Art + Music + Technology Interview with Tom Oberheim

via Art + Music + Technology

"NOTE: This podcast is presented as a collaboration with Synthtopia.com for the presentation of people working with and creating expressive MIDI controllers. You can listen to the podcast here, on the synthtopia website (in an embedded player) or on iTunes. But you can also read the article as well as search for information by viewing the transcription available here.

In this first podcast in our series on Synth Designers, we talk to one of the people that was at the forefront of synth design - so much so, that his original synth design is still at the heart of his work! Tom Oberheim and the Synthesizer Expander Module (or SEM) is widely known for its rich, smooth and musical sound, and Tom's work has been featured on recordings by almost anyone that has used a synthesizer.

In our chat, Tom talks about how he got started in both electronics and music, and how he stumbled upon musical electronics. We also talk about how the SEM has been able to endure despite all the changes in backing technology, and how it differs from most of the synths that were its contemporaries. It's also interesting to hear about how the resurgence of analog culture and the emergence of DJ/producer culture caught him by (pleasant) surprise, and have set the stage for his future work.

You can see what he is up to by checking out his site: http://tomoberheim.com/, or just by talking to anyone that is a synth fanatic - they (or you...) will know his work well.

Enjoy!"

Lifeforms Dynamic Impulse Filter: Processing Percussion (LMS: Eurorack Expansion Preview)

Published on Jun 11, 2017 Learning Modular

"The Pittsburgh Modular Lifeforms Dynamic Impulse Filter (DIF for short) is a very nice update on the classic “West Coast” low pass gate. It combines a VCA and a Sallen-Key resonate two-pole filter with an update on the classic vactrol circuit that allows you to dial just the amount of natural percussive decay you want.

In this video (the 4th of 4 on the DIF in my upcoming “Eurorack Expansion” course), I demonstrate using the DIF to further modify the sound of a percussion module such as the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas to create a powerful, punchy, easy to control hybrid percussion sound.

For more on using the Dynamic Impulse Filter, see the companion article on the LearningModular.com website: http://learningmodular.com/dynamic-im....

Rotterdam Circuit Trip

"Short lo-fi techno snippet recorded on a cassette deck with heavily overdriven input. Seems like a good soundtrack for Rotterdam's concrete landscape."

Flux302 of Fluxwithit.com Novation Circuit Review

"checking out the Novation circuit.
The Circuit is a portable grove box with 2 synth engines, and 4 sample playback slots. 8 macro controls give you real time control over synth parameters, FX, sample controls and global controls such as swing and tempo. Circuit also includes a built in speaker for on the go fun."

Read the full review here.

Regarding the software editor, if you have an iPad you can find some templates for TB MIDI Stuff here. You can find some screenshots of it below in my review here.

Fairy House

"test run with new Portabellabz 208 TOOLBOX"

"The shrill trill is a BitRanger being gated in by the tool box switching the source fed into the Easel's 2nd gate, and an Eventide H9 adds that long reverb"

"Some general patch notes:

Maths:
Channel one is in cycle mode, and slowly modulating Clouds' position parameter.
Channel two is triggered via Branches, and produces a short envelope for Ripples' VCA.

STO:
Provides some audio rate FM for Ripples.

uScale:
Quantizes the note sequence from Brain Seed and sends it to Ripples and Rings, with the former being shifted (within the same scale) by a stepped triangle LFO from Peaks.

Brain Seed:
Provides the note sequence. Every step also outputs a trigger to Branches.

Branches:
Randomly skips or passes on triggers from Brain Seed to Maths' channel two.

Noise Tools:
Provides a master clock for Brain Seed. Additionally, the S&H signal is sent to Brain Seed's freeze input, which holds the note sequence whenever the signal is high.
Pink noise is sent to Rings' audio input.

Ripples:
Functions as a 2 operator FM sound source with STO as the modulator (this makes the high pitched bell sounds)

Rings:
Is in FM mode, as the primary sound source.

Peaks:
Provides LFO modulation. A stepped triangle wave going to uScale's shift input, and some sort of folded sine wave going to Rings' position parameter.

Quadratt:
Attenuates the LFO going from Peaks to uScale.
Mixes the sound sources (Rings and Ripples), and sends the mix to Clouds' input.

Clouds:
Makes nice droney, shimmery, choppy sounds.

Finally, some delay/reverb from the Strymon Big Sky.

Thanks for watching!"
