DiN48, Parallel Worlds and Self Oscillate - 'World adapter'

"Ingo Zobel (Self Oscillate) and Bakis Sirros (Parallel Worlds) first started collaborating via the internet in 2004. Their first album, “Current Flow”, under the project name “Interconnected”, was released in 2010 on the Belgian VU-US label. Following this a vinyl EP of ambient tracks called “Mechanic Environments” was released in 2013 on the Dohkonul record label.

For 'World Adapter', their second full collaborative album, Ingo and Bakis are using their more widely known aliases of Self Oscillate and Parallel Worlds respectively. Four years in the making this album is redolent with the sounds and textures of modular analogue synthesisers which both musicians are well known for employing in their music. Ingo uses a large Doepfer / Eurorack system whereas Bakis creates his complex sonic textures with Doepfer, Serge and Buchla systems as employed on his previous DiN releases (Obsessive Surrealism (DiN26), Shade (DiN32), Exit Strategy with Ian Boddy (DiN37) and Morphogenic with Dave Bessell (DiN41)).
Once their modular improvisations are recorded they are micro-edited in Ableton Live to form the ten tracks that make up “World Adapter”. On the track “Legend Silence” they collaborate with the Polish singer/composer India Czajkowska whose ethereal voice adds a distinctive flavour to this composition. The album has an IDM flavour, full of complex modulations and intricate rhythms. The duo then hang beguiling, simple melodies around these structures to create another intriguing quality release from the DiN label.

Abstract Data - ADE-32 Octocontroller - Arpeggios

Published on Aug 19, 2015 DivKidMusic

"My second patch playing around with the ADE-32 Octocontroller from Abstract Data. Check out the first patch here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyAJV... [posted here] - which is running a full techno style patch with drums, bass, random modulation, LFOs etc. In this second patch I was just playing around with a few oscillators and layering up arpeggios from the ADE-32 running at different speeds. It's a much more simple and slow moving drone style piece but shows a simpler way of using the Octocontroller for basic slow moving parts.

Dijkstar RiDrum TK-09 Now on Kickstarter with Random Drawings for Free Units

On kickstarter here.

"You wanna win a RiDrum TK-09?

Then help us to bring the RiDrum THC-01 Handclap kickstarter project to life!

For each 50e backer we gonna choose a random backer who wins a RiDrum TK-09!

You don't need the new THC-01 Handclap but wanna win a TK-09 Kick and know somebody who maybe interested in the THC-01 Handclap?

Tell that person about the THC-01 Handclap and if that person back our project he can put your name on the list so you can also be selected to win a TK-09 Kick.

Thus for the first 50 backers we select a random winner from the backerslist, or a person stated by a backer, but only if there are 50 or more backers, by each next 50 backers we select a second TK-09 winner, so by every 50e backer we give away a TK-09!

At the end off the funding period we randomly select the winner(s) off the RiDrum TK-09 Kick."

tELHARMONIC Phase Modulation Algorithm (P OUT)

Published on Aug 19, 2015 MAKEN0ISE

"Each voice of the Phase-Modulation Algorithm uses 3 sine wave oscillators arranged as 2 modulators and one carrier and the modulators and carrier are phase-locked. This algorithm will create a large number of harmonically locked partials by reshaping the carrier (similar to wavefolding).

The CENTROID controls the frequency ratio of the modulation, and hence the brightness. The FLUX controls the depth of modulation, which determines the number of partials. When the FLUX is full CCW, this is the largest number of partials; when full CW, there is only one (a sine wave). The CENTROID controls two adjacent harmonic modulation partials from 1 to 8. For example, when
CENTROID is at 2.5, the modulator will be an even mix of harmonics 2 and 3.

ON THE RUN in 10 min. Tutorial - OSCiLLOT Modular synthesizer

Published on Aug 19, 2015 gattobus

"This is a tutorial I prepared for my students during the synth course in RockFactory music school in Siena (Italy)
I used Ableton Live 9 with M4L plugin OSCiLLOT by Max for Cats.
'On the run' is a classic piece of electronic music that I like very much to cover every now and then... so: here it is, again! :P

You can use this tutorial to get an idea on how this piece is done and try to apply the basics to every kind of synthesizer you might have.

Enjoy!"

Waldorf Q Rack Synthesizer SN 1409260000192

via this auction

"The Waldorf Q Series used to be the standard for virtual modeled analog synthesizers.

Boasting no less than 58 endless rotaries for vital synthesis parameters, this front panel lends the term 'generously appointed' new meaning.

Q Series synths leverage a remarkably flexible voicing section with up to five oscillators and two multimode filters per voice to deliver that peerless Waldorf sound.
There are up to 100 voices offering up to 5 oscillators including wavetable generators, 3 LFOs, 4 envelopes and 2 filters with a sophisticated routing method and all filter types that you expect from a Waldorf synthesizer. Furthermore, the Q offers unique Comb filter types in two flavours. This enables the Q not only to create polyphonic Chorus or Flanger effects but previously unheard athmos or pluck sounds with great life.

To top things off, the Waldorf Q has a very powerful arpeggiator and an even more powerful step sequencer. With 58 endless rotaries, the Waldorf Q easily doubles the number of controls of other synths."
