IDOW & MATRIXSYNTH Modular Pic of the Week - Week 10 Contest Winner!

"Our ninth winner of the Modular Pic of the Week contest goes to Scooter McCrae for his 'The Modcan Wall of Sound.'  

Scooter McCrae has been playing with electronic music devices for the last 25 years, and most especially loves the modular system he's been able to finally put together in the last four years, after dreaming about a set-up like this for as long as he can remember. Update: "If anyone is interested in hearing the Modcan system in the photo in action, please follow this link to my soundcould page. I'm adding and deleting things all the time, so please enjoy if you choose to check this out."

We'd like to give a big thanks and congratulations to Scooter McCrae for his submission! This is the 10th week of a 30-week contest, and we are looking forward to many more modular photo submissions, so please keep 'em coming! For details on how to submit and what you can win, see this post.

For more info on the upcoming 'I Dream of Wires' documentary, be sure to see the trailer and IndieGoGo fund raising campaign here.

See the IDOW label for all posts pertaining to the film including the weekly contest winners."

2012 Atomic New Year

2012AtomicNewYear from Atomic Shadow on Vimeo.

"A short improvisation featuring HP and BK sine wave generators, prepared ambient recording, ring modulators, tape echo and a dash of reverb."

And an additional note from Atomic Shadow just for us:

"Happy New Year Matrix and everyone in Matrixland!

I have finished the Full Moon album for 2011 and thought it would be nice to do a New Years piece with some of my vintage gear. This piece features a prepared recording of a machine room ambiance with live improve on the B&K and Hewlitt Packard sine wave generators. The generators are running through an Akai MFC42 filter module, Moog Ring Mod, and a Strymon tape echo pedal. The lab coat is for my friend Stephen Howell at Hollow Sun who urged me to have some standards."

Update via Atomic Shadow: "I have two albums for free download at BandCamp and you can find pictures and the latest news at the Atomic Shadow FB page."

Creative uses for FoH V'Amp

YouTube Uploaded by joel1088 on Dec 30, 2011

PLEASE READ: The behavior described is actually by design. According to flightofharmony: "Mod2 and Envelope go to the same place. Mod2 is an envelope input with an attenuator, while the Envelope input is un-attenuated. It’s not bleedthrough, plugging the LFO into the Mod2 means he is modulating his gate signal on the Envelope input. Adding the Gate to the LFO signal is increasing the cutoff threshold."

YouTube Description:

"Modular tip video, how to get rid of bleed when using amplitude modulation on the V'Amp.

DX5 playing DM "Shake the Disease" 101 version

YouTube Uploaded by DX5 on Jan 1, 2012

"Happy 2012 everyone. Updated "Shake the Disease" version, more 101 oriented. Yes, I used Alan original samples in my EMAX II :) The sample allocation is the same alan used on tour.
You can find some mistakes as this was recorded at the first take, first time I played the whole track (once assigned samples and levels).

More covers coming soon, also my next new album with original tracks (reworking on some demos these days).

Gear Used:

Upper: Emu EMAX II HD
Mid: Emu Emax I
Low: Kurzweil PC1x
Backtrack recorded in Pro Tools. Grid metal effect was recorded hitting a pipe on a grid door.

Composed by Martin L. Gore."
