FS1R improv with the wonderful Skerjanc controller

video upload by Video muzak

"More or less random noodling with the Yamaha FS1R using the hw controller designed and handbuilt by Robert Skerjanc. The Blokas Midihub (small grey box) helping things out. Just playing with the formants, FM and the nonvoiced operators at the part level. Audio could be better."

See the Skerjanc label below for more.

Generative Patching: Krell and Benjolin

SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

0-Coast Patch of the Week #11: Krell

Published on Apr 13, 2017 MAKEN0ISE

All parts here.

"This popular self-playing patch is usually implemented on modular systems, but the 0-Coast is the rare standalone synthesizer with the necessary power and capability. Use this as a jumping off point for your own generative explorations.

Hear Bebe and Louis Barron’s original Ancient Krell Music from 'Forbidden Planet' here"
