Jörg Schaaf Live at Synthesizermesse Hamburg/Just music

Uploaded on Nov 2, 2009 Jörg Schaaf·21 videos

"Andreas Tofahrn (http://www.tofahrn-foto.de) was so kind taking some moving pictures from my Spectralis 2 live performance in Hamburg. Thanks to Jan Lüthje (Just Music Hamburg) for organisation and catering.
All other songs of my live performance are already covered in other videos here at youtube. So, this is only a small excerpt of the whole concert. I used the skip function of the Spectralis step sequencer for some variations of the tonal sequence. The lighting of the stage was a little bit clumsy so I added some even more clumsy video effects;-)

Radikal Technologies Delta CEP A - one synth oldschool minimal techno track

video upload by Wine&Synths

"When I started to produce music again last year, my old friend Jörg Schaaf was a true supporter and gave me a lot of motivation and inspiration with his extraordinarily creative mind.

So one day, shortly after I decided to get involved with hardware synths again, Jörg sent me one of his Delta CEP A test units for my personal enjoyment.

This video is my way to say thank you.

Delta is undoubtedly an astonishing little sound machine!

The most surprising thing during recording was, that I recorded my vocal as an mp4 on my Iphone. I just swapped it into Live and there was video! It’s not really predictable and every render is a little surprise. But it’s a really effective way to get rhythm into your videos!"

Radikal Technologies

Shot of Jörg Schaaf of Radikal Technologies playing his Spectralis 2 taken from the Noisebug booth next door. The Spectralis 2 is on fine sounding synth. I'll have some video of it at NAMM coming up in the next couple of days. I had a fun talk with Jörg. I love his synths, both the Spectralis line and the Quasimidi Polymorph which I own.

Radikal Technologies at Superbooth 16

Published on Apr 1, 2016 Synthtopia

"At Superbooth 16, Jörg Schaaf of Radikal Technologies gave us a demo of his new Eurorack modules, the Swarm Oscillator and Dual Multimode Filter.

The focus of this video is on the modules sound, and Schaaf demonstrates the huge range of sound possible with his new Euro modules."

RADIKAL TECHNOLOGIES Spectralis Synthesizer

"The Spectralis is more than a synth module with sample-playback and virtual analog sound engines. It''s also a sophisticated drum machine, step and pattern sequencer, and 10-band filter bank.

I first became aware of the Spectralis more than three years ago, just as the German manufacturer Radikal Technologies was pinning down the final details of its design. It sounded fantastic on paper: a digital synthesizer with analog filters, a fixed filter bank, user multisampling, and independent step and pattern sequencers, all in a performance-oriented tabletop module with loads of hands-on control. It promised to be the mother of all groove boxes, but was it too ambitious to be true? During subsequent NAMM shows I was able to see it, touch it, and hear it in action. I liked what I heard, and it appeared to deliver on its promises. At the very least, I knew that Radikal was on the right track.

The Spectralis is the brainchild of Jörg Schaaf, who was instrumental in developing synths for Quasimidi and has recorded and performed with electronic-music superstar Klaus Schulze. The Spectralis is a self-contained production workstation with features that make it attractive for live performance as well as studio use. Like most workstations, it can be used by itself, connected to other MIDI instruments, or installed as part of a computer-based system.

Although the Spectralis has now been shipping since February 2005, its operating system is a work in progress, with new features arriving in dribs and drabs. I downloaded two minor updates while I was writing this review. Since August 2006, the only official operating system has been update 097."

"2 Spectralis patterns and a solosound from the Delta CEP A."

dawn of the swarm interpolator

Published on Sep 1, 2016 Jörg Schaaf

"The RT-311 Swarm Oscillator has a parameter snapshot interpolator, that creates continuous and smooth blends between different snaphots. The Spread pot controls the number of snapshots that get interpolated and the Speed controls the interpolation speed. This is the first demo of it. In the next video you will have the chance listening to the interpolation for the first time. The track in the background is a demo, I created around 10 years ago with the Spectralis and a chorus and phaser fx."

Delta CEP A - using the Morph-function as a sequencer

Published on Feb 10, 2019 Jörg Schaaf

"The Delta CEP A morph function is based on snapshots. A snapshot is a subprogram within a soundprogram. Snapshots can hold variations of the sound or complete different sounds. The snapshots can then morph from one step to the next. Sequencer addicted users can activate a gate signal for each snapshot and use the morph function for sequences.

The DELTA CEP A is a new semimodular musicsynthesizer with monophonic and paraphonic playmodes, preset memories and snapshot automation. The DELTA CEP A is the perfect starting point into the EURORACK world and will become available soon as desktop standalone synthesizer and EURORACK module. The DELTA CEP A works just out of the box without any cable patching. If you are looking for a EURORACK FX unit or for POLYPHONY within your cabinet, you should also have a closer look as well. Are you curious about connectivity with your other gear? The DELTA CEP A has a MIDI interface and connects to every MIDI gear (MIDI sequencers, Keyboards etc.) The desktop version comes with standard 1/4 inch jack inputs and outputs."

Radikal Technologies Delta CEP Set to Ship Next Week

DeltaRND Seq Published on Feb 13, 2019 Jörg Schaaf

"The Delta CEP A's LFO can trigger the ADSR envelope.That works even, when the LFO is set to. Each Random Voltage step will simultaneously create a gate signal. Just hold SHIFT and turn the ADSR section decay knob for a LFO-ADSR Assignment. The shift & decay combination will control the gate time of the LFO ADSR sync signal..

The RND signal is fed into the 1V/OCT input of the Delta's swarm oscillator and the swarm oscillators pitch quantizer is set to a major pentatonic scale.

The sequence starts with a single pitch because the LFO depth is set to 0.

I am using the EFFEXX effect module for modulated delay effects, phasing, reverb and filtering simultaneously in a serial configuration. I used the TAP function of the EFFEXX module to synchronize the delay effects. You can watch me adjusting the delay time after cranking up the LFO speed...

And last, but not least. I have good news. The first Delta CEP As will ship next week. So, the waiting time is over finally. I am very satisfied with our development efforts. Thank you guys for the patience. I hope, you will enjoy the result of our creation."

Blue Touch (Bleeding Fingers Contest) - Radikal Hans Zimmer

"My contribution to the 'Hans Zimmer wants you' contest. The solo voice and solo trumpet stem has been used in this smooth synthesizer track. The track has been produced with the sound and the sequencer of the Radikal Technologies Spectralis synthesizer and recorded through a MoTu Interface in Digital Performer.

When I tried to upload the song, the contest side had server problems. I hope to get the chance to upload the track later to the competition side."

And via Jörg Schaaf on Facebook

"When I heard about the 'Bleeding Finger' Contest of Hans Zimmer, I wondered, whether it is possible to create the whole contribution just with the Radikal Technologies Spectralis synthesizer and it's internal sequencer. I used the solo trumpet stem and in the beginning one section of the solo voice (played pitched down one octave and backwards). All other instruments, samples or programmed sounds are produced by myself.

Currently, it is not possible to upload content to the 'hanszimmerwantsyou.com' page so I hope, I will get the chance later. The deadline is still ahead and the contest should still be opened. I hope, you enjoy my contribution…"

Modwheel Morphing Delta CEP A

video upload by Jörg Schaaf

"Just bought a new MIDI keyboard for my Delta CEP A Synthesizer. I love to control the morphing with a modulation wheel. Here I am using to snapshots for the morphing. The second snapshot not only opens the filter. It also adds more oscillators to the swarm and adds detuning. I am working on a complete video tutorial about snapshot morphing and patch managment."

Superbooth 2021 Walkthrough Tour

Superbooth 2021! Join us for a tour with many synths and modulars! video upload by Wine&Synths

"We were there directly on Wednesday morning and the first thing I did was meet two old friends and former colleagues: Jörg Schaaf from Radikal Technologies and Jürgen Michaelis from Jomox.

After that we worked our way through the aisles and let ourselves drift by the colorful boxes and enticing sounds. I'm afraid that Johannes has been infected with modular fever!

In between we met Herr Schneider, with whom I had already arranged an interview appointment in advance. After we had conscientiously worked through this, especially in terms of accessibility, it started to pour just in time for the start of our outdoor tour. That's why we had to stay a little longer in the Moog tent at the end. On Friday we will continue. Then we want to take a closer look at some devices together with Stefan!"

Radikal Technologies ACC Operator Theme

via Jörg Schaaf of Radikal Technologies on Facebook

"A good synth should sound good even if all FXs are turned off. Everything comes out of a single Accelerator with one expansion card for 8 times multitimbrality. I programmed the drums, the bass and the chords with the step sequencer and played one melody line over that. I tried to recreate a section of the song 'Operator' from 'Midnight Star'..."

canon EOS 500d - first steps

YouTube via SCHAAFJOERG Jörg Schaaf
" I recently bought a canon EOS 500d (Rebel T1i). Just received it two days ago and started some video shootings. I hope, that gives you an impression how nice the quality of the videomode is - and believe me or not - the photoshooting is even better. All scenes have been filmed through a cheap EF 50mm, f1,8 lense. This lense sells for under 100 euro on ebay. I think it is a good starting point for indoor videos.

I choosed the 720p/30fs mode - that gives better results in my opinion than the 1080p mode with 20 f/s.

Come on canon - give us full control over aperture and iso settings and I am just satisfied. Even some cheap bridge cameras already offer that.

The book I am reading is the german "Das Profi-Handbuch zur Canon EOS 500d" book - it contains some good tips and hints for better videos and workarounds for current firmware restrictions.

The music has been recorded on a Radikal Technologies,Inc Spectralis 2 synthesizer straight from the main audio outputs."
