"In case you missed the live stream at the time, made it but would like to watch again, or were even at the in person event itself and wish to relive the beer, pretzel and modulation good times... here's a fresh 4k HD edited version of the OCHD-OBER-FEST event that myself (DivKid), Instruo and Signal Sounds had back in October 2023 to launch the new ochd expander.

I've also just put up a new video with the case and patch that I set up for this event. This was filmed more long form and in detail when I got back home. It's a polyphonic, generative ambient piece that makes use of lots of ochd and it's expander. Check it out here // [below]

The patch that launched the OCHD EXPANDER // Polyphonic Generative Ambient Eurorack Modular

video upload by DivKid

"Here we have a detailed run down of the patch that launched the expander. I brought this case and exact patch back from my journey up to Glasgow for the OCHD-OBER-FEST live event with Instruo in Signal Sounds. We launched the ochd expander at that event and this patch was my demo for that event. Note - you can check out the live event re uploaded and editing in 4k below.

This is patch is a 4 voice, polyphonic generative ambient piece that uses 4 wavetable oscillators into 4 VCAs for heavily modulated chordal sound sources. That is then tone, drive and level modulated before feeding two FX with a novel patch routing. It's highly dynamic, from near silent quiet sections to loud sections. All that dynamism comes from ochd and the ochd expander."

Expert Sleepers Coming to Signal Sounds' First Makker Event

via Signal Sounds, starting with a note on Makker:

" 'Makker' is a Scots word that means 'maker' in English. It's spelling and it's meaning developed and it came to be 'Makar', which is now the term for the Scots Poet Laureate.

In this series of events at Signal Sounds we'll host makers, designers, artists and creators at our new home on Parnie Street for live performances and discussion on their creative process.

We're very pleased to be able to bring Expert Sleepers here for our first event!

They very recently launched the ES-9, a eurorack compatible USB audio interface that's capable of binding hardware and software together in a manner that we don't think has ever been done before.

At this edition of Makker, the creator behind Expert Sleepers, Os, will perform live using the ES-9. We'll then have a patch breakdown, so we can see how the performance was built. You'll have the opportunity to get hands on with one of the ES-9s we have here in the flesh and we'll also have a Q&A at the end.

The event is free but space is limited.

While we realise that many of you who get this mail-out might not be close enough to us to visit in person, we'd welcome those of you who are at our new premises on Parnie Street. The banner above links to a facebook event if you would like to indicate your attendance.


Don't worry though! For those who're not able to see us in person our aim is to document these events so that everyone can benefit from them. More on that soon we hope!
