some spooky late night music - Eurorack with Monome Kria & Ableton Wavetable

Published on Sep 4, 2018 junklight

"Still loving the old grids.

Kria is a nice sequencer - once you have a grid - Ansible is really good value - two decent sequencers and the Earthsea app as well.

The Ableton wavetable synth continues to be my new favourite wavetable based synth. It was pretty much bottom of my list of reasons to upgrade to 10 - 'why would I need that when I already have a ton of wavetables' but it's ace!"

Warnung Koma

"Koma Warnung" is probably the best warning till now...

In a live studio session exploring some of the possibilities the Koma Elektron Fieldkits have in term of sounddesign, CV manipulation and controlling electronic devices.

Sound only: https://soundcloud.com/sonicrider/kom...

Used gear:
- Koma Fieldkit
- Koma Fieldkit FX
- Korg Arp Odyssey Module
- Reverslandfill Noise (to Fieldkit FX delay in)
- Reverslandfill Creep Cluster (to Fieldkit FX spring in)
- Patchblock (drone)
- Casette "Sirenensignale zur Warnung" (words)
- Mackie mixing console with Tiptop ZSP's (reverb & delay)
- iPhone scanned with electro pick up.

Patch (main approach):
- LFO Fieldkit controls trigger Arp, Motor DIY string, CV sequencer Fieldkit FX (via CV in 1) & radio search.
- Fieldkit: channel 1 (radio), 2 (LFO), 3 (DIY String), 4 (Aux send Mackie "words")
- Fieldkit: aux out to Fieldkit FX Freq Shift in = Bij using the aux switch per channel the sound flows into the Frequency Shifter.
- Fieldkit FX CV sequencer controlled by Fieldkit LFO into CV input 2 "purple" controlling "Freq Shift Amount", "Freq Shift Contorl", "Delay Time" & "Spring Cut Of")
- Fieldkit FX mixer in: 1 (Freq Shift), 2 (Delay), 3 (Spring), 4 (Electro pick up).

Getting to Know Planar 2 - Part 1

Published on Sep 4, 2018 Intellijel

"In this video we start to get to know Planar 2. We check out its controls, inputs and outputs in order to explore some of the possibilities of this versatile module.

With its smoothly responsive precision joystick, Planar 2 facilitates hands-on vector control of two entirely independent sets of outputs (quadrants A-D, and axis X/Y), plus the ability to capture and playback your gestures. Recording your joystick movements enables the creation of organic and complex envelopes, wild and wobbly LFOs, or extended sonic evolutions. It mixes, morphs, routes and pans audio inputs; triggers gates; outputs control voltages and is itself, CV-controllable. Planar2 puts the ‘joy’ back in ‘joystick,’ and the ‘fun’ back in ‘function generator.’ Its multitasking and tactile interface makes it a flexible and unique control device, no matter what your musical genre."
