DJ Lace - This video tape

YouTube Uploaded by canmarcvancouver on Apr 12, 2011

"Mixed on April 12th 2011 at Canmarc in Vancouver BC with a DM4800 console & Yamaha HS 80 monitors.

Produced with the following hardware:

Roland TR-808, Roland TR-33, Univox JR5, Korg KR55, Sequential Circuits Pro-1 (w/Doepfer a190-2), 360 systems midibass, Kurzweil k2000, Kawai SX-210, Akai Ax60, Korg DW6000, Ensoniq ESQ-1, Oberheim Matrix 6, Sequential circuits Prophet 5, Deltalab DL-5 harmonicomputer, Korg DVP-1, Intersound RV100, Systech 4000A, Roland RE-20, and a quad 2.6ghz XP pc running the following:


Ableton live 8 for all midi sequencing and audio recording
Vegas 10 for all video loops & post render.
MidividGPU Hardware accelerated Midi controlled video module for realtime clip triggering & pre mix render.
Wavelab/SSL Duende for audio mastering.

Production Notes:

The 808 is the backbone of the composition. It runs synched in song mode for the whole track.

The KR-55 has a midi trigger mod. The TR-33 and Univox Jr-5 cannot be synched so they were sampled.

The pro-1 is layered with the 360 midibass. The Seinfeld slap is also from the 360. The 60s reverb tail on the bassline is from the intersound spring reverb.

The systech is used to flange the KR-55 in various parts of the song.

The chorus bells are the Korg DW6000 and Ensoniq ESQ-1 Layered together.

"Pay attention" is my voice through the Korg DVP-1 vocoder and stretched in Ableton.

The Deltalab harmomicomputer is used to pitch modulate the effects send of the female lead vocal in the bridge.

The "80s" reverb on the main 808 drum mix is from the TC electronics engine in the DM4800.

The prophet 5 is used to make the filtered counter melody in the bridge, and the climbing synth at the end of the bridge.

The Kawai sx-210 is used for the main melody in the bridge using the synth internal chorus & slightly notched to fit with the female vocal.

The big string chorus line is from the K2000. The ping pong delayed organ riffs are from the matrix 6.

The "Hey" are my voice sampled from another one of my tracks, with the RE-20 doing pitched tape delay effects.

The final Mix is 31 tracks wide spread over two layers on the dm-4800."

Teenage Engineering OP-1 Lightsaber Style with G-Force Sensor

YouTube Uploaded by djthomaswhite on Apr 12, 2011

"Okay, I have never tried to hide it, but now it's really important to set the tone: I am a synth geek... now you can really see it in this video. I no longer need to justify my dance-less career, my failure as an olympian, and general lack of athletic smoothness in general. But, I CAN get down with the gear and that's what I'm here to do. (PS. Thank you to lightsaber kid for the inspiration and breaking ground to allow me to embarrass myself like this... I am not alone LOL)

OP-1 Details - Cluster Engine used with G-Force accelerometer controlling the synth engine. Added Spring reverb halfway through. I hope you enjoy the new video and can see a bit further into the effects possible with the G-Force sensor in the OP-1.

Note: Yes, I am watching the reflection of the iPhone camera screen in my tilted laptop screen so I am creepily looking down and to the side most of the time."

Twoness

YouTube Uploaded by attorks on Apr 12, 2011

"This one I made a few days ago and took some time to mix the multitrack audio from the live recording. And just after I made the recording I noticed that the melody used in this video was somewhat familiar to me. After searching my previous recordings I found out that the video 'Oneness' has a somewhat similar melody. So I named this video 'Twoness'. The music begins with an 8-step sequence on row 1 of the Doepfer MAQ16/3 driving the Ian Fritz Teezer Through-Zero VCO which sawtooth output is modulated by the GCS Steiner filter and drives the Blacet Miniwave. This produces a modulated sound on the MiniWave. Then I use the SoundPrism App on the iPad to generate chords. After that an 8-step sequence from the Synthesizers.com Q960 is added which is driving the Synthesizers.com Modular which output is lead through the Doepfer A-189-1 Voltage Controlled Bit Modifier to give it a crunchy sound. Then some Mellotron strings are played on the Roland XP-80 were after the Waldorf Q Keyboard comes in. The MIDI output of the Q Keyboard is connected to the XP-80's MIDI input so I can play both instruments on the keyboard of the Q. At some point an 8-step random sequence on row 2 of the MAQ16/3 driving the self-built Modular joins in. The solo's are performed on the Clavia Nord Lead 1.

The music in this video tries to express the love and affection I feel for my dear friend Anne. She means the world to me.

You can download/see/hear the video and music from my website soon."

Oberheim Strummer demo

YouTube Uploaded by canmarcvancouver on Dec 3, 2010

"Here is an idea of what the classic Oberheim Strummer from 1991 can do to single notes playing a metal drum sound on a TX7.

The strummer is was designed to sit in between a midi keyboard controller and the desired midi sound device. In this case a dx7 and a tx7.

The Strummer's midi input "listens" to what a keyboardist plays and the midi output plays it back out modified to sound like a guitarist had strummed it instead. From a 3 note chord it can makes a 6 string riff. You can edit to make all sort of riff strokes.

Obviously nothing can sound as authentic as a real guitarist & the Strummer is no exeption.

However, The magic happens when it is used to trigger sounds it was not designed for, such as the metal drum sound here."

TR-909 version 4 upgrade

YouTube Uploaded by viclabs303 on Apr 5, 2011

"Thanks to Chuck303 and Robbin Whittle"

via diprec on the upgrade:

"This firmware solves the TR-909's sequencer lag and loss of synchronisation when playing internal patterns or tracks when slaved to the incoming MIDI clock, which is very disappointing and can make recording sessions tough ! If you ever tried to slave your 909 to MIDI clock, you probably already know whether it responds correctly or not. If it does not, then this firmware update will fix it and enable you to take full advantage of your 909's MIDI capabilities."
