Automatic Gainsay Synth Demonstration Music

Published on Jul 3, 2019 AutomaticGainsay

"Most of the intro and outro themes used in Automatic Gainsay synthesizer demonstrations are original compositions and performances by Marc Doty where the synth being featured in the demonstration is used to provide all of the elements of the theme.

These themes are usually largely improvised multitrack recordings atop drums provided by live performances, sequenced synthesizer drum sources, or manipulated and edited GarageBand loops.

Here are the Automatic Gainsay synthesizer demonstration themes from 2006 through 2011. Most of these themes focus on a single synthesizer used as the tonal source for the entire theme. The drums are often live performances by Marc Doty or Pat Simmons. Electric guitar is usually provided by Klayton Giese.

WIDI-XU “Flash Disk-Like” Wireless MIDI Interface

"CME is proud to announce the WIDI-XU, the world’s first “flash disk-like” wireless MIDI interface. The WIDI-XU is the smallest member of the WIDI family, needing no MIDI IN/OUT port -- just an USB plug. Simply plug it into your computer, to enable wireless Duplex MIDI data transfer with other CME WIDI products. The WIDI-XU is quite compact and cheap, making it a great choice as a wireless MIDI system for computer use. The WIDI-XU even provides one-to-multi communication; one WIDI-XU can connect to many wireless MIDI devices, up to 64 MIDI channels. The WIDI-XU also has the same capability as other larger WIDI products, for example: 80m maximum wireless range, powerful error correction with automatic notes-off and on-line detection etc. Free yourself from the restrictions of the MIDI cable! For a musician, the WIDI-XU should be an indispensable piece of hardware, just like a flash disk. When musicians come together, turn on your WIDI, and start a wireless MIDI party.

"I’ve came up with the idea of this device during a long flight, when my iPod earbuds (the standard white ones) got caught up yet again. The wires of this manufacturer are covered with special rubber that grants the earbuds a unique feature: they do not fracture or bend; they just intertwine endlessly, which prolongs their lifespan and prevents contact damage. Therefore, in a typical coincidence, my wire intertwined many times and I noticed that it resembled a complex multidimensional wave. The concept of the machine came across my mind at once: a machine that would deliberately intertwine this kind of wire in different ways, then a camera would digitize it and a special algorithm would transform the result in a parametric graph controlling different parameters of sound synthesis.

The device ‘Volnovod’ is a result. I think of this device as a hybrid machine, which combines a kinetic sound sculpture and a unique controller/tool. It bases on the concept of some small phenomenon being adapted, raised and automatized. Thus, a very peculiar for me combination of a tangible wave and depending on it soundwaves worked out.

The device operates in automatic mode, semi-automatic mode or manual mode. Two stepper motors constantly turn and intertwine the wire, moulding different types of waves. Motors operate in accordance with the random numbers-based program and randomly change the direction. Still they rotate within the preset number of steps range to prevent the wire from over-intertwining. The camera shoots a wire in front of a black background, which makes possible to achieve the highest picture contrast. Nine wave pictures are saved. Later they can be updated in automatic mode or refiled manually in semi-automatic mode or manual mode. These nine shots then morph into graphic tables with resolution of 270 x 240 points. The tables are the base to control sound synthesis options. The program can generate parameters in any suitable format: MIDI, OSC, CV. It allows to use it freely as within the system as with external devices. Graphs reading can be written down automatically or manually, with different velocity in many directions. The wave form can also put to use as a harmonic oscillator wave (akin to wavetable synthesis).

Working with Ableton Live Racks and Macros: Roto-Control 2.0 Firmware Melbourne Instruments

video upload by Melbourne Instruments

"When working with Ableton Live racks and macros with Roto-Control 2.0 firmware, all instruments and effects racks will default to automatic macro mapping, whereby macro controls and names will be automatically detected by Roto-Control and mapped to Roto's knobs — indicated with light blue colored labels. This is applicable for all racks; instrument, drum, audio effects and MIDI effect racks, This also applies to individual racks that you may have made.

To disable automatic macro mapping and further customize displays, labels and haptics, press LEARN and begin to map knobs accordingly, as you would when learning other plugins and devices parameters. Pressing LEARN will disable the automatic mapping for that specific rack/macro. Manually mapped controls default to dark blue labels. Once you start to manually map knobs; colors, names and haptics can be further customized in the Roto-Setup App.

To return to automatic macro mapping for that specific rack/macro, CLEAR all manually mapped controls. Press LEARN, keep it pressed and touch the knob on Roto-Control you want to clear. There will be a prompt to CLEAR, touch the knob again to CLEAR the mapping.

IMPORTANT: Each rack must have a UNIQUE NAME. Racks with the default names Instrument Rack, Audio Effect Rack, MIDI Effect Rack and Drum Rack cannot be customized with the LEARN button – they must be renamed first. This is to ensure plugins saved to Roto-Control memory are unique and separate.

1. The Stylophone Gen X-1: The Theme from Toast of London

"Here is Matt Berry's 'Take My Hand,' otherwise known as the theme from Toast of London realized entirely via multitracking an analog Stylophone Gen X-1 over drums.

The Gen X-1 is a shockingly versatile Stylophone at the same time as being a delightfully fun analog synthesizer.

Of course, you should also check out Toast of London if you can view it on television, or on Netflix if you cannot. Not only is it sublime comedy, but Matt Berry's accompanying music is fantastic... and not just because it is often analog-synth-laden.

KNAS EKDAHL QAUD MASSAGER QUADRAPHONIC VCA / MIXER / LFO Pan Autopan

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via eBay

"The Ekdahl Quad Massager is a quad VCA, joystick-controlled mixer / quadrophonic panner for Audio or CV. It comes with a voltage-controlled quadrature sine LFO and no less than 18 x 1/4" ins and outs.

In short, the Ekdahl Quad Massager can be used to "move" a signal on a 2-dimensional surface, giving the effect of quadrophonic panning. In reality, the joystick position only sets the volume of the four outputs. At center position all outputs are at their maximum output volume, the further the joystick moves from the center, the less the amplitude of the opposed outputs of the travel.

Each output is controlled by a VCA, each VCA has one signal input, one signal output and one CV input. If connected, the direct CV input breaks the connection to the joystick and LFO routing so that the VCA can be used as stand-alone. The Ekdahl Quad Massager also has CV inputs for both the X and Y axis, serving the same function as the joystick movements.

The Ekdahl Quad Massager is equipped with a voltage-controlled quadrature LFO that can give both sine and cosine outputs. Traditionally, the LFO is used to move the sound in circular or elliptical patterns as well as back and forth along either the X or Y axis. The LFO also has two CV outputs (Sine / Cosine) and one CV input (Speed). The X and Y axises CV input goes full range on +/-2.5V, the direct VCA CV inputs reacts to 0-5V.

Example 1 - Setup for quadrophonic panning from a monophonic source
VCA A In - whatever sound you wanna pan
VCA A Out - Left front speaker
VCA B Out - Right front speaker
VCA C Out - Left rear speaker
VCA D Out - Right rear speaker
Combination Out - subwoofer (optional)

Use:
Manual panning: set the "cosine to y" knob to 0 and the "sine to x" knob to 0 and move the joystick around.
Automatic panning: to have automatic panning controlled by the internal LFO, set for example the "cosine to y" knob to 25% and the "sine to x" knob to 25% and set the "LFO Speed" knob to 25% - this will create circular panning. By changing the "cosine to y" knob and "sine to x" knob to different values from eachother, eliptical panning movements will result. By setting either knob to 0, panning will only happen either left-to-right or front-to-back.

Note about patching: by putting an audio cable into the "VCA A In" jack and leaving the "VCA B In", "VCA C In" and "VCA D In" jack disconnected, the audio from the "VCA A In" jack will automatically be connected to the other inputs - it's like if you had four cables, from the same source going to the four inputs. The way it works is quite simple: audio from "VCA A In" goes to "VCA B In" which in turn goes to "VCA C in" which then goes to "VCA D In", this means that if you connect two sources, one to "VCA A In" and one to "VCA C In", it works like this:
VCA A In -&gt; VCA B In and VCA C In -&gt; VCA D In

Example 2 - Setup for quadrophonic panning from a stereo source
VCA A In - Audio source left
VCA C In - Audio source right
VCA A Out - Left front
VCA B Out - Left rear
VCA C Out - Right front
VCA D Out - Right rear
Combination Out - subwoofer (optional)
This setup might seem unintuitive to some.

Example 3 - Setup for mixing four audio sources to one monophonic output
VCA A In - Audio source 1
VCA B In - Audio source 2
VCA C In - Audio source 3
VCA D In - Audio source 4
Combination Out - to your amp, mixer, stereo, whatever you got

Example 4 - Setup for having one dedicated sound per speaker in a quadrophonic system, using the joystick as a quadrophonic volume control
VCA A In - Audio source 1
VCA B In - Audio source 2
VCA C In - Audio source 3
VCA D In - Audio source 4
VCA A Out - Speaker 1
VCA B Out - Speaker 2
VCA C Out - Speaker 3
VCA D Out - Speaker 4

Example 5 - Setup for using any or all of the VCAs as a stand-alone unit
Inserting a cable into any of the "VCA [X] CV In" will disconnect the VCA from the joystick action and make it work as a standalone VCA.
VCA A In - Audio source
VCA A Out - To your amp, mixer etc.
VCA A CV In - To your CV-source (ADSR, LFO etc.)

Example 6 - Setup for using any or all of the VCAs as a ringmodulator
Note: This requires the "carrier audio" to be a very loud signal like that of a modular synthesizer, a preamp could be used to bring a line-level signal to the desired volume. This does not result in "true" ring-modulation but is close enough and sounds awesome, no complaining.
VCA A In - Audio source to be ring-modulated
VCA A CV In - Audio source that is the "carrier audio", that controls the modulation
VCA A Out - To your amp, mixer etc.

Example 1 - Setup for quadrophonic panning from a monophonic source
VCA A In - whatever sound you wanna pan
VCA A Out - Left front speaker
VCA B Out - Right front speaker
VCA C Out - Left rear speaker
VCA D Out - Right rear speaker
Combination Out - subwoofer (optional)

Use:
Manual panning: set the "cosine to y" knob to 0 and the "sine to x" knob to 0 and move the joystick around.
Automatic panning: to have automatic panning controlled by the internal LFO, set for example the "cosine to y" knob to 25% and the "sine to x" knob to 25% and set the "LFO Speed" knob to 25% - this will create circular panning. By changing the "cosine to y" knob and "sine to x" knob to different values from eachother, eliptical panning movements will result. By setting either knob to 0, panning will only happen either left-to-right or front-to-back.

PAIA 4780 Sequencer + Two 4770 Power Watt Blocks

via this auction

"In basic terms, a sequencer is simply another control voltage and trigger source. Unlike other controllers, however; it allows the user to pre-program an extended sequence of control voltage variations that can be called up on a command and allows the variations to be executed at speeds beyond human capabilities. In addition to their obvious applications in generating fast arpeggios and automatic bass lines, sequencers can also be used as programmable function generators, counters, or clock sources.

Considerable time and effort has gone into making the PAiA 4780 as versatile as possible without losing the user in a hopeless tangle of operational details. Many of the internal "housekeeping" functions are automatic yet externally available inputs and controls permit by-passing automatic functions in favor of manual control.

The 4780 circuitry is comprised of an Op-amp Integrated Circuits, Transistors, Resistors, Potentiometers, Trimpots, Capacitors, and LEDs. It requires power from an external dual-polarity 9 volt and 18v DC power supply. Control Voltages are input and output via pin (tip) connectors (sockets)."
