Days of Delay at Golden Pudel Club

Published on Nov 9, 2015 Cyrus Ashrafi

Interesting seeing the Moog Theremin used to trigger notes.

"Days of Delay live at the Golden Pudel Club in Hamburg, July 2015.
The stage was very narrow and therefore the equipment radically reduced: Moog Theremin (also as a controller to trigger other synths), QuNexus Keyboard, Korg MS20 mini, Ableton Live, Arturia Beatstep, Korg PadKontrol, iPad Air with Lemur and Borderlands.
Enlighted by Boris Frentzel-Beyme (lumidium.org) and filmed by Juergen Martin Hermann.

Quantizer Sunset Showdown: Tiptop QuantiZer vs Intellijel uScale.

Published on Jan 7, 2017 Dudadius

"Quantizer Sundown Showdown!

I’m a longtime fan of the Intellijel uScale quantizer. It’s quirky, but if you massage it correctly, you can get some musical loveliness out of her. It’s all over my past albums.

Enter the Tiptop QuantiZer. Well, it sure is gorgeous looking! And I love the Circadian Rhythms, so let’s give her a go!

I’ll say off the bat that this is a little apples to oranges; the uScale excels at taking a CV input and outputting 2 [TWO!] quantized cv’s that you can modulate and muck with in very “interesting ways” (as Danjel might say). It’s the ability to modulate the interval degree of the B output that is really cool.

junkyard-kahrs just posted some excellent uScale tutorials which prompted me to revisit this lovely. And coincidentally it’s right when I received the Tiptop QuantiZer.

You’re dealing with just one cv in and one cv out on the Tiptop, so everything is much more straight-forward. So if it’s immediacy you want, this might be the pick. But if it’s crazy musical melody interval madness you’re after: uScale. Or…the typical Muff’s answer: BOTH.

Patch notes:

I’ve been trying to get comfortable with the Moog Mother sequencer, so that is again my source here. I just muck about with playing the ‘keyboard’ while adjusting the cv attenuation going into the uScale. Output A from that is playing an Atlantis, and depending on the attenuation, you will get varying degrees of…NOTHING or the interval you’re after. I need to understand the voltage range of the uScale a little better…

Output B is the interesting part, to me. It’s playing a Rubicon/Polaris combo, and the SHIFT amount is controlled by Planar. This essentially allows you to toss the interval relationship between A and B all over the place, but always within the scale. It’s bloody brilliant! Or ‘Ace’, as some might say.

The Tiptop QuantiZer is playing a Cwejman voice. A Qu-bit Nano Rand is getting clock and then providing random gates to a Pressure Points which in turn passes her voltages along to the QuantiZer. I programmed three chords which correspond to the general Fmi7 vibe that is happening here. This voice just bobs along in a random manner behind the other three voices.

Tiptop Z-DSP with valhalla chip and Intellijel Rainmaker provide the ‘space’. Dubmix is the mixer.

It’s all a little raw, but it was a fun exercise to use both Quantizers…"

Generative composition with Moog Mother 32

"The rhythm was generated with the Xaoc Devices Batumi, the quasi-random melody was generated with Make Noise Maths and quantised with the Intellijel µScale II."

Helios - Waldorf Blofeld, Teenage Engineering OP 1, Moog Model D Reissue

Published on Jan 7, 2017

"Some more fun with my new toys. The step sequencer in the OP1 drives most of the track with some Bass added from the Moog Model D reissue.

Its been VERY VERY Hot in Melbourne for the last few days, I guess it was on my mind this morning when I started to make this weeks clip. I must apologise to Klaus Schulze and also Cliff Martinez as I have subconsciously mashed Crystal Lake with Solaris this ended up with what you hear."

"I'm no synth player as you can see, but I figure it'd be good to see the actual unit in action."

"Sweet vintage Moog synth. Everything works flawlessly. All the original setting markings are about 99.45% intact. I've had it for 16 years and never gigged with it, only recorded a couple times. Always treated it like a baby, which is why I'm selling it, too nice for me to play live."
