Specular Tempus Delay and Reverb with a Crumar Bit99 Analog Synthesizer #shorts #synth #gear #pedal

video upload by Demiurgo

"I've just got a used Specular Tempus, and I'm trying it out here with a Bit 99, an analog synthesizer (often used by Com Truise), made by the Italian Crumar in 1984. On the Specular Tempus pedal, there are different great reverb algorithms, but I found the delay/reverb combinations like the one used in this video are the ST real power.

The Bit 99 has a wonderful filter, and you can listen when I turn up the resonance how the sound becomes sharper, almost metallic. In my opinion, the Specular Tempus adds a lot of character and space to the sound without altering the mood."

Polar Orbit - A Live Synth Jam (Blofeld, reface CP, Specular Tempus)

"Dunno what style this is. It's not really Berlin School, it's clearly not Ambient...
Let's just call it "Indie Electronica", that can't be wrong, right? ^^'
Anyways, I had heaps of fun jamming, hope you'll like enjoy listening too. ;)
================================
For those playing along at home:The key is G major / E minor, the tempo is around 110 BPM. But I'm using the Blofeld's internal clock, and I'm not sure how steady that is.
================================
A view behind the scenes:

So... As some of you may have already heard, I've been busy tinkering again.
But instead of doing something with Arduinos as usual, this time I thought "how hard can coding VSTs be, anyways?".
So I've made my very first VST plugin! I call it the "Arclight".
Nothing too fancy, all it does is take an input note and expand it into a chord.

And that's what you can see in the video: I'm playing my root notes on the QY100, which sends them to my laptop, where they are expanded into chords. Those are passed on to the Blofeld, which does two things:
a) It puts them into its arpeggiator
b) It filters out the lowest note, and uses it for the bass.

The rest is just my normal setup:
Both the Blofeld and the reface CP's audio get passed through the Specular Tempus, and are recorded by my laptop.
================================
More info on the Arclight:

Metaphorically speaking, it illuminates the space around your solo. So that's where the name comes from.

The Arclight creates full voicings for pads and atmos from a single root note. So you can play pads with just one finger, and have a hand free for soloing! Or sequence chords with a simple monophonic sequencer! ...or do something entirely different and feed the output to an arpeggiator. ;-)

If you like, you can try it out for yourself.
I've put it into the download section of my website, the link to that is among the others.
================================
Well then, let's close off the video description with some links:

The Waves That Carry Us - An Ambient / Drone Jam (reface CP, Blofeld, Specular Tempus)

Published on Aug 9, 2019 Lanthan O'Ide

"An ambient jam session with my new reface CP, accompanied with a drone on the Blofeld. And a lot of reverb, of course. ;)
I hope you like it! :D
================================
For those interested in the setup:
The reface CP sends a MIDI signal to the Waldorf Blofeld.
Audio is routed from the Blofeld to the Aux In of the CP, from the CP to the Specular Tempus and on to my audio interface, where it is recorded.

To start the drone I am using the same trick as in "The Night Above The Clouds":
I play a chord and then turn off MIDI receiption on the Blofeld, so that it ignores the "Note Off" command when I let go of the keys.
Then I fade the CP in and continue jamming with the e-piano sound.

Unfortunately, there where some audio dropouts in the recording. I somewhat got to fix them, but I'm afraid they might still be noticeable from time to time. Sorry 'bout that. :(

GFI Clockwork V3 And Specular Reverb V3 With Modor NF-1m

Published on Aug 8, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"The GFI Clockwork V3 and Specular Reverb V3 are stereo delay and reverb pedals with 7 algorithms each. We used the Modor NF-1m synthesizer as a sound source, this digital synthesizer has analog style routing with a formant filter as well as a regular filter. The Clockwork's delay algorithms have some standard digital, analog and multi-tap styles as well as some interesting diffusion and ambient delay types. The Specular Reverb algorithms include standard sounds as well as some more unique sounds like a vocal reverb mode.
