're making here on YouTube and Instagram.

All itijik Collective members will get a selection of samples from each pack the itijik Squad releases, royalty free, for their own projects! There's already some samples and tools posted on the discord server, so be sure to join up if you haven't already. https://itijik.com/join/collective"

SONICWARE LIVEN 8bit warps : live jam with built-in looper

Masaki Takada

"LIVEN 8bit warps is equipped with a 4-track looper, and 1-3 can record internal sound sources and 4 can record external sound sources up to 128 STEPs.
If you prepare the drum, bass, and Uwamono patterns individually, you can gradually add and remove sounds like this 😋"

Erica Synths DB-01: Using it as a drum machine

Richard DeHove

"The DB-01 makes an interesting and unusual drum machine, keeping sync beautifully while being manually played. It also uses features which tend not to get as much love in the usual bass-duties mode, such as the triangle wave, drone mode and FM.

J3PO - "Morse Code" - Prophet 5 Reissue - first track

J3PO

"This is the first track I made with the Prophet 5 reissue after I had finished making a bunch of presets for it (still looking forward to seeing which ones will be chosen for the factory banks). The lead patch that I'm playing in this video utilizes the famed poly-mod section. Oscillator 2 is being used as a key-tracked polyphonic LFO (pulse wave) modulating the filter to create different tempos of the "morse code" sound.

All sounds in this video are made by the Prophet 5 except for the drums, which are mostly Roland TR-808 samples, constructed in XLN Audio's XO drum plugin.

Hope you enjoy this one. :)

peterkeys88

"I had the privilege of doing beta-testing, and some factory patches for the incredible Sequential "Rev4" Prophet 5 (or 10) this summer. Its a lovely and beautifully simple instrument thats a true joy to play. I started this "all prophet 5" track before i had to send the beta down the road to the next tester. Some FX were added."

0-Coast Ambient::Fragile:Threaded

C Nich0lls

"This track is composed with Makenoise 0-Coast synth and the 0-CTRL touch sequencer. The principal part is a single-take recording from the 0-Coast. In this piece I was revisiting some ways that I used to use the Korg SQ-1 sequencer. The 0-CTRL allows you to take those ideas further using touch interactions, having 3 rows and a more subtle approach to stage tuning and timing. This recording uses all of these features.

Timing and tuning were dialed in by ear and are deliberately elusive. The main 0-Coast patch uses a 'plucky' setting of it's dynamics, taking advantage of the 0-CTRL's ability to organically modulate the 0-Coast dynamics and contour. it's a relatively simple patch, but all 3 rows of the 0-CTRL are routed to make it expressive.

In addition to the main melodic line there are 3 additional recording takes. 2 are percussive; one a 'kick' and the second a high-pitched/noise burst. The last take is a variant of the melodic line, effectively 'ghosted' by widening the attack of the contour and pitching it up. All of the additional tracks were derived from the same 0-CTRL settings.

All the effects are from the new Strymon NightSky pedal. Each track has it's own custom patch, exploring some of the range of the pedal. All tracks recorded though UA Apollo Twin X."

Exploring DCO-106 with J3PO

Cherry Audio

"The producer extraordinaire J3PO recently sat down with the DCO-106, and shared the results!

DCO-106 offers a precise recreation of the iconic polysynth, with over 300 presets, 16 voice polyphony, three reverb modes, MPE support, and much more.

The DCO-106 is both easy to understand and powerful to explore, creating a massive array of sonic landscapes, cutting lead sounds, warm and hazy pads, punchy synthetic electro drums, and far more."

The Hierophant

Logan Vocalist - 37-note (F-F) monophonic and polyphonic analog choir synthesizer from the year 1979
Rare like stardust and maybe one of the most interesting human voice synths ever. Made in Italia.

The sound is a bit like the Roland VP-330 human voice section but you have a lot more possiblities with the 3 vowel filters (aaaa----oooo----uuuuu), the envelopes and mixing the different sounds.
Unique sound and very characterful like a Mellotron or Vocoder.

analog choir sounds and solo voice: Logan Vocalist (1979)
bass: Moog Taurus (1976)
analog strings: Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus (1979)

360 SYSTEMS Digital Keyboard - Rare and Historic Synthesizer Demo

GOLDEN HANDS

"Less than 200 of the 360 System Digital Keyboards were produced between 1982-1984, making this an extremely rare piece of musical history. It features 16 samples that are trigger when the keys are engaged, much like a Mellotron but with higher fidelity and more sonic options.

This video features a walkthrough of the keyboard and all functions. From the time I start playing, the audio source of the keyboard is a stereo file exported from Logic, recorded in high quality so you can hear the fidelity and nuance of the samples and overall functions.

Rare CRUMAR DS-1 // Less than 200 made in 1978 SN 28

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

via this auction

There was also a Crumar DS-2.

"One of the very few remaining Crumar DS-1 on the planet, serial number 28. Recently serviced and recapped, this impressive monosynth works like a charm and looks great - far better than any other DS-1 / DS-2 available nowaday.

Released in 1978 to compete against the Minimoog, the Crumar DS-1 implemented one of the earliest digitally controlled oscillators (DCO) - if not THE first. In those days this was enough to mark a synth as "Digital Synthesizer" but actually the DS-1 is a fully analog monosynth with analog controlled digital oscillators. A rocksolid synth that can easily genetare fat basses, expressive lead sounds and an unexpected range of percussive/FX sounds.

So Crumar released the DS-1 (their first full-fledged synthesizer) in 1978, more than four years after Korg and Roland began their domination of the low-cost arena. Consequently, and despite its cool sound and features, everybody overlooked the DS-1 and less than 200 units were sold.

The Crumar DS-1 is a dual-oscillator monosynth with a 24dB/octave resonant low-pass filter (inspired by the Minimoog Ladder), one LFO (assignable to oscillators, VCA, VCF and PW), Glide FX, two selectable noise generators and a useful Gate/IN. The front panel has a lot of well organized (and sturdy) knobs and sliders that make the DS-1 a very intuitive machine.

Specifications :

OSC Waveforms : Saw, Tri, Squ, PW (only OSC1)
OSC Parameters : Volume, Pitch, Octave, Manual PW Modulation
Noise : White / Pink + Volume control
LFO Assign : OSC1, OSC2, VCF, VCA, PW (OSC1)
LFO Waveforms : Saw Down, Tri, Squ, Saw Up, S&H, Scaled
LFO Parameters : LFO Delay
VCF : Cutoff, Resonance, ADSR, ADSR Amount
VCA : ADSR, ADSR Amount
Other : Pitch Bend, Glide with Speed Glide / Speed Range
Connections : Out Hi, Out Low, Gate/IN & Gate/OUT (+/-5 Volts)"

"Orginal series Moog system 15: Serial number 8473 manufactured in 1976 at Moog's Trumansburg, NY factory.

The unit powers on but I have not performed a recent sound check. This unit does NOT included the Moog 24db low pass filter. A substitute low pass filter is installed instead. Some of the keyboard keys stick and need to be replaced. An alternative is to use a control voltage converter (not included) with another keyboard. Patch chords not included but are readily available elsewhere since they are standard sized audio patch chords."

Drambo Groovebox Live Performance | haQ box mk VII | haQ attaQ

Jakob Haq

"Here's a live performance featuring my Drambo "haQ box mk VII" Groovebox. Drambo is in my mind one of the absolute best music apps to have come out in 2020. For those of you who dont know, Drambo from BeepStreet is an extremely powerful modular synthesizer, with a simplified routing system and Elektron-esque sequencer all in one. Want to know more bout the "haQ box"? Stay tuned!

Even though this video is highly edited, the performance featured here comes from on single take using two cameras and one iPad screen capture. I've also added in some B-stock footage of me making the custom Sensel morph layout."

Korg MONOTRIBE Sequence: still WORTHING in 2020?

Alba Ecstasy

"I bought my first Korg Monotribe back in 2011, fascinated by this affordable little analogue machine.
Sold it a couple of years later, since it wasn't quite on my workflow. Later, I started to regret that and last year I had the opportunity to buy another one for less about $70.
Fat sound, vintage drums, LFO, noise, sequencer, battery powered: amazing toy! Or it's maybe more than a toy? Or... ?! Tell me what do you think: leave a comment bellow!
Here's a sequence on my own style, with some passenger drums - more like some FXs for the track.
Delay: H-Waves, Reverb: Blackhole. No EQing.
