Korg Volca Beats and Bass gets Mangled by Elektron Octatrack

Published on Jul 8, 2013 MrDataline·57 videos

"Elektron Octatrack real-time sampling and mangling the Korg Volca units. http://www.elektron.se/products/octat...

I wanted to show how the Elektron Octatrack can take any audio and manipulate it in real time. Korg Volca Beats and Bass are routed into the Octatrack's stereo inputs separately. By pressing YES on the Octatrack, I can capture the incoming audio and start mangling and re-arranging the recorded loop on the Octatrack. Sending MIDI out from Octatrack into Volca Beats and sync out into the Volca Bass.

I have created 2 Parts inside the Octatrack. Part 1 has got THRU machines where I can add FX to incoming audio. Part 2 has 2 Flex recording buffers assigned to it. So, I record the incoming audio on Part 1 and start manipulating the recording on Part 2.

Personally, I found the Volca Beats very limiting and the overall sound is not for me. The Bass one however is satisfying...
But for the price of them you can't go wrong.

Kōbō Abe's EMS Synthi AKS

video upload by ozashikiTECHNO

Update: Re-Uploaded Jan 24, 2022

安部公房、愛用のEMSシンセサイザーを前に音楽を語る。1985年
Kobo Abe talks about music in front of his favorite EMS synthesizer, 1985.
translated a bit :
"...while working on a theater piece, when you commission music to a composer, it arrives at the last moment. In the worst case it arrives for stage rehearsals. For me it doesn't function if I don't have music beforehand. I'm not a specialist but equiped myself to try somehow. For my pieces I make sound myself since sometime now. I make samples and assemble them. Sometimes this machine produces interesting sounds. Let me try... seems like a bell sound isn't it? beautiful...this is how I proceed."

"The only sound sources here are the Tetrax oscillators. They are sequenced by the Serge TKB then run through the WAD, and later through a BugBrand PT Delay.
Watch out for real Tetrax craziness around 3:25.
This little device is tons of fun, besides being ultra playable and reactive ! Plays nicely with his bananafriends too :bananaguitar:"

NDVR Note - One could say it is Polyphonic Aftertouch 2.0

"WHAT IS THE NOTE?

One could say its "Polyphonic Aftertouch 2.0"!

BACKGROUND

In our era, digital music production is synonymous with the use of virtual instruments. For every real instrument, a broad range of manufacturers offer a plethora of virtual software plug-ins.

They all have one thing in common. The various sounds they make are usually the product of a digital keyboard. And while this may be all well and good when it comes to simulating keyboard instruments, going further to configure the tone of each individual sound is a leap too far for them.

Give it a go – try selectively adjusting the individual tone of the notes of a chord played on a keyboard. You’ll struggle to find any solution other than post-processing. The normal aids – “Modwheel”, “Pitchwheel” or other rotary encoders – tend to alter across the board all the notes that are played.

Moreover, in theory, virtual instruments paired with modern computer technology should have even greater sound potential than their real-life peers. But this potential can be exploited only when the right input devices are chosen. If it’s a matter of which input device, in our opinion you should look no further than the keyboard. It has already proven its worth over the centuries, and the universal key arrangement makes it the optimal choice to accompany virtually any other instrument.

To meet these growing requirements, though, the features of a keyboard have to be adapted to the keyboard’s role, which has changed over the years. No longer is it a mere instrument for keys – it has evolved into a universal input device for various virtual instruments.

At NDVR - that is precisely what we do. Started by a revolutionary idea, we started developing our first master keyboard, the evo, back in 2010. The concept was simple: to use the extensive surface of each key as an input by turning the keys into a sort of touch-screen arrangement using a capacitive sensor.

The end-result was a game changer. Via simple surface touch gestures, the tone of individual notes can be influenced, independently of the others – and at any time. No matter whether before, after or while a note or key was played.

Inspired by its success and the abundant feedback, we started work on a successor a few months ago. This time we focused on completely different aspects during the development. That development is now over and we are proud to announce a new generation of digital master keyboards. The Note, as we call it, is more than simply an enhancement. It is an exceptional and unprecedented keyboard.

SoundSplitter: Circuit-Bent Talkbox

Published on Jul 7, 2013 stexe·77 videos

"A circuit board from a Milton Bradley "Mall Madness" board game (first edition) fit into the casing from a handheld electronic game from the late 70's called "Split Second". Uses 4xAA batteries. Along the side are two slide switches (power on/off and speaker mute), and 1/8" audio out. On the faceplate is a sound trigger pushbutton, two scrambler pushbuttons and a volume knob. A red LED is behind the clear red window and responds to sound levels.

As this video demonstrates, it can take a while to coax a satisfying sound from this gizmo. Not so much practical for live performance as for studio work: record it for a couple minutes into a DAW and chop it up to remove all those "HI!"'s. Or, flip a switch to turn on the internal speaker and annoy everyone within earshot when you're on the go.
