808 Cowbell Morse Code

Published on Aug 20, 2015 Circuit Ben

"Maybe we've been looking at this alien communication thing all wrong, perhaps they are looking for a combination of Morse Code and 808 Cowbell as evidence of an intelligent civilisation.

Special thanks to Holger M Mürk for the 808 cowbell schematic."

"In this video I use the Prophet 6 sequencer & play along while tweaking lots of parameters(knobs & buttons) on the Synthesizer. I used an altered version of Preset 014(514) as a starting point. Recorded direct to Zoom Q3HD video recorder on 8-19-15 at about 11pm CST."

First Patch with DC1 Drumcomputer from Soundmachines

Ruprechtre eurorack module.

"First Patch using the DC1 Drumcomputer. The DC1 is a drum sequencing unit but I tried to use it in a different approach for percussiv droning. Some gates were sent to some step sequencing while some others for more typical drum sequencing."

Dave Smith Instruments Evolver Fantastic Pads & FX Analog Digital Synthesizer DSI

Published on Aug 19, 2015 SynthgodXXX

"Dave Smith Instruments Evolver Fantastic Pads & FX
by Rik Marston 100% NO TALKING!!

Dave Smith Instruments Evolver Analog / Digital
Synthesizer is one HUGE little desktop synth!
Capable of some Monster Bass, PHAT vintage sounds, powerful sequences & audio in effects!!! Super cool!!!!
All from a monophonic synth that fits in your backpack!

This video is a demonstration of it's softer side, Pads, Strings, S+H, Modulation, most videos of the EVOLVER just show off its harsh, noisy side. This video shows an atmospheric side that does not get too much attention.
I love this unit like I did my POLY EVOLVER, I just wish it had the 4 voices the POLY EVOLVER did! LOL!
This unit is still sought after & used by many producers & musicians all over the world. Go figure, it is from DSI!!!
But I have one major GRIPE, it STEPS SO HARD when you are creating filter sweeps.... Frequency, Envelope... OMG!!
You can hear it when I twist the knobs, quite obvious!!
Kinda like some old Yamaha synths I used to own...
The Evolver is not the best for LIVE usage unless you are not planning on tweaking the sounds onstage...
The POLY EVOLVER did NOT do that! It was very smooth when you tweak sounds!!! Let me know how you guys use the Evolver desktop & if you feel the same about the STEPPING (Zipper) when you tweak the knobs....

Omenie Synth Collection on a Raspberry Pi Model A

Published on Aug 19, 2015 Pi Synth

"7 simultaneous synths - 3 Virtual Analog (VAsynth), 2 sample replay (SRsynth) and 2 wavetable trajectory (WTsynth) - are sequenced to play back one of Ron's finest tunes. The individual instruments are walked through first by whipping through MIDI channels and bashing keys before the sequence is launched.

There is one minor bit of cheating - or is it an advanced feature? I have not written the sequencing language description of this tune yet, so I exploit the 'launch MIDI grab' feature whereby the sequencing program initializes all the instruments, sets level and pan, sets the preset for each MIDI channel, then fires previously-captured MIDI down the throat of the synthesizer service, which deals with distributing MIDI packets to the right synth.

And I should stress - the computer that is synthesizing all these instruments, and rendering the full-screen 1280x720 waveform display, AND dealing with the multiple MIDI keyboards costs $20."
