2 X EMS Universal Sequencer with 2 X EMS Synthi #emsuniversalsequencer #emssynthi #emssynthiaks

"EMS slav squat sessions, part 1.

Universal Sequencer on the right is master and the one on the left is synced to it. Otherwise it’s an equivalent of two Synthi AKS playing side by side."

FARFISA POLYCHROME - 1979
A gigantic instrument with an equally huge sound - was this the ultimate string machine of the era? With 4 independent sections of Divide Down-based instruments with lots of modulation capabilities - our bets are in. The Polychrome uses octave-divider technology to achieve full polyphony meaning you can effectively play a 61 note chord.

It's a big-boned piece of gear, wide and surprisingly deep - it shares the same measurements as the ELKA SYNTHEX but adds a couple of kilos of weight - this to comfortably fit all the circuit boards inside.

We have an additional unit available for purchase - in excellent condition with the original carrying bag included - if you're interested please don't hesitate to contact us for more info, price and photos.

Most of the Farfisa Polychrome specifications are in the video as text already but a quick spec sheet would look like this :

There are four main instrument groups with individual preset sounds that are selectable one at a time

1. Percussive - 6 presets in. all (Piano, Harpsichord, Clavichord and the latest in modern piano emulation - Honky Tonk). This section is equipped with a dedicated filter with Brilliance, Decay and Emphasis parameters, effectively it doubles as a polyphonic synthesizer section.

2. Strings - 1 single preset with 3 octaves selectable simultaneously to form a massively huge string section.

3. Ensemble - 3 Brass preset sounds with an expanded filter section of brilliance and emphasis filter as well as attack and decay controls. There's an error in the video text here : all presets are "free" - meaning you can adjust the parameters of all sounds. You can get a wide variety of sounds here, from synth leads to basses, brassy chords, you name it.

4. Vocal Chorus - Now this is special : 3 haunting choir preset sounds with an additional free mode, with access to Resonance and Cutoff parameters."

"Ableton Air
Inspired by Timeless Techniques
'Air' draws its inspiration from Brian Eno's Music for Airports and the concept of overlapping tape loops. This Ableton Max for Live plugin translates these ideas into a modern generative sequencer, enabling you to explore infinite musical possibilities without repetitive programming.

Effortless Note Generation
Forget the constraints of the piano roll. "Air" generates notes autonomously, creating endless variations of melodies, rhythms, and harmonies. Your music becomes a living, breathing entity that evolves over time, making each moment unique.

Perfect for Experimental and Ambient Music
Whether you're crafting immersive ambient soundscapes, exploring experimental electronica, or composing intricate minimal music, "Air" provides the tools to elevate your creativity. Its generative approach ensures that no two performances are ever the same, offering a fresh perspective with every playback.

Features Designed for Limitless Inspiration
Evolving Sequences: Generate infinitely unique patterns that never repeat.
Customizable Settings: Fine-tune parameters to align with your artistic vision.
Seamless Integration: Designed for Ableton Live users who value creativity and experimentation.

Create Music That Breathes
'Air' is more than a plugin—it's a partner in creation, designed for musicians who embrace unpredictability and seek to push boundaries. Unleash the power of generative composition and let your music take flight."

MLDR JAM 01 - Live 5U Modular Session

video upload by rimela

"Live one-take recording on my 5U modular system.
Drums and sequencer triggers are driven by the Roland TR-505, clocking the patch and shaping the rhythmic flow. Pads and lead lines come from the Moog Muse.
Captured in a single pass - no edits, just the system as it behaved today."

Gyroresonant Scattering - Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave - Self Playing Patch w/ Artmatic Designer

video upload by Tumeni Knobs

"This is a "self playing" or "generative" patch programmed on the Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave. There is no sequencer or arpeggiator or midi used, just a lot of patch programming of the synth. This recording is actually two tracks layered together, each one slightly different. One is a fully hands-off version of the patch, and the other is performance recording where I was turning knobs as it played (mostly saturation, cutoff and resonance). This recording of the patch is in Bm, and each track uses different notes in the scale, with some overlap.

The dynamic range this patch produced was amazing, and in the end it required some heavy EQing to cut the lows out so as not to blow speakers when played at volume. Low cut and high cut filters were applied as well as a standard master bus compressor. It still gets pretty glitchy and grungy at times, but it doesn't clip.

There is a little bit of the 3rd Wave's delay effect that goes in and out, but much of what may sound like a delay effect isn't - it's just the way the patch plays. Valhalla Supermassive, applied in the DAW, totally sends this patch into space. Each track has a different reverb applied.

The animation was created in Artmatic Designer in my usual style, but this time, because I used two audio tracks, I used two video tracks layered as well. The base layer is the "as rendered" version right out of Designer, and the second layer is a copy processed in DaVinci Resolve with the Edge Detect effect. That processed layer is manually programmed to fade in an out on top of the base layer which dramatically changes the visuals.

I have a bunch of works like this, but this one seems next level to me. I've watched it a bunch of times now and always with eyes wide open, ears tingling and mouth agape. Hopefully someone else enjoys it as much as I do. ;-)

Cheers!

P.S. Gyroresonant scattering is a process where charged particles, like electrons, interact with electromagnetic waves in a magnetic field, causing changes in their energy and motion. This interaction can occur in environments such as planetary magnetospheres, affecting the behavior of particles within those regions."

Benge electronic album Orgoustic Plus 30

video upload by Memetune Studio

"There is a new Benge album out today!

It's 30 years since I released my first album. This is a a kind of follow up

In 1995, I decided to set up a small home studio and record an album, using a combination of acoustic and electronic instruments. The result was my debut solo record Electro-Orgoustic Music, which was also the first release on my label Expanding Records

It was the beginning of a lifelong journey, a sonic adventure in which I explored my musical passions, combining old and new equipment, trying to discover my own unique voice with these fascinating instruments. I have followed my instincts and expanded my toolbox, but kept true to my original vision: to surround myself with inspirational tools and live amongst them, using them daily in my work and play

Here, I present to you an album made 30 years on from that debut recording, using a similar cast of instrumental characters, in fact many of the same ones which appeared on the first album

This album was made on the following equipment (asterisk denotes an appearance on the 1995 album):

Moog Modular 3C*
Arp 2500
Buchla 200
EMS VCS3*
Serge Modular
AKAI S950* / S5000 and AX73
Minimoog*
Yamaha CS40M
Korg Lambda
Baby Grand Piano*
Double Bass*
Clarinet*
Drums, Cymbals, Percussions*
Lexicon 224X and PrimeTime-95
AMS RMX16, Quantec QRS
Neve 88D Mixing Console"
