Torso S-4 | Pure inspiration (walkthrough)

video upload by Jay Hosking

"A walkthrough of how I'm making songs on the Torso S-4.

00:00 - Song
02:24 - Intro, tape machine
04:38 - Granular
07:36 - Resonator
11:45 - Drive, noise, colour
13:11 - Delay and reverb
15:32 - Drums and performance effects
19:18 - The magic of TEMP
19:56 - Pitched drums
22:43 - Making a pad
27:24 - Fourth track
28:56 - Performing with four tracks
31:14 - Concluding thoughts, USB multitrack out

I bought the Torso S-4 last month, thinking it would be an interesting device for playing with granular ideas with a few loops. As soon as I started playing with it, it was clear I had underestimated just how much more the S-4 is, and how inspiring it is. In fact, I basically never use it as a granular device!

This is probably the single most inspiring piece of hardware I've tried since I discovered the Octatrack. It transforms sounds, it is incredible for performing, and it has that perfect feedback loop between musician and instrument. In just a couple of weeks, I've recorded a whole album with it, which I'll release soon.

This is a walkthrough of how I'm making full songs on the S-4. In reality, four tracks is not quite enough for me to be making full songs, and in the final performances I add extra layers. But as a device to create new sounds, glue tracks together, sketch out a song arrangement, and perform some interesting parameter changes, the S-4 is nothing short of an epiphany for me.

Note that I'm using the 2.0 firmware beta, which is largely the same as the recently released 2.0 firmware. I'm well aware of the internet conversation on the previous firmware of the device, of hardware buttons not having any function and triggering a "coming soon" message, etc. I'm also aware of some quality/build concerns from some S-4 owners. I don't want to discredit any of those complaints, and I'm sure they are valid; but I can only tell you about my individual experience, which was largely flawless aside from a few bugs along the way.

Please also note that this isn't my usual sort of video, but rather one I originally recorded for my Patreon community. I'm having such a good time with the S-4, though, that I really wanted to share it more broadly. I hope you find it useful.

I look forward to sharing the album soon!

Last Ninja 3 (C64) on Analog Rytm: SY CHIP only

video upload by tubesockor

"The C64 SID tune 'Water' from Last Ninja 3 (composed by ⁨‪@ReynOuwehand‬ in 1991) - performed on an Elektron Analog Rytm MkII.
Three tracks of SY CHIP are used, and the original tune was studied in its details to be as close as possible on the Rytm. The recording is directly from the unit, no external processing done.

In some future video, I'll show some details on how the sounds are built up.

And yes, I'm fully aware of Song Mode - but it is more fun to swap patterns manually :)"

Background Modulars No.11 Serge Paperface Again

video upload by Memetune Studio

"Don’t have a real Serge Modular Paperface to hand? No worries! Just put this video on in the background (in full-screen mode), and have the next best thing 😁

Here is 10 minutes of self-playing modular synthesiser randomness. Why not put it on loop - then you can have it playing away in the background while you do other things

A note on the patch: I'm using the LW Gated Comparator and the 2 original Paperface Sequencers (from the mid-70s) to run things - as always with a big Serge patch its virtually impossible to keep track of all the connections - its a very complex system - but I use lots of delays here - the vintage Wilson, plus a brand new Prism Circuits Cascade Delay. There are the old Serge dual spring reverbs in here, and the VC stereo mixer to mix it all up and move it all around. This patch is more melodic, using a Serge format Voltage Quantizer to hold it all together. It's going through my Neve 88D along with some vintage FX units - an AMS RMX16, a Bel BD80S and a Lexicon Model 300"

Rare Triadex Muse Digital Synthesizer with Matching External Speaker

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this eBay listing

Video at the listing while up.

"The Triadex Muse is an early sequencer-based digital synthesizer designed by Edward Fredkin and Marvin Minsky at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1969 and produced in 1972. There were only 300 or so made and hence are very rare. Included with this Muse is the optional External Amplifier/Speaker accessory which is even harder to find.

Condition: The Muse and external speaker were tested - see the video. The basic functions on the Muse work fine. The volume on the External Amplifer works fine as well. Due to my lack of knowledge on how to do so, I did not test the EXT PRE, EXT IN and OUT, nor the KEYBOARD switch on the Muse back. Obviously the EXT SPKR input works fine. On the front, I didn't test the REST and EXTERNAL switch positions.

This Muse was stored in Grandpa Ed's crawl space for the last 40 years. The brushed aluminum is a bit dirty. I cleaned it with mild soap but didn't want to get too aggressive so I'm leaving the restoration to the next owner. There are scratches but nothing too bad. The wood is in good shape but again, scratches. There's a small tear in the blue speaker grill cloth. The Muse slide switches are stiff, but all are functional. They will need to be cleaned and lubed.

Label Information on the Muse back foil label. Hard to read, but I think it says...
MODEL MUSE-1
40 W
No. 010209-117
OK 50 Hz
and on the Speaker...
MODEL AS-1
40 w
No. 00214-120

Korg DW6000 rack mount conversion with editor

video upload by Craig Barnes

"I bought this DW6000 for £100 a few years back, after fixing a few issues and adding an editor it didn't warrant taking up a keyboard space, so I'm converting it to a 19" rack. First thing to do is build a condensed front panel."

Testing patch, from DivKid - Part 2: VASTLY IMPROVED FAKE REVERB FROM RING MOD

video upload by LARIX ELEKTRO

Follow-up to this post.

"This time, I'm not testing the DivKid patch, but my own humble idea.
It's sure, you can improve my idea. I didn't have time to do a better video, because I have to launch a new module this week...

At first, I'll using my Random*Source / SERGE modules.
And then, with my Dual Undula Oscillator. Because the VCO can work like a VCF, and th frequency can go very low.

Hope you will enjoy it :)"

ROLAND SYSTEM 100 + MXR Pitch Transposer/Digital Delay (Restored By Synth Tailor Electronics)

video upload by Synth Tailor Electronics

"Heres a demo of some units we restored , the ROLAND SYSTEM 100 (Model 101, Model 102, Model 103, Model 104) + MXR Pitch Transposer + MXR Digital Delay.

The MXR Pitch Transposer M-129, and the Digital Delay M-113 (both of these units are FOR SALE, if you're interested reach out through our website contact form or email)

HISTORY: The Roland System 100 is a semi-modular analog synth from the mid-1970s, a classic piece of gear that’s still got a cult following. It’s got a gritty, warm sound, perfect for everything from deep basses to wild, experimental noises. The setup includes five main modules: the 101 synthesizer, 102 expander, 103 mixer, 104 sequencer, and 109 speakers. Each module’s got its own vibe, but they’re designed to work together, letting you patch cables to create custom signal paths. The 101’s the core, with a single oscillator, a meaty low-pass filter, and a built-in keyboard. The 102 doubles down, adding another oscillator for fatter sounds. The sequencer’s a standout, letting you craft repetitive patterns that were huge in early electronic music. It’s not as complex as a Moog modular but way more portable and user-friendly for live tweaking. People love it for its hands-on feel and raw, vintage tone.

Discopolis 2.0/Kris Menace & Lifelike (Novation Circuit Tracks Beach Mix)

video upload by Guinan

"I'm travelling so I hope you enjoy some of the slightly different videos I'm posting. This weeks video is a reworking of a track I put out last month following a suggestion by @DerrynGrierson
I wasn't happy with audio/video on the original (see below) so this is a reworking of the same.

Kris Menace & Lifelike have released multiple versions of the track so I feel pretty justified in putting out another mix of the track! I thought however I had to come up with something new so this was re-programmed and then played live on the beach! The line out went straight into a Zoom LiveTrak L6 so everything you hear is just as it was played on the Circuit Tracks 'on the beach'.

It's harder than it looks playing live on a beach (the tide was coming in....). I missed the filter sweep in the track completely! Stay tuned to the end, if you can, to see what a beautiful place this was played at.

Till next time, stay tuned."

Discopolis/Kris Menace & Lifelike (Novation Circuit Tracks Version)
video upload by Guinan

"This week’s track is the 2005 cult club-classic, ‘Discopolis’ by Kris Menace (an alias of DJ Christoph Hoeffel) and Lifelike. Recreating this was suggested by subscriber @DerrynGrierson. Thanks for the excellent suggestion Derryn!

It’s very likely I’ve heard this but it hadn’t been something I’d really noticed. I absolutely LOVE it and it has been a pleasure listening to the (very) numerous mixes and remixes to get an idea as to how to recreate this onto the Novation Circuit Tracks.

It features a very prominent sample from the start of the Italo-disco song 'Another Life' by Kano. Incidentally this sample is also used elsewhere (e.g. by Nero) so you might recognise it. I was able to find and use the same sample and build the song around it.

Everything you hear was programmed and played on the Novation Circuit Tracks. No extra synths/effects were used in the playback and the stereo track has not been remastered or otherwise altered.

I’m trying out a different way of filming/recording these direct to camera so apologies if the video is a bit dark. Almost knocked over the mirrorball too!

I hope you enjoy this track and come back again for other future recreations. Thanks for watching."
