Published on Sep 18, 2016 Christopher Anderson

"Extremely rare late 80s Analog Vermona DRM most certainly based on 808 architecture and step programming; the DRM has 32 steps, MiDI as well as individual audio outs and trigger outs."

RT-311 Swarm Oscillator: Short Demo Video 1

Published on Sep 17, 2016 Jörg Schaaf

"OK - I have to admit that I had some saturation from time to time at the VCA but beside that, you get a first impression, what you can do with snapshot recalls. After tweaking the knobs a little bit I show the remote control via the data output. So, I am controlling the Cutoff frequency of the RT-451 filter. Then I recall some oscillator snapshots. Beside interpolating between these snapshots they can also be used to recall fixed settings. In this example I synchronised the internal LFO of the swarm oscillator and recall the snapshots with that LFO as presets. Every eight steps it increases the snapshot number by one.

Afterwards I play a cluster, tune the beast up with that cluster, change it to a chord and tine it down again. That video represents only a few of the swarm oscillators features. Our first shipments will be done by the end of october 2016."

Buchla Music Easel - Designed - 1973 Thanks Don

Published on Sep 17, 2016 100 Things I Do

"I had started filming another video yesterday for this weeks clip but after reading the news of Don Buchlas passing I changed direction.

An almost totally random composition allowing for moments where I had to make a choice of personal taste.

Thanks Mr Buchla, for your awesome instruments and allowing us to make complex and diverse sonic texture as well as tone."

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."
