Investing In Your DAWLESS Workflow PAYS OFF
video upload by EZBOT
"I have spent countless hours trying to figure out the perfect workflow.. does it even exist? Today we are going to discuss workflow, technique for sampling, effects processing, and trying to stick to our intuition. On the table we have a Digitakt II, M8 Tracker, Synthstrom Deluge, Melbourne Delia, and the Headrush Core for vocals and guitar."

How to Import Wavetables to Phase Plant by Kilohearts... Like KRC Mathwaves
video upload by Keith Crosley
"The world's biggest collection of wavetables—KRC Mathwaves—is now available in the wavetable format used by the Kilohearts Phase Plant wavetable synthesizer! In this short video, I cover how to import wavetables to Phase Plant and also talk about the specifics of the (somewhat unique) Phase Plant wavetable format. I also give some initial thoughts after my (admittedly short) time with Phase Plant, show where to find the Phase Plant version of the KRC Mathwaves free wavetables, plus the usual talky banter.

Ratio Chords with Three Body | Schlappy Patching
video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING
"Episode 18 for Schlappy Patching!
For this one I'll show you a very unusual way to think chord progressions by using the ratio function of the Three Body, sequenced by the Nibbler / BTMX.
This is a fun way to create sometimes intricate progression without any music theory involved (even tho it can come in handy sometimes), just by listening to what's happening.
Have fun watching!!"

Roland Announces SP-404MKII KDJ Records Limited Edition
Press release follows:


Los Angeles, CA, October 15, 2024 — Roland announces the SP-404MKII KDJ Records Limited Edition, a signature version of the world’s favorite portable sampler. This unique collaboration celebrates the continuing legacy of Kenny Dixon Jr., aka Moodymann, the Detroit music maverick whose influence spans three decades of trailblazing music released on his KDJ Records imprint. Limited to 600 units worldwide, this exclusive drop features an SP-404MKII with a custom aluminum faceplate, new sound banks crafted by the label’s roster, and a seven-inch vinyl record and mixtape filled with key selections from the KDJ discography.
Founded in 1994, KDJ Records is a sonic testament to Moodymann’s enigmatic musical vision, collaborative spirit, and deep-rooted love for Detroit. Blending soulful electronic sounds with Motor City swagger, KDJ’s steady stream of groundbreaking Moodymann albums, 12-inches, and limited-edition pressings have cultivated a global fanbase and influenced a generation of new music makers. Moodymann’s creative community—including legends like the late great Amp Fiddler, Juan Atkins, “Mad” Mike Banks, and label mates Andrés, Rick Wilhite, and Theo Parrish—provides much of the inspiration behind the releases of KDJ and sister label Mahogani Music.
Moodymann beams with pride about the positive opportunities that KDJ Records has created for his local Detroit music community. “30 years of KDJ provided me, personally, a way out. But it also provided a way out for a few other people, for me to turn around and help them as well. The best part of that is I could bring my whole team with me that I grew up with."
The SP-404MKII KDJ Records Limited Edition comes loaded with ten banks of exclusive samples and patterns, including six new tracks and four modern KDJ classics. From producing and remixing to performing live, these rare pockets allow fans to hitch a ride on Moodymann's musical express.
The sampler features a high-shine aluminum faceplate that radiates the artistic spirit of KDJ Records, making it a visually striking addition to any collection. Along with the SP-404MKII hardware, fans get a seven-inch vinyl record with never-before-heard edits of “I Think of Saturday” and “Hold It Down,” plus a 60-minute mixtape curated by Moodymann himself.
About the SP-404MKII
Roland SP samplers are the bona fide kings of performance-based beatmaking, with deep features and portable designs that fuel the engines of creators on the move. The SP-404MKII is the latest generation model in the long-running series, delivering ultimate performance with the latest tech advancements and updates inspired by the global SP community. Key features include a vivid OLED display, 17 velocity-sensitive RGB pads, extensive onboard effects, versatile power options, and more.
Availability & Pricing
The Roland SP-404MKII KDJ Records Limited Edition is available now in the U.S. for $599.99."

Yamaha SEQTRAK Live Looping & Visualizer Performance
video upload by MR TUNA Music
"All sounds, sequencing, and visuals from @yamaha #seqtrak! 🏆 Such a fun and actually very capable machine— For this jam I’ve got Seqtrak hosting the Squarp Pyramid through USB as my glorified MIDI channel selector, and then I’m using the @roli_create LUMI Keys SE to connect to Seqtrak through the Pyramid via Bluetooth MIDI (and some @cmepro WIDI Masters) so I can switch between the 3 synth tracks and also bring in the drums live.
I’ve had the Seqtrak for a week and it’s melding the Tunaverse together in ways I could not have imagined… The live visualizer is very interesting and surprisingly deep. This is a customized program I built and I love the results but I’m really looking forward to putting it through the video synth 🦾🦾🦾"

Chroma Console Performance W/ Mother 32 + Minilogue + Digitakt
video upload by Hologram Electronics
"In this short jam, we've got the Korg Minilogue and Moog Mother 32 routed into the Digitakt II's external inputs. Those two instruments, alongside all the samples and patterns on the Digitakt, are getting sent to Chroma Console to glue it all together.
Extra patch notes below:
1. At the upper end of Sweeten's Amount knob, you'll start to get some really nice soft saturation, perfect for getting that "already mastered" type of analog sound. Adjusting Sensitivity (secondary control of Tilt knob) allows you to dial in just the right amount of saturation for your mix.
2. Done this before in other demos, but it's really useful; if you turn Drift up on the Pitch effect and put the rate knob at 50%, your signal isn't getting pitch shifted, but you'll still get some random/subtle pitch modulation that's very tape-like. Makes the synth sounds like the oscillators are on the verge of drifting out of sync in a cool way.
3. Delay on a whole mix can be cool, so we used Cascade here. Syncs perfectly to MIDI tempo and just adds some nice rhythmic syncopation to the whole thing.
4. Cassette adds more saturation, compression, and tape-like modulation. It's dialed in pretty low here, but the Cassette effect in this form helps add that slightly-uneven result to sound processing that analog gear is often so revered for."

UDO Super 8 - The Sequencer
video upload by UDO Audio
"One of the standout features of both the Super 8 and Super Gemini is how seamlessly you can blend their layers to create rich, complex sounds and performances. A great way to explore this potential is by using the built-in sequencer, as Hazel skillfully demonstrates in this video. By playing the layers against each other and tweaking how they interact using controls like clock division and the keyboard’s split function, you can discover just how expressive, powerful, and enjoyable these instruments are to play.

"At Machina Bristronica 2024, we caught up with Gaz from Big T Music - The range includes one-to-one replications of Mutable Instruments' designs, like Veils and Stages, and also unique adaptations such as the Beehive, a compact version of Plaits. Gaz noted that some designs include expanded features with different firmware, enhancing the default functionalities while maintaining a distinct aesthetic.
Their interpretation of Monsoon brings hidden functions to the forefront, thanks to collaborative efforts, including input from designer Jonathan Barnbrook."
