Ambient cascades | Novation Circuit Monostation, Stylophone Gen X-2 and S-1, Vongon pedals, eurorack

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.

TORSO S4 and VONGON REPLAY. Lovely combo.

video upload by keinseier

"The beauty of having access to different devices is they inspire different things. You can't rely on muscle memory and your usual chops.
(If you leave you one device long enough, the same thing happens :) )
Btw, the little jitter on the Replay is by modulating the filter with an LFO with sample and hold."

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.

Elta Solar 42F - arp, sirens, drone chords
Vongon Replay - melody/lead synth
Fieldtone Weaver - sample weirdness 1
Qu-Bit Stardust - sample weirdness 2
Intellijel Swells - reverb on everything
Intellijel Jellymix - mixer

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

VONGON ROSETONES: Beautiful, Polyphonic Resonances

video upload by keinseier

"I love discovering new and inspiring tones. Tones that surprise me - preferably not by layering tons of effects, but achieved much simpler.
Enter the Vongon Rosetones, a polyphonic resonator.
What's happening here: it's hooked up to the Tonverk via MIDI and audio, and MIDI CC's are being changed with the patterns from the Tonverk. In the first part, the percussion from the Tonverk is fed into it as the impulse to excite the resonators, while I play the Replay as a midi keyboard to define the pitches.
In the middle part, the audio from the replay is the input to the Rosetones, which resonates sympatically to the chords. In the third part, it's back to drums exciting the resonators and MIDI control of the pitches. Lots more to be discovered.
And of course, the Rosetones looks beautiful as well."

Stereo Filtered Big Boy Verb (Strymon BigSky MX + Vongon Paragraphs II)

video upload by Duskmos

"In this Signal Colors: Layers, I'm pairing up the Strymon BigSky MX and the Vongon Paragraphs II - a massively spacious reverb processed through an atmospheric panning stereo filter. These two heavy hitters are a powerful duo. Hang out with me while I pair them up with the Teenage Engineering OP-XY!"

Pure, fragile Vongon Replay tones.

video upload by keinseier

"More tones of the Vongon Replay. So simple, yet so versatile. Paired with the Ultrasheer, it makes for a beautiful combo. The ticket to this patch here is filter frequency modulated by LFO in noise shape - you can see all other setting straight on the front panel here.
A hint of eq and some limiting on the master bus, that's it."

QUICK IMPROV WITH OUTGROWTH VST

video upload by keinseier

"The Replay sounds fantastic, but here it just delivered a phrase sample and is acting as a midi controller for Outgrowth, which I have just gotten around to trying. An insane tool. No other effects used here, except for some eg and limiting."
