Orgon Enigiser test
YouTube Uploaded by copenhagennoiselab on Mar 28, 2011
"Testing out an Orgon Systems Enigiser. This synth is an analog 1 osc synthesizer with quite extensive routing capabilities and many filtertypes. The sequencing is done with a Acidlab Bassline2. No effects at all, the overdrive is internal, just straight into the computer. I recorded this little clip as there is almost no videos of it online.
I don't own this synth. I have only acted as a courier and got to play with it before I sent it to the buyer. So no questions about the machine, please.
My music can however be heard at:

"hardware: arc4
software: electric dharma wheels
I received a production-run arc4 with the final firmware on Friday. This signaled a mad scramble to update my work for that and the latest serialosc with arc support so it'll be ready when people start receiving their units in a few days. So what do I do on Saturday? Make a new app, of course. Sure, that totally sounds like the responsible thing to do.
After receiving the arc4, I thought it might be a good idea to produce an example that demonstrates a 'bank' of encoder values that you can switch between. That gave birth to an application idea involving triggering modal notes from a pool of probabilities across three octaves of scale degrees. There is a separate bank of pitches depending on clockwise or counterclockwise rotation so you can shift the harmony with a simple gesture. The weighting of scale degrees is programmable and editable in real time on screen or with a MIDI controller. This allows for a more controlled structuring of compositional development over longer periods of time. The speed of the rotation determines how often a note is triggered, and can also be used as a modulation parameter for the FM synthesis engine.
Relevant synthesis parameters are also editable on the arc as the notes are triggered. The state of these parameters is overlaid on the LEDs, so interesting patterns emerge when this mode is engaged. There was a really awesome bug where switching editing modes also transposed the output modally, so I built in a score feature that allows you to advance a programmed chord progression with a button push.
A sit-the-arc-in-your-lap-and-doodle app has been on my mind a lot and I have at least three good starts in this area, but other priorities have often pushed these out of the way. The prototype arc2 I had lacked the mounting bracket for the USB cable and the logic board was floating free inside the enclosure, so I always had to use it (carefully) on a stationary, flat surface. It is really nice to have an arc that can be moved around or used in the lap. My cat disagrees.
I recorded this video, holocene, as a demonstration of this app, which I'm calling electric dharma wheels. This is the raw output from the electric dharma wheels, with some Eos reverb added after the fact.

"more md+mpc; much low end, so speakers/headphones with bass highly recommended"

"Short clip of me warming up for what was a great night! Hope to replace everything in that rig with just the OctaTrack to make gigging a lot easier going forward... Note to others: girls like it live."

"I found some old diskettes with my old sounds when I used to play Techno in the early 1990s. Tonight I loaded them up in my three W-30s. This is how we did it back then ;-)"
