Synthpop on the OP-1 Part 7: Struggling Melody
Published on May 26, 2013 Jacques Mongrel·22 videos
"- Trying out melody ideas in this longer video that shows the recursive struggle when composing. Keep YouTube annotations active to know what is happening.
- J'essaie des nouvelles idées dans cette longue vidéo qui démontrent le travail répétitif quand je compose. Gardez les annotations de YouTube pour savoir ou vous en êtes.
- Intento unas cuantas ideas para expandir la canción. Eso demuestra el trabajo repetitivo sobre todo cuando te falta técnica y talento :P Es importante mantener las notas de YouTube si no conocéis el funcionamento del OP-1"

Garageband Song sample loops to Roland MC-808 samples Convertor
Published on May 27, 2013 FIXED1T·25 videos
"This video demonstrates how a Garageband song created collaboratively using sample loops of Sweet Home Alabama on a mac and an ipad Garageband easily converted into a series of Roland MC-808 compatible sample loops and transferred quickly onto the MC-808.
1. The song is put together collaboratively using Garageband on the Mac and iPad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDIosK...
2. The samples are then extracted from the song using the fixed1t Garageband Archive audio sample extractor
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhj88r...
The samples are then reviewed to check their type using the fixed1t audio samples data lister
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNMJEc...
The Samples are then converted into WAV, little endian files and renamed in line with the MC-808 fast sample loading convention, using the fixed1t Garageband to MC-808 sample convertor.
The video then shows you have to get the sample quickly onto the MC-808 and play them.
Please rate the video and leave comments.
Cheers fixed1t"

Noise Engineering Ataraxic Translatron Demo
Published on May 23, 2013
http://www.noiseengineering.us
"The Ataraxic Translatron is a linear feedback shift register oscillator similar to those used in the first generation of home video game consoles such as the Atari VCS as well as many other classic arcade games.
Linear feedback shift registers are an ingenious way to produce a variety of sounds with an extremely small amount of hardware. The Atari VCS used only around 35 logic gates to produce all of its sounds. The complexity of tone for relatively minimal hardware made this synthesis technique common for sound in the first generation of video games where hardware costs were the primary development constraint. As video games entered popular culture these sounds became iconic but have seldom made it out of the video game world except when sampled from the games themselves or as their own genre of music “chiptunes”. The Ataraxic Translatron gives you classic arcade sounds in Eurorack format to be used just like any other VCO.
12 patches vary from a simple square wave to white noise with your favorite arcade sounds in between. All tones are available in 6 octaves range. A standard 1 volt per octave pitch control and CV control of the current patch are squeezed into a compact 4HP. An external clock mode that allows an external clock to drive the shift register allows for additional tone generation and modulation.
Please note that Noise Engineering has no affiliation with Atari and the use of the word Atari is as an example of a classic product that uses a similar sound generation algorithm."

Spice-up your productions!
Free 50 NMG2 glitch 'nd Cuts Sample library from Roland Kuit. Free download: http://we.tl/yn0LIUQjag
Have fun!

Update: SoundClound embed below. Also, for those interested, Roland Kuit will be interviewed on concertzender today. He will explain several important synthesis techniques with live synthesis on the G2 and the Xite-1 with modular IV. Also, compositions can be heard from composers from 1960 until the present. It is in Dutch, but the music has its own language.

MFOS Lunchbox Semi Modular Analog Synth w/t MIDI to CV/Gate Converter

BRo8c5!oSQ~~60_57.JPG)
via this auction
"Comes with a MIDI to CV/Trigger converter, 7 banana patch cables, 2 short quarter inch patch cables, and power cords for both the synth and the converter.
The synthesizer is a MFOS soundlab design and has:
2x VCO’s (one basic with square output, second with square and triangle output pitch and PW modulation, sync effect is also possible),
1x AR (Attack – Release) generator with one-shot/repeat option,
1x noise source
1x mixer
1x VCF – low-pass/band-pass, voltage controlled filter
1x LFO – rectangle / triangle / ramp / saw output
1x VCA
All sections are rotatable (check out the photo's to see all the destinations) with almost infinite possibilities! This thing is a lot of fun and has tons of vintage analog vibe. Great for experimenting and making whacked out spacy stuff too. You can also route audio through it.
Rear connections include; a mono audio OUT, mono audio IN, CV IN, Trigger IN and power input.
The synth itself works as it should and is in perfect shape, the only miss match is the resonance knob is a different kind (but if functions properly)..."
