Kraftzwerg as an IDM-Groovemachine
YouTube via traumaduo | November 12, 2010
"A 4 Voice!!!-Jam
with the monophonic synthesizer Kraftzwerg
4 "Midi to CV"-Tracks were used for controlling the 3 Oscillators individually.
The 1st Midi-Track controls the Frequency of Oscillator 1 and sends the appropriate Trigger Signal to Envelope 1. Env. 1 is connected with the Filter.
The 2nd Midi-Track contains also Frequency- and Trigger-Signals. But this ones controls Osc. 2.
Osc 2 is connected to the VCA who is controlled by the Envelope 2.
This produces the higher Percussive Effects.
The 3rd Midi-Track sends the Frequency (Pitch) to Osc. 3.
Because the Kraftzwerg has not more Envelopes or Mixers left, Osc. 3
is modulated by the Autofilter of Ableton Live with a Sample&Hold.
This Midi-Track plays the lower Bassline.
The 4th Midi Track contains very short Frequency-Voltages for Osc. 3. This Notes plays the higher Melody.
Due to the fact that Osc. 3 is processed by a Reverb and a Delay and the Pitch changements are very short, you got the impression of hearing a duophonic Melody sorting out from Oscillator 3!
Also a separate Midi Track was recorded with CC-Datas from the Kaosspad.
The Kaosspad is processing OSC 1 and 2 from the Kraftzwerg nearly like a random-processor.
I added also some connections from both LFO's to the Oscillator 1 and 2."
MOOG OPUS 3
via this auction"The Moog OPUS 3 is a polyphonic analog synthesizer with a 49-note (C-C) keyboard.
The OPUS 3 features three sections - strings, organ and brass. Each offers a single VCO for sound generation. The oscillators' ranges vary from 8' - 4' (string) to 16' - 1' (organ). For the organ and brass parts there's a resonant multi-mode (low, high, band-pass) VCF, with its own envelope generators and controls for cut-off and resonance. A switch to choose between preset and manual filter modes for the brass is also featured. A simple LFO can be routed to FM or VCF modulation, and has controls for amount, delay (up to 20 seconds) plus rate. VCA controls only include volume panning for the stereo outputs.
A chorus effect is available for the string and organ sections, with adjustable depth, delay and rate. Other features include the tuning knob and pitch bend wheel. There is only a single preset sound for each section, with no user programmable patch section."
SIMMONS SDS V DRUM BRAIN/MODULE
via this auction"You may remember this from such hits as Spandau Ballet - "Chant No 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On)", ABC - "Poison Arrow" but I bought it because the classic concert video of Van Hallen - "5150". Since then it has lived in my home studio, primarily kept as an investment."
