L-1 Synthesizer plays 'Mysterious Galaxy'.

video upload by Aleksei Laman

"This video I made mostly as a demo for L-1 Triple Discrete Midside/Stereo Equalizer/Resonator, L-1 Discrete Midside Microcopressor, L-1 Stereo Clipper.

This Combo: Midside Compressor - Midside EQ - Clipper, provides full control over dynamic, frequencies and loudness - separate for middle and sides. I used it at the master output of the whole mix, and at every instrument I played and sampled. If I had more expirience in making tracks and better studio, I would record better.

I had only two cases, limited quantity of the modules and cables. So I preliminary sampled instruments. Only the bass synth and the Vocoder go live from the modules. Others - from samples.

Drums - 909 kit from Ableton.
Chord instruments - acoustic piano in the break, and background organ were sampled from Korg TR.
Other instruments were sampled from the modules.

Samples played from Ableton. Then mixed in the Stereo Mixer, then to the Midside Compressor, then to the Midside EQ, then to the Clipper, then to record in Soundforge."

"In today's episode we use samples of the Prophet-5, Push 3, and my voice to make a total banger (I hope) from scratch. Auo-Shift on the Push 3 is amazing, I love it, and the Digitakt 2 does too! The Prophet-5 is one of the most sought after synthesizer on the market today, you love it and you don't even know it!

3D t-rex drawn on an analogue oscilloscope 🦖

video upload by Hexial

Curious if what we are hearing is the drawing or modulating the drawing per the video description:

"A 3D animated t-rex drawn on an analogue oscilloscope from 1982, with its redraw frequency modulated by MIDI from ‪@Ableton‬ Live. The amplitude of the audio left & right signals move the X/Y position of the beam which cycles through the vertices of the 3D mesh hundreds/thousands of times a second."

Update via Hexial: "The audio is creating the entire drawing you're seeing, moving the beam across the screen very quickly. The audio frequency is the number of times it's redrawing it per second."

Oscilloscope test #2 ft. Serum

video upload by Hexial

"I'm using 2 synths (Serum) routed into the X and Y axis of the beam, changing pitch/effects with sine waves and saw waves.

Beware, if you listen to it on headphones it might make your brain go weird because it's panned hard left & right 🫠👌"

Rhodonea: Radical Futures Performance Piece

video upload by John C.S. Keston

"On Wednesday, May 8, I debuted a performance piece titled Rhodonea at the Radical Futures conference at University College Cork, Ireland. At the concert I had the privilege of sharing the bill with Brian Bridges, Cárthach Ó Nuanáin, Robin Parmar, and Liz Quirke.

Rhodonea is a series of audiovisual etudes performed as a model of how we might collaborate with near future synthetic entities. Software feeds automated, algorithmic, projected visual cues, tempi, and low frequency oscillations to improvising electronic musicians. The compelling visuals, based on Maurer Roses, suggest melodic, harmonic, and percussive gestures that are modulated by data streaming from the generative animations. Throughout the piece artists adapt to the familiar yet unpredictable graphic scores and corresponding signals. The end result is an impression of how humans might interact with AI in a collaborative and experimental way.

I chose to perform Rhodonea as a soloist although it can be performed by an ensemble of up to four musicians. The generative and improvisational aspects mean that every performance is different than the next, but the piece has a consistent signature that leads the music. This includes modulation corresponding to each rhodonea that is translated into MIDI data and fed to parameters that effect the timbre and other aspects of the instruments. I captured the video below the day after the performance, which illustrates the characteristics of the piece.

For this international performance I used four instruments inside Ableton Live 12 to minimize the gear I needed to travel with. The Ableton instruments I used were Drift, two instances of Meld (a macrosynth new in Live 12), and Collision. In the video below you can see how the generative graphics are manipulating the filter in Drift.

SUPERBOOTH 2024: Ableton - Push

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024, Jesse from Ableton showcased the latest features of the PUSH playing together with synths. The focus has been on enhancing stability, fixing bugs, and integrating new functionalities. At the exhibition, Jesse delved into the realm of modular synthesis, demonstrating the intricate connections between PUSH and modular gear to craft unique musical compositions. By utilizing the expressive pads of *PUSH*, Jesse showcased how modular synths can be controlled and manipulated in real-time, offering a glimpse into the creative possibilities when combining these two technologies.

Jesse's setup featured a Trinity module by Modbap for drums, while showcasing the versatility of the* FH2 for CV generation and the *Expert Sleepers ES3 and ES6 for interfacing with modular gear. The integration of multiple voices, effects, and instruments highlighted the flexibility and power of combining the PUSH with modular synths.
