Instruo - Scion // Modular Meets Leeds 2017

Published on Sep 7, 2017 DivKidVideo

"Here's the awesome new Scion module from Instruo. It's interfaces through a tens cable with a plant (as based on the MIDI Sprout device) and interfaces with the module. It's looking for changes in resistance and interfering with plant affects the signals but you can also play it from the touch capacitive plate on the panel or with a standard 3.5mm cable (plug in your output for a generative feedback based patch). The module creates notes (quantised, each with variable slew) across four voices based on the incoming signals and it also has a harmonic series mode to work with harmonic intervals as opposed to quantised musical intonation. It's a stunning bit of kit that was incredibly musical and interactive."

5U // MacBeth - MK1 Filter A

DiscoverNoise 109-
5U 022-

"This is the demo I originally wanted to start DiscoverNoise with. Ken (MacBeth) and I had a longer talk at MusikMesse some years ago and he kinda inspired me to do DiscoverNoise. Anyway, Ken is a great guy, making great sounding synthesizers.
This is the demo of his 5U MK1 series filter A."

OBERHEIM OB-X Analog Synthesizer (1979) *Time*

Published on Sep 7, 2017 RetroSound

"(c) 2017 vintage synthesizer demo by RetroSound

all synthesizer sounds: Oberheim OB-X Analog Synthesizer from the year 1979

The Oberheim OB-X is for me the greatest analog polysynth of all time. The sound is stunning, organic and very powerful. The sound character (based of the discrete circuits and the SEM design VCF) is different to the later curtis chip based OB-Xa and OB-8."

Deluge and Oberheim OB-Xa

"Today I got my Deluge delivered from New Zealand. This is a little track I did with my 33 year old Oberheim OB-Xa. Two very inspiring instruments! :)"

Ian Fritz Bistromath and Livewire Audio Frequency Generator - Krautrock

Published on Sep 7, 2017 isvisible / isinvisible

"Audio:
Bass - PDO
Fuzzy tones etc - AFG (modulated by Bistromath)
Noise bursts - A-118
Bass drum - Orgone Accumulator
Snare drum - D-333

The Bistromath combines the Ian Fritz designed Threeler VCF, the ChaQuo and the Jerkster, and is an absolute beast.

"I was fooling around with my new Moog Mother-32 and this track kind of just happened. I put some flute, bass and rhodes down, and finished with some live Drumbrute. Hope you like!

If you do, it's available for download here: https://chriswhitestore.bandcamp.com/...

All drum sounds come from the DrumBrute as seen in this video. Other instruments include flute, electric bass, Fender Rhodes, Moog Mother-32, various sample instruments."

3 Modules #22: Maths, Brain Seed, µScale

Published on Sep 7, 2017 Comparative Irrelevance

"We all suspected Maths is evil. Now there's proof.

Patch notes:
I'm using Maths as a dual oscillator drone voice by cycling both functions at audio frequency rate. The "both" inputs are handy for this, as they let you change the rise and fall rates simultaneously, without altering the waveform. Unfortunately they don't track 1V/Oct, so I'm using channel 3 to attenuate the incoming pitch sequence to try to approach some semblance of musical intervals here. As you can see I'm also continuously tuning the oscillators via "the blue knobs"™, looking for interesting beating or harmonic intervals between the oscillators. Changing the rise or fall rate individually has the neat side effect of changing both pitch and harmonics (waveform) at the same time.

To control the drone pitch, I'm using brain seed to generate a stepped sequence. It's receiving a steady external clock to get the patch going. This sequence is then being quantized by the µScale, just to narrow down the random selection a bit (because Maths doesn't track pitch anyways, remember).

Finally, I've cheated in some extra delay and reverb here, to get that proper evil drone ambience going.

Thanks for watching!"
