Patch Notes #19 - DU SEQ w/ 0-Coast & Blocks

Published on Sep 17, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

"Sick for a week, finally back to making sound... Here's Patch Notes #19 exploring the complex gate and note sequencing with the DU SEQ Eurorack sequencer as well as the 0-Coast and Blocks.

Reaktor Blocks is clocking everything. I'm using the Maschine Sequencer Block mapped to the Traktor F1 controller, with the first 4 channels routed to outputs on the Traktor Audio 10 audio interface. This way, I can sequence gate patterns on the fly, mute and solo sequences, generate Euclidean Rhythms and more. The Turing Machine Block seen on screen is not in use in this particular recording.

Channel 1 on the Blocks sequencer is routed the first section of the Malekko ADLFO, with the Sum output routed to the Roland Scooper, triggering the Kick in a complex version of our Roland Aira Modular Drum Machine patch. Using the Sum output, I can craft more nuanced decay/release stages.

Channel 3 on the Blocks sequencer is routed the second section on the ADLFO, which is also routed via the Sum output to the Scooper, triggering the hihat. Channel 4 is routed to the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas, which is creating more percussive, metallic textures.

Channel 2 is clocking the DU SEQ. The pitch and gate outputs are routed to the Make Noise 0-Coast, which is then routed through the Vintage Synth Lab VCF-74. The filter has boost enabled, adding some warmth to the 0-Coast output (more on this filter to come). The filter is routed out into Mutable Instruments Warps running the Parasites firmware for some delay effect.

Braids is generating a self-modulated chord in WTx4 mode, with an internal LFO pushing the timbre control around. The output is routed to the input on the Scooper, through a sidechain compressor setup with the kick drum envelope ducking the levels of the synth.

In Memoriam Don Buchla

Published on Sep 17, 2016 Peter Maas

"Don Buchla passed away. He was considered a true pioneer with an uncompromising vision of what synthesizers could be. His impact on electronic music was vast; Buchla independently invented the first modern synthesizer, at the same time as Robert Moog, in 1963. I feel blessed owning a remake of the Buchla Music Easel which was one of his last big projects. It is a very versatile instrument but one of it's strenghts is for sure in the melancholic space, well fit to this sad moment. Rest in peace Don."

OB6 - nursery rhyme becomes 80s style soundtrack

Published on Sep 17, 2016 Miguel d'Oliveira

"My first doodle with an OB-6
I tried to use the sequencer to sketch up a track using a nursery rhyme (Twinkle Twinkle) and push it closer to Drive or Stranger Things territory."

Roland AIRA Eurorack/Tabletop Modular Effects

"Peter Brown from Roland demonstrates the AIRA effects modules and System-500 modules at Kraft Music.

Roland System-500 modules are based on the vintage System-100M modular synthesizer, newly designed in the popular eurorack format. System-500 modules deliver the classic analog character and functionality of the originals with the advantages of top-quality modern construction.

While top electronic music artists often use instruments that are pricy and hard to find, AIRA offers a new series of affordable instruments developed to offer the spontaneous creativity and hands-on performance inspired by vintage electronic instruments, while easily integrating into today’s computer-based production environments.

AIRA uses Analog Circuit Behavior technology to virtually recreate the behavior of traditional analog circuits in classic machines like the TR-808, TR-909, TB-303, and SH-101, then combines the sound with modern features like arpeggiator Scatter effect and USB integration to pick up where the analog classics left off. The end result offers sought-after sound qualities of vintage instruments combined with powerful modern manipulations and performance features."
