Serge TKB Fun

YouTube Uploaded by djangosfire on Mar 30, 2012

"Just messing around, getting to know the Serge TKB (Touch Keyboard).

Focussed on a smoother tone this time.

A few patch notes in no particular order:

No filtering

Voice is a single NTO variable waveform out (set to mostly sine)

NTO out through top module of the Wave Multiplier, used as a simple VCA

PCO is patched through a DTG channel for simple voltage controlled FM of NTO

Clock is from DUSG, allowing for external CV of time

TKB is patched to "loop reset" at stage 4

TKB KP (Key Pulse out) is patched to reverse sequencer direction for the duration of any key touch

TKB allows for total sequence length control (starting stage) with each manual key touch

TKB row A is pitch of NTO

TKB 1st step gate out triggers a DTG falling ramp, which is passed through a CV Processor (with 3 different attenuated/tuned inputs - you can see me manually re-patch between the different inputs)

Then the "tuned falling wave" from the CV Pro out is sent through the Quantizer . . . . then back into the NTO for sequence pitch transposition

TKB row C is patched into the DUDG clock to "swing the time"

TKB row D is patched to the DTG CV input, controlling FM amount of PCO into the NTO"

Laurie Speigal & The Hunger Games on Wired

via Wired, where you'll find the full article.

"Laurie Spiegel, who composed a piece featured in The Hunger Games, in her New York apartment in the early 1970s, surrounded by musical equipment.
Photo: Stan Bratman"

"A strange and fascinating piece of abstract electronic music surfaces in a key sequence in The Hunger Games. The track 'Sediment,' used to great effect during the movie’s 'cornucopia scene,' was composed in 1972 by pioneering composer Laurie Spiegel, who used an analog synthesizer [the Electrocomp EML-200] and old-school tape machines to create the sweeping, nine-minute epic."

Korg EMX-1: "Everybody Dance" by Danielle

YouTube Uploaded by TheSynthFreq on Mar 29, 2012

"HI :) 80s funk, old school style track created using the Korg EMX-1. The synth parts were created by using a 6-Osc saw waveform and modulating it slightly with an LFO (Tri) routed to the filter and the patch is gated.
I had to add the cheesy Orch. Hit too, just couldn't help it. hehe
Please enjoy! :)

Korg EMX-1: "In Real Time" by Danielle

Uploaded by TheSynthFreq on Mar 29, 2012

"HI :) New Korg EMX-1 sounds and 80s track. All the synth parts were created using the Korg's waveforms, all parts were created using the "6 Osc" setting. The bass line is also 6-Osc but the amp contour shortened and also gated. Partial mute is also used to remove and add in the synth line in real time.
I also use the arp controller on the left side of the EMX to act as a repeating "trig" in the drum sounds to change add variation. The second synth part I programmed to sound like the famous Gary Numan's "Vox humana" patch. Although the EMX is mono on every synth part, using a midi controller synth allows it to be polyphonic but only externally.

Please Enjoy! :)

:) TSF"

FXpansion Etch Tutorial

YouTube Uploaded by FXpansion on Mar 30, 2012

"FXpansion's Etch is a versatile filtering effect based on DCAM circuit-modelled technology. Etch's dual filters let you switch between 4 models for all manner of fat and warm subtractive tone-shaping, with a comb filter type providing mind-bending psychedelic effects.

Additional distortion and compressor stages are provided for beefing up signals, and FXpansion's TransMod modulation system lets you animate Etch's circuits over time. Use inter-modulating LFOs, envelopes and more to drive the filter cutoffs, distortion level, compression amount or any other parameters. Etch does amazing things to all kinds of audio material and is great for subtle warming, deep tone sculpting, wild sweeps, special effects and experimental sonics.

Availability & Pricing

Etch is available as a download-only product from the FXpansion web shop!
Pricing is USD $99.00, EUR €79.00, GBP £69.00 inc VAT where applicable"

The video demonstrates the basic sound of the unit by itself, then run through a filter (buchla 292c) with the VoS LFO modulating the filter cutoff. The CV1 input is demonstrated using a standard doepfer LFO. It has an attenuator on the panel and controls the rate of the VoS's LFO. CV2 is fed an oscillator signal to modulate the pitch of the VoS. Towards the end of the video some interesting mod and sync effects can be heard utilizing these control inputs."
