"OCTA Shield is a tiny but awesome DIY synthesizer kit from Japan by DigiLogTokyo.
It works as a poly synthesizer(with step seq), or drum machine by swapping software.
"Here we have OCTA from NANO Modules. A set of 4 classic analog drum circuits, authentically taken from the Roland TR-808. We have the kick, snare and both closed & open hi hats. There's added controls, modular volume/drive per track and added section of compression, EQ and side chain envelope following. In this video I take them through classic 808 beats and sounds, expand them with modular mixing and we even turn it into one big pitch tracking (despite lack of pitch CV) bass oscillator ... I don't think anyone will be expecting the doom-laden ambient soundscapes from 808 drums. As always give these patches and ideas a go with your drum modules and enjoy OCTA!"
116 Oneshots 30 Drones Crafted from the Unpredictable This evolving sample pack is a curated collection of sounds generated entirely with the eccentric modular instruments of Ciat Lonbarde. Featuring raw sessions recorded with Peterlin and Plumbutter 2, it offers a unique sonic palette ranging from fractured noise textures to rich ambient drones and abstract one-shots.
The Handcrafted World of Ciat Lonbarde Ciat Lonbarde is the creation of instrument builder and sound thinker Peter Blasser. His designs reject conventional synthesis in favor of circuits that behave like living organisms. These instruments respond with tactile irregularity and voltage-driven nuance. This collection is not a digital imitation. It is the real analog, shaped in real time by touch and signal.
For the Forward-Thinking Producer Whether you’re working in experimental ambient, leftfield techno, cinematic sound design, or simply seeking sonic material that resists the algorithmic polish of modern production, these samples offer tactile character and genuine unpredictability. No two loops are alike. No modulation repeats.
What’s Inside Atmospheric drones Textural noise beds One-shot percussive blips and pulses Select loopable material with musical intent Files designed to inspire both immediate use and deep sampling exploration Free Lifetime Updates Your purchase is not a one-time transaction. This pack is a growing archive. New recordings are added continuously at no extra cost. Previous buyers already have access to the latest updates. If you haven’t joined yet, now is a perfect time.
Listen or Use Several pieces included were composed with musical intent. They can be sampled, reshaped, or simply listened to as drone compositions in their own right. Sound as music. Music as sound."
"jamming with elektron zz machines, preparing liveset, it's been so long !
recorded on 20150531
2 tracks soundboard recording (octatrack and rytm, md/op-1 sent on octa inputs). Octa samples from op-1 and cwejman s1 mk2. raw recording. Forgot to trig lot's of tracks but anyway XD"
"Sound sources:
Drums (3 tracks) Octatrack
Synth Chords (2 bar loop) OP1 recorded into Octa Pickup Machine
Fast Arp Op1 Endless Sequencer
Errythang Else comes for the Modular controlled via Yarns/Octa"
"OCTATRACK AMBIENT SPACE jam with NASA-Samples (Vocal samples), some Octa/GUITAR live Sampling, Noise live play with MS-20 mini through my guitar pedal board
ALL BEAT Loops were created with KORG VOLCA Beats & JOMOX Jazbase 03, All other OCTA loops were made with VOLCA Bass &Keys, ROLAND Juno 60, NORD Modular Rack, WALDORF Pulse & Microwave. 4, 8 and 16-bar Loops are sequenced with RPE SEQ12 matrix sequencer and sampled with Elektron Octatrack.
Alternative Video Filmed with DJI PHANTOM II and my new mini drone Hubsan X4107 at Sächsische Schweiz & Dresden (Germany) and in Schmilka (Czech Republik)
Lots of flight action above the street, landscapes, night flights, my first little crash with the Phantom II (two broken propellers)
I HOPE YOU ENJOY MY LIVE psychedelic space music with VIDEO ART :-) & feel free to ask me if you have any questions
I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST FOR 2015

"Elektron and Nord jam I did in the wee hours last night.
Synth sounds mainly from Nord G2, sub bass tone coming from Waldorf Pulse+, drums mainly from MD plus a distorted bass tone and stab sound from Octa. Octa resampling and filtering."
Elektron Trinity Messaround

"Me having a mess-about on my three machines. Live jam, making it up as I go along.
Monomachine providing 3 synth sounds, Machinedrum doing the beats and the Octatrack resampling.
Only using one track from the 8T, 3 from the MnM and 4 from the MD.
It is more of a "my first vid" than anything special but comments welcome, better stuff to come."
via this auction "This custom piece is part of a folktek series entitled "philanthropoid"". Known simply as the Bug series. Also in the series on the site and around the world is the Mantis, dronescape sequencer,the book of sound, the moth, the growling insect, the bug, the octa-hedra, walking stick, pendulum translator and others. The sound is phenomenol and continues to amaze us. It is a sonic symphony of nasty and grimy sweetness, endless layers of sound possibilities emenating from High quality OSC originally based on high tech speech synthesis. Seemingly random bits can be rediscovered time and time again and then there are those moments that you will most likely never rediscover. Endlessly captivating, this piece WILL provide sounds that you will not find in other synthesizers and will astonish you every time you turn it on.
This particular piece features a custom hardwood box with lid, four patchable knobs, and a twelve point magnetic patchbay. This allows you to determine function and provides tons of flexibility. In addition, two more knobs (global knob control and power kill) , glowing lamp power indicator , 2 folktek button/switches for activate and freeze mode sections, reset, 1/4" output, basic manual of function and layout. You'll be able to cipher through waveforms and textures with extreme sensitivity in thousands of ways. Waveforms (individual, or multiple layers) can be captured and maintained, often intermodulating in beautiful and/or disturbing ways. Super sensitive knobs let you filter through tons of sounds and glitchscapes. Albums are waiting to be created here as the sound is quite different from anything else you'll find..
"One day with the JD-XA... I was preparing a presentation so not much time left for the video itself, but I hope I captured some of the capabilities of the synth. This thing is huge in sound and I was waiting for a hybrid analog/digital synth like this a long time. It IS analog. It is dogital too. And it can give the best of both words If you know how to take it :)
I hope Styleflip will make a layout for this though ;)
In this quick demo every sound (except the few drum samples) and effect comes from the JD-XA which was recorded in to Cubase via a Roland Octa-Capture interface."
"I'm really loving the Mogees (http://mogees.co.uk) and I'm constantly looking around my house and studio for simple ways to grab some unique sounds. I love water, and found a few vessels to began experimenting. The screws ended up being the perfect hit on the water and the bottle. Then I used a magnet to move the screws around inside the plastic bottle. The tin container was stunning to play with and pouring the water sounded the most resonate with rich harmonics (this is the one I sampled into the Phonogene).
I used 2 samples in the Octatrack with 3 variations of each sample being faded between. The Midi tracks on the Octa are being used to send CC's to the Expert Sleepers ES-40 and then distributed throughout the modules. Timing is from the Analog 4 via the Grayscale Synapse.
Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for watching!
A collection of 128 new patches (pad, synth strings, vox, brass pad) all programmed in single layers to guarantee even those who have the 8 voice version of prophet the maximum polyphony.
