FIRST PRODUCTION MATTSON MINI MODULAR SYNTH DEMO MINUET IN A MINOR

YouTube via redmartian
Update: I originally had the VIMEO version up, but it wouldn't play, so here's the YouTube one.

"This piece showed up as being by anonymous in Apollo's Banquet (1670) but is actually by Henry Purcell. A sounds/noises made by the MMM production model number one. The pictures are mostly taken from the 2007 PNW Synth DIY with the original MMM Pre-Production Prototype. Last photo is of Seattle at dusk on Saint Patrick's day."

Note this is demo number eight of the Mattson Mini Modular by Red Martian. I thought I'd put up demos one through seven for reference and a look back in time. Some of these originally went up as YouTube videos so the quality here is better. The following is in order starting with the first.

FIRST PRODUCTION MATTSON MINI MODULAR 07A-0001 SYNTHESIZER from RED MARTIAN on Vimeo.

"Here is the first production model Mattson Mini Modular analogue synthesizer serial number 07A-0001.

All sounds in this recording were produced on the MMM using the production run modules.

The percussion sounds were sampled and arranged on an Akai MPC-1000. The bass line was sequenced in Logic and the saw leads were recorded as performed.

The bass and lead sounds are produced using three oscillators in tune with various setting differences. The Jim Patchell filter is run with both LP and BP outputs run into stereo VCAs.

The only effect used is reverb from a t.c. electronic M-One."

"the seasons" and "Flight of the Atom Bee" - knox bronson

via knox bronson
"I have recently released a new instrumental cd, "the seasons," an electronic/classical work in four movements. So far I am getting all 4 and 5 star reviews. for more info on the seasons: http://www.theseasonscd.com/ or http://www.knoxbronson.com ...

To help publicize it,
I am uploading a free download a week from my older electronic works (lots of analogue stuff), Flight of the Atom Bee (right now) and when I am done with that, I will be uploading the complete "Deus Sex Machina" cd for free download.

There are 3 songs from the cd up so far. The Big Shimmer, Wild Pink Yonder, and Flight of the Atom Bee. Coming up: [Hydraulic] Serenity Applicator (lots of serge on there, too)"

Pictured is the system "used for the Bee sound, the birdie, the wind, and the drone in "Flight of the AtomBee." Note this is not the actual patch as it was vastly more complicated. You can find the full story on the making of FOTAB here.
