Jump into Noise (Make Noise Shared System)

Published on Feb 2, 2014 Salz-Peter Zucker

"My favorite synth riff, played by my favorite modular synthesis system. Apart from the intro this tune is, obviously, self-generating. Therefore to prevent boredom I added an analog clock generator: let your eyes follow the pendulum and feel how your body relaxes more and more...

The System is extended with STO and MMG. Both slopes of maths are patched in the phonogene's organize, varispeed and genesize inputs. EOS clocks the Echophon, which is again clocking the Wogglebug. The Wogglebug drives rené in snake mode, snake control via maths. Everything else controlled by maths, rené and brains. And by everything I mean nearly everything..."

"Got a bit oldschool, I suppose...

The main theme is done by the Club of the Knobs / Moon 569, 'staccato strings' by Zeroscillator / A-100, the robotsequence by E-340, both sequenced by the Archangel. The singing saw is played by the S-2000 as the the sub is, again both sequenced by rené. Percussion by the D-1000. Slightly Moisturized and strymoned. Just started the workout and did some fading on the mixer in the beginning and the end, the sequences are mixed by maths."

OSCiLLOT Modular System by Max for Cats

Published on Jan 29, 2015 max forcats

"Available at: http://www.ableton.com/en/packs
Max for Cats brings you exciting new synths and effects for Ableton Live.
For more: http://www.maxforcats.com"

"With over 100 freely patchable modules and dozens of pre-patched synths and effects, OSCiLLOT brings the near-infinite creative possibilities of modular synthesis to Ableton Live.

In-depth

OSCiLLOT is a complete modular system for Ableton Live. The more than 100 modules – including oscillators, processors, filters, mixers, modulators, amplifiers, shapers, sequencers, utilities and more – comprise the basic building blocks of many electronic instruments and effects. The good thing about working with a modular system is that it requires no programming knowledge to make your own patches; simply connect any output of any module to an input of any other module with a patchcord and you’re on your way. And while each module has a fairly narrow range of functions, patching together even just a few modules can quickly give rise to complex sounds."

PO-12 ≈ my first melancholy waltz

Published on Feb 2, 2015 Martijn Moedars

"In the weekend I was wondering if the PO-12 could do some waltzing.. you know, the 1-2-3 boogie.
I have to conclude that the answer is yes, but man.. it was a though one! It felt like doing mathematical research on a calculator.. 1+1 = 3

The composition is a spin-off from a song I’ve wrote on the accordion to get in those romantic vibrations. All romantic chiptunish sounds are PO-12 including the Reverb FX."

Buchla Music Easel Expansion Card

Published on Feb 2, 2015

"At the 2015 NAMM Show, Buchla introduced the Music Easel AUX Expander.

The Aux Card offers a noise source that can be variably filtered from full-spectrum White noise down to sub-audio “Infra-Red” CVs. The auxiliary control oscillator allows the Modulation Oscillator to assume audio duties and can be used as the modulation source for a variety of uses. It can even be modulated itself. An A-440 reference allows quick tuning of your Easel with the flick of a switch."
