Melbourne Instruments NINA Multi-Track Sequencer Patterns by The Unperson

NINA Multi-Track Sequencer Patterns by The Unperson Melbourne Instruments Polyphonic Synth Groovebox video upload by Melbourne Instruments

"The Unperson explores some of the patterns he created for NINA's Multi-Track sequencer update. His patterns and sound are marked by crunchy, wobbly tones, saturated layers, and a touch of melancholy, offering an evocative listening experience. Inspired by unusual sounds and the art of sound design, The Unperson crafts patterns that explore texture and emotion, finding harmony between the unexpected and the familiar. All sounds and patterns created in this video were made exclusively with NINA's multi-track sequencer update.

NINA’s new multi-track sequencer delivers next-gen groovebox power with four independent polyrhythmic, polyphonic tracks. With per-step automation and motorized control, it brings hands-on precision to sequencing. This supercharges NINA’s analog synth engine, unlocking deeper performance possibilities. Add 64 new noise types — from percussive hits to loopable metallic textures and you’ve got a powerful tool for expressive sound design and dynamic rhythm creation.

Working with Ableton Live Racks and Macros: Roto-Control 2.0 Firmware Melbourne Instruments

video upload by Melbourne Instruments

"When working with Ableton Live racks and macros with Roto-Control 2.0 firmware, all instruments and effects racks will default to automatic macro mapping, whereby macro controls and names will be automatically detected by Roto-Control and mapped to Roto's knobs — indicated with light blue colored labels. This is applicable for all racks; instrument, drum, audio effects and MIDI effect racks, This also applies to individual racks that you may have made.

To disable automatic macro mapping and further customize displays, labels and haptics, press LEARN and begin to map knobs accordingly, as you would when learning other plugins and devices parameters. Pressing LEARN will disable the automatic mapping for that specific rack/macro. Manually mapped controls default to dark blue labels. Once you start to manually map knobs; colors, names and haptics can be further customized in the Roto-Setup App.

To return to automatic macro mapping for that specific rack/macro, CLEAR all manually mapped controls. Press LEARN, keep it pressed and touch the knob on Roto-Control you want to clear. There will be a prompt to CLEAR, touch the knob again to CLEAR the mapping.

IMPORTANT: Each rack must have a UNIQUE NAME. Racks with the default names Instrument Rack, Audio Effect Rack, MIDI Effect Rack and Drum Rack cannot be customized with the LEARN button – they must be renamed first. This is to ensure plugins saved to Roto-Control memory are unique and separate.

Melbourne Instruments NINA - Firmware Update - Multi-Track Sequencer!

video upload by The Unperson

"In today's video I am exploring the latest firmware update for the Melbourne Instruments Nina which radically expands the sequencer from a quite basic 16-step sequencer into a multi-timbral, multi-track sequencer with an insane amount of new features. There is per-step parameter locking, loads of new noise hits for making percussion, as well as live recording making it incredibly easy to perform modulations and visually see what is being modulated.

"A widescreen drone created with the excellent Graintopia script on the Norns with major controls mapped to the Roto-Control from Melbourne Instruments.. Bass reinforcement from the CPM DS2.

Graintopia operates in an area somewhere between tape music and granular synthesis with a dash of chance thrown in for good measure. Which suits me just fine.

Norns shield output is a little noisier than I would like but let's call that character.

There are no external effects in play on this take."

Complex System

video upload by Memetune Studio

"I was wanting a way of setting up an interactive environment to record sounds from some modular systems which could be the basis for some improvised performance based sound explorations

I figured that if I set up some cybersynth patches (ie patches that are evolving by themselves in some way, or are at least dynamically varied over time) and could record some long stereo samples (loops) that could be manipulated live, this might be an interesting thing to do

It occurred to me that the Octatrack, which I got a few years ago and use as a granulating sample mangler, might be perfect to pair with the modulars in this way

The thing about the Octatrack is that it is so unbelievably deep and sophisticated that it can be very difficult to set things up on. I see it as a truly Complex System (AI Overview definition: Complex systems are characterized by numerous interacting parts and emergent behaviors that are not readily predictable from the individual components) and the user manual is utterly hopeless beyond a very basic overview

With the Octatrack you have to basically tell it what you want to do for any given situation. You create a personalised environment inside it and then work within the limitations you set yourself. You have to think of a setup that you want to create, then you build it for yourself using all the different components. In other words, it's not a preset environment that does a few specific things, you have to decide what you want then make it yourself

So I thought it would be useful to have 4 stereo 'Tape Machines' that can be manipulated in real time, with control over the following in each: Pitch, Playback Speed (Timestretch), Direction (forward / reverse) basic Filtering (bandpass) and Delay with feedback. All the things you might find in a Musique Concrete studio in the 1950s (with the addition of granular timetretching)

I might do a more detailed breakdown of the Octatrack patch in the future, but I wanted to live with this setup for a while and make sure it does everything I want it to do in the most efficient way first

This is my first experiment with it, using the Buchla 200. There are two stereo outs from the Buchla - two independent patches running concurrently - going into the Octatrack's dual stereo inputs. These are then fed into the four "tape machines" I created in the Octatrack, which mixes them into one stereo output along with the two live feeds from the Buchla (so what you are hearing is a live mix of the Buchla's 2 voices plus 4 tape loops (30 seconds each) recorded as we go along from the Buchla. As I said, its a complex system 😁"

NINA SESSIONS featuring THE NIGHT TERRORS

video upload by Melbourne Instruments

The Night Terrors are a Melbourne-based electronic music duo consisting of Miles Brown and Sarah Lim. Often billed as 'Australian Electro Goth Legends', The Night Terrors recently released their fourth album titled 'Hypnotica - Composition for Theremin and Electronic Music Synthesizer' featuring Miles on Theremin, Synthesizer and Programming, and Sarah on Synthesizer. For this recording we asked Miles and Sarah to choose two compositions from the new album to perform using two NINAs, and of course Miles' Moog Theremin.

In the two songs featured here Miles uses NINA's 12 voice 4-part Multi-timbral ability to control three layers via DAW and one layer via Keyboard controller (Novation SL61). Throughout the performance Miles is using DAW automation to Morph the A/B patches of each layer. Sarah controls the second NINA with her trusted Korg Krome EX 73, using multi-timbral splits and layers. The Theremin is doing it's own thing - not connected to NINA or any other devices. To get that 'hypnotic vintage horror synth' feel, Miles and Sarah created their own NINA presets as well as using original factory presets. With the exception of the Theremin and some percussion, all sounds are generated by the two NINAs used during the recording. Watch the full performance now"
