MATRIXSYNTH

:: audio / signal flow by Mr_Union

Mr_Union wrote in with a link to his flickr set, blog, and MySpace page. It's an interesting set. On his flickr pages you will see images of his work flow - what gear is connected to what. On his blog you will find tracks with descriptions on the gear and workflow used for each. His MySpace page of course has the final music created with the gear.

"3 channels/sounds in play - the gothic/doom-sound, the electronic buzz pattern (not from sequencer), and a low bubbling noise you can't hear well until it catches the echo. note how the 4-channel mix patterns (controls in upper left) affect how each signal is echoed without changing the analog echo controls."

The Jive Turkey At Play

YouTube via NYRADFilms. Trippy video - wish the audio was better on this one.
Reminded me of The Cure's The Top days with the drums and color.
"esting out his new Yamaha CS2X Control Synthesizer, it's The Jive Turkey Of Funkadelia... with his co-hort and partner-in-crime, The Honkey Cat.

Noodling around, finding the sound, in the TV19 studios, May 2001.

Switched Off Bach / Invention #4 / SH-1000 vs SH-2000

YouTube via btpro. music starts at :35.
"The Joy of the Preset-Synthesizer. First battle is Roland SH-1000 vs SH-2000!

I like Preset-Synthesizer. An engineer made sound with analog technology at the time without the sampling technology.

It was often that I heard a sound different from the displayed name in them.

I often thought "Is this the sound of the piano?".

But I can imagine a desperate face of the engineers who are going to make a genuine sound with an analog circuit.

It is very exciting/humorous for me.

Roland SH-1000 is Japanese first synthesizer and SH-2000 is Preset-synthesizer for organist.

I love them! Please enjoy!"

Processing external audio with an analog modular synthesizer

Processing external audio with an analog modular synthesizer from Isotope Of Me on Vimeo.
"I started feeling guilty about not running external audio through my modular more often, so thought I'd put together a clip of a few different types of modulation that a basic modular setup is capable of. The audio is a recording of my friend Anna (she would never tell me what it is that she is saying) from a few years ago. This video includes processing with the Ring Modulator, Audio rate and Low Frequency Amplitude Modulation and Filtering (LP, BP and HP). There's an mp3 of a short ambient tone poem that I improvised this morning that uses the ring modulation technique on my site isotopeofme.com."
