Novation Summit - Generative ambient & FM synthesis


video upload by No Lake

"One thing that I haven't tried with this synth yet is a good old meditative generative ambient (for those who aren't familiar with the concept, it's a piece of music created itself from an initial set of musical elements and by specific rules defined by the composer and his machine).

So, I created three self-generating patches that play simultaneously at 40BPM and several sequences with modulation frequencies. The three LFOs are now playing ping-pong with each other. Of course, everything follows predefined rules to avoid a complete mess. They just "modulate together" in harmony. It's basically FM synthesis. But FM can be hazardous, eventful or even crazy. It takes time to reach something pleasant and relaxing.

The Novation Summit and the Novation Peak do have a strong FM engine and these synths can be turned into a modular synthesizer. Then I just had to add some real-time effects on everything and off we go.

It might sound easy, "you just ask the synth to play music for you", but there is a lot of preparation that goes into making it all work. It's far from easy. I mean, anybody would do it overnight otherwise. In fact, you can't just snap your fingers, it often takes more time than creating a new song from scratch. But the result is totally different as you can hear. It is therefore more of an exercise in style. Something that I've always wanted to try and I've had this synth for three years now (almost to the day).

Although, my cup of tea is more about creating melodies than planting a seed and waiting for it to germinate, hoping for the best and wrapped in some technical demo. But when it works, it can be very soothing. I almost fell asleep the first time I listened to the final result^^

It's so much fun though and I'm still a big fan of the genre. It creates something different than usual. Something fresh and unpredictable. So, for those who have 20 minutes to spare, I invite you to use headphones, close your eyes and meditate with me in the ethereal world of procedural music."

Novation Summit - Generative ambient & FM synthesis (part 02)

"Just another try with something a bit weirder and some floating notes on the Push. I turned the comments off because I don't want to be like "buying your interest" but if you wanna share something, don't hesitate to do it on part 01 and I'll answer to you with great pleasure.

"Alternate Paradox" (a Death Stranding alternative soundtrack | Novation Summit)


video upload by No Lake

"Such a weird game. Hated by some and idolized by others. But he leaves no one indifferent. And it is an inspiration for new musical creations.
Remixing one of the original tracks wouldn't have made much sense, so I went for a completely new mood and I came up with something totally different but with my signature sound.

Headphones recommended 🎧 (I mean, really^^)"

"My Own Eternity" (original Brussels School electronic ambient music)


video upload by No Lake

"What is Brussels School? I have no idea… but if it existed, I would like it to sound like this.

Something languorous yet captivating.
Electronic yet organic. Deep yet light.

This track can be found on my latest album 'Speaking of Analog', available everywhere. Feel free to ask for free Bandcamp key, just contact me: nolake.music@gmail.com

Headphones 🎧 recommended

The album is composed primarily of analog instruments. This track features a Summit layer, but (and few people know this) the Summit is equipped with analog filters and analog VCAs, so we are not completely far from the initial idea :-)"

Setting Up...


video upload by No Lake

"Just a few words to let you know that I'm still here. I'm currently working on the new era of my music. It's heading in the direction I wanted it to go. I introduced you to the concept of Brussels School, which means everything and nothing, and I realize that it's ultimately something that suits me.

So what's next? I'll gradually introduce you to jams based on this concept. Rather long pieces that take the time to establish an atmosphere. Something absorbing, bewitching, with a hypnotic and almost insidious rhythm. Something along the lines of "Illusion" or "Hypnosis," which were two of the channel's top three hits. I take this as proof that I'm on the right path.

As explained three weeks ago, there will no longer be videos every week. They will arrive when they arrive. The long-term idea is to rework all these jams to create a real album centered around a single philosophy, but this is another story for later.

Wishing you a great day! See you soon.

My set up:
Ableton Live 12
Novation Summit
Moog Sound Studio
(Moog DFAM)
(Moog Subharmonicon)
(Moog Mother-32)
Ableton Push
Novation Launchkey 49
Akai Mini
Sonicware Liven 8Bit Warps

"Elysian Fields" (Moog Subharmonicon & Mother-32 jam)


video upload by No Lake

I wanted to close the year with the best of myself. I don't think I've ever been so psychically invested in a jam. I am in love with both of these machines. Nothing less, nothing more.

I wish you all good times with your family and friends. Cheers everyone, Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all of you!

"Trying to forge a movement, a style, and stay true to the original plan is not easy. The more I work on it, the better I understand it. The more I'm around it, the more I appreciate it. Next year's album is slowly taking shape, note by note. Emotion after emotion. Improvised jam after improvised jam.

Yamaha EX5 Demos by Snupps


videos upload by Snupps Synth channel

Use the player controls to skip through videos.

1.
A demo of a effect sound i made, Under the Name The Abyss, its a strange sound. And only the EX5 can achieve this type of sounds, I used no external FX for this and there is almost no layered tracks, mostly one continous recorded track. I used the AWM/FDSP engine for this, Cheers!
Yamaha EX5 Demo The Abyss 2. Public Transport (Yamaha EX5 Demo)
A ambient track, where i mostly use my Yamaha EX5, and most specifically a sound i made under the name Transporter, which kinda sounds like a bowed string instrument, where i used the FDSP synth engine. I also used my Korg M50 and Kawai K5000s for some more layered sounds. All the sounds were made by me.

Hand-assembled Shruthi-1 - SSM2044 filter

via this auction, cutie.
"This is brand new music synthesizer of mutabile instruments top brand. Synthesizer goes by the sissy name of Luxette, and is of well-respected Shruthi royal family. Unknown color, unable to determine: shiny look, red when looked from right, blue when looked from left, yellow and green when looked from top. Not unlike soap bubble at all or visiting angels from faraway suns. Hencefore warning: scares birds - all kinds of birds specifically vengeful birds! Some parts are of static color: Touchable extremites are darkness and citrus. Rectangular 32-symbols writing area is of same colour as orange-froot, and shiny dots of enlightment that go blink-blink are orange-coloured too. Rooftop of electric music synthesizer can be removed to reveal circuit of colour of dark forces. To ensure maximal cooperation rooftop should not be left open for normal operation, cutie.

Vibrations are above 20 hz and below 18kHz as perceptible by human auditory organs. Emits audio vibrations not suitable for dogs and house ferrets. Emits song of indian accordion, song of japanese fairy violin, song of african sitar, song of irish pagan seductress flute, and song of american ghetto beat box. May emit voice of universally acclaimed composer Emirson Lake Palmeer. Awesome beauty for Duran Duran karaoke too, had a blast with Sharmila Lady-fox the other day on chauffeur song. Does not emit though song of galactic spaceship fleet, song of baby faced by imminent danger, song of mother nation working towards visionary goal, song of purest mathematical abstraction, and soundtrack of enamoured tapir. Sorry for that. Now come here and let the voice of Shruthi entice you. Come closer, come closer and see the kaleidoscope spiral, cutie.

Shruthi synthesizer device does not have two voices, three voices, four voices, or thirty-two voices even, no, no, no: have one glorious voice, but wise proverb says unicorns have one mighty horn too, unlike polycorns. Comes with shiny expensive electronical components shaped like candy pills, shaped like baby spider, shaped like blue-faced deity of vedic times, and first class, top rate, award-winning music filtering spider from SSM company of decadent usa, model reference number 2044. Good for your prosperity, your health and successful wife, but still not good enough for the enamoured tapir sound. Might be okey-dokey for smitten capybara or infatuated alpaca sounds. Dunno-dunno, cutie.

Does have multiple endearing menus on the board, great variety and first rate selection of options from all eras : vibrating strings, filtration, the little algebraic curves that go up and down and up and down forever or just once, interconnections, device that makes musical progression when single key of input device is pressed to emulate well-respected performer of great skills, 64 kbits of memory for the sounds of your wicked conception. Does have little hole on the back to insert sound-trunk-appendage, hencefore songs recorded from microphone, videocassette or educational organ are slowly traveling through Shruthi filtering spider. Does have pair of medium-sized holes with 5 little holes for entrance and exit of so-called "Music Interchange Data Inlet". Come and plug your keyboard instrument, cutie.

Does not have moving part that goes schwiiin schwiiiiin when rainy weather! Does not come with snorkeling equipment for underwater exploration! Does not have matching towel! Does not have off/on/sleep contraption! Output magnitude is eternally programmed to auspicious value of 8.537. Move your ears more more far away from loudspeaker for softer, mellower, little ball of fur song. Comes with energy coupling device suitable for insurgent democratic countries of Westeuropa, voltage label says nine. Can work with other house-hold energy coupling device of other countries, insurgent, decadent or glorious. I think this is all you need to know, cutie."
