Sequencer Art II

video upload by John L Rice

"Notes suggested by Alan: C, E, F, G, Bb, C, E, F

The Chladni app used on my iPad for the visuals mimics the nodal patterns that appear on surfaces when modulated at audio frequencies. This was pioneered by Robert Hooke in the late 1600's and by Ernst Chladni in the late 1700's.

Gear used:
Large format modular synth: Synth Tech, Moon Modular, Club Of The Knobs
Yamaha FS1R
Mellotron M4000D Rack
Roland A-88 keyboard controller
Strymon and Lexicon effects

Ambient w/ Field Recordings, Prophet-10, wavestate, Tape Loop | Green Reflection 2025-02-09 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using field recordings from a pond and park, along with the Prophet-10, wavestate, and tape loops. The sounds of waterfowl, water, synthesizers, and a monophonic piano loop blend together to form a rich soundscape.

I edited recordings of sounds from Tokyo's parks and ponds for this piece.

The ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10 is played at a free tempo while being processed with reverb via blueSky.

For the tape loop, I recorded a monophonic piano performance and played it back with reverb and filtering using ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY.

On the wavestate, I perform synth pad sounds that are processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY with filters, transforming them into a lo-fi tone."

"using the lovely o-o-o strip from ‪@infinitedigits‬ with some samples I managed to make...something? the script is pretty great to get some ideas down quickly and still have enough room for performance.

hope you'll like it!"

Banyan: generative ambient through switching loops

video upload by Electrum Modular

"With Disting EX’s multiswitch algo (6 switches, each with 6 inputs and 4 outputs), you can generate long, melodic sequences with just three voltages. By placing the switches in parallel, so their inputs and outputs overlap, and by adding a few feedback loops, the sequence can get quite complex and unpredictable."

GS Music E7 X Digitone 2 : Multitimbral Madness

video upload by SQF

"The E7 is essentially 4 synths in one. Tracks 1-8 on the Digitone 2 are all midi to the E7 using the multitimbral patch capabilities. You can assign 4 midi channels to 4 separate patches and allocate the 7 availalbe voices between them. At times I'm sending up to 3 midi channels at once. I've got filter cuttoff mapped for each midi channel, which is what I'm adjusting on the DN2. It's less button presses than modifying directly on the e7.

If Cerebral Brewing in Denver wants to sponsor me, I'm open."

HISSandaROAR SDC05 - Metallic nature

video upload by FL3SHB4CK

"Almost forgot about this challenge, so here is my rough take on it:
redesign sound for a nature video as an old cartoon and only with metallic sounds.
All sounds are from Basimilus Iteritas Alter (‪@NoiseEngineering‬ ) except for ambiance, made of granularized sample of dry ice metal (H&R ENTROPY)"

Korg Wavestate - "The Magic" (+ Enigma Tribute) Soundset (40 Exclusive Performances)

video upload by LFOstore

"In many cultures, music and magic were considered closely related, and sometimes even inseparable: in several mythologies and teachings, sound is considered the primordial force that underlies the creation of the world, and music was often used in ancient rituals to create a special state of consciousness. In some traditions, each note or sound is considered to have its own magical power, associated with planets, elements or archetypes.

This soundset with 40 exclusive sample-based performances takes full advantage of Korg Wavestate's breakthrough Wave Sequencing technology to create complex, dynamic and ever-changing soundscapes. These presets are carefully crafted by the well-known sound designer, OttO K. Schwarz. The soundset will work with both hardware and software (native) versions of the synthesizer.

Here you will find presets associated with the world of magic, as well as dedicated to the work of one of the brightest representatives of electronic music - Michael Cretu (Enigma). You will find exciting multi-layered pads, exciting transcendental bells, memorable drumloops, bright flutes, unusual atmospheres and much more! The proposed sounds will be appropriate for both studio work and live performances.

In this soundset you will find 40 exclusive sample-based multi-layered presets: 3 ARPs, 6 Atmospheres, 2 Bass, 5 Bells, 6 Drumloops, 2 Flutes, 1 FX, 10 Pads, 3 Sequences and 2 Voices. All presets are royalty-free! The sample bank of 1+ Gb (external samplebank should be stored in the settings). Instructions are included.
