Honeysmack LIVE Acid Techno at Music Room on 3.03 Day with TR-09, TB-03 and Volca Beats

video upload by Honeysmack

"This was a small intimate gig I did on 3.03 day at Music Room in Melbourne. Amazing beautiful small venue that is a bar with a record room and huge sound. DJs are at home here although live acts definitely not the norm here, but I am always up for bucking the trend. Being the holy day of 3.03, I wanted to do a live set that was totally ACID focused with a 303.

The additional technical challenge was to do this show with ultra minimal gear, no mixer, no power, no effects just the Roland TR-09 and TB-03 with the Korg Volca Beats, all daisy-chained together. The TR-09 was the master clock and audio passed from the Volca into the TB-03 then into the TR-09. All effects are on board, no additional processing or mixing or anything else! Just one small audio cable running into the PA. All boxes were running on battery power for even less cabling and ease of set-up. The entire space was less half a square metre!

The performance is totally improvised, unrehearsed without any additional processing or editing. No DJs or computers were harmed during this performance.

Big thanks to the Acid Safari, Bo, DJ Jnett and everyone at Music Room.

"What's better than one Octatrack? Two, of course. In today's live stream we use my battery powered Octatrack run the Octacosm project which will be processing the OP-1 Field. The Octacosm is an Octatrack Template that turns the Octatrack into a granular effects processor which is great for processing synthesizers. We will be sampling into the Digitakt and making some music from scratch.

Dynacord CLS 222 ~ Expressive Osmose ~ Strymon Cloudburst

MACKIE the Mixer
The 'CLS 22' model was built from 1982 to 1988 and uses an exclusively analog signal. According to the manufacturer's official product brochure, Dynacord began developing the effect in the 1970s with the aim of imitating the sound of the mechanical rotor cabinet fully electronically and without wear. To do this, the manufacturer splits the input signal into a high-frequency and a low-frequency signal using an electronic crossover. Since the start-up and stop times of the two channels varied in a targeted manner, the rotor sound could be copied electronically. You could choose between fast speed (“Fast”), slow rotor sound (“Slow”) and untouched signal (“Stop”). In addition, the input level of the preamplifier, rotor balance, and output level of the signals could be adjusted between monophonic or stereophonic. On the back there is a power plug, jack sockets, XLR outputs, fine adjustments for the rotor speed and a footswitch input.

In 1989, a revised version of the device was released under the name “CLS 222”. This effect device supposedly now also uses a digital signal for signal processing, in contrast to the pioneer. However, according to the circuit diagrams in the service manuals, both the CLS 22 and the CLS 222 use purely analog circuits, including BBD chips (so-called “bucket chain memory”) for the signal delay. According to the manufacturer, the CLS 222 model could still be used for electric guitars, microphones and PA systems without any problems, although the previous model was designed more for keyboards
British rock musician Eric Clapton used a white “Dynacord CLS 222” from 1989 to 1996 as part of his Soldano/Cornish guitar routing system. The effects device came into the system for the B part of the Cream song Badge. On the original recording, Clapton recorded the part with an original Leslie speaker, but used the Dynacord as a replacement for the performances during the Journeyman World Tour and world tour in 1992.

The guitarist David Gilmour of the rock band Pink Floyd also used a “Dynacord CLS 222” in his guitar and effects device system, which, like Clapton, was also developed by the British electrical engineer Pete Cornish.

The guitarist The Edge of the Irish band U2 also used the “CLS 22” effects device. The French music producer and disc jockey Joakim Bouaziz uses a “Dynacord Leslie simulator CLS 222” in his New York Crowdspacer Studio.

OKTAVISION - Findings

video upload by OktaVision

"Our second video clip from our new album, out now on every major platform"

Additional details via supporting member - Oktavision:

"We've just uploaded our second video clip 'Findings' from our freshly released EP.
The vocal melody was inspired while listening to Tangerine Dream's Stratosfear. Then I started building the intro with my MS 20 sequenced by an SQ1. Added drums from my drumbrute but the final buildup came into existence after adding a acidic bassline from my TB303. The soprano the final section is a sample from Maria Callas opera drenched in reverb ."

via this listing

"I am a music hobbyist, a bassist in fact, and this synth belongs in the hands of a professional keyboard player or producer ... or anyone with more talent than me. I'm sure someday soon I'll regret selling it. But frankly though, I bought it because I couldn't wait for the Behringer UB-Xa any longer. But now that I have the UB, which in no way sounds as beautiful as the OB-X8, I'm selling the OB.

Now that I have the two to compare, the most immediate difference is the build quality of the OB so completely outshines the UB. Next is the tone. The lows and especially the lo-mids are tight and clear on the OB. The UB is a bit boomy or mushy in comparison with a tendency to overdrive without adjustment on the board. The OB also has more preset storage, 128 more locations. However, given my lack of skills, musical and financial needs, I've got to sell the OB. My loss is your benefit."

Breath Controlled Buchla - Making a flute with a synthesizer

video upload by Aaron Goldberg

"Here is the follow up video I promised, briefly explaining and demonstrating the 'flute' patch I discovered recently. This simple patch involves an external input / preamp module with an envelope follower, an oscillator with timbre control / wave shaping and a vca. Adding a noise source as a secondary sound, opening it with a similar envelope, can really add to the illusion that its a flute. I am taking the envelope follower from the aux in, and patching that to amplitude and timbre of the complex oscillator. There is also a pulse generated every time I blow into the mic. The pulse tells a sequencer to advance, changing the note you hear every time you blow into the mic. Thank you for checking out my video! If you are interested, you can see me make improvised music live on twitch at"

Stereo Lockhart Wavefolder + drum machine // Heretic Machines aka optotronics

video upload by e j

via Heretic Machines aka optotronics

"This is a stereo wavefolder, 10 hp. It can be quite distorted and brutal !

It's loosely based on nonlinear circuits wf core (Lockhart cells)

This stereo wavefolder allows you to achieve interesting stereo - folding effects even with very basic modulation.

Output 1 is normalised to the input 2- this allows you to use it as a single ten-fold wavefolder!

When channels are used separately the module functions as dual 5-fold wavefolders.
CVs (fold and offset) from the left channel are normalised to the right channel - so you can use single source modulation for both wavefolders.
It can sound quite brutal and distorted-10 folds is not nothing!

Perfect for mad panning, distortion effects and FM madness!

Erica Synths - Hexinverter Mutant Hot Glue sound demo

video upload by Erica Synths

"The Mutant Hot Glue is a versatile bus mixer for analog effects chain design. The included analog compressor offers series or parallel compression and a sidechain input, making it particularly well suited to drum processing. The distortion can be used in its default position, normalized to the effects send, or like every other part of the module, broken out and used elsewhere in your modular system. Mutant Hot Glue has been faithfully re-designed, paying homage to the original design, with an improved compressor developed in collaboration with Hexinverter Electronique

Timeline:

00:00 - Patch 1 / Glued Drums - Sample Drum, Bassdrum and Pico Drums mixed together. Stereo FX used as Send FX.
01:46 - Patch 2 / Self oscillation patch. Mixer module patched in feedback with itself and modulated with the Octasource.

Volume & Panning | Schlappy Patching with Stazma

video upload by

"Episode 7 for Schlappy Patching!
Today we talk volume. Might seem boring but changing the volume of a sound over time result in dynamic, and it is actualy quite awesome! Also if you can change the level of something on one side of the stereo field, you get "panning" effect, without the need of a pan pot on a stereo mixer (you need two VCAs instead). Anyway we'll explore things volume related, using a drum mahcine and some sounds generated by the Three Body, mostly using Nibbler for stepped modulations.

Have fun watching!"
