Moog Music 3rd Anual Circuit Benting Contest

via Moog Music Inc. on Facebook

"Wake up, Benders, Modders, and Hardware Hackers; it's time for the third annual Moog Circuit Bending Challenge! This year, we were so inspired by Google's amazing tribute to Bob Moog with the groundbreaking Moog Doodle, we've decided to incorporate it into the festivities.

Here's what you need to know: This year's contest is to create a circuit bent sampler. Film your bend process and a musical performance with your final creation. The device you bend does not have to originally be a sampler, it just needs to be able to sample external sounds after the bends and mods have been put in place & it must be able to take samples on the fly with no computer interface needed. Also, the sampler must be solely populated with sounds from Google's amazing Moog Doodle.

Propellerhead Reason: Radical Piano as a Send Effect

YouTube Published on Aug 27, 2012 by line6movies

"In this video, Line 6's Propellerhead Product Specialist Matt Piper shows you how to use Propellerhead's new Radical Piano Rack Extension as a Send Effect for processing audio. Although the example in the video shows the effect being used on drums, this effect can also sound great on vocals or solo instruments."

My Favorite Serge "Soup" Feedback Patch

My Favorite Serge "Soup" Feedback Patch from Rastko Lazic on Vimeo.

I love to discover new feedback paths on the Serge modular.
This is where it becomes really alive and full of surprises.
I actually often use feedbacks but in a much subtler way then this video demonstrates.

The Soup panel has much more feedback paths then shown in this video but this patch is particularly interesting as I use the Variable Slope VCF as the center of the patch.
I had really hard time understanding the usefulness of this filter but after Cebec wrote about http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=65698 the feedback possibilities and how to use them suddenly this filter became very useful and a great sound sculpting tool.

I should add that I use a saw wave as a source at the beginning of the video to demonstrate the sound of the filter before the feedback. The feedback is possible to achieve without a sound source as well.

Once again thanks goes to Cebec.

Noise can be beautiful, strong and alive.
Let the machines speak.
