"working out phrases and drum pattern arrangements... has a few rough spots, but the idea is to capture different scenes and finally work them together for a finished track - a la razor blade."

Strange Voices with Ableton Push and DSI Prophet 12

Published on Sep 26, 2013 DJRexParis·40 videos

"Strange Voices with Push and Prophet 12
I used a simple Sequence with the new Stepsequenzer in Ableton Live9 new 9.11 Version on the DSI Prophet12 Patch B4 P83 Obscura"

The filter and resonance remind me of the SCI Multi-Trak which isn't too surprising considering they are both Curtis based chips. I always loved that sound especially when modified with velocity sensitivity.

live manipulating the groove of the arp of Waldorf Pulse II

Published on Sep 26, 2013 Trooper Starship·13 videos

"Drums LXR, all the rest Waldorf Pulse II
until 1:50 is the beginning of my (to be ready made) demo track, then i fade in the arp wich i manipulate slowly via hand to show the groove effects, wich are able only with the arp. You can do all this much faster via midi. :-)

German Kartoffels:
Drums LXR, der ganze Rest Waldorf Pulse II
Bis 1:50 etwa ist der Anfang von meinem (noch fertig zu stellendem) Demo Track des Pulse II. Ab da etwa kommt dann bis zum Ende eine Arp Sequence welche ich langsam mit der Hand manipuliere. Das geht natürlich auch schneller und auch via Midi, ich wollte nur mal zeigen wie schön man damit den Groove manipulieren kann. :-)"

Steve Turnidge "Beyond Mastering: A Conceptual Guide" Released

Not a synth book, however there is a synth connection that warrants a post here on MATRIXSYNTH. Steve Turnidge  is one of the men behind the eurorack modular synth manufacturer Synthwerks.  He is also one of the founders of the MMTA (Mostly Modular Trade Association).  This is a look at what one of the makers and influentials in the modular synthesizer community is passionate about.

Beyond Mastering: A Conceptual Guide on Amazon

"In his first book, Desktop Mastering, Steve Turnidge unveiled his unique approach to mastering in the box, all the while providing glimpses of his mind-set and resulting workflow. Now, in Beyond Mastering, Turnidge pulls back the veil to give a tour of the physics and philosophy driving the mastering engineer, and the internal state required for happiness and success.By definition, universal truths can be expressed in any medium. In this book, these truths are revealed through the art of mastering, building on the step-by-step methods explained in Desktop Mastering, related in well-developed metaphor and analogy. Beyond Mastering is full of guiding principles gained from Turnidges more than 25 years at the forefront of art and technology."

Cowboy and the Vocoder by Redmartian

The track is now available here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/redmartian9

"The song was recording using the MMM for bass and vocoder carrier. The lead is a jupiter-6 and the drums were done using a Sequential DrumTraks. The lead and vocoder (Roland SVC-350) parts were played manually along with the bass/drums which were sequenced using midi via Logic."

Some of you might remember Cowboy and the Vocoder from these previous posts.  The story behind this track has a somewhat intersting and quirky history.  Cowboy was VoiceEncoder's dog.  VoiceEncoder is known for his vocoder videos and demos that became somewhat of an obscure synth meme.  His demos actually came up in a recent conversation I had with someone.  VoiceEncoder would often feature his dog Cowboy in his videos.  Cowboy would just be lying on a bed somewhere while VoiceEncoder talked to him through a vocoder.  Sadly Cowboy passed away on Monday, March 23, 2009 (click through for a tribute post).

The second half of what makes this track special is that it is one of the first tracks predominantly featuring the Mattson Mini Modular (it might actually be the first) [Update: according to Redmartian, "it was the first 'song' on the MMM. I did a few musical demos and orchestrated lute pieces, but this was the first 'pop song'."] It was composed by Redmartian as a tribute to Cowboy.  The lyrics are a dedication to Cowboy and the videos he was featured in.  Below are two videos for the track.  The bottom video was taken at the 2009 PNW Synth Gathering and features the Performance Music Systems Syntar in place of the Jupiter-6 for leads.   The Syntar was the first fully contained keytar synthesizer created by George Mattson, the man behind Mattson Mini Modular.

Cowboy and the Vocoder and the MMM

Uploaded on Nov 5, 2008 redmartian·73 videos

"A song written for a dog who likes to listen to the sound the Roland SVC-350 vocoder. This song features the MMM as well as a Sequential Circuits Drum Traks and a Roland Jupiter-6. (I don't have a Poly-800 .. sorry cowboy).

Here are the lyrics:

Do you know Cowboy
and the SVC-350?
Do you know Cowboy
and the Roland Vocoder?

Hey there Cowboy
I see you there
Lazy gazing
Gazing lazy
Whos my sweet boy?
You know its you.
I like to vocode and you do too.

No Poly-800 to drive the SVC
So I use an MMM as my carrier wave
No Poly-800 but Cowboy doesn't mind.
We all know its the Roland SVC-350 vocoder time.

Audio version can be found here:

Don't hate the dog or the vocoder."
