Molli Looper mangling the Elektron Syntakt

video upload by Elastic Instruments (Oliver Greschke)

"Molli Looper 🔁 – the looper that never forgets! Available on iOS, Mac & PC.

In this video the Elektron Syntakt goes into an Arturia Audiofuse soundcard which is connected to my iPhone. The iOS app AUM is receiving Audio from the Syntakt and Molli Looper is running as AUv3 effect on the Audio Input with the Elektron Syntakt.

Molli Looper is a realtime stereo effect for looping and filtering. Intended mainly as an easy to use live performance tool, no preparation is needed to trigger loop recording - input is constantly recorded in the background to be triggered whenever it is needed.

PlantsSystem-ALGOR05

video upload by plantssystem

"'ALGOR05' is an interactive composition by PlantsSystem. It was constructed by controlling the sound flow generated in real time using the composition tool 'M' via VNC operation on an iPod Touch.

The compact iPod Touch fits naturally on top of the Prophet-5, functioning as an interface where the boundaries between digital and analog, virtual and physical, intersect. The sound image born at the moment when the performer's control and the autonomy of the algorithm intersect is precise yet somehow evocative of organic breathing."

PlantsSystem-U・O

video upload by plantssystem

"PlantsSystem latest track, 'U・O' is an experimental electronic piece created using the iOS app Sector. Rhythms and melodies constantly transform, like sound particles reconstructing within a circle. Amidst the flow of sound, where randomness and order intertwine, fragments of the sound of YMO flash back at unexpected moments—a nostalgia evoking memories of techno pop, yet simultaneously a futuristic surge of electronic sound. This track is a vivid demonstration by PlantsSystem of the poetry of sound born from the randomness of digital technology."

PlantsSystem-JAM

video upload by plantssystem

"PlantsSystem 'JAM' is a groove track that revolves around a minimalist loop structure. The hard beats and repetitive organic samples woven using the MPC-2000 create a simple yet addictive rhythmic space. The aesthetics of blank space and impulsive repetition create a 'music of the moment' that rings out between them."

PlantsSystem-GranCho

video upload by plantssystem

"PlantsSystem – GranCho
Microscopic particles swell, resonate, and eventually melt into a single flow.
'GranCho' is an experimental soundtrack by PlantsSystem, combining elements of 'Granular' and 'Chorus'.
The sound, woven with granular modulation that distorts time and space and deeply enveloping harmonic processing, evokes a sense of floating between electronic and natural.
The interplay of stillness and movement, structure and decay, reveals a different expression with every listen. Digital yet organic—PlantsSystem enters a new sonic realm."

Control Synths from Your Phone: Piano Improv on Blade Runner Riff | iOS MIDI (Beta)

video upload by Cristián R. Villagra

"Live piano improvisation over synth riffs driven by my in-development iOS MIDI control app (no name yet). The app sends MIDI to my computer to play arpeggiators and tweak sound parameters in real time (filters, tone, mix, FX) using on-screen faders, knobs, XY pads, mini keyboards, and pitch bend.

Session routing (Kontakt):
• CH1: Noire Piano — played from Arturia KeyLab 88 Mk3
• CH2: Two synths — driven by the app’s Bass Arpeggiator (riff inspired by Vangelis’ Blade Runner theme)
• CH3: Lead synth — performed from the app’s mini keyboard
• CH4: Minimal electronic drums — driven by a second arpeggiator

Why this app? Many keyboards I use on stage have few (or zero) surface controls—sometimes not even pitch bend—so I built a mobile controller to unlock hands-on control: shape filters, automate movements, morph textures, balance layers, and keep playing fluidly. If this helps me, I know it can help other players too.

This video is a 6-minute+ live jam to show the workflow: arpeggiators keeping motion underneath while I improvise on piano and ride parameters on Page 2 of my scene (faders/knobs/XY). The app is still in development and I plan to release it as soon as possible.

If you’re into MIDI control, live keys, or sound design, tell me what you’d like this app to do next—your feedback will shape the release.

Block Rockin' Beats/The Chemical Brothers (Circuit Tracks Version)

video upload by Guinan

"'Back with another one of those block rockin' beats.....'
I've been searching around for an ideal Chemical Brothers track to recreate on the Circuit Tracks when up popped one of my favourite channels, ‪@smallplatesmusic‬ with a video about this classic 1997 song off the album "Dig Your Own Hole'. I've loved the band since their 'Dust Brother'/Playstation 1 days and this mix of jazz, hip-hop and breakbeats blended with their signature synths is a true anthem. (plus check out another great band, 23 Skidoo's track 'Coup' for possible 'inpiration')

See the video here [below] for his fascinating deep dive into all of the samples used and the history behind them. Highly, highly recommend for any music fan...plus also some great Koala Sample App recreations too!

After commenting I was offered access to the Koala track shown in the video, and many of the samples in this recreation come from that version. Mark this up as my first collaboration on this channel! Huge thanks for the inspiration and help ‪@smallplatesmusic‬

What you hear was all recreated on a single Novation Circuit Tracks with the drum tracks used to sequence the various samples, augmented with synth lines to underpin the sound when needed. It was recorded straight from the audio outs into a Zoom L6 without any extra synths or effects.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it and stay tuned!

More details for synth nerds.

BPM 109.
Synth 1 - sawtooth bass synth
Synth 2 - distorted PWM saw patch playing chords and stabs
Drum 1 - drum loops
Drum 2 - sequenced bass note samples
Drum 3 - vocal snatches and pitched gunshot(!) samples
Drum 4 - crash cymbal and 707 open and closed hihats"

Making a 5/4 Beat in Patterning 3 Using Nature Sounds

video upload by Olympia Noise Co.

"Making a 5/4 beat in Patterning 3: Drum Machine using only nature sounds—(almost) no talking, just the creative process.

In this video, I create a rhythm in 5/4 time signature using Patterning 3 : Drum Machine and nature samples. All the sounds were collected in a temperate rainforest in the Pacific Northwest by touching trees, lichen, moss, and ferns. Yup.

Patterning 3 is a circular drum machine for iOS that makes working with unusual time signatures intuitive and fun. The 5/4 meter gives this beat an interesting, off-kilter groove.

Perfect for producers looking for Patterning 3 workflow inspiration
• Anyone interested in unusual time signatures
• Fans of ambient and organic beat-making

Mother Global Settings Editor for the Moog Grandmother and Matriarch by DIRE Studio

via DIRE Studio

"The proper Grandmother and Matriarch editor has landed.

Mother Global Settings is an intuitive editor for Moog's Grandmother and Matriarch synthesizers. Sporting a 500-series rack inspired control-per-function interface, it's a huge improvement over the quirky global settings editing method of these instruments.
For Mac and iPad.

Supports the creative flow.

Each setting is accessible with two clicks/taps at maximum, allowing you to concentrate on creating your music. Actual values are instantly visible on the screen, which may also prevent a disaster by letting you see output voltage levels. And we have added octave buttons to easily set and check keyboard transposition, as well as a sequence selector override for the Matriarch, letting you quickly switch to any sequence — not just adjacent ones.

Expanded control panel.

Separate items for oscillator frequency ranges on the Matriarch. Fine grained control over MIDI output and local control. Extra glide toggle and arp/seq gate length settings managed by the app. And a panic button in case the synth goes rebel.

Presets.

Save all global settings, as well as our extra settings, into files that you can archive with other project material or share with others. Quickly recall them when needed. And of course you can reset all settings to factory defaults.

Keyboard control.

Keyboard shortcuts for settings affecting synthesizer parameters that you may wish to change during live performance or recording: Gate Length, Swing, FW/BW End Note Repeat, Allow Seq Random Repeat, Delay Seq Change, Pitch Variance, Gated Glide, Legato Glide, Paraphonic Unison, Update Unison on Note-Off, Noise Filter Cutoff, Delay Filter Brightness and Multi Trig.

Equally at home on stage and in the studio.

Direct USB connection for the fastest operation and complete auto-detection — perfect for live performance. 5-pin MIDI support for connecting via MIDI interfaces — and even through MIDI routers — allows you to integrate the app into complex studio setups."
