Moog Labyrinth Quick Minute


video upload by boxoftextures

"Just got a Moog Labyrinth and wanted to do a quick demo. Most of the demos I've seen are very, well, percussive, and I wanted to show that it can play notes as well. Wasn't 100% sure about this one, but having played with it for maybe an hour now I'm totally sold on it. And super happy they included a Hirajoshi scale as one of the 16, which both surprised and delighted me!

This quick minute patch uses one oscillator for notes and the other for modulation, but you can set the second one to audio rates and have the two sequences at different speeds playing off one another. Haven't gotten that far yet but looking forward to it. Also can't wait to clock the Labyrinth and the Subharmonicon together and then patch between them.

This is 100% Labyrinth, no external effects where used. Although to be honest I really wanted to put a reverb/echo on it LOL."

"Here's an amazing Roland System 500 Analog Modular system. This is the complete set. No longer being made from what I understand. Shame because the sound is so crazy cool. Very much a modern day classic with the sound and soul of the classic roland System 100.. which i also own.. and this 500 was a great complement to it : ) Unlimited basses, leads, wild efx and more!"

BUCHLA MUSIC EASEL - "ENSO" - DONNACHA COSTELLO COVER #ambient #buchla #electronicmusic


video upload by THAMEL

"This very piece of music, more than any other, hooked me on the Buchla Music Easel.
It's taken from Donnacha's album 'Stay perfectly still', wich is an amazing testimony of what the Easel can achieve on it's own.
Here is my modest take on it.
The Easel became my favorite electronic instrument since day one when I bought one late 2017.
Maybe the only synth I really need.
This is a live take, the first one.
With a Boss DD5, a Strymon Blue Sky and Elektron Analog Heat.
Footage: Dansk Arkitektur Center, Copenhagen, Denmark, June 2024.

Please enjoy on your favorite headphones or speakers.
You can find my music here on Bandcamp:
https://thamel.bandcamp.com
Thank you for listening."
