Nord Drum Preset Drum Kits Demo

Published on Jun 28, 2014 zibbybone·144 videos

"Just a quick demo of the drum kits that come pre-programmed into the Nord Drum. Of course you can create your own sounds or copy and paste your favorite sounds from various kits into a new kit of your own.

I programmed a simple beat using my Roland Fantom X6's arpeggiator and used MIDI program changes to remotely change the drum kits remotely.

As you can hear, the Nord Drum is capable of a variety of sounds from emulations of acoustic drums, classic analog drum boxes, ethnic percussion and wild sound effects."

Franck Vigroux's "2024" video by Fabien Zocco from The Wire Magazine on Vimeo.

"Watch a video made by Fabien Zocco for musician, label runner and festival curator Franck Vigroux's track, '2024' exclusive to The Wire.

Speaking with Brian Morton in The Wire 364, Franck Vigroux – while influenced by GRM and composer/philosophers like Bernard Parmegiani, Xenakis, Penderecki and Morton Feldman – describes himself as part of a generation of composers in France 'who’ve been trying to regenerate music theatre or hybrid forms. I can’t really analyse my ‘philosophy’, but I am particularly obsessed by the intrinsic nature of sound, which surprises me constantly. So I spend my time in the studio searching for sounds, using all sorts of machines and devices. For instance, I’ve just finished a record where I simply played an old guitar through an amplifier with very little additional in the way of effects but with a range of tones and overtones [accordages] – which then become the object of meticulous research.'

Alongside curating Les Instants Sonores music and arts festival in Mende, southern France and the White Noises festival in the Paris suburb of Arcueil, since 2003 Vigroux has run the D’Autres Cordes label, releasing work by Samuel Sighicelli, Elliott Sharp, Matthew Bourne and others. Vigroux also regularly collaborates with vocalist Ben Miller as Transistor, video artist Antoine Schmitt as Tempest and with Reinhold Friedl and Mika Vainio.

Vigroux and Reinhold Friedl’s Tobel is released by La Muse En Circuit. Les Instants Sonores takes place 11–15 June.

"Sightings" - Z8000 + Plog + RCD + Wasp HP vcf

Published on Jun 28, 2014 Strange UFO Music·50 videos

"Extra Photos from a strange sighting in the sky at a location in the Bridgewater Triangle.

New modules used, the Intellijel Plog, used as a multicomparator. The 4ms RCD breakout module which I built myself from the kit.
So rarely are high pass filters featured, especially only 12dB (2 pole) ones. You can hear in the beginning, the Doepfer (EDP) Wasp's HP Vcf start wide open and slowly closes (to about 9 oclock), and at the end of the piece, the HP filter is slowly opening fully (clockwise) as it began.

Eurorack modules used:
Analogue Solutions VCO SUB
S/T E350 Morphing Terrarium
Make Noise Maths v2 & Function
Tip Top Audio Z8000
Intellijel Plog
4ms RCD & breakout
Doepfer A124 & A130"

Tony Brock's SIMMONS SDX Digital MIDI Drum Percussion Synth Sampler Kit?

"Holy cow! This is Tony Brock's Simmons SDX, in working condition and with a full set of disks and 7 SDX pads! This is the Fairlight of drum synthesizers. Only 250 were built and who knows how many have survived.
The main unit comes with its original flight case, in which it will be shipped. There is a snake cable for the pads and a power cord (not sure why two are pictured, sorry!). The only thing lacking is the cable for the snare pad, which is unique, but shouldn't be too hard to make. There are no stands or other hardware with this set. Since this is a vintage computer, it is sold as-is. Any damage claims will be handled through the shipping carrier.

From Simmonsmuseum.com:

"16bit 44.1kHz sampling unit. independent computer with monochrome display, trackball, floppy and operating system. 16 inputs for so called zone intelligent pads, 16 outputs. Optional internal hard drive, scsi interface, up to 8MB ram.
The chassis consists of a a heavy steel frame with a welded on grip and a sheet metal tub that holds the electronic boards The upper covering is made of coated plywood. Lifting the chassis reminds me of the Star Wars scene where dieing Darth Vader lifts his helmet: Under a real exclusive piece of industrial design there's an ordenary ugly computer doing its work."

"Received the Moog Werkstatt-01 today. Seriously, this thing is awesome! It doesn't do much, but what it does is huge. The drums and sequence are all from the Eurorack. Around 1:30 the Werkstatt comes in."
