Published on May 15, 2013 izotopeinc·148 videos

From the vintage classic, the ARP 2600, to modern Cartesian sequencing, the Modular sound library stems from a wide range of both musical and chaotic sources. Start experimenting and you'll find that any Modular patch could inspire your next track, from pulsing tones to lush effects to glitchy rhythmic syncopations to fat bass sounds.

Unearth a world of sounds you've never heard before with iZotope Iris™. Driven by iZotope's award-winning visual selection technology, Iris is a groundbreaking sample-based synthesizer that harnesses the power of both your eyes and your ears. Fuel your creativity with Iris's new spin on sound design, perfect for musical inspiration and sonic experimentation.

A Patch A Day, No. 8

Published on May 16, 2013 hamiltonulmer·8 videos

Those are some close-up wobbly knobs...

"Pressed for time, & probably more technical than musical patch - I wanted to direct the Quadra EOC's into each other's TRIG, thereby creating a poor man's four-stage sequencer, with the duration of each stage is determined by the end of the slope. The Quadra pings itself in a circle.

Sadly I am very pressed for time on this patch today, so it is enough that I finished the video at all.

The first channel is just the Quadra itself snapping hard, making a simple blippy kick. The second channel has a bit of fm-modulated VCO A sine of the DPO, fluttering according to the Graphic Sequencer. The third channel hits a ring-mod'd DPO VCO B. Finally, the fourth channel uses the SUM output of two quick-oscillating MATHS, tuned in major 2nds from each other.

Some of this was motivated by my recent drone patch, using Quadra and Maths as dedicated oscillators. Quadra can provide a decent snap of a kick, and of course so can Maths. Pretty excellent.

(I hope I have the order of these right - I am away from the synth and can't verify by actually watching the video again.)"

Yamaha QR-10 Auto-Accompaniment test (Funny tribute to Bronswerk!)

Published on May 16, 2013 AnalogyGuy·10 videos

"Here's something quickly sequenced stuff into QR-10. Please don't take this too seriously ;)

Yamaha QR-10 is basically arranger tabletop module from 90's but it's quite more dedicated to DJ, jamming bands or whatever. You can fully edit it, make your own sequences and fill-ins and so on. It's incredibly difficult to record drum loops because you can record sequences only in realtime mode but fortunately there's quantize function making it a lot easier. It's got very nice and large selection of all kind chords, rubbery buttons for "keyboard" and small but nice and punchy build-in speaker for enough loud street performance so you won't need anything else to play it =D

Each pattern is made of rhythm track, bass track and two chord tracks. Even thought it's quite limited, but you can still create them all in polyphonic. All patterns can have 1 variation and 2 fill-ins (one for the variation) plus intro and ending. Here I created variation pattern which I can change in realtime or pressing the second fill-in which changes into variation. I know the sounds are, if not a bit dated but lower quality than the QY sequencers. Overall this is one little fun scratch pad but also quick way to check and listen suitable chords for your new composing projects.

The only serious "let down" is the omission of midi note output so you can't overcome the low quality samples. There's midi out connector but it's only for bulk dumps to save your presets and sequence data so there's no way to sequence external midi instruments, but you can use midi keyboard for chord transposions. Also there's only 2 jacks of 3.5mm stereo outputs, "Output" and "Phones". Also, the phones connection is the only one to mute the build-in speaker. There's also input to feed external audio so you can jam along with electric guitar or whatever. There's also some sampler functions and even build-in microphone.

About this performance, I created sort of tribute to my friend Bronswerk who created perhaps the best live sequencer ever! (Zyklus improvisor)"

dr gogo

Published on May 16, 2013 cirtcele·80 videos

"dr gogo is based on the analogue board of the DR-55 drum machine. Individual trigger inputs for the 4 drum sounds, accent gate input. Pots for RS tune and BD tune & decay.
I added a noise gate & touch of reverb to the mix, my camera has auto level adjust so in the silent parts it immediately turns the gain up to 11 for a good dose of noise."

dual drum module

Published on May 16, 2013

"two drum modules, these use envelope followers, crude VCOs and VCAs, so can simply be used as VCOs as well. These are based on designs published in an old Japanese magazine article, I heard these demonstrated by Under Techno Systems at a Tokyo synth meet back in 2004 and never forgot how fantastic they sound. They have been changed a lot from the original design but the basic circuit blocks are the same."
