orpho - GLUT UND ASCHE | VACUUM TUBE LOW PASS FILTER | NEW EURORACK MODULAR MODULE

video by HOX808

"'GLUT UND ASCHE' ist ein Doppelröhren-LOW-Pass-Filter mit einstellbarer Verzerrung der Filterresonanz. Jede Röhre verfügt über ein Differentialpotentiometer, das den Rückkopplungspfad zu der dazugehörigen Röhre spezifisch beeinflusst.

Die Schaltung basiert konsequent auf zwei Röhren und bietet echten und unverfälschten Röhrensound. Verwendet werden zwei ECF 80. Auf Transistoren, IC´s und SMD-Komponenten wurde zugunsten der Wahrhaftigkeit verzichtet.

'GLUT UND ASCHE' ist ein 'real thing' und so hört es sich auch an. Wild Entschlossen das durch den Signaleingang eingespeiste Audiomaterial drastisch und energisch zu zerrütten.

Selbstverständlich sind auch herrlich organisch anmutende Verläufe möglich, sofern man das Filter solide und gradlinig betreiben möchte."

Googlish:

"'GLUT UND ASCHE' is a double tube LOW-pass filter with adjustable distortion of the filter resonance. Each tube has a differential potentiometer that specifically influences the feedback path to the associated tube.

The circuit is consistently based on two tubes and offers real and unadulterated tube sound. Two ECF 80 are used. Transistors, ICs and SMD components have been omitted in favor of truthfulness.

'GLUT UND ASCHE' is a 'real thing' and it sounds like that. Wildly determined to drastically and energetically disrupt the audio material fed in through the signal input.

Of course, wonderfully organic gradients are also possible, provided you want to operate the filter in a solid and straightforward manner. "

Spiraling Prism (Herbie Hancock) - performed by Jon Opstad/Tom O'Grady/Byron Miller/Mark Mondesir

video by Jon Opstad

"'Spiraling Prism' (Herbie Hancock)

Performed by:
Jon Opstad - analogue synthesizers
Tom O'Grady - fender rhodes
Byron Miller - electric bass
Mark Mondesir - drums


'Spiraling Prism' was a masterpiece of analogue synthesizer orchestration by the legendary Herbie Hancock, originally from his 1980 album "Mr Hands". Here we recreate the track using entirely the same models of vintage synthesizer that Herbie Hancock used on the original recording, with no digital synthesizers, samples or software instruments.

Featuring the track's original bassist, electric bass legend Byron Miller (Herbie Hancock, George Duke, Sonny Rollins, Luther Vandross, Beyonce).

Taking the place of the track's original drummer, the late drum legend Ndugu, is the great British drummer Mark Mondesir (John McLaughlin, Jan Hammer, Courtney Pine, Kevin Eubanks).

The Fender Rhodes electric piano is performed by Tom O'Grady (Resolution 88, The Blackbyrds, Incognito, Myles Sanko).

The project was conceived and produced by Jon Opstad (film & TV composer - Black Mirror, The Feed, Rainbow Six Siege), who programmed and performed the analogue synthesizers.

The back cover of Herbie Hancock's 1978 album Sunlight showed an iconic photograph of his analogue synthesizer setup from this period. The original version of "Spiraling Prism" from Mr Hands was recorded during the Sunlight sessions. Here we have recreated that original synthesizer setup, using instruments such as the Mini Moog, ARP 2600, Oberheim Polyphonic and Prophet 5 that were key elements of Herbie Hancock's music in the 1970s.

This video is a celebration of Herbie Hancock's 1970s music, and the instruments on which it was performed."

Thanks to my vast intellect and also the loving support from patons and subscribers, I have achieved the development of this pinnacle of human technology: The internet jamming system for micro:bit orchestra. Basically it lets people sit at home in isolation and click a sick beat into a step sequencer on a web page. That sick beat is subsequently yeeted through the intertubes before it ends up being slammed out by an army of adorable tiny robotic rabbits of death. aww yiss!

here's the p5.js code so you can see how I made the web sequencer.

Allinaire Live: Monome Norns/Fates + ARC. Granular Synthesis. New Atlantis

video by Allinaire

"Monome Norns / Fates controlled by ARC and Faderbank. Live performance at 'New Atlantis, Artists Edition' at the Io Myer Theatre at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. Recorded 6th March 2021.
Testing the Quadraphonic sound stage at the theatre, this event featured several NSW modular and sound artists.
Huge thanks to Adam Hulbert of UNSW and New Sound Waves for organising and facilitating the event.
Video Synthesis and projection mapping onto the 4 screen panels by Adam Hulbert and Simon Trevaks (with Luke S Dearnley operating Vidiot during my set).
Quadraphonc sound in the Theatre but only stereo on this video - still some good sound panning and movement best heard on quality headphones or speakers.
Norns / Fates features several reels of material including field recordings of underwater audio from the Great Barrier reef off Carins QLD, percussion extracts from my Asalt studio piece & various Norns apps pieces and percussion.
Using Norns App ASH/ ANGL the ARC controls the pitch and speed in a high precision granular manner and Faderbank adjusts various other parameters.
4 Granular 'tape heads' are available concurrently and I swap out 'sound reels' during the performance.
The performance is basically made 'on the fly', by ear, by granularising the sounds into tiny pieces and adjusting parametaers to mix, smear, pan and resize & overlap grains.
Picked up some radio interference towards the end as well!
Thanks for watching."

Call the police, the Bass Station 2 is illegally good 👍👍

video by The Ocean Beneath

"This morning has all been about analogue synthesizers and stank face grooves.

Playing around with the Bass Station 2 again, I can't believe I almost got rid of this synth last year. Anyhow, came up with this patch and using the sequencer got this sounding absolutely lovely. Threw on some Valhalla Vintage Verb and the Ableton stock delay.

All recorded and edited using Ableton Live 11 and Hit Film Express."

Opens up around :36 in.

"Inspired by the Kelis track Acapella I was playing around with the Bass Station 2 again. Came up with this patch and using the sequencer got this fat sound. Threw on some Valhalla Vintage Verb and the Soundtoys Echoboy for even more fatness and saturated the hell out of it. This synth is still one on of my favourites and the sound is just so easy to play around with. Everybody should own a Bass Station 2."

"The A-Station is a discreet way to add a virtual analog voice to your setup. I am not the original owner so I cannot comment on this synthesizer's entire lifespan but I can confirm that it's in nice condition and sounds good too! I am selling this synthesizer because I am pairing down my equipment and simply can't keep everything.

This synthesizer is very handy to have around for when you want to add another little something to your tracks. Typically, I will lean on certain instruments to fulfill certain duties for a song (for lead, for bass, etc.). I used the A-Station as more of a chameleon type of instrument. It can serve many roles and considering its age, the sound has held up. Being 1U with all those knobs, its obviously no one's first choice for programming patches but it is completely serviceable once you get accustomed to it."

"Awesome synth module by E-Mu, released in 1994. Features a ton of emulations of classic analog synth piano, e-piano, organ, bass, etc. sounds. Really there are a huge amount of awesome patches here. Check the video where I scroll through a few of them! This synth also has good effects, including portamento, chorus, LFO, and more. It's a 1U rack unit, but it's not very deep, so it is also easy to fit on a desktop or bring to a live show without a proper rack case."

Comes with copies of the manuals, and a flash drive of all the sysex files I could find.

Two minor issues, the backlight isn't working, and the "50" series key for selecting sounds is not responding. Can be bypassed using MIDI on a computer or another button on the keyboard."

VAI 27. Godwin Drummaker 45 / Farfisa Syntorchestra & Syntorchestra 4

video by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"Another go at odd bars with the lovely combo of Italian underdogs: Farfisa Syntorchestra 4 and the Godwin Drummaker 45 - Computer System.
These machines can be tinny and a bit dull on their own but with some help from external effects we think they sound unique, to say the least.

We've previously made a video demo-ing all the functions of the Drummaker 45, you'll find it here". You can find additional demos here.

A drum machine, a bass section, a chord section and arpeggiator.
The Vermona DEG 500 is in use in the break for wobble effect, otherwise it's the Space Echo spring reverb and Chorus in action."

Starter Kits | Episode 02 | The ModularGrid top 5 vs. a system.

video by Cinematic Laboratory

"In this episode I extended my Top 3 combo with Disting Mk4 and Pamela's new Workout, upgrading it to a top 5. Needless to say this is an insanely powerful combo, but it also gets complicated very quickly. As a starter, you should always focus on the result - the music you like to make. So i ended up with a great 'starter kit 02' combo, a small Mutable Instruments 'system' with Marbles, Plaits, Stages, Ripples and Clouds. Costwise, it adds up pretty close to the Top 5 configuration, but it's much easier to get cool sounds and music out of it."
