Cast Away (Elektron Digitone // MFB Tanzbar // Roland S-1 // Teenage Engineering KO Sidekick EP 136)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"1 track, 3 machines, a little over 5 minutes. 🎛️

Back with the same setup as *Live at Home 2*: the Elektron Digitone, MFB Tanzbär and Roland S-1. This time, though, it's one continuous piece rather than a collection of patterns and ideas.

All three instruments are connected to the **Teenage Engineering KO II Sidekick EP-136**:
Channel 1: MFB Tanzbär - punchy analog drums
Channel 2: Elektron Digitone - all the synth parts, plus some FM percussion
AUX input: Roland S-1 - Bass

The MIDI chain is pretty straightforward: Digitone to S-1 to Tanzbär.
The Digitone sequences the S-1, while the Tanzbär runs its own internal sequencer.

Things get a little more… unpredictable during the second half of the track, where I start playing around with the Sidekick's Loop effect to create all sorts of drum breaks.

It was an absolute pleasure to play with - perhaps a little too much of a pleasure, judging by how often I kept using it! 😄

But hey, sometimes you find an effect that makes you want to keep pushing it just a little further.

Hope you'll enjoy this one!

As always, the performance was recorded in a single take. I mixed and mastered the individual tracks afterwards in Ableton Live."

Soothing Ambient Synth Meditation | Isochronic Tones for Deep Calm

video upload by Smomid

"Soothing ambient synth meditation, performed live on glowing handmade synthesizers. Gentle isochronic tones, slow pulsing filters and soft bells to help you relax, unwind and find deep calm.

Use this music for meditation, relaxation, stress relief, yoga, studying, focus, or winding down before sleep. Isochronic tones work through regular speakers, so you don’t need headphones (though they sound lovely with them).

Everything you hear is played live, with no loops or pre-recorded tracks. The rhythmic filter movements are synced to the tones, and the LEDs respond as the music evolves. I synthesized the bell tones as well. All the audio was created using Pure Data open source programming software.

🎛️ About the instruments
All the instruments used in this video were designed and handmade by me. The blue boxes I call Pyramidi and the guitar shaped instrument I call a Smomid. There is some info available about these instruments at my website: Smomid.com"

OPEN-1 Concept

video upload by RedtailWorks

"OPEN-1: one synth, every firmware.

OPEN-1 is an idea for an open, entry-level synth: a 37-key instrument that becomes a new machine every time you pick a firmware from the SD card. In this concept video it runs a simulated HYP-1, in time with a real HYP-1 live take.

IDEAS PHASE: OPEN-1 is not a product yet. Nothing is for sale, the renders are concept art, and every spec and price below is a target, not a promise. I'm sharing it early to find out what you'd want from it.

TARGET SPECS
480 MHz Cortex-M7 (STM32H750), open toolchain (the FM-1 runs at 240 MHz)
32 MB of working memory for long delays, loops and samples (the FM-1 has about 432 KB)
16 MB of firmware flash plus a microSD library: keep several firmwares installed, swap from the menu
24-bit stereo audio in AND out, so it can be an effects box too
MIDI in and out (3.5 mm TRS), USB-C device and USB-C host
37 RGB-lit silicone keys, 8 velocity pads, 8 endless encoders, a thumbstick and 2 spring levers
4" 480×320 IPS screen, built-in speaker, headphone out, 3000 mAh battery
Wired only, no Bluetooth: lower latency, simpler to build
Target price: under $200

OPEN BY DESIGN
An open SDK and a browser emulator, so developers can build firmware before the hardware ships
A firmware jam before launch, with a community-voted firmware pack preloaded on every unit
Launch firmware ported from the FM-1 family: HYP-1, LOF-1, ECO-1 and GRAV-1

TyCoon Sequencer Part 1: Teach In

video upload by TheAnalogmonster

"First video of my newest development, an Oberheim Two Voice Pro Sequencer inspired MIDI and CV sequencer for my TyCoon system. Smartass I am I added improvements and additional features:

• The sequencer manages several sequences in parallel, limited by the EEPROM size only.

• There is no sequence maximum length. The sequence lengths are limited by EEPROM size only.

• The sequencer operates with two different sequence types: Voltage sequences and MIDI sequences. Voltage steps are created via CV / NOTE potentiometer and STEP STORE trigger, MIDI steps via TEACH IN. The last records a MIDI sequence from an external source (other MIDI sequencer, keyboard etc.).

The steps are defined as voltage step or MIDI step by a corresponding step attribute bit.

The sequences are defined as voltage sequence or MIDI sequence by the corresponding attribute bit if its first steps.

• All sequence(r) data are kept in EEPROM automatically."

SpiceCore is an iPad instrument that pairs an analogue-style synth voice with a sequencer built for evolving rhythm, tonal steering, and hands-on play.

What defines the instrument now.

Voice, motion, harmony, space, touch, and the long arc of a performance all live inside one instrument instead of feeling like separate features.

Voice character
Dual morphing oscillators with OSC1→OSC2 FM, Contour, dual filtering, envelopes, drift, and Circuit give the core tone weight, edge, and movement, from clean bodies to bell and metallic FM colours. And one pattern need not stay one sound: the Sound Palette spreads a phrase across up to four, chosen and blended note by note.

Skiff 1.3 for the M-VAVE FM-1: two cores, 12 voices, MIDI LEARN (what's new)

video upload by Skiff

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

Update: new videos added below.

"Skiff 1.3 is out: free, open-source firmware that turns the M-VAVE FM-1 into a six-track groovebox. This video shows what's new in 1.3, set to one song made on it: the FM-1's second core (BETA: 12 voices at once instead of 8), MIDI LEARN and a MIDI channel per track, an INSERT effect on every track, LFO sync, and more from Felucca 1.2 to 1.6.1.

Everything you hear is Skiff 1.3's own code playing that song: the firmware's source, run on a computer so the sound and the screens line up to the frame. Every sound comes from its engines, and every knob turn, mute, MIDI message and effect shown is performed in the firmware. Nothing was added afterwards; only the overall level was set. Every FM-1 screen shown is Skiff's own display, not a mock-up; the MIDI controller is a drawing of the messages the firmware received. A computer has no FM-1 second core, so the run renders those tracks itself with the two-core voice budget; Skiff's tests show the sound is bit for bit the same either way. The CPU figure on screen (60–63 %) was measured on an FM-1 playing six such tracks.

Retromulator 1.11 - CA-72 Moog Model D Core Demo

video upload by discoDSP

https://www.discodsp.com/retromulator/

"The Minimoog has the voice many of us first fell in love with: a fat bass that sits under everything, a lead that cuts through any mix, a filter you can play like a second instrument.

The CA-72 by Idle Foundry rebuilds a 1972 Model D from the inside. Every board was transcribed from the service documents into SPICE netlists, and the real-time model was derived from those simulations and calibrated against a real instrument, so the oscillators drift, the ladder filter sings and the mixer breaks up the way the original does.

Its front panel opens right below the Retromulator rack. LO, HI and ULTRA quality trade CPU for detail, and offline bounces always render with the 4x engine. DOUBLE, SPREAD and ENTROPY add a detuned twin, stereo width and the small differences between two real units. Presets are .fxp files in Factory and User banks with .fxb bank import and export, selected by MIDI Program Change, and every panel control answers a MIDI CC."

Explaining and testing RYK Side FX
video upload by Stazma

"Today we check out the newx multi effect module by RYK Modular: Side FX

This one seem to draws a lot of inspiration from the H 3000 "Ultra Harmonizer" by Eventide even tho it's not a clone at all. It let you use four effects and route them in many different ways using algorithms that look very much like the ones you would find in a 4-OP FM synthesizer (who said Algo?!). It's a great module, very powerfull and quite easy to use even for someone like me who does not like screens on modules."

via RYK

Want a Pitch Shifted delay into some lush Reverb, with a bit of Chorus for good measure ? How about some Phaser action into a Glitch effect, and a dollop of Bit Crush to taste !

SIDE FX lets you process up to four effect BLOCKS via different algorithms, to create complex, deep evolving effects to envelop your music in a rich syrup of your choosing.

It comes with loads of PRESET FX chains, from ear-mangling grit, to subtle presence, to brain-melting time-space freak-outs.

Or you can create your own PRESETS and save them to the internal SD Card, share with friends and impress your enemies.

Four user-definable CV inputs are available for modulating any parameter, along with a Clock Input for keeping things tidy and time-synchronised, oh, and a MIDI input for all of the above!

Midicake UNA Sart MIDI Arpeggiator - SonicLAB Presentation

video upload by sonicstate

"Chris joins us in the studio to show us the new *midicake Una*, a compact MIDI processor and sequencer that takes ideas from MIDI Cake ARP and puts them into a smaller keyboard-focussed format with three intelligent parts driven by MIDI input.

Note: UNA has gained a number of new features and UI improvements since this was filmed, including the Patch Chain and Program Change features mentioned in the video. Head to https://midicake.com/una for what's in the shipping firmware.

UNA is designed to be a musical idea capture device. It uses incoming notes as a harmonic source for three parts: chord, melody and bass. The chord track drives rhythm and harmony, the melody track works as a more complex arpeggiator/sequencer, and the bass track adds generated or edited bass movement. It reverse-engineers played ideas into its parametric sequencing engine rather than simply recording MIDI. It can also be attached to a low cost Android tablet directly for a larger interactive UI to expand control options.

Key features include per-parameter sequencing for pitch, gate, velocity, slice, octave, MIDI channel and delay. It supports ratchets, trills, swing, Euclidean-style mutes and accents, probability-based variation, chord chains, chord suggestions and live play with sustain. Luna also has two MIDI outputs and can route or sequence across multiple MIDI channels.

Una early bird launch offer £399 / $519 / €479 for the first 150 units and sells direct from https://midicake.com"



"Meet Midicake UNA, a hands-on hardware composer for keyboards, synths, and the people who play.

Capture a melody, then play the keyboard. UNA's rhythm, melody and bass tracks follow your chords. Every sequence is parametric and deterministic, so you shape it hands-on and the same settings always give you the same pattern. A pattern is only yours if you can repeat it.

In this video:
• Capture melodies by step recording or in real time
• Change mutes, steps and direction without touching a note
• Step-sequence every main parameter and slice notes
• Chain chords into progressions, and UNA keeps every track in harmony
• Mix tracks and pick from the factory patterns
• Add controlled variation to the bass with probability
• Modulate internal parameters and MIDI CCs with waveforms and step sequences
• Solo over the top with pitch quantisation
• Switch patches on the fly and chain them into patch progressions
