jumble coded

video upload by justin3am

"I was looking for some patch inspiration and decided to use a scanning mixer (Make Noise' Jumbler module) to re-route vocoder channels so the envelop of each band can be routed to the control inputs of other bands. I'm using the Peterlin as the carrier and an old drum loop as the program signal. The rungler out from the Peterlin rotates the channels on the Jumbler, warping the frequency response of the vocoder. I'm using an AnalogFX VXC-2220 for the vocoder here. The Disting mk4 is set to it's frequency shifter algoritm and Beads is doing random repeates."

Alesis Andromeda A6 Concept Drawings

This one is in via Justin3am who had the following to say:

"I cleaned out a storage space in Woodland Hills for Rob Ramply, who formerly worked at Alesis. There happened to be a book of Axel Hartmann's early concept drawings of the Andromeda, so I scanned them."

Which design do you like best?

"A little preview of a new live set. DON"T LISTEN IN HEADPHONES. lol

3am - the rest should be obvious

video upload by justin3am

"Lots to like in this video. Cat cameos, out-of-focus objects from my yard and of course synthesizers. Even some guitar, if that's your thing. I had a lot of fun putting this one together.

Featuring Serge, Buchla and Eurorack modular synthesizers, a Cocoquantus2, Elektron Octatrack, Analog Four, a bunch of effects and all recorded/edited/mixed in Bitwig Studio."

Serge demo 20240108

video upload by justin3am

"I did a demonstration with my Serge+friends modular for the LA Synth Club on Monday, January 8 2024. Unfortunately, the multitrack audio didn't record correctly and the audio the camera captured was bad. Also the camera cut out after like ten minutes. :facepalm:
C'est la vie. I'm just glad we had a nice turnout."

"I colored outside the lines a bit on this one. Clipping, messy.
Some weird acid vibes but mostly just weird.
I got this old Boss mixer with banana jacks for $5. Still figuring out gain staging, lol. Interesting flaws, but I think it works well for this kind of thing."
