"Performed live on a modular synthesizer. Ableton Live feeds notes to Yarns which enable four triggers. Ableton drum rack provides the bass drum with reverb.

Patch Notes:
Yarns in 4T mode sends triggers running four different Euclidean Rhythms to A) SH-101 EXT Clock In, B) René XCLK, C) Elements' Gate, D) Disting Y input.

The primary voices are:
A) SH-101 > Axis > Erbe-Verb
B) René QCV > Tides > Streams Ch A > Clouds
C) René QCV > Inverted with Shades > Elements L out > Disting (Delay)

Trigger Part (Euclidean Length/Fill:Clock Division)
A) 8/5:1/1
B) 7/5:1/8
C) 10/6:1/1
D) 14/12:1/1

René scale: C D Eb F G A Bb
Sleep mode
Access & X-Gate enabled for locations 4-11

Maths Ch4 provides the envelope for Streams Ch A, triggered by René G-X. Maths Ch1 modulates Tides' Shape and Maths' INV out modulates Tides' Smoothness. Maths' SUM out modulates Clouds DENS.

Peaks LFO OUT1 modulates Elements' Mallet and FM. Peaks LFO Ch2 modulates Elements' Geometry and multed to Erbe-Verb Depth, Tilt, and Decay.

URA CLK out to René YCLK, R-Pulse out to X-CV and URA CLK FM. URA R-flux out Clouds' TEXT."

Sequencing with Probability (Advanced Techniques for the ER-101/102)

Sequencing with Probability (Advanced Techniques for the ER-101/102) from Orthogonal Devices on Vimeo.

"A user asked on the forums how one can introduce probabilities into the ER-101/102 sequencing and thus this video was made to explain one method. The video is a quick tutorial on how to have individual steps trigger (or not) according to a (per-step) probability.

You can do this with the non-destructive transforms of the ER-102 groups because these transforms get re-evaluated every time the step is played. The trick is to get the ER-101/102 to threshold the output of the random operators. In other words, to get different probabilities just use the fact that parameters are clamped to be at least greater than zero and then combine the subtract operation with either the jitter (jt) operation or the (rd) operation.

For example, suppose we have 8 steps that are all the same DURATION=16 but have the following TRIGGER lengths (i.e. GATE lengths but track is set to TRIGGER mode):

1. 21
2. 0
3. 8
4. 6
5. 21
6. 0
7. 15
8. 5

Then we add these steps to GROUP #1 and set the X/LOW transform of GROUP #1 to

A = -20 (i.e. subtract 20)
rd = 20 (i.e. add a random number between 0 and 20)

The steps with the larger TRIGGER lengths will have a higher probability of being greater than zero after the group transform is applied. This way you can set the effective probability of a non-zero TRIGGER length per-step. In the example above, steps 1, and 5 will always fire but steps 2 and 6 will never fire. The other steps will fire with probability proportional to their TRIGGER length with anything greater than 20 having 100% probability. It's quite fun and allows you to create ever changing rhythms that nevertheless have a clear groove, in fact any groove that you want. Finally, you can use the MOD bus to control the 'probabilities' with external CV."

Root Node – I'm a Synthesizer (feat. Hatsune Miku)

Vocals: Hatsune Miku V3 English by Crypton Future Media

via wikipedia:

"Hatsune Miku (初音ミク?), sometimes referred to as Miku Hatsune, is a humanoid persona voiced by a singing synthesizer application developed by Crypton Future Media. Hatsune Miku is portrayed as a 16-year-old girl with long turquoise pigtails. She uses Yamaha Corporation's Vocaloid 2 and Vocaloid 3 singing synthesizing technologies. She also uses Crypton Future Media's Piapro Studio, a singing synthesizer VSTi Plugin. She was the second Vocaloid sold using the Vocaloid 2 engine, and the first Japanese Vocaloid to use the Japanese version of the Vocaloid 2 engine. Her voice is sampled from Japanese voice actress Saki Fujita. Hatsune Miku has performed at her concerts onstage as an animated projection.[1]

The name of the character comes from merging the Japanese words for first (初 hatsu?), sound (音 ne?) and future (Miku (ミク?) sounds like a nanori reading of future, 未来, normally read as "mirai"[2]), referring to her position as the first of Crypton's "Character Vocal Series". According to Crypton, her name is meant to signify the "first sound from the future"."

Yamaha TG55 Synthesizer Demo Songs

Published on May 21, 2015 Sound Programming

"Factory demo songs from the Yamaha TG55 rackmount synthesizer recorded direct with no effects.

Released in 1989, the TG55 is an early rompler based on 16-bit PCM samples, which Yamaha referred to as AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory version 2). The keyboard version, the SY55, was released a year later.

Song list:

1. Moon Rock (0:01)
2. Min.Rice (2:28)
3. Theater (3:35)
