A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

I enjoyed having the Vongon Solarfaze and Polyphrase on the table for my last jam and left them there on a whim. That was the starting point. Next, I needed to run a synth through them, so I chose the Novation Circuit Monostation. I borrowed the CMS from a friend and had been looking to make some music with it; my opinion is that it's an extremely underrated synth that can do way more than people recognized at the time. And once I had its sequencer running and a bassline queued up, I could hear more of what was needed.

I also recently got a couple of Stylophones, because they are extremely affordable—the S-1 was something like $60 Canadian—and because I like the sound of them. Using the CMS's CV outputs, I sent a second set of sequences to the Gen X-2, which has CV input. I also took advantage of the Gen X-2's beautiful internal delay for cascading performances. The S-1 ended up my improv melody device for the last third of the song.

At this point, I needed reverb but didn't want to add multiple reverb boxes, so I added the Jellymix to act as stereo send to all the synths. For reverb, I chose the Swells, because I currently have it in a case with the Fieldtone Weaver and Qu-Bit Stardust, which can add a lot to a mix through stereo sample mangling. The Stardust is playing something that came from the CMS into Weaver; the Weaver is playing a snippet of my voice.

By this point, I could hear the full song, and it was just a matter of adding a couple of sequences and performing the whole thing. Pretty fun to see how wanting to explore a bit of hardware can lead to a finished song.

Performed and recorded live to a stereo output from the Jellymix, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

MEDITATIONS ON DEATH | Solar 42F, Vongon Replay, Intellijel Swells & Jellymix, Fieldtone Weaver

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware, with the 42F at the centre.

00:00 - Childhood and adolescence
04:10 - Adulthood
08:42 - Senescence

This is perhaps the first of a number of longer-form performances focused on some existential themes. I thought perhaps I might use the Solar 42F for all of them; I may still, but I also don't want to limit myself with any arbitrary rules, so we'll see.

Thanks for listening.

Looking Outside: Synthesizer and Eurorack Performance

video upload by MKustomAudio

"Three tracks created by using standalone synthesizers and eurorack modules. Sequenced from the Squarp Hermod+, I thought about recording everything simultaneously, but I decided to record it in groups to allow for more hands on manipulation of the equipment.

For drums, samples were loaded into the 1010music 'Bitbox Micro' with the following modules also used for processing the summed samples: Make Noise 'QPAS', Xaoc 'Koszalin', Qu Bit 'Mojave' and 'Nautilus', Erica Synths 'Blackhole DSP 2', Qu Bit 'Data Bender' (triggered/modulated using the Make Noise '0-CTRL'), and Noise Engineering 'Librae Legio'.

For synthesizers, the following hardware was used: Sonicware 'Evoke', Korg 'Arp 2600m' and 'Minilogue XD', Sequential 'OB-6 Desktop', Novation 'Peak' and 'Circuit Mono Station'.

Forward Momentum 0:00
Revival 3:59

QU-Bit Bloom V2 – The Eurorack Sequencer That Grows on You

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The QU-Bit Bloom V2 Eurorack Sequencer takes generative sequencing to the next level — with three independent channels, expanded modulation options, and up to 64 steps per pattern. In this deep dive, I explore how each channel (Blue, Green, and Red) works, show how to program sequences, use the modulation output creatively, and reveal some of Bloom’s new tricks for melodic and rhythmic variation.

If you’re into modular synthesis, this update is a big deal — flexible, musical, and seriously fun to use."

WISP - Granular Ambient Modular #17 // Instruo Arbhar, Qu-Bit Mojave, Rhodes

video upload by David Falcon

"noun /wɪsp/
a delicate, thin, and sometimes twisting piece or line of something

Me apetecía algo relajante así que hice una pieza para mí mismo. La idea parte sampleando en el @instruo Arbhar: Rhodes, Piano, Vibráfono, Acordeón, Synth bass y Cuerdas. En mi experiencia, este módulo funciona mejor cuando se samplean frases para luego recorrerlas con su motor en lugar de notas individuales. Lleva a sorpresas y texturas interesantes. En esta jam solo utilicé el vibráfono y el rhodes.

La textura aguda, parecida a una voz, soy yo mismo cantando al micro del @QuBitElectronix Mojave y fijando el búfer. Fui editando el módulo hasta hacerlo funcionar en el tema. La línea de bajo nace en el @MoogSynthesizers Subarmonicon y lo envié al @ShakmatModular Dual Dagger para controlar la dinámica.
En el @WeAreElektron Analog Four añado un Kick, Hi-Hat y dos líneas simples en las frecuencias agudas. También improviso con el Nord con un sonido Rhodes en algunas partes a tiempo real (no he podido montar el vídeo que he hecho en el móvil de esta parte por algun motivo en Davinci Resolve)

Gracias por estar al otro lado!

(eng)
I was in the mood for a relaxing piece so I made one for myself! It started by sampling some new sounds into Arbhar. Rhodes, Piano, Vibraphone, Accordion, Synth bass and Strings. In my experience this module works best when sampling phrases to then sweep around with its engine instead of single notes. It leads to more happy accidents and interesting textures. In this jam only the vibraphone and some rhodes was used.

The high texture vocal-like sound is myself singing into Mojave and locking the buffer. I tweaked the module until I found something that worked. It was mixed with a bass line in the subharmonicon and sent to the Dual Dagger to control the dynamics of the song.
Lastly the Analog Four is adding Kick, Hi-Hat and two simple lines on top. I also improvise with a Nord Rhodes sound on top in some of the parts."
