Pepe - KORG M1 Card Set MPC-01/MSC-01 Part 1 - 3

YouTube via wwwPepeMusicDE | October 13, 2010

"A demonstration of the 100 sound programs of the KORG M1's expansion card MPC-01 with the PCM waveform card MSC-01. This card set is inofficially also called "Variety".

I'm going to make further demo videos of all the other official KORG M1 program and PCM memory cards (MPC/MSC-01 to 016 and MPC-11 to 13 and the M1 EX factory presets).

I'm still searching for the PCM cards MSC-010 "Ethnic 1" and MSC-015 "Drums 2". If you don't need your cards anymore, please make me an offer! :o)

Ich bin noch immer auf der Suche nach den PCM-Karten MSC-010 "Ethnic 1" und MSC-015 "Drums 2". Wenn ihr eure Karten nicht mehr braucht, macht mir doch bitte ein Angebot! :o)"

"Here is a video of some sounds you can get by running an external signal through Flower Electronics' new instrument, Jealous Heart. On sale now at http://www.flowerelectronics.com !

voltage controlled low frequency oscillator (LFO)
asymmetrical multimode filter (low pass/bandpass/high pass)
1/4" input with variable gain
white and dark noise
two audio inputs, one with -/+ attenuator
two filter cutoff voltage control inputs, one with -/+ attenuator
powder-coated aluminum case"

Flower Electronics Jealous Heart mangling Roland TR-606 Drum Machine




drwolfer | October 12, 2010

"In the patch after the two minute mark, the TR-606 isn't even going to the filter input - it's modulating the LFO and filter cutoff at the same time, with the LFO and filter bandpass outputs both going to the filter input. Extreme!"

To Be Or Not To Use Screwdrivers!

YouTube via macbethsynthesizers | October 13, 2010

"Short vid here having fun with two separate MacBeth Mk1 Modulars! The lead synth on here is comprised of the Mk1 Oscillator 'B' ('B' for beast!) which on this vid is using PWM and two sub octaves to genrate it's lead sound- also this 3 module minisynth features the vintage parts State Variable Filter (Mk1 Filter 'B') and the Mk1 Dual EG module. Bass synth is two Mk1 Oscillator 'A's, Mk1 Mixer, Mk1 all discrete Filter 'A' and a Mk1 Dual EG module. I have a wonderlust about my vintage Hammond emulator- the Korg CX-3 (original) so I thought I'd treat the keys with some screwdrives instead of knives! Keith!- you are to blame! A ham-fisted video as always- but it gives you the sound!
Keyboard controllers are Korg Prophecys' and two Kenton Pro Solos.
Videoed using a Canon 60D- signal direct into camera from desk."

Stockhausen: "Gesang der Junglinge"

YouTube via NewMusicXX | October 31, 2008

"Karlheinz Stockhausen: "Gesang der Junglinge" (Song of the Youths) (1955-56). A piece of electronic music utilizing both synthesized and vocal sounds. The vocal syllables are derived from the "Song of the Youths in the Fiery Furnace" from Daniel. Unfortunately, due to the time constraints of youtube videos, the last couple of minutes of this beautiful and historically important work of Stockhausen,were deleted from this recording."

You can find a great interview with Stockausen here, sent my way via Z of New Alliance East. Stockhausen was given some music by Aphex Twin, Plasticman, Scanner and Daniel Pemberton. You can find his critique in the interview.

As this site is primarily about the gear:

"Going back to Kreuzspiel - that was around the time you first started using
technology...

'Yes. 1952 I started working in the studio for musique concrete, of the French radio. Because I was very intrigued by the possibility to compose one's own sound. I was allowed to work in the studio of Pierre Scaeffer: I made artificial sounds, synthetic sounds, and I composed my first étude: Étude Concrète. At the same time, I was extremely curious, and went to the musée de L'homme in Paris with a tape recorder and microphones, and I recorded all the different instruments of the ethnological department: Indonesian instruments, Japanese instruments, Chinese instruments; less European instruments because I knew them better, but even piano sounds... Then I analysed these sounds one by one, and wrote down the frequencies which I found and the dynamic level of the partials of the spectra, in order to know what the sound is made of, what the sound is, as a matter of fact; what is the difference between a lithophone sound or, let's say, a Thai gong sound of a certain pitch. And very slowly I discovered the nature of sounds. The idea to analyse sounds gave me the idea synthesize sounds. so then I was looking for synthesizers or the first electronic generators, and I superimposed vibrations in order to compose spectra: timbres. I do this now, still, after 43 years.'"

Stockhausen on 'sounds', 1972

"Excerpt from Karlheinz Stockausen's May 1972 lecture to the Oxford Union on 'Four Criteria of Electronic Music'. It proved to be astonshingly priescent. If you like this, get the whole lecture from Stockhausen-Verlang.

Roland TR-808 with Midibox sequencer and mods by Exfade

YouTube via wotatwaat | October 12, 2010

"So I had an 808 with a broken sequencer. Tried to fix it and no joy, seemed like the main (impossible to find!) chip was fried. So I built a Midibox sequencer into it, very much like the MB808 sequencer. I have to say a big thanks to the Midibox brains, as their sequencer is very cool!
The mods are the same as on the other 808 I modded, which is also up here"

AS3 Particle Node Sequencer

via Soulwire where you'll find the download.

"This sequencer is based around physical nodes, which connect to produce a variety of tones. There are two types of node, a neuron and a receptor, which are connected by synapses (apologies for the trite analogies). Neurons fire periodically, and if within a certain proximity of a receptor, this message is sent at a fixed speed along the bridging synapse. When the message arrives, the receptor is activated and responds by queuing it’s individual tone within the audio engine. Each receptor owns a randomly assigned note, and each neuron a randomly assigned octave; therefor a receptor will play it’s note in several different octaves depending on which neuron causes it to fire."
