Monomachine FM Jam

YouTube via bigcitymusic
Here's a little ditty using the Elektron MonoMachine as a polyphonic MIDI module. We've made a basic patch with one of the FM machines and set the MonoMachine to poly mode. The Dave Smith MoPho is playing our bass line and the MachineDrum (also by Elektron) is providing the drum sounds. You can achieve interesting and bigger kick sounds (or any sound!) by layering.

Essentially you can program one pattern sequence, let's say kick 1, and have it trigger another, kick 2, at the same time. Maybe you like one kick drum sound for it's attack and another for it's low end. With this trigger function you can try out different combinations without having to reprogram the rhythm line over and over.

The MachineDrum is controlling the Mopho and the SFX-60 via MIDI."

"My homemade 555 timer synthesizer. I made it in about 2 hours from 2 555 timers, 4 capacitors, 1 resistor and 3 potentiometers. Schematic can be made available if demand is high enough. This is one of my first 555 timer projects, and I'm a high school sophomore, so feedback is appreciated."

"boxar is my new musical instrument for nokia internet tablet n810 & n800.

the sound is coming out of built-in speakers on my n810. the sound especially the bass is much better when plugged to good loudspeakers. the stereo rhythms are much better on good headphones.

"A Reaktor patch that I built based on glitchDS and repeaterDS. The audio and video were recorded separately, but both were recorded from the same instrument. I'm also using the GRAIN_ShUFFlER and MicroGlitch (from the Reaktor user library) for effects."

Alesis Andromeda A6: 16-Voice Analog Synth Overview, Part 1

YouTube via gearwire
"Like any good amateur astronomy enthusiast preparing to deliver his / her first talk, Bill Holland got all snazzed up to demo the Alesis Andromeda A6
. This massive analog synth has nearly as many controls as the Andromeda galaxy has habitable planets, i.e., it'll be decades or even centuries before we know for sure.

This first video on the Andromeda covers some of the basic controls you'll find on similar high-end, digitally controlled analog synths. You'll have to wait for subsequent videos to check out the sweet ribbon controller in action.

See more on Gearwire.com."
