Getting More Tracks on the Octatrack

Published on Aug 13, 2013 Catabolicdj·31 videos

"Here's a way to expand the number of sounds you can get out of a single track and pattern on the Elektron Octatrack. This uses the Spatializer FX available on a recent OS update. Place one monophonic drum sound on the left channel of a sample and a different one on the right. Then use FX and scenes as shown to make a drum pattern with trigs. Not a musical statement, just a tips/tutorial video to show the idea. There is a follow-up video which shows this trick using loops at http://youtu.be/IOCrqlypsgY. HD video available."

Robocop's Murphy's Law / Закон Мерфи by Soviet Space Child

via Soviet Space Child, also posted on MATRIXSYNTH-C.

Synths: The first sound that you hear is the Q+.  The chimes and pad that follow are the XTk 30. The brassy parts which come in at 0:46. and again at 2:17 are the Alesis Andromeda A6.

The track: "This is my first attempt at a cover, in this case giving the Robocop theme an 80's makeover, where the original was an orchestral score.

I haven't seen this movie in a very long time, and I never realized how dark it was. As a kid, I remember liking it because it was about a badass robot who shot up the bad guys. In reality, it's a film about a normal guy who loses his humanity. Dark stuff indeed. The new film has some very big shoes to fill."

The Analog Lab NYC - Harlan Muir | Lander, You Crazy : Korg PS-3200

Published on Aug 13, 2013 TheAnalogLab·43 videos

"A Korg PS-3200 that was recently repaired by The Analog Lab in NYC.

As is typical with Korg PS series repairs, many of the edge connectors in this unit were cracked and coming apart. We replaced all edge connectors and rewired the entire cabinet, amongst other repairs and it's now sounding beautiful.

This is the last synth in the Korg PS Series, and one of the earliest Korgs with memory.

Music by Harlan Muir."

Maths 2013 Bouncing Ball patch tutorial

Maths 2013 Bouncing Ball patch tutorial from Peter Speer on Vimeo.

"Using the 2013 version of Maths to simplify the classic 'Bouncing Ball' patch.

The first video shows the basic set-up of the patch:
Ch.1 EOR --> Ch.4 Cycle
Ch. 1 out --> Ch. 4 Fall/Both/Rise in
Ch. 1 Trig --> Trigger source
Ch. 4 out --> CV in on VCA 1
(VCO --> Signal in on VCA 1)
(VCA 1 out --> monitors)

The second video expands on this a bit (notice the change in Ch.1's scaling):
VCA out --> VCA 2 Signal in
Ch. 1 Unity out --> VCA 2 CV in
Ch.1 Unity out --> CV in on VCA 2
(VCA 2 out --> monitors)

The third video shows a quick idea of how this sort of patch might be used in a slightly more complex setting.

Andreas Tillander Interview Focused on Roland x0x Series on Attack.

via Greg Cole on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge:

"what do you get if you add 2x202, 2x303,2x606, 707 and 808? I make it 3737 but this fella reckons it's 404. Interview for the xOx fans here: http://www.attackmagazine.com/features/interview/andreas-tilliander-tm404/"

"Andreas Tilliander’s latest album sees him focus his attentions on Roland’s classic x0x series. We spoke to him to find out how the project came about and discover how he avoids techno cliches."

"In the first half of the 1980s, Roland produced a string of instruments which would go on to define genres and change the course of musical history forever. The SH-101, MC-202, TB-303, TR-606, TR-707, TR-808 and TR-909 are iconic pieces of equipment, without which electronic music would sound very very different. In fact, the only member of the x0x series which is a bit of a dud is 1986′s TR-505. The less said about that one the better…"
