Yarns calibration run

Yarns calibration run from mutable instruments on Vimeo.

"Voltage on one of Yarns' CV outputs going through the factory calibration routine. The game is to find the DAC codes allowing the output to hit -3, -2.. 7V exactly. Once we have the octaves the rest of the note->CV table is built by interpolation."

Braids Pluck aleatoric melody & Braids Particle mode + Z-DSP

Braids Pluck aleatoric melody from Peter Speer on Vimeo.

"Braids in 'Pluck' string synthesis mode.

Clocking via Maths, Function, Echophon and Shuffling Clock Multiplier
--Maths Ch. 1 controls the timebase for the note clusters and clocks the SCM
--SCM triggers Braids
--Function decides when new notes will be created (via Quantimator's Hold input) and clocks the Echophon and Wogglebug, and engage's Math Ch.1's Cycle input
--the Echophon acts as a clock divider and drives Brains

Sequencing via Wogglebug, Pressure Points/Brains and Quantimator
--Wogglebug's Stepped out is sent to the Quantimator's voltage input
--Pressure Points Row 1 is sent to the Quantimator's transpose input

Timing modulation: Wogglebug and Maths

Tremolo: Dr. Octature + A-132-3

Filtering: Z-DSP (serial HPF --> BPF program)

Braids Particle mode + Z-DSP from Peter Speer on Vimeo.

"The 'Particle' mode on Braids is a granular synthesis model

Pressure Points rows are controlling Braids
(Maths is acting as a dual slew limiter for these voltages)
Wogglebug is controlling the Z-DSP (Bat Filters card)

Korg Volca Keys Demo

Published on Oct 3, 2013 Dean Clarke·16 videos

"We (3D) just got a Korg Volca Keys - this is what we did with it in the first hour of unboxing.

Ableton Live controlling the Keys for the bass part, then overdubbed the improvised lead line by playing the Keys via the Novation MiniNova. 606/808 Drums from Live.

If you are thinking of getting one of the Volca series - just do it!

And check us out - Facebook/3dbeats"

"Today is Steve Reich's Birthday. This is my Absynth tribute to him."

Happy Birthday Steve Reich! :)

A blurb on Steve from Wikipedia:

"Stephen Michael Reich (/ˈraɪʃ/;[1] born October 3, 1936) is an American composer who, along with La Monte Young, Terry Riley, and Philip Glass, pioneered minimal music in the mid to late 1960s.

His innovations include using tape loops to create phasing patterns (for example, his early compositions It's Gonna Rain and Come Out), and the use of simple, audible processes to explore musical concepts (for instance, Pendulum Music and Four Organs). These compositions, marked by their use of repetitive figures, slow harmonic rhythm and canons, have significantly influenced contemporary music, especially in the US. Reich's work took on a darker character in the 1980s with the introduction of historical themes as well as themes from his Jewish heritage, notably the Grammy Award-winning Different Trains."

MAM SQ16 Rare MIDI Step Sequencer SN S162701007

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

via this auction - learn how to sell on eBay here

"Unique x0x style step sequencer with 16 tracks - 13 for drum or samples (single MIDI note assignment) and 3 mono synth tracks. It has a DIN sync output to integrate with your old school Roland boxes. It offers multiple setups for MIDI mapping your tracks, so you can set it up for different modules and synths, and recall those settings when needed. It also offers a unique pattern rotate function which can shift and delay your note triggers in the sequence for some randomness, as well as a MIDI delay function."

An interesting side note: note the SN is S162701007, while this one is S162701001. Curious if that makes this SN 7 and the other SN 1.
