Lux 🔆 (Erica Synths LXR-02 + Oto Boum Compressor // Ableton Move 1.5 // Arturia Keystep Pro)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"2 minutes, no warning! 🥳
In this video, I really wanted to make use of the 1.5 new features of the Ableton Move like sequencing the different tracks of the Move from another sequencer (Keystep Pro here) and its new Auto Filter effect 🤩 (I was really waiting for these 2 updates!).

So the track starts with DRUMS played and sequenced by the LXR-02, through the Oto Machines Boum stereo analog compressor.
I then introduce the Move by opening the new Auto Filter effect.
The Move is playing some secondary percussions (Track 1), the BASS (Track 2, sequenced by Track 2 of the Keystep Pro), the ARP (Track 3 of the Move, sequenced by Track 3 of the Keystep Pro) and the CHORDS (Track 4 of the Move, sequenced by Track 4 of the Keystep Pro).

So with this setup, I was able to transpose in real-time the instruments played by the Move 😃

Liminal Patch 008 : Ambient Eurorack Modular Exploration

video upload by Botched Creative

"Creaturae Imaginis is a slow-burning descent into tone, texture, and atmosphere—12 minutes of ambient analog synthesis, layered with subtle generative elements. Recorded live to multitrack, each voice was captured in isolation, allowing for extensive post-processing and detailed mixing. The result is a piece that blurs the line between raw performance and sculpted sound design—a meditation on presence, process, and the strange beauty of voltage in motion.

"Through Hills From Sky" synth jam w 0-Coast, Starlab, Arbhar, OB-X8, DFAM, Hydrasynth, Keystep Pro

video upload by Tim Grogan

"Live recorded DAWless synth jam into Pro Tools for mixing purposes only. I wanted to do some music that felt uplifting at a time that I know is emotionally draining and challenging right now, especially for those of us in the U.S. who don't belong to the political cult that's currently in existence.
'Through Hills From Sky' is really meant as a way of saying we'll get through this if we keep our heads up and stay positive, focused on a bigger picture."

Last Pill 💊 (Nymphes + Deco2 // S1 + H90 // Drumbrute Impact + H90 + Pill // Keystep Pro)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"Here's a long video to end 2024 on a high note! 😁 If you want to skip the 'build from scratch', you can jump to 2:00 😉

3 instruments were used for this track:
The Dreadbox Nymphes for the CHORDS and LEAD
The Roland S-1 for the BASS
The Arturia Drumbrute Impact (DBI) for the DRUMS
With everything sequenced by the Arturia Keystep Pro (KSP).

1- The video starts with me recording in STEP mode 3 CHORDS, and setting the pattern's length to 3 steps (Track 3 of the KSP).
2- I then record 2 notes for a 3-step pattern for the BASS (Track 2 of the KSP).
3- I quickly switch to the DRUM pattern recording (Track 1 of the KSP), where I used some of the nice features of the KSP's sequencer (Time Shift, Randomness)
4- For the live performance, it's mainly me transposing in real-time on the KSP and playing with the sound parameters of the 3 instruments (Cutoff, Decay, Reverb etc.).

0:01 Recording the different parts
1:51 Build
2:06 Drop
2:36 Looper break
3:13 Full decay on the KICK
3:25 Opening the decay on the OPEN HIHAT
4:05 Outro"

"Dream of the Mystic Mist" live synth jam w Perkons, Keystep Pro, Take 5, Plaits, Atlantis, XPO

video upload by Tim Grogan

"Synth jam from 10-22-24, performed and recorded live into Pro Tools with no overdubs.

I'm sort of pulsating all around my rig and just full of joy and possibilities performing this. I get swept away quite honestly and just in the moment with the tones and sequences I've set up. 3 basic scenes in this one but lots of variations and options within each one.

Still getting to know the #ericasynths Perkons and I'm really enjoying the sounds and the workflow of it. I'm using the direct outs for each of the 4 voices to record them individually for mix control and adding a touch of reverb and delay (plug-ins) to a couple of the voices.

Main sequence from #arturia Keystep Pro playing the #intellijel Atlantis complete synth voice and a counter sequence playing the #mutableinstruments Plaits. I'm using a #sequentialcircuits Take 5 to manually play a pad created by ‪@GEOSynths‬ called Exodus, with a couple of small tweaks.

I'm also using a #makenoisemusic XPO through their QPAS filter, then through a #4ms dual envelope/filter and finally processed through a #qubitelectronix Nautilus for some cool delay fx.

This jam opens with a sample on the Morphagene I made by recording a little short cue I made in Pro Tools using Arturia Pigments, then recorded that as a splice into Morphagene and triggering its playback from the Keystep Pro."

REPAIR and PLAY Episode 2: *Double Roland Juno 106* Voice Chip Replacement and more

video upload by Big Mag

"A friend of mine brought over a Roland HS60 for repair. I decided to fix up my personal Roland Juno 106s at the same time - then made a track using both of them!

Roland HS60 - basically a Roland Juno 106 with speakers and different button/switch color scheme. Took out the speakers to make the whole thing a little lighter, replaced the voice chips, battery on the CPU, some of the tactile switches.

Roland Juno 106s - Basically the same thing as the HS60 except same exact color scheme as the 106. I believe this model was sold in Japan only while the HS60 was for the US market. Replaced the speakers, needed a new LED display, new battery for CPU.

ELECTRONIC DREAM PLANT WASP DEMO

video upload by Synth Tailor Electronics

"Electronic Dream Plant WASP synthesizer demo for Matt. This WASP was repaired and the ELBY MIDI kit was installed by Synth Tailor Electronics.

All sounds made by the WASP (excluding the percussion made by the Sequential Circuits DRUMTRAKS drum machine + Arturia Keystep Pro controlled sequences via MIDI)

The EDP WASP is a hybrid digital VCO and analogue VCF synthesizer designed by Chris Huggett. the Wasp was released in 1978. Such an interesting little synth, that has a very unique sound. The keybed is a touch sensitive two octave keyboard, that works by sensing skin capacitance, so playing with gloves on is out of the question. The midi kit is a must to install in these units to be able to use in a modern setup."
