Nocturnal (modular synthesizer session)

Published on Jul 23, 2014 alternatingbitmusic

"Key players: Dotcom State Variable Filter, Analog Craftsman acVOKS, Make Noise Phonogene, Oakley Triple LFO & Journeyman Filter and of course the Vermona DRM1-MKIII"

Mike Peake Buchla 258B Clone Special Edition

Demo:

"1. Detuned saw waves at unison.

2. Detuned square waves at unison, then detuned, then tuned and fine tuned to an octave apart.

3. Both sine waves, playing with original module depth exponential FM.

4. Monitoring one sine wave and FM'ing it by sine, saw, and square waves at the factory module's FM depth. Then sine modulating at Extreme FM depth. Change that wave to square. Goes out to pitched noise.

5. Pitched noise via Extreme FM cross-modulation. Monitoring only one oscillator.

6. Pitched noise via Extreme FM cross-modulation. Monitoring only one oscillator."

Yazoo - DON'T GO - Re-created w/ Sequential Circuits Pro-One Synth

Published on Jul 23, 2014 peahix

Another one from Pea Hicks. Don't miss the Yazoo Only You cover, and his Yamaha CS-01 Depeche Mode covers. Click here for all posts featuring peahix.

"By special request, here's another Yaz track re-created w/ the Sequential Circuits Pro-One synth. The original actually has a fair amount of ARP 2600 in it, which means that the sounds in my version are a bit hit-and-miss, but I was able to get reasonably close with most of the sounds. My starting point for this was four patches posted at http://www.unease.se/proone.htm which I modified to get closer to the original sounds. The kick is the same patch from the Vince Clarke magazine article that I used on "Only You." All the other sounds I programmed from scratch. Everything was sequenced in Cubase, and the Pro-One sounds were recorded one at a time via a Kenton Pro Solo MIDI/CV interface.

Note that, as with 'Only You,' the original recording is actually pitched a bit sharp. I've decided to record my versions at concert pitch (A440) for the sake of keeping things standard.

The snare, clap (heavy reverb), and hi-hat (heavy flanging) are all 808. The kick and toms are Pro-One.

For the record, I don't view these re-creations as "covers" or creative projects. They're more like jigsaw puzzles to me. A way to challenge my ear, a way to find out the limits of my limited gear, and a way to try to get into the head of musicians/producers I admire. Otherwise, they're relatively pointless and aren't meant to be creative statements in and of themselves.

Here you can download my midi file and patch sheets if you want to have a go and make your own version. Just let me know and give me a mention if you post your version anywhere. https://www.dropbox.com/s/s5342gtfi6o...

Thanks again to frankperri.com for the blank patch sheets!"

Sines & Squares Festival Coming to Manchester, UK 25-26 October 2014

"'Sines & Squares' is one of UK's first festivals and concert series celebrating the recent resurgence of analogue and modular synthesizers. It will feature some of the most renown UK and international performers, composers, lecturers and designers working with Buchla, Serge, Eurorack, Hordijk and EMS modular systems. A novel workshop from Tom Bugs of Bugbrand will introduce attendees to how to build their own analogue synthesizer/processor. The event will feature concerts of live modular free improvisation, fixed media compositions rooted in modular synthesis, theoretical 'patchbay sessions' with papers and presentations focused on modular synthesis."
