The Noiseblast Hour, Episode 9: IAMEVE and Orphx
Noise Engineering
https://www.orphx.com/
"'Described as '... if Alice took Ziggy Stardust’s hand and followed him down the rabbit hole to a world guided by the twists and turns of ethereal and colorful vocals," by The Huffington Post, IAMEVE is a singer, songwriter and storyteller. Her evocative sound tapestries are inspired from a world of a supernatural nature full of hypnotic vocals, spacey sounds, and surrealism.
IAMEVE has won several awards for her short music film “Starman” and is currently in production on a 360 Fulldome show. She has been featured in numerous TV shows and Films, most notably for the theme song “To Feel Alive” in Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters with composer Andrew Lockington and Nicholas Dodd on Sony Classical. She has performed with many celebrated artists, notably as a guest vocalist for Moby, The Today Show, Fox Good Day NY and is featured in TC Helicon’s 'The Ultimate Guide To Singing'.
Orphx have been creating their unique fusion of rhythm and noise since the early 1990s, combining and recombining elements of techno with the experimental techniques and critical spirit of industrial music.

Aquifex - Roli Equator 2 MPE live jams with multi-looper
"Demos of new Equator 2 with only MPE patches - played live into a multi-looper and mixed live while playing another part to a stereo recorder - I ran out of loops. :-) The live nature give rise to mistakes and a human feel... I upgraded my Roli Equator app to v.2 during CyberWeek and was inspired to make a couple of “soundtracky” demos with only Equator 2 MPE patches. In case you didn't know, Equator 1 and 2 have non-MPE patches of you need them."

"Fully refurbished and future-proofed. This is a Juno-106 with built in speakers.
We paid our tech for 16 hours of skilled labor to completely refurbish and future-proof this unit so it will hopefully outlast all others of its kind. This work is of course reflected in its price.
All 80017 chips had their resin coating removed (this coating eventually starts causing failures in these, so we chemically remove it as a preventative measure). Both speakers in this unit have been replaced with new ones. The battery was replaced and patches were reloaded. This unit was cleaned inside and out. (The speaker area is hard to clean, so you may still see dust inside that section if you look closely). All tact switches were replaced. Cold solder joints were reflowed. Cleaned and lubes all slide and rotary pots. Recalibrated. Adjusted keyboard. Systematically tested several times and burn in test passed."

Phosphenes by Dave Bessell & Parallel Worlds (DiN65) Demo Mix
"Dave Bessell & Parallel Worlds Phosphenes DiN65
Release date 15th January 2021
Limited to 500 copies Digipak CD
The names of Dave Bessell & Parallel Worlds should be familiar to aficionados of the DiN label with various solo & collaborative albums under their belts. “Phosphenes” see these two well respected musicians team up for their third collaborative release on DiN.
Following on from Morphogenic (DiN41, 2012) & Dystopia (DiN56, 2018) this new album builds on their previous work creating an imaginary Synthwave soundtrack. Bakis Sirros the mastermind behind Parallel Worlds provides the skittering rhythmic backdrop to the tracks over which he and Bessell overlay ominous bass lines, twisting melodies and creative sound design that recall a shadow of 1980s John Carpenter film scores. Bessell also adds his unique guitar style that he so effectively uses in his other well known side project with the synth quartet Node. Both musicians make extensive use of modular synth systems but in very different ways that perfectly blend together in these eight atmospheric tracks.
The duo of Bessell and Sirros really do have a unique sound that is unlike anything else released in the world of electronic music and “Phosphenes” presents another chance to enter their darkly twisted sonic world.

"This custom patch series is the quickest and easiest way to learn how to program your DX7 FM synthesizer. In this tutorial I make an electric piano patch in the style of Mac Demarco's song "Another One", which is frequently requested by my viewers. Make sure you add your own external effects such as reverb, delay, chorus, etc. to create the full effect.

E-MU Systems Emulator EIII XP fully upgraded
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Up for sale is a fully upgraded Emu Eiiixp with highly visible OLED display, SCSI2SD drive, 32mb of sampling memory and sampling option installed.
The SCSI2SD comes loaded with an original bank of EMAX I percussion samples and 2 more partitions to save your own sounds..or you can reconfigure the 16gb SD card any way you'd like! The sampler is currently configured to boot from SCSI I.D. 5.
This EIII XP was recently serviced and had all electrolytics on the power supply board replaced with high quality audio grade capacitors, and the ribbon cable to connect from the front panel to the mainboard replaced to ensure years of playability. Very minimal rack rash. Power cord included.
As a side note there is a very slight transformer whine, this is typical for an digital instrument of this age and not in the audio path. It is also extremely quiet compared to the 4gb internal drive that was previously installed.
This Eiiixp has been future proofed and is in excellent condition. If you want to add low end thump to your mixes, this is how to do it!"

"Eight-voice programmable polyphonic analog synthesizer with a full 61-note keyboard. LCD displays use a simple and intuitive format to show all its parameters and values. Two analog oscillators per voice plus a sub oscillator provide the basis of its punchy analog sounds that can be described as similar to a Chroma Polaris or a Roland Juno 106. Very good bass, brass, synth sounds, and effects are possible."

The Midnight Sun - An Ambient Jam Session (Blofeld, Specular Tempus, Launchpad Pro)
Lanthan O'Ide
"It's been a while since I last recorded something with my Launchpad, hasn't it?
Well, here's a new ambient track. Enjoy! ^^
================================
For those playing along at home:
The tempo is at 65 BPM, and the key is C major.
As the LP's note layout is the same for all keys I didn't have a reason to pick a fancy one.
So I just went for one that's easy to jam along to. ;-)
================================
For those interested in the setup:
Here's a flowchart:
(Expression Pedal) ⇒ DIY MIDI Controller ⇒ Launchpad ⇒ (PC) ⇒ Blofeld ⇒ Specular Tempus
(Devices in parenthesis are off-screen)
Firstoff, that little siver box with the amber lights turns the input from an expression pedal into MIDI pitchbend commands. Its output gets routed to the Lanuchpad.
Now, I've got a custom firmware running on the Launchpad Pro.
It's called Subsequencely and allows me to use the LP as a standalone MIDI controller.
Thanks to some software magic, the notes I play are triggering two different patches on the Blofeld: The higher notes play those little bells, and the lower ones are expanded into full chords for the pads.
To turn single notes into full chords I'm actually using a homebrew VST plugin, nicknamed "Arclight". You can grab that from my website if you'd like to try that out for yourself. ;-)
Ok, but back to the hardware setup.
The Blofeld is running in multi-mode, so it's playing both the melody and the pads.
Then the Specular Tempus slaps a whole lot of reverb on it, and the result get's recorded.
And that's it!"
