Korg Volca Keys Noodle "At the funeral of a computer"

Published on Sep 12, 2015

"Beatstep Pro driving a Nord Drum2 and a sequence on the Volca Keys using Tempo from the Beatstep.

Settings:

Volca Keys : Set mostly to POLY with 5 different sequences and some automation. Then occasionally popped up to UNISON mode for a non poly sound. Audio signal from the Volca is passed through an Eventide H9 Pedal using the Dark Angels "Shimmer" preset.

Keyboard: Playing Ipad Mini FM synth called DXi FM synthesizer
By Takashi Mizuhiki. I am playing a bell sound called GlassBeadSA for the small filler sections on the M-Audio KeystationMini32. I crank up the effect Delay and Delay depth in the Dxi App itself.

Ipad out is via the Lightning cable using MusicIO to send midi from the keyboard into the Mac before then pulling the digital audio signal back. I have another video on the excellent MusicIO app which is perfect for pulling sound and sending midi to an Ipad.

Ableton is used for occasional triggered samples using the DJTechtools Midifighter 3D.

Korg Monotribe used for a short repeated background sequence. The Monotribe sound output is through an Electro-Harmonix and then through a Flashback by TC Electronic to create a nice reverb echo.

Recording is completed live (accept my pre-planned sequences are not live) into a GoPro Hero4 which is up above my workbench. Audio is sucked into my Mac via the ART USBPre two channel audio interface and mixed in the simple application Audio Hijack, basically making the Mono sounds from the Korg kit a central signal rather than in just one speaker. Then the sound is pumped back out of the Art USB pre and into a headphone monitor cable that climbs up into the USBMic jack directly on the GoPro Hero4. So no video and audio mixing is required because the sound is mixed and recorded live into the Gopro.

Mabel the pug is a great audience, she just snores in appreciation (Spot the Pug)"

My first synthesizer - [Plant dude controlling a pinball modular?]

Published on Sep 14, 2015 nicksworldofsynthesizers

What the hell am I seeing?! Seaweed, moss, plant dude controlling a pinball modular? Tim Burton spirals? He would be proud.

In the following video the knobs remind me of pinball machines. Someone should come up with spring loaded knobs. You can pull them, then release with maximum spring for perfectly timed modulations.

Update: added some notes for the videos below.  Check out the link to the Selidor!

"Alina String Ensemble is a musical keyboard application for iPhone/iPad/iPod touch that simulates the Solina String Ensemble. The sound is generated in reference to Solina String Ensemble (Serial number "SERIES 22, No.0093158”) manufactured by N.V. EMINENT BODEGRAVEN HOLLAND in the 70’s.

Not seeing it on iTunes yet. See the previous video here.

And the originals for those that want a trip down memory lane. Solina & ARP QUADRA in the first video, LE/Logan in the second "live" video. Moog modular system with the SELIDOR iNCONSEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS system at 3:02 in the first.


Couldn't find an official official version so the above will do.

Strobe2: A modern classic, reimagined.

Strobe2 is a software polysynth which puts diverse new sounds effortlessly within your reach. It builds on the original's realistic analogue modelling and deep but intuitive synthesis with a slew of enhancements and requested features.

Of course, Strobe2 retains the cult-classic original's signature character - a 'super-oscillator' with stacking, detuning and sync, a warm saturating VCA, the acclaimed TransMod modulation system and a powerful multimode filter with 22 responses for massive tonal variety.

Strobe2 comes with over 900 presets to get you started but its programming simplicity makes creating new sounds and learning about synthesis addictive and exciting. Capable of everything from raw vintage tones to futuristic sound design, Strobe2 is perfect for all kinds of music from classic to modern and beyond.
