X New Year - the first improv techno album from tamiX
video upload by tamiX (Nan Tang)

"Supporting tamiX, buy this album on Bandcamp: https://detund.bandcamp.com/album/x-n...

X New Year, the first album from tamiX, an artist skilled in improvising electronic music, records the live set at 024 in Beijing, a live house at Sanlitun, on the first day of new year night of 2022.

tamiX being an Buchla endorsed musician, played over 60-minute live set using rare Buchla 200e modular synthesizer system. It is an intensive exploration tamiX made to the music style she’s adept at: melodic techno, and created an unique tune integrating the features of experimental and musical.

To be affected by the distinctive glamour of tamiX, audiences should be in the live show, which is also the reason why tamiX barely released any record. As an electronic musician skilled in improvisation, compared with playing on the traditional music platforms, tamiX chose streaming video on YouTube instead, the leading medium in China and beyond the sea separately where audiences can watch all of her live show videos.

All things considered, the album X New Year includes the whole live show performance; meanwhile, the specific characteristics of tamiX playing electronic music improvisation are well demonstrated to its utmost.

Apart of the digital album, X New Year will be released as a special collector bundle, including a 44 pages photo book of tamiX's performance, and a USB sticker with more contents inside:

a) 60+ mins video of the performance
b) The trailer video
c) mp3 of the album
d) Uncompressed wav of the album
e) All photos in the photo book
f) Two picture of post cards
g) Pictures of the photo book
h) Cover picture of the album
i) Picture of my Buchla modules setup

Stay tuned for more infos about how to get the special collector bundle.

The Making Of Led Zeppelin's In Through The Out Door: Episode 1 - Yamaha GX-1 Demo

video upload by JCM

Note the video should start just before the GX-1 demo. You can use the controls to move forward or back if you want.

"The road to In Through The Out Door led me to research every detail about the record. The episode discusses my personal experience discovering the album, the state of play for Led Zeppelin in 1978 and the elements that made up the sound on the final product: the Yamaha GX-1 and Polar Studios."

Tymp Legio - stereo digital percussion in 6HP from Noise Engineering

video upload by Noise Engineering

"We are taking pre-orders for Tymp Legio NOW. This module starts shipping Thursday, August 25, 2022: https://bit.ly/3zQuw6C

Tymp Legio was inspired by our love of all things crashy, bangy, thumpy, kicky, smashy, or generally percussive. We like to have fun here at NE, and we really wanted this module to reflect the sense of playfulness and our commitment to making great-sounding stuff without taking ourselves too seriously. Tymp Legio's modes (Boot, Cat, Boing) are an onomatopoetic guide to the sounds each encompasses. The Tang switch selects the palate within each mode, and the Quack inputs duck your audio to your percussion (or pass through in Boing mode). Tymp Legio is fantastic for live performance, sound design, or anytime you just want to make some fun and different percussive noises.

The Legio platform is our newest 6HP platform. Any module in the Legio series can be swapped to any other in the series, completely free, at the Noise Engineering Customer Portal. Learn more about the platform at the World of Legio: https://bit.ly/3Nf61nW"

Noise Engineering Polydactyl Versio | Platform Episode 11 | Dynamics Processing

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"It's always a joy when a new Versio firmware comes out. But this time, it's not an effect. Well, it can be, if you have a few 'tame' sources in your rack that could need some grit. If I understand correctly, Polydactyl wasn't really planned, it's more like a labour of love. When dynamics processing came to the brand new Legio platform, Noise Engineering decided it would be uncool to exclude Versio owners. This was also a great opportunity to do multiband compression because Versio has more knobs and CV inputs. Librae Legio is intended as 'end of chain glue', a master bus compressor. Polydactyl is targeted to sculpt individual modules or a submix. So this video inevitably dives into the area of sound engineering. Please note I am not a pro, just sharing what I've learned so far. Let's face it, us - modular people - have to make our sounds from scratch, we need to do the final mix and make sure it sounds good on most speakers. These modules can be a lot of help.

When I was about to finish this video, a Legio module came to my doorstep. So I needed to do some more recording and editing (tough job) to compare the two. More about Legio coming soon!

As usual, Polydactyl can be flashed into your Versio for free. It's completely up to you if you keep it there. A dedicated module is coming out on August 25th. Completely new with Versio? My personal favorite top 4 is Desmodus, Melotus, Imitor and a generic Versio for the less permanent jobs. A friendly warning: Versio and Legio are 'fly traps' or 'honey pots'. It usually doesn't end with just one module..."

Alesis Andromeda Sounds - Part 2 - Ok, it’s not a Yamaha CS-80, but…

video upload by Friendly Noise

Part 1 here

"Introduced in 2000, the Alesis A6 Andromeda was a real miracle in a music world without modern analog polysynths. All big polyphonic names were no longer in production and only available in the used or vintage market. Some loved the Andromeda, some hated it, most simply didn’t come to know it because of the Alesis name and the lack of music hits featuring this powerful polysynth. The Andromeda can be described equally as a polyphonic instrument and as a polyphonic modular synthesizer. That´s how complex or deep it can be.

The sounds are illustrated with pictures of my own Andromeda. There is no video, because those are old recordings, made long time ago before I started recording videos. The purpose of the recordings was exclusively for personal use, a way to remember sounds I liked. Some recordings may still be useful today in order to get familiar with the sound of the instruments. Some sounds use the internal effects, some use external processing.

Video sections:

00:23 Vangelis plucked
01:07 Vangelis pad
01:48 Vangelis lead
02:37 Andromeda lead, dot.com sequence
03:45 Crazy lead
06:32 Andromeda pad, Doepfer A-100 lead
08:25 Onboard analog distortion
10:56 Ambient
15:10 Pad with external FX
15:42 Lead with ring modulation
17:44 Noise and Sample/Hold"
