Ghost In Translation DRONE & MIDI


video by Ghost In Translation

"Here is a demo of DRONE being controlled by MIDI, in this case I use an UC33 connected to a laptop and the laptop is sending MIDI over USB to DRONE.

DRONE is a drone synth base on MOTHERBOARD6. I've been working on adding MIDI CC callbacks to the MOTHERBOARDs and it's now easy to catch MIDI CC messages and do anything with them.

Additionally I've made a web editor that allows to set the MIDI CC values for each available param of a module just by connecting it by USB.

As a reminder, I've built 3 MOTHERBOARDs which are modular pcbs that I use to create all my modules. They are modular in the way that they allow to build all sorts of modules out of the same PCBs. They also come with a base code that abstracts the low level electronics components handling which makes it easy to code any module on top of it.

If you want to learn more about my modules and the MOTHERBOARDs, check them on GitHub, all code is open source: https://github.com/ghostintranslation

J3PO Prophet Rev 2 Patches - Official Sounds Demo


video by J3PO

"The J3PO Prophet Rev 2 Patches — for the DSI/Sequential Prophet Rev 2 synthesizer.

You can buy these patches for your Prophet Rev 2 from www.j3po.net

There are 50 patches in this bank and they will load to User Bank 3 patches 1-50 on your Rev 2. The cost is $35 USD.

The Prophet Rev 2 has become one of my favorite synths of all time, due to its incredible modulation capabilities and pure sound. Although the Rev 2 sometimes gets overshadowed by its more expensive siblings such as the Prophet 6, OB-6, and Prophet 5/10, I have found that with a little time and careful programming, the Rev 2 stands up to the others. In many situations, it actually outshines them. Many thanks to Jason Cooper over at www.voicecomponentmodeling.com for providing the inspiration to create even more compelling patches for this instrument.

This collection of sounds is loosely divided into three categories: 1. Contemporary (Progressive Soul, Hip-Hop, Fusion) 2. Vintage (Synth Wave, Electro Funk, Outrun), and Cinematic (Drama, Suspense, and Retro). I hope you enjoy these sounds as much as I enjoyed making them.

00:00​ Intro
00:04​ Contemporary (Progressive Soul, Hip-Hop, Fusion)
09:09​ Vintage (Synth Wave, Electro Funk, Outrun)
14:58​ Cinematic (Drama, Suspense, and Retro)
25:47​ Outro

Available from www.j3po.net

I also have patches available for the Prophet 6, OB-6, Prophet 5/10 and a free bank of 50 sounds for the free VST synth 'OB-Xd' — all available on my website. If you're a Nord Stage 3 user, download my bank from the Nord Keyboards website."

Happy Birthday to Dave Smith!


71 and still young. I swear Dave and Jean-Michel Jarre never age. Must be the synths! :)

via @sequentialLLC

"Wishing a very happy 71st birthday to Dave Smith today — the instruments just keep on coming! Check out last year's classic video birthday card from our Sequential artist friends:" [posted here]

Happy Birthday Dave, thank you for everything. I have a quite a few of Dave's creations including an original Prophet-5, Prophet-VS rack, Evolver, OB-6, and my 2nd synth ever, a Multi-Trak I traded a TX7 towards back in my teenage days. :) I also picked up a Six-Trak and Prophet-2000, and KORG Wavestation EX along the way.

Vocoding in Eurorack: Mutable Instruments Warps meets Qu-Bit Chord V2


video by Patchwerks Seattle

"In this video resident expert Nick Bigelow of Patchwerks shares a simple way to vocode in eurorack using Mutable Instruments Warps and Qu-Bit Chord V2.

What is vocoding: A vocoder is a category of voice codec that analyzes and synthesizes the human voice signal for audio data compression, multiplexing, voice encryption or voice transformation. The vocoder was invented in 1938 by Homer Dudley at Bell Labs as a means of synthesizing human speech. -Wikipedia

Circuit Tracks drives a Buchla and Friends -CALC- All along the way


video by -CALC-

"I made this video and it didn't seem to sit right at the time. So I figured I'd perform it on a livestream instead and have a chat about it.

If you're interested in seeing it in a different guise and a bit of chat about the track (and other things). Here it is: [video below]

After the live stream I edited the video and felt better about it so thought I might aswell put it up anyway....

The Novation Circuit Tracks is sequencing a Summit, Juno 106 and the Buchla 208C Easel command. Mutable Instruments Beads is getting to work on a sample I nabbed from David Lynch's daily weather update. I dont think this is copyrighted but of course if it is and I've been a bit too naughty, I'll just have to take this video down. The beads is clocked from the analogue clock out on Circuit Tracks too.

I had fun recording the Buchla line, using the newly added strum arpeggiator on the Launchkey MK3 its a fantastic way to get random rhythm but on some coherent harmonies.

Theres a lot of the incredible Vongon Ultrasheer on this track too.... it is a simply stunning 'verb and wonky chorus."

Live Stream from Chez -CALC- noodlings, talking gear and other such shenanigans

video by -CALC-

"I thought I'd take the plunge and spend an evening livestreaming from the studio.
There is no reason for this other than to have a beer and play around on some of the gear.
I'll be looking at the Buchla 208 Easel Command, the Sleepy Circuits Hypno Synth and a few other bits and pieces. I'll have a play around on some tracks I've been messing with too.
I havent planned or prepped for any of this it could be fun or it could be a disaster we'll see."

Buchla Easel Command 208C - Tremor


video by TheTrackdriver

"All sounds are from the Buchla Easel Command 208C including the vinyl scratch. They were sampled and are played back from an Elektron Octatrack which is also sequencing the modulation oscillator on MIDI channel 3. The bellish sound from the complex oscillator is triggered and sequenced by the built-in sequencer on the Easel."

Behringer Working on Polyeight - Korg Polysix Clone w/ Two Extra Voices



From Behringer on the interwebs:

"What an exciting day - the first Polyeight has come alive:-)

While this is still an early prototype, the firmware is all based on our new ARM platform, which will certainly speed up the development and time to market.

As you can see, the Polyeight is not a pure clone. We have retained the analog section, but added 2 more voices and especially a much improved user interface with very useful functions.

What do you think?"

Erica Synths DB-01: How to make a "Super-16"


video by Richard DeHove

"How can you make a 16-step pattern into a 32 or even a 128-step pattern without creating multiple bars? Just use the "cycling steps" feature. There are various "cycling step" options available such as 1/2 2/3 3/4 or 7/8. By adding just a few you can make a very simple 16-step pattern into a much more complex and varied "Super-16".

Motion Soundscape Introduces BeatCutter - Experimental Rhythm Slicing & Recombining App

videos by Igor Vasiliev

1. BeatCutter - Rhythm slicing & recombining. Quick Start.
2. BeatCutter - Multichannel AU and advanced settings


via Motion Soundscape

"BeatCutter is an experimental multi-channel app for slicing and recombining sound based on rhythm. In the center of the app is a matrix of sample cells with smoothly reconfigurable recording, playback and control busses. This app is best for those who would like to experiment with long sound files or live instruments, creating chaotic constructions and patterns from sliced rhythm-driven samples.

With this app you can create sound patterns and abstractions with the atmosphere of cyberpunk, industrial ambience or alien jungle. BeatCutter has an almost unlimited range of options for transformation of source audio. The kind of original sound does not really matter. It can be any tracks, external musical instruments or sound from other apps. The content of the source material and your settings will define the final result, which can range from futuristic IDM to abstract music for fill the living space and soundscapes for relaxation and meditation.

Please note that this app does not contain exact presets for a specific result. It has many parameters that need to be set depending on the source material and just experimenting. But for an easy start, this app has a convenient editor of the template that consists of a set of numbers from 0 to 9 where each number defines the depth of change and the spreading of values of the parameter group. You can change any numbers in the template and hear the result, or use the randomizer for the entire template, then change some parameters and save the current state as a preset.

How it works:

At the core of the app is a matrix of 64 (8x8) cells in each of which a sample can be recorded. The sample matrix is controlled by 5 types of buses - Inputs, Triggers, Controls, Sequencer and Outputs.

The audio signal for recording takes from 8 input buses, each of which can playback a file or be assigned to one of 4 channels of an external sound card or audio unit.

Cell recording start and stop is controlled by 8 trigger buses. Each trigger can be assigned to a signal from any input bus or external channel. The trigger is activated when the signal exceeds the threshold. Each trigger has a band pass filter which selects frequency range in which the trigger will activating. The length of the record in the cell is defined either by a fixed value in beats or by activating and deactivating the trigger.

The sequencer controls the playback of the cells. The sequencer can sync with the main BPM clock or change the step when activating its own trigger. The played sample is fed to one of the 8 output buses on which the cell is located.

The output bus also process the signal with one of the audio effects, filter and echo modules. Next, for each of the 8 output signals, can set the output level, stereo panning, EQ and level to send to the main reverb. The output buses and main reverb are mixed for the external stereo output.

Each cell has a set of parameters that define the playback speed of the sample, a bit mask of playback addressing that implements a kind of glitch effects and other parameters. For each group of 8 cells, these parameters are set by one of the 8 control buses.

Another interesting feature is that for all 5 types of buses, 8 different modes of combining cells in the sample matrix can be set. This allows to create completely unusual configurations for recording, playing and controlling sample cells. Changes mode of buses and value of parameters are performed smoothly and it is possible to set the duration of this change. This options makes the transition sound even more amazing."
