Improvisation with 0-Coast & Habit


video upload by junklight

"A good way of learning gear is to make something with very limited items. In the last year I've acquired two 'trilogies' - the Make Noise desktop units and three Chase Bliss pedals that seem to really complement each other: Mood, Blooper and Habit

For this one focusing on the 0-Coast and Habit (assisted by the 0-control - while I'm happy to, and indeed do, make completely 'note free' work I'm not sure YouTube is a place it might find an audience)"

Oberheim Matrix 1000 vs OB-X8 // A Vintage Gem that deserves a closer look


video upload by Starsky Carr

"The Oberheim OB-X8 is an incredible sounding all-in-one OBX, OBSX, OB8 and OB-Xa but that comes with a considerable price tag. The Matrix 1000 is a true Oberheim (albeit with different innards) that's been a staple in studios for 3 decades. There's an amazingly flexible, warm sounding, fat little synth hiding in this little box. Putting it in a modern context vs the latest release from Oberheim tells an interesting story.

It always was a budget version of that Oberheim sound coming in at lower cost that the Matrix 6 or the Matrix 6R but how does it stack up in 2022. There are plenty of editors, and firmware to help it overcome some of its tweaking shortcomings.

Here's a demo of how it sounds compared to the fabulous OB-X8 and how I've been using it - which editors I found most useful etc.

All-in-all I've very impressed by it, a forgotten gem from the 90s that deserves a closer look!"

Patch Diary 004: Sequential Prophet Rev 4


video upload by Bloom Music

"Let's make this patch.

This is a video series where I create a patch from scratch and explain it (with subtitles) along the way.

The synth for today was the Sequential Prophet Rev 4.

The effects used were:
Earthquaker Devices Plumes
Caroline Guitar Company Kilobyte Lo-fi Delay

This time, I made a crunchy, resonant Prophet lead."

MicroDexed-Touch Nextgen Preview


video uploads by positionhigh



DIY Groovebox / Synth / Sequencer with 6 OP FM, VA and Sampling, based on a Teensy4.1

"These videos are very short feature demos that show what might become part of the microdexed project in the future.

This build will require a Teensy 4.1 Microcontroller and a graphical display with 320x240 pixel instead of the traditional 2x16 character text-display.

The screen also includes a resistive touch screen that will be concidered in the development. Other than that, we will keep the 2 encoders for interacting with the interface as it is.

This demo reel contains most of the new functions that are currently in development. Also you see the replacement of the Teensy Audio Adaptor by the PCM 5102 and the space for the external flash chip. Further, we will introduce some case improvements by screws going into threaded inserts. Case dimensions will be identical, as they were before.

Not everything of the new features is ready to use but at least you can get a glimpse of what is going to happen next.

Making demo reel videos is a lot harder than it looks. Maybe there will be one more at the end of 2022 and then the next will come up in 2023.

If you are involved in audio/microcontroller development as a passion, feel free to let us know if you like to participate and join the project development.

Patch of The Week: 'Melodic Doom' - How to use the Entropic Doom noise oscillator melodically


video upload by AJH Synth Official

"An improvisation using the Entropic Doom noise oscillator as a melodic instrument, controlled by a step sequencer. It's pretty much a voice in it's own right - a noise source, resonant 4, 3, or 2-pole voltage controlled filter, which will self-oscillate and track a 1V/Oct signal, along with a separate XOR based Ring Modulator and a Cmos gate based VCA. In this video I also use the Sync and audio input functions with a VCO. Additionally, I show the Dual RVG module serving as a master clock to the sequencer, and producing random timing for the sequencer steps, as well as additional random voltages for the Entropic Doom's frequency.

PATCH NOTES:
------------------------
Green dots show approximate pot and switch positions, and where there are 2 dots on the same pot, this indicates the range I adjust them during the video. Pots and switches that do not have green dots are not used in this patch, and should be left at their zero or off positions.
PRECISION VOLTAGES: Used to shift pitch intervals on the Entropic Doom from the incoming sequencer pitch CV. During the video I add 7 semitones and 1 octave at different points using the A switches.
DUAL RVG: This is being used for 2 purposes - To generate random frequency modulation of the Entropic Doom at the start, in addition to the frequency changes generated by the sequencer, which means a wider and more varied range of frequencies can be achieved than just using the pre-chosen frequencies set by the sequencer. It's just to add more randomness and chaos to the initial apocalyptic noises. It is also used to create random sequencer step timing, via it's Time Vary function. It sends gate signals to the sequencer and serves as it's master clock. As I unveil the melody I reduce this time variation until the sequencer timing becomes regular, or normal. The sequencer will need to have some form of Clock Input (perhaps Sync or Gate In), marked here by the green cable. VCO: This is also connected to the sequencer CV out, either by buffered multiple, or by using CV bus via the Glide + Noise as in the video, then the Glide's CV OUT should go to the Precision Voltages IN A. A triangle wave was used as the Sync source (purple cable), and square was used as the audio source. Tuning here is arbitrary, and dependent on your sequencer.
ENTROPIC DOOM: The base pitch of the module will be set by using the Frequency pots (FREQ-C & FREQ-F) to tune it, once the resonance level is high enough, more clearly so in 4-pole mode. FCV-IN here is only used for the random voltages coming from the Dual RVG, which I gradually remove as I unveil the melody from the sequencer.

Haken Continuum / EaganMatrix: Continuum + Bitbox + EaganMatrix Module = "Aleatoric Music 1010"


video upload by EaganMatrix Programming

"Here's a fun combination to create a simple Aleatoric Performance that will be different every time you create it. I sampled 16 different Haken Continuum preset performances of different lengths into a 1010 Music bitbox, some of which are custom built on random elements (like the drone that runs throughout in slot 1). Then I randomly triggered them starting with the drone that sets the overall time of the piece (ca. 4 minutes). The output of the Bitbox is sent into an EaganMatrix module for Master Section reverb processing (Modulated Delay) and also dynamic stereo tapped delay processing that uses an oscillating tap percentage on each channel at two different rates and amounts to create a shimmering pitch shifting effect on the output. Everything is Haken Continuum manipulated sounds. Of course, I could sample in a totally different set of things next time and create this kind of music easily all day long."
