Diva tutorial 05 - LFO recursion

YouTube Published on Sep 7, 2012 by uheplugins

"The fifth bite-sized tutorial aimed at users of u-he's Diva, this one introduces the term "recursive modulation" (I already mentioned this technique in my old Access Virus programming tutorial). Here's the shortest dictionary definition I found:

recursion |riˈkərZHən| - see "recursion"

Even if you don't get that geek joke immediately, you probably will after watching the video. Due to Diva's fixed simple architecture, the only parts capable of recursive modulation are the LFOs...

First off, LFO2 is used to modulate oscillator pitch and filter cutoff. LFO2 is also used to modulate its own level... recursion! Note how the shape of the LFO (nominally a triangle wave) is affected.

Next, LFO2 is used to modulate its own rate, which not only affects the overall rate but also (again) the shape.

Normally there's no control for the pulse width of LFO square waves, but you can even do this via recursive modulation - in the 3rd experiment, LFO2 also modulates its own rate.

Of course the two LFOs can even modulate each other's rates and/or levels for a more complex type of recursion. The preset "HS Spacely Spice" is a good example of this.

Homework: Experiment further with both LFOs modulating each other until you have a sound you like. Instead of e.g. LFO1 modulating LFO2 rate directly, put LFO1 and modulation wheel into the "Add" processor and use that to modulate LFO2 rate instead. There are many more tricks to discover using those processors together with recursive modulation..."

Von Alesis bis Tascam waren auch die wichtigsten iOS Entwickler & Hersteller vor Ort und entwickelten einen regen Austausch mit den Besuchern.

Auf der Bühne präsentierten Mike Huckaby aus Detroit, Robert Lippok und Henrik Schwarz mögliche Workflows mit iOS Geräten. Auch Peter Kirn von createdigitalmusic.com war vor Ort.

Nicht zuletzt durch die begleitenden DJ-Sets von Penner&Muder, Kyson und Domenique Xander, und natürlich den CDR-DJs, die unveröffentlichte Musik der iOS Meet-Besucher spielten, endete das Event erst in den frühen Morgenstunden.

Weinglas - Hard Wave!

YouTube Published on Sep 6, 2012 by Wein Glas

"This video celebrates the release of my new album "Tales from Buchla and CR: Volume I" on the fabulous "Game of Life" label. [embed below]

Please download the album for free at:

The video is the sequel to http://vimeo.com/48648956" [posted here]



"Weinglas is a strange European noisemaker from Frankfurt/Germany

He always wears black clothes and black glasses and wants to paint the world black with his modular sound collages

In contrast to his appearance and to the sounds he creates he always uses colorful patch cords because they are his lights in the darkness (and they are cheaper, too!)

If it was technically possible he would only use electronic gear with tubes!

Release/catalogue number: Lif07
Release date: Sep 7, 2012"

Roland JV-880: New programs by Danielle

YouTube Published on Sep 6, 2012 by TheSynthFreq

"Hi! :) Here are some of my new programs for the Roland JV-880!. Every patch was initialized, then saw waves/square waves are chosen then the programming is started from all zero-set parameters. The JV-880 (1992) is very similar to the Roland D-50 (1987) with 4 partials that can be turned on or off, individually programmed. Each of the partial's parameters can be filtered in several ways. There isn't a limit to what is sent through the TVF as there is with the D-50. JV-880 is tricky to program with just one knob and 7 buttons, but its so rewarding! Although the JV is digital, the JV can be very lush if programmed with some diligence and patience as all synths require. :)

Maurice Joshua Roland Juno-106 Up for Auction?

Maurice Joshua on Wikipedia

via the listing: "This Roland Juno 106 Synthesizer is in near perfect condition. I purchased it last year from a friend who had bought it from legendary Chicago house musician Maurice Joshua (It still has his original presets.) Everything works perfectly on the synthesizer with the exception of the LFO rate slider which needs to be replaced. I am including the replacement part. The old slider still works but the knob snapped of and you have to use something like a bobby pin if you want to reach in and move the post to adjust. All oscillators function as they should, all the buttons work and don't stick, all other knobs and sliders are complete and move smoothly and without fail. All six voice chips work perfectly. All of the keys are complete and don't squeak or bind up. Comes with power cord." There's no way to verify of course.
