Mystic Circuits - VERT

Had loads of fun with this one patching up some more harmonic / chordal patches to jam with and also drums. Letting the onboard counter spit out multiple gates depending on the voltage at the input is great. Rather than a simple comparator or CV level reader you can get multiple gate outputs at the same time. Which is cool for stacking drum sounds. Any questions as always - leave a comment and I'll get back to you."

Note Mystic Circuits was previously Circuit Shamen. I created a new Mystic Circuits channel label below for future posts.

Haken Continuum Fingerboard Melody Improvisation Soundtrack

Published on Jan 4, 2016 cuckoomusic .

"I'm currently finishing work on an animated short. I'm done with the animation, and now working with the soundtrack. I've long thought about using the Continuum Fingerboard as an important part of the soundtrack. And now finally I'm beginning to see where it fits in. This is just improvisations. A necessary part before finding the balance between melody, story, mood, and letting the film speak without letting the music get in the way."

Tracktion BioTek - New Organic Virtual Instrument from Wolframe Franke & Taiho Yamada

"This is a selection of demos from the new Tracktion BioTek virtual synthesizer. Each cue was performed live using a single BioTek patch in order to demonstrate the playability and expressiveness of the instrument. Wolfram Franke's powerful synth engine completely transforms sound between nature and technology via the central XY controller. It was an honor and pleasure to direct sound development for this project, and to contribute what I consider to be some of my best sound design work to date.

Special thanks to the entire BioTek sound design team, including Wolfram, Mike Wall, Sendy, justin3am, and Randy Lee. Check out electronic music from Wolfram Franke, Sendy and justin3am here on SoundCloud:

Wolframe Franke was previously with Waldorf. He was the developer behind Largo, PPG Wave 2.V & 3.V, Attack and Steinberg's V1. He also created Stroke Machine for the iPad.

Taiho Yamada was the Project Manager and Head of Sound Design at Alesis. He worked on the QuadraSynth, QS series, A6 Andromeda, Ion, Micron, and the Fusion HD workstations. He was also the man behind the M-Audio Venom.

Anyone know who the girl with the whisky bottle is? [Update: it's Kristina Childs who designed the UI for BioTek. Thanks to Lima in the comments for the info and Anonymous for the link!]

You'll find more info on Tracktion's BioTek on their website here. They also have a Micro Synth Pack.

Repurposing Guitar FX for Modular Synthesis

Thought this was pretty cool. Via David Kronemyer:

"I've recently noticed that there are a lot of interesting new FX for guitars, and wondered if they could be repurposed for modular synthesis. I got busy over the holidays racking some of them up, and here's the result. The answer is "yes" and they add considerable tonal variety and coloration. Mainly they can be inserted at the end of the signal chain, however, I discovered that you could provoke interesting outcomes elsewhere, e.g. modulating filters and LFOs. There is an impedance mismatch between the guitar FX and the modular synthesizer, but it turned out to be not a big deal - it can be accommodated simply by adjusting gain at strategic points in the circuit. In one or two cases I used a 10/4 box to optimize levels. My intention is to continue onwards with this project. I posted some more pix on Pinterest under Sentience Studio - Modular Synthesizers."
