A Patch A Day, No. 29

Published on Jun 6, 2013 hamiltonulmer·30 videos

"Unfocused and pretty long drone-related patch. Been a long day.

I wanted this patch to focus on three different relationships. The first is between the 4 voices emanating from the Maths. Chs. 1 and 4 provide the low rumble, providing a nice open major chord (add 2). The upper voices come from the Quadra. We output the SUM of that, placed appropriately with the relevant attenuverters, into the mixer.

The second relationship is with the three sine waves, coming from two VCOs of the DPO and the Dixie. The three minor 7ths away from each other, providing a lovely sonority.

The third relationship concerns the use of the the Quadras and the DPO, and using the Wogglebug clock to make the Graphic Sequencer move. I had the sequencer output 5v on steps 1, 3, 6, and 8, and was set at 0v otherwise. This provides a rhythm I've always loved. At any rate, the sequencer outputs to the decays of the pitched Quadra channels as well as the DPO's EXPO. So when I attenuate these knobs, we get the lovely chattering you hear. I think it is delightful.

Overall, this is not a very successful performance - the pacing is odd, and the relationships could have been more tactfully manipulated. But the ideas are nice, and I would like to keep exploring these."

"End" - A Musical Meditation for iOS Devices In Memory of Séverine Terracina

"End" - short demo from Gregorio Zanon on Vimeo.

"+++ In memory of Séverine Terracina +++

"End" places you on a swing at the end of all paths.

Each Ender walks until the End, unless you interrupt his journey.

An Ender's steps resound as piano notes.

"End" features two drawings by Pierrette Gonseth Favre, and piano samples by BlueMorfo.

—————————————————————————-

Drag an empty part of the screen to swing. Dragging with more fingers swings faster.

Tap an Ender, once or more, to call him early.

There is nothing else to do.

Each Ender is born with two notes, one per step.

Enders born on higher paths have higher notes, and vice-versa.

At the end of it’s path, an Ender will sing it’s two notes in reverse, at a slower playback speed.

Upon being called, an Ender will chirp it’s two notes in reverse, at a higher playback speed.

There is nothing else to understand."

The app is free and runs on both iPhone and iPad.

Alpha2 - Tom Oberheim Two Voice Alpha Prototype Audio Demo

"This is the first demo of the new Tom Oberheim Two Voice Alpha Prototype. I wanted to quickly bang out something in Song mode, building a bunch of sequences and stringing them together. Lots of odd meters here... I played a few little noodles on top here and there and a few bassy blobs as well.

This is the new TVS ONLY, no other synths were harmed in the making of this track.

Rare JoMox Resonator Neuronium with Case

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

via this auction

"This is the first realisation of a device with Resonant Neuron Synthesis, called the "Resonator Neuronium".

The new paradigmas of the 21 century are called complexity, order from chaos, self organisation of complex systems, networking and cooperation. From a certain complexity onwards a system is not even the sum total of its parts but a greater whole which shows totally new attributes than its sub structures.

The Resonator Neuronium has 6 analog resonant neurons. The net parameters can be programmed by the lefthand structure in form of a hexagon by use of knobs, buttons and LEDs."

Full specs at the auction and captured below. This one in via @SynFi

Macumbista Rob Hodijk Benjolin Update

via macumbista.net where orders are open. You'll find additional pics and a filter input demo there as well.

"The Benjolin is a standalone synthesizer designed by Rob Hordijk from the Netherlands. It contains two oscillators (one LFO and one VCO), a low pass filter and a circuit called a “Rungler”, which allows chaotic cross-modulation possibilities between the different parts of the circuit. Hordijk refers to the Benjolin as a circuit which has been “bent by design.”

These hand-made Macumbista Benjolins have been further customized with a patchbay, which can be used to interface with other modular synthesizers, or to setup further feedback systems within the Benjolin itself, a switchable external line input to the Benjolin filter and LEDs displaying the internal state of the Rungler..."


"Quick and dirty demo of Benjolin 2013v1, the first of several Benjolins to be built for sale in 2013. The Benjolin is a standalone synthesizer designed by Rob Hordijk from the Netherlands. It contains two oscillators (one LFO and one VCO), a pair of band-pass filters and a circuit Hordijk calls a “Rungler”, which allows chaotic cross-modulation possibilities between the different parts of the circuit. This hand-made Benjolin has been further customized with a patchbay, which can be used to interface with other modular synthesizers, or to setup further feedback systems within the Benjolin itself, as well as LEDs displaying the internal state of the Rungler."
