I still have to tune all the oscillators but all the crackling potentiometers, jacks and non responsive keyboard is fixed now"

Elektron Monomachine - drums
Sequential Circuits Prophet X - piano lead
Moog Matriarch - synth lead

"The Roland CompuRhythm or CR-78 from 1978 is arguably the first famous drum machine. In this short video, I take a look at why that is.

Thanks to the owner of this CR-78 and thanks to Autoy for filling in the sounds I couldn't get due to it needing a visit to the synth doctor."

A DARK PLOT OF LAND
Catalogue Four

Label: Outsider Sound Design
Catalogue Number: ADPOL-C4
Format: Digital Download

Modern experimental music from 'a dark plot of land'

Curated from original source material, this catalogue of music was arranged and completed in 2018. It explores altered states of consciousness through metaphoric sound association.
Removes context through highly abstract methods including: destructive processing, intuition, improvisation, structure, and chance synchronicity.

It is pivotal for the listener to understand that this work was created with serious, psychological intent. It is not a passive listen. Meaning is purposefully superimposed into the sound aesthetic. The listener is challenged to interpret into their own individual context.

Technical information. Equipment used.
Standard and microtonal custom midi guitars
Roland VG-99 guitar processor
Haken Continuum fingerboard
Kyma sound design environment
Eurorack format synthesizer
Assorted audio effects units
Various computer audio processing software

Original artwork available at www.natbradley.com"

Appropriate of Noting

video upload by nbor

"An indulgent moment where I organize chaotic sound, instead of finishing my work.
I've been rewiring my studio for better flexibility, and this means I need to check connections. When you check a connection for a Buchla Music Easel, it is inevitable that a fascinating sound will emerge. I suddenly loose focus on the task at hand and must capture what feels fascinating, adding other sounds and organizing the chaos around me.

The single camera needed something more fitting of the dark, exotic audio, so I spend some time creating something more sympathetic with the sounds under hand."

"The synth has been upgraded with the DBM firmware which offers an actual MIDI-implementation with filter control and more. The Memorymoog Plus was originally intended to work with MIDI but in fact it didn't with it's stupid Omni mode. Making it virtually impossible to function with MIDI. It sounds absolutely fantastic (but you probably know that) and do rarely require the need of the autotune function. But just some 30 min. good old warm up"

Roland VP-330 MKI Vocoder Plus 49-Key Synthesizer

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

via this auction

"The 10-band paraphonic vocoder of course nails classic Kraftwerk robot speak sounds, but it's even more useful (imo) as a secret studio weapon for subtle, unique pads. If you're tired of that (beautiful, but somewhat boring) Juno 60 pad sound you hear on just about every track, the otherworldly vocal-inflected envelopes of the VP-330 can be a killer option to add to your bag of tricks. And yeah, of course the syrupy chorus string machine that's classic Blade Runner soundtrack era Vangelis is worth the price of admission on its own."

Future Retro Vectra Synthesizer Sound Demo Part 3

video upload by FutureRetroSynths

"All sounds you hear are from the Future Retro Vectra synthesizer. In this video we focus primarily on a few Bass, Guitar, and Sync type sounds.

The Vectra is capable of recreating some of the most recognizable sounds from some of the greatest synths of all time. Want to do wavetable synthesis like the Prophet VS and Microwave 1? How about some DX FM sounds? Or combine digital and analog waveforms like the D-50? And who remembers the SQ-80? But this goes farther than just digital synths, how about 303 stuff? Do you enjoy the rich fat tones of the Oberheim's with variable glide time per oscillators, and gorgeous filters? We do too! And British synth lovers, will enjoy the Synthi, Wasp, and Oscar inspirations. Want to dive into some modular weirdness, you got it! Or maybe you're just tired of the same old drum machines and ready for some new percussion. Whether you're a professional musician, sound designer for film, or hobbiest the Vectra offers something for everyone.

Some clips may include a touch of reverb/delay from the Eventide Eclipse."
