Elektron Octatrack, Machinedrum, A4 and Analog Rytm.

Published on Feb 9, 2015 Dylan Nau

"An all Elektron jam! I just got the Rytm, its super groovy. To be honest I think with these 4 machines it is almost overkill, but one would not need any more than this to make anything you want really. My fingernails are long, I play guitar and love to use my nails for picking, please comment on that. Thanks for watching"

Korg Monopoly, Elektron Octatrack and Analog 4

Published on Jan 15, 2015 Dylan Nau

"Here I have the Octatrack sequencing the Mono/Poly utilizing the Midipoly kit which lets me play the Korg with midi and I can play it paraphonically which can be pretty sweet! Using velocity numbers, I can choose which voice plays on the Monopoly. Drums are on the Octatrack and and I have the Korg running into the A4. Melody and a little bassline I have sequenced on the A4. For those who don't know the A4 is the little black box on the left, the Octatrack which serves as the brain, is the small box on the right.

Eurorack - Make Noise Erbe-Verb

Published on Feb 9, 2015 Luftrum1

"Eurorack Modular. Demo of the Erbe-Verb by Make Noise.

Featuring DPO, K4815 Pattern Generator and Mutable Instruments Ripples.

The Erbe-Verb is more than a collection of reverb algorithms or presets, it is a unique, modeless, continuously variable reverb algorithm with complete voltage control. Typical reverb types such as plate, room, hall, shimmer and others may be programmed by adjusting the knobs. The continuously variable algorithm allows for hybrid and unreal spaces to be found. Traveling between spaces is possible by modulating the algorithm or manually sweeping parameters. More than an end-of-chain effects unit, it's a whole new building block for modular synthesis. Like the Echophon, it's coded by Tom Erbe of soundhack.

iTunes: synth-Q - Never Be Normal

"Synth-Q has been designed from the ground up with the touchscreen interface in mind. Synth-Q is a subtractive synthesizer with a customizable interface. A unique module queuing system, resizable multi-octave keyboard, and intuitive cable-based modulation controls offer a truly dynamic music-making experience for iOS.

Each part of the synth is separated into units called modules. Each module snaps into place along a scrollable surface above the keyboard.

Control the number of modules shown on the screen at any time. Control which modules appear for each sound.

Tap a button on the module menu to launch a module and add it to the queue.

Drag a module up and release to remove it from the queue.

Drag a module down to move it within the queue.

Add variability to your sound by connecting different modules using virtual cables.

Alter the sound with synth-Q's movable keys.

Synth-Q provides an intuitive and engaging way to get started creating your own sounds, and is ideal for production, performance and music education environments."

"a little Serge Modular Music System synth porn from the recent 40th Reunion party in San Francisco honoring Sergei Tcherepnin and his team. Presented by the Church of the Super Serge. Excuse the crappy editing, just did what I could while setting up my own 1979 Serge. There were plenty more folks setting up later that I unfortunately missed. Enjoy!"

Akai MFC42 Analog Filter Module SN B0115-00228

via this auction

"The MFC42 is a true analog filter module designed by Akai for their MPC-series gear. However, you can use it to process any sound source since it has basic 1/4" inputs and outputs and MIDI! It has genuine analog filters for that warmer tone with Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass, and Notch filter types. It consists of a MONO filter section and STEREO filter section. The MONO section offers 2-, 4-, and 8-pole filter slopes. The STEREO section offers 2- and 4-pole filter slopes. The MONO 8-pole slope utilizes the whole filter circuitry so the STEREO section is not active. Likewise, the MONO section is inactive when the STEREO section is in 4-pole mode. But when both sections are used simultaneously, they can be linked so that the MONO filter's control knobs control both MONO and STEREO sections. The link can also be inverted so the two sections sweep in opposite directions.

Other features include one ADSR envelope for the filter's contour. This envelope can be triggered by MIDI and Trigger button, but not by audio unfortunately. The LFO is essential to bringing this filter to life! It has four waveforms including sawtooth, square, triangle and random. It can be synced to MIDI clock and can modulate to 16th, 8th, 1/4, 1/2, whole, double-whole, and triplet notes in tempo with your MPC (or MIDI) sequences! Or use the "Tap" button to tap in the tempo in real-time. A large numeric display shows the current tempo and there's also an EQ on-board for global sonic fine-tuning. Effects include a very harsh (in a good way) Distortion and stereo analog Phase Shifter. The ins-and-outs consist of three 1/4" inputs (mono/stereo), stereo phono (RCA) inputs, stereo 1/4" outputs, stereo phono (RCA) outputs, and MIDI in, out and through. All pertinent knobs and buttons can send and receive MIDI control. This is a perfect add-on for any MPC-user."
