Hardware Jams Weekend Challenge - From Scratch (again)

"Osmose and RC-505

Just picked the patches and sorta came up with some vague stuff in my head as I auditioned the patches - then I performed. :-) YMMV"

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."

LOOPER and SYNTH // How Good Can It Be?

video upload by

"BOSS RC-202 DESKTOP LOOPER combined with ARTURIA ASTROLAB emulations of ROLAND JUNO-6 is a fun combination indeed!
First steps with live looping with a synth, just using one track of the looper pedal today and the built-in cheezy drums that serve as a metronome.

Yamaha SK30 soundscape - Dead soul mourning

video upload by MIDERA

"I pulled this SK30 out. Haven't used it in a year? Maybe longer? It's so heavy. I set it up and look at it. For sure I'm going to sell it. I'll drop the price if I have to. It's so big. It's just too damn big.

I turn it on. Some of the sliders are scratchy. Even more evidence it needs to go.

I play it. It sings.

I record this.

I guess I need to keep it.

Boss MD-500 used for chorus
Strymon Volante used for delay
Eventide Blackhole VST used for reverb"

confined spaces #4 - PAiA Moroder

video upload by wildchurch

"Triggering/syncing a PAiA 9700s synth with a Boss DR-220A drum machine, plus a few other things.

While prat-arsing around with the PAiA, using the trigger out of the DR-220 to 'animate' its filters, I got a Giorgio Moroder sort of sound that I quite liked so worked it into a sketch as basis for some future development.

It's a self-playing system thanks to a Kawai Q80 MIDI sequencer running everything, with some MIDI to CV conversions here and there. Rather than detail all the patching, which isn't particularly exciting, here's a list of the gear involved:

Sound sources:
- PAiA 9700s
- Boss DR-220A
- School Rhythmer
- Fred's Lab Buzzzy!

Sound Effects/Processing
- DBX-160X compressor
- Elk EM-13 Analog Echo
- Korg SDD-3300
- Zoom Studio 1204
- Rocktron ProRax CE1 compressor/expander
- Homemade filter box

Clocking/Sequencing
- Kawai Q80
- Audiowerkstatt trigger2midi2trigger
- DIY multiples, clock dividers, ADSRs, trigger to gate convertors

TRIGGER WARNING!
The video is just various clips randomly cobbled together so isn't always in aligned to the sounds, i.e. the lights aren't necessarily flashing at the right moment."
