Fugue for My Drum Machine (Piano and Electribe ER-1)

video upload by Hank Mason

"The Korg Electribe ER-1 has 4 voltage-controlled oscillators — the exact number needed for a 4-voice fugue. So I wrote one. Because it seemed like one of the dumbest things I could do with a drum machine.

This is a Prelude and Fugue for the ER-1, performed live with piano accompaniment on an early 1900s Krakauer Bros. grand piano.

Bionic Lester MK1.5 : the Black Patchings

video upload by Robotopsy Robotopsy

"Short Audio Demo of the Bionic Lester MK1.5

Slightly Inspired by the Black Paintings of GOYA (nothing to do with this level)

Except for the first patch that contains sounds of Kicks
made with the Slew section of the King Slender
Every sound and samples involve the Bionic Lester MK1.5
Samples are all from feedback sessions
the Bionic Lester MK1.5 is such a playground!!!
Hope this short audio demo will please you"

Side note: I beleive the first mention of the Bionic Lester 1.5 was back in November.

Some additional details:

"This module is a special rerelease of the 'Mark 1' Bionic Lester circuit with the unreleased 'Mark 2' control layout. The Bionic Lester Mark 1 was first released in 2012, and only had one production run. It uses a rare switched-capacitor filter IC with multiple outputs and four operating modes. The character of the overdrive changes with each mode selection and all are distinctive.

DIFFERENCES FROM THE ORIGINAL MODULE:

Reverse power protection
Metal shaft pots, long life
this time ALL of the knobs are MK2 style
Resistor network and opamp package substitutions for compact PCB layout and greater manufacturability
Output mixer and A/B crossfader. A feature from the planned but never designed “Aggro Eddie” expander. Enables more elaborate feedback and overdrive patches.
Features:

Dual 12dB multimode filter
Based around rare and vintage switched capacitor filter IC
Rerelease of Bionic Lester MK1 circuit with MK2 interface and integrated Aggro Eddie mixer expander
Dual CV inputs for filter cutoff of each filter

Synth post-rock and ambient | Three songs with delay and reverb

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
Three different songs focusing on the inspiration of delay and reverb.

MAS Distribution sent over the GFI Solis Ventus, a delay and reverb pedal, for me to try for free. Take that for what you will.

I've already used the Solis Ventus in other video here, so there was no particular need to create a video focused on it. However, I usually explore new gear by just placing it on the table and seeing what comes out. I thought maybe nothing would come of it, or maybe I'd make a single song. In the end, I kept writing more and more with it, all in different styles and genres. The reverbs in the Solis Ventus are fine, but there's some real weirdness and magic in the delays, and they kept delighting and surprising me. In the end, I decided to share three songs with you from these explorations, although there's some more on my Patreon.

00:00 - Post-rock with synths instead of guitar
03:52 - Pure ambient with Pluto
06:17 - Rock starting with L1

Ultimately, what I hope comes through is that effects aren't something simply to colour or smooth over a sound; effects can be the very thing that inspires the songwriting process. That's what happened in all of these instances, and more.

Gear used:
Arturia Astrolab 37 (keys)
GFI Solis Ventus (delay and reverb)
Squier Bass VI (bass-guitar hybrid)
Line 6 Pod Express Bass (for bass amp sim)
Moog Subsequent 37 (mono synth melody)
Novation AFX Station (mono synth lead)
Modern Sounds Pluto (mini euro synth sandbox)
Donner L1 (mono synth random arp)
Godin Session Custom '59 (guitar)
Strymon Iridium (for guitar amp sim)
Union Tone & Transistor Lab (compressor for guitar)
Electro-Voice RE-20 (vocal mic)
Probably more I'm forgetting

Multi-tracked, mixed in the box (except the Pluto song, which was live to stereo out, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master).

"You’re a musician, not a computer programmer. Whether you’re a keyboard player who wants to fire up a searing solo, a guitarist looking for that perfect atmospheric pad, a drummer wanting to trigger massive electronic textures, or a vocalist needing a lush harmonic bed, you shouldn’t have to learn 'synth science' just to get a great sound. Meet ELEMENT One—the 8-voice virtual-analog synthesizer designed to feel like an instrument, not a science project."
