Roland Juno-6 Demo Track by The Outsider

Published on Sep 5, 2013 66outsider99·12 videos

"This track appears on the 100 Suns EP by The Outsider, available at http://iamtheoutsider.bandcamp.com

All sounds (rhythm, percussion, melody, fx and weirdness, and the vocoder carrier as well) were programmed by The Outsider using only the Juno-6. Of course the audio samples were not, but that should be obvious. Everything was multi-sampled and sequenced using an MPC2000XL. As you can see in the video, this Ju-6 has been modified: a CHD Elektroservis MIDI kit and non-factory LEDs have been installed (by The Outsider). The track was recorded and polished in Logic Pro 9. The Ju-6 may be a simple, one oscillator DCO synth, but it has its strengths, and provides instant gratification thanks to a very easy to understand and logical layout. Soft synths and plug-ins are all the rage, but in my opinion there is absolutely no substitute for the immediate, tactile satisfaction that comes with playing and programming any hardware synth, be it true analog, DCO analog, or VA. My only gripe is that I didn't buy a Juno-60... patch storage would be so nice. Thanks for checking this out, and more shenanigans of The Outsider can be found at http://soundcloud.com/the_outsider

Incidental info. Photos shot with Nikon D3, 35-70 f3.3-4.5 (I know, I know, crappy lens, but it was less than $20 so have mercy on me eh), then tweaked in iPhoto. Video thrown together in iMovie '09."

via Thonk.co.uk where you'll find a video for the event.

"I’m exhibiting at Brighton Mini Maker Faire this Saturday (7th September) – Come along!

I’ll have my modular system burbling away to itself, stock for sale and working versions of many of the module kits I’ve sold to date. I’ll also have final prototypes of the ALM SID GUTS Eurorack module, which uses the classic Commodore64 SID sound chip.

It costs £5 to get in for adults, tickets are available on the door but you can avoid queues by booking in advance. Kids under 16 go free.

There are loads of cool music and synth projects, hardware hacking, robots, Raspberry PI, 3D printers, submarines and even crazy bio-tech stuff. As well as just wandering around in an amazed daze, you can take part in practical workshops on the Sunday too. Thonk customers should feel at home!

Analogue Solutions Leipzig-s Percussion and Drums Part 1

Published on Sep 4, 2013 rezfilter·58 videos

"Headphones required!

Here's Part 1 of the Analogue Solutions Leipzig-s synthesizer performing one of its primary roles: drums and percussion!

This video features various basses, snares and quirky percussive blips that come together at video's end along with a Leipzig-s bass line.

The built-in analogue sequencer is especially useful when designing percussive noises and sounds that are unique and not pre-packaged sounding!

Analogue Solutions Leipzig-s Percussion and Drums Part 2

Published on Nov 12, 2013 rezfilter·66 videos

"Take it up a notch! http://tinyurl.com/lctm7ra

Here's part 2 of Analogue Solutions Leipzig-s percussion and drums.

This video is created by request from several Leipzig owners who desire a visual starting point to begin creating percussion on the Leipzig-s synth. All pots can be seen clearly in the video (use 1080p for full screen) and many unused settings are set flush left.

In this video, the Leipzig-s is not connected to MIDI, but is stepping the sequencer from its own LFO. Everything is done in real time.

For more creative drum patterns, the Leipzig can be attached to MIDI and used alongside your DAW.

The Leipzig synth line has incredibly fast envelopes and percussion/drums are some of its strong suits.

Enjoy"

ANI - Weekly iPad Live Looping #songrequests (2013.09.04)

Published on Sep 4, 2013 Amy Lee·28 videos

"This week's #songrequests is going to a slower, more melancholy place. I asked you for what instruments I should use and the ones that seemed to fit into this style included: banjo, ukulele, violin, trumpet, water in glasses, hydraulophone, bouzouki, duduk, shenai. I was able to work in some guitar-ish sounds, plucked strings, violin, a lonely-sounding lead, and a glass harp.

Intellijel HUB Quad Multiple 3.5mm Jacks

via Intellijel

"Intellijel HUB:

-4 channel passive mult
-Durable plastic enclosure
-High quality gold plated jacks mounted on a pcb
-Fully serviceable (just undo two screws to access the jacks)
-Super strong rare earth neodymium magnets on both sides of the enclosure so that you can magnetically stack them or conveniently attach them to metal or magnetic strips on your case (can even attach to screws).
-Price $10
-Available immediately from http://www.intellijel.com/other-products/

The idea is to allow you to turn any cable into a mult. Connect any Eurorack compatible patch cable to the HUB and then leave them hanging off your patch or magnetically attached to strategic points. This makes more room for the user interface of your modules and complex patches are easy to trace through."

I hope they are light.
