Malekko - Wiard NoiseRing Test

Malekko - Wiard NoiseRing Test from Richard Devine on Vimeo.

"Just a simple granular style patch tonight, trying out the new Malekko Wiard NoiseRing. Other modules used Doepfer A-187, A-147 (VCLFO), Cwejman VCO2RM and Harvestman Tyme Sefari."

The Monthly Acid Pattern

via dyLAB

"So I want to invite you all to the monthly tb303 pattern group
http://soundcloud.com/groups/the-acid-question

Each month one of the groups members will post a tb303 pattern as audio and also as pattern data

This pattern will then form the basis for other members to create a track

The pattern can then be programmed into your tb303 or x0x box to create a new track.
The pattern could be programmed into your vst such as ABL or Phoscoyn to create a new track.
Transcribe the pattern to midi and send it to your favourite synth to create a new track.
Grab the audio file and rework the audio into a new track

You can grab this empty pattern sheet from here

Bring the Acid
cheers

dyLAB aka Dylan"

The Monthly Acid Pattern

Elektron Monomachine SFX-6 SFX-60 synthesizer

via this auction
"This is one of the rarest synths elektron has made limited to 500. This unit has been updated to the latest OS 1.22b which just came out from Elektron. Unit comes with original shipping box as well as the main box in the picture, manual and power cable. Don't be deceived, the Monomachine can be used as a six voice polyphonic synth at the touch of a button.

Synthesis:
SuperWave is inspired by the analogue world. With a smooth and full sound, these machines are ideal for creating all those well known synth sounds. SID is a faithful emulation of the MOS6581 chip, originally found in the Commodore 64. The SID tones can be strong and dirty. Be careful! DigiPRO offers raw digital waveforms which cut like hot knives through butter. This method also hosts the user waveforms and a set of sampled drum sounds. FM+ uses three customized FM machines each with its own personality. Soft bells or total mayhem, anything is possible. VO is the genie in the box. The implemented formant synthesis, inspired by classic voice modeling, will basically make the Monomachine talk.

The Sequencer:
The Monomachine sequencer offers total control over the tracks. Treat a pattern as an incredibly complex sound, transpose it up and down in real time and enjoy the most powerful compositions in existence. Use slide, swing and transpose functions to fine tune a pattern. On top of this, there’s no less than 12 arpeggiators available.

Parameter locks:
A parameter lock lets a note trig have specific parameter settings assigned to it. Basically every parameter found in the Monomachine is possible to parameter lock. In a melodic sequence every note can for example have unique synthesis, filter and effect settings. Parameter locks open up a new world of sequencing possibilities.

iPad and Toplap for creating atmospheric computer sounds

YouTube via pepemogt — April 27, 2010 — "I was playing with the Toplap app by Click Nilson on the iPad.

TOPLAPapp is a sonic puzzle based around a virtual machine for sound synthesis. This machine only accepts a few valid instructions, and you control it by placing each command letter within a grid, along with setting some associated parameter sliders. The machine runs through the grid, following the instructions to create the output sounds, which are usually of a somewhat noisy character, hopefully interestingly so. The historical antecedents include instruction synthesis as pionneered at the Institute of Sonology in the 1970s, and the live coding movement, of modifying a running program as it acts. This app is intended for those interested in more experimental sound art, and is in no way a traditional diatonic melody generator. Don't download this unless you are open to stranger computer music sounds.

Be careful of your ears, this app can produce wild sounds at high volume. Program this sound synthesis puzzle machine by dragging letters TOPLAp to the grid; you can also set a parameter for each position via the slider at each slot. The audio engine whizzes through the states many times per second. Press ! to clear the grid, and ? to randomise. No save or load is allowed, to promote improvisation. Live coding engineered by Click Nilson.

Click Nilson emerged from the Swedish algorithmic music scene in the mid 1970s with his groundbreaking piece "An Instructional Game for 1 to many musicians". This piece, whilst entirely unrealiant on digital technologies, formed a key part of the techniques - along with other pioneering artists such as Sol Lewitt and the Alan Turing Five - that formed the basis of what has today become the production of software in a live performative context - i.e., livecoding."
