Published on Apr 8, 2016 Future Music Magazine

"Teenage Engineer's budget beatmaker sounds great, but can be tricky to navigate. This beatbox is surprisingly flexible once you get around some of the simultaneous button presses."

Rheyne - Rhodes and Mothers (Ambient Jam)

Published on Apr 7, 2016 Rheyne

"A live looping ambient jam with a Fender Rhodes electric piano, 3x Moog Mother 32 synths, and Ableton Live. Recorded in one take with no pre-recorded loops or samples. Synths are triggered with an NI KompleteKontrol 49 and an iConnectMIDI 4+ transmitting on multiple MIDI channels. A DJTT MIDI Fighter 3D acts as a visual metronome. The Rhodes is running through a Moog MF Drive. An iPad running Lemur and a Novation Launchpad control Ableton."

Korg N5 synthesizer - Exploring sounds

Published on Apr 7, 2016 MrGOFIOvideos

"Playing some presets from a Korg N5 synthesizer. The screen backlight doesn't work, nor the arpeggiator... But it sounds, right? ;)

It's a 16-track rompler from lately 90's which uses Korg Al2 synthesis. The more interesting thing about this sounds is the stereo effects, i think. So using headphones is highly recommendable . There's no effects added, just recorded from outputs."

Farey Sequence Tables for FM Synthesis - An FM Synthesis Tutorial by noyzelab

via noyzelab

"The choice of Carrier:Modulator (C:M) frequency ratio is an interesting area of research, because it is one of the fundamental aspects of FM programming. Although I mentioned the classic book by Chowning & Bristow in the recent Matrixsynth NYZ DRN4 DECLASSIFIED, space and time didn't allow me to mention another classic text by Barry Truax: Organizational Techniques for C:M Ratios in Frequency Modulation. If you're interested in FM programming, and you don't mind a tiny bit of maths via the Farey Sequence, I highly recommend it. If you want to dig deeper I've made some useful tables for FM synth programmers in this post. There's also a handful of youtube FM synthesis vids at the end."

You'll find the videos and the rest of the tutorial on noyzelab here. Also be sure to check out the noyzelab newsletter sign-up on the top right when there.

An interesting side note via noyzelab: "The TV crime show NUMB3RS featured Farey sequences in the Season 2 episode 'Bettor or Worse' (2006)."
