"Various sound sources in this one. Got field recordings of trains and cars and some samples from a religious tape running on the 4-track cassette. Drums from the MPC and Vermona DRM-1. The sub-bass is a 606 kick pitched down and compressed on the MPC. Got some bird sounds I recorded in the forest looping on the MPC too. Juno-106 doing the chords of course. The monotribe is filtering some noise from the 4-track for a nice pumping effect. Recorded to cassette on a Nakamichi LX-5."

"The unit was made in September 1989 in USSR at well-known Soviet factory "Moscow", which was famous for producing very qualitative professional studio | concert equipment.
Its flagship "RC-02" signal processor was highly sought-after for versatile functionality & amazing sound. The device has solid construction of a rack size.

The item has great pitch modulation function. ELEKTRONIKA RC-02 signal processor produces sound that differs from well-known western processor brands & can easily compete by its sound quality with any.
Unit sounds really fantastic and unusual - very wide and clean set of effects like delay | reverb | flanger | chorus.

Front panel controls:
- Input volume;
- Delay matrix (2 rows, 5 positions each - ms x multiplier), Delay
- Repeat button (no fixation);
- Modulation (Frequency | ON | Depth);
- Output: Mixer (Dry, Wet), Level

Werkbench 2.0 is here!

Published on Mar 12, 2013

"Available now in the app store.

We also have a simpler phone version if you don't have an iPad.

More details on the Werkbench site:
http://www.bolasol.com/werkbench"

"Werkbench 2.0.0 has arrived for the iPad and there are some significant new features and improvements:

::Sampling::

Everyone has been waiting for Audiobus support. Ta-daa!

There is a new file player / importer that supports Audio Paste and iTunes sharing (.wav). You can sample directly from the player as if it were an input.

Overdub option to layer incoming samples.

::Flexible Sequencer::

You can now chain sequences and set pattern lengths on the fly for each side independently. Sequences can be anywhere from 1 - 128 steps long in total!

Copy patterns to other slots by dragging.

::Dub Echo::

We revised the echo. It sounds sweet. You have control over feedback and mix separately. Safe to say that it is now a full-on magic dub weapon.

::Step Editing::

Echo send for each step so you can keep your bass drums dry. Expect more step editing options in future 2.x updates!

Hope everyone enjoys playing with it as much as we have."

Jörg Schaaf Live at Synthesizermesse Hamburg/Just music

Uploaded on Nov 2, 2009 Jörg Schaaf·21 videos

"Andreas Tofahrn (http://www.tofahrn-foto.de) was so kind taking some moving pictures from my Spectralis 2 live performance in Hamburg. Thanks to Jan Lüthje (Just Music Hamburg) for organisation and catering.
All other songs of my live performance are already covered in other videos here at youtube. So, this is only a small excerpt of the whole concert. I used the skip function of the Spectralis step sequencer for some variations of the tonal sequence. The lighting of the stage was a little bit clumsy so I added some even more clumsy video effects;-)

"Corridors of Time 5" - (Instrumental)

Published on Mar 12, 2013 TimeSynthis·38 videos

"2 Bar sequence in 5/4 driving a MFOS (Music From Outer Space) Sound Lab 1. Mostly using 1 oscillator, the 2nd Oscillator is brought in at places. Settings used are shown in pictures. Using primarily the release knob in AR to do the rhythmic permutations. Also slight filter adjustments throughout, never more than 1/4 open. Noise is used to put the reed like whistle into the extended notes. During that section, the 2nd Oscillator level is introduced, this being modulated in the low range of the high speed LFO instead of the AR envelope.
Rhythmic modulation done with the AR envelope Release and level. An Angelic pad to lift you out of this fractal microtonal world at the end. Sonic percussion and pad played on Ensoniq SD-1 32."

Emu Ultra e6400 Sampler with Compact Flash Mod

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This is a very special Emu Ultra which has been upgraded with a internal compact flash slot (SCSI) which means you can 'hot-swap' compact flash cards to get your data into the Emu, fast. Also it has an internal IDE drive 80gb loaded with the entire Emu library. The Serial No. dates this to March 2001 so it was one of the last Emu samplers made...production probably stopped around 2002 when they had a close out on Emu samplers and parts.

This is the 2nd Emu sampler i have for sale and I purchased this a 3 years ago for the RFX32 card. I discovered the unit was barely used and this is proven by the buttons which have no rubbing/smoothing and are appear immaculate - they remain textured. I have not used the sampler all these years but have recently upgraded all my samplers with Scsi CF as I came across the necessary parts.
improve airflow.
All buttons work and there is no skipping with the controller dial.

To give you an idea of the costings for SCSI CF flash: to upgade to a SCSI CF flash drive will cost you are around £150. £70 for the SCSI/IDE converter and then another £40 for the flash slot itself. The SCSI/IDE converters are extremely rare and not easily found.

128mb Ram - again this is rare.

This EMU is running the last and latest version of EOS, which gives you realtime resonance on the filter instead of 'note-on' changes.

I will also include the EMu sound library on the hard drive plus lots and lots of samples. You will have to seek clearance if any of these samples find there way into a commerical release.

If you want to pick up one of these units to bring something new to your production - the Emu Filters - then this is the best way to do it."

Building a Simple Sampler in Reaktor

Building a Simple Sampler in Reaktor from Peter Dines on Vimeo.

"In this video I walk you through creating a simple multipurpose sampler in Reaktor. I introduce you to basic Reaktor concepts like control and audio signal flow, polyphony, sample import and mapping, signal modulation with an envelope and adding factory effects. This is an introductory level video but it covers a lot of important territory you need to know to build more advanced structures.

Look forward to more videos from me - the next one will be on creating a sequenced beat production center from scratch.
