The First Fire

"The Promethean Chord. Six oscillators stacked three ways and sequenced with two Q960's. Another trio of notes sequenced with the Q119. The bass line is sequenced from the Metropolis. Fast looping sequences from the STG Suite. Drums sequenced from Grids and 4MS RCD. A played line with the OB6."

Mutable Instruments Clouds as a Lo-fi Tape Delay

Published on Jan 1, 2018 r beny

"Demonstration of Mutable Instruments Clouds Texture Synthesizer as a Lo-fi Tape Delay. Lovely warble and disintegration on the repeats. Reverb, filtering and diffusion for tone and texture control.

Note: works best on the Parasite Firmware pre-V2.0. To access the delay, it is the third mode known as Looping Delay. The quality setting should be set to one of the 8-bit modes. Position sets delay time. Texture is a multimode filter. Density adds diffusion, I personally like it at 0. Size has no effect unless the buffer is frozen.

Video starts with a simple monophonic sawtooth arp sequence from the Novation Peak. I slowly bring in the wet signal with the Blend control. I also bring up the feedback and reverb with the Blend control. There is a sweet spot for feedback. Too much feedback and things get out of control. Near the end, I take the incoming signal out and just let the repeats feedback into themselves before freezing the buffer and playing with that for a bit."

Buchla 200e and Synthi - Hypnotics

Published on Jan 1, 2018 djangosfire

"“Hypnotics” - Buchla 200e and Synthi Patch Improv, January 01, 2018

More Buchla 200e sonic exploring, using my Sample and Hold, CV stage selection patch.

Modules used for this patch:

STUDIO.H ( More info: http://studiohsoftware.com/modular/ )
- “Dual Programmable Oscillator” (early rev prototype)
- 254e “Quad Control Voltage Processor”

Buchla:
- 250e Dual Arbitrary Function Generator (Sequencer)
- 266e Source of Uncertainty
- 281e Quad Function Generator
- 292e Quad Dynamics Manager (Lopass Gates)
- 206e Six Channel Mixer & Preset Manager
- LEM218 Touch Activated Voltage Source (218e in a skiff)

Buchla 200e stereo audio output patched into the EMS AKS Synthi for processing (reverb and filtering etc). Audio sent to console and through Roland RE-301 Chorus Echo Tape delay, then into the computer DAW.

Thank you for listening!

Another Behringer Teaser

This new pic is making the rounds. Some question whether it could be an ARP 2600 clone, but I'm not seeing it.  Look at the 7 x 8 patch grid, the MIDI/DIN socket and the knob placement.  If you have any ideas, feel free to leave a comment.

The previous leak had the following:

WASP DELUXE
ARP 2600
Octave CAT
SYNTHI VCS3
Roland SH-101 (3 colors)
KORG MS20

None appear to match as far as a direct clone goes.  Maybe it will be based on one like the DeepMind 12 was based on the Roland Juno-106.

Mason Self TRILLER Midi Pitch Controller

Published on Jan 1, 2018 Mason Self

"Triller is an alternative Midi Controller for sending pitch bend messages."

via Mason Self

"I'm very excited to share this project.

I've been curious about different approaches to designing MIDI controllers. For this first project, I'm focusing on harnessing pitch bend in a more flexible way than a pitch bend wheel, and a more fun way than - God forbid - the pencil tool in your DAW.

I've made a very small batch of Trillers and I'd love to share them with you. Since this is still a beta version, I'm asking $150 + shipping (that's cost of materials and a tiny bit extra for labor). I'm also asking that you go the distance with me and give me feedback to make the Triller even better. It's fully functional, but I have hunch that you can help me hone in the last 5-15% of the design / functionality / use.

Please watch this tutorial and make sure you understand the specs before purchasing. I do not think the Triller is for everyone, but could be an exciting new tool for some.

SPECS

Arduino based MIDI controller
5" x 3 3/16" x 3"
Communicates via USB
Bus or DC Powered
Can be used to control any soft or hardware synthesizer that speaks MIDI
Does not generate sound on it's own."

Macbeth's Elements Synthesizer Droning (Have a Nice Trip)

Published on Jan 1, 2018 martinjazz78

"(For your maximum experience good speakers or headphones are recommended while watching the video)

Ken Macbeth's Elements Synthesizer droning while ring modulated with Moogerfooger MF-102. Its Carrier Out goes into Ext. Amp In on the Elements and gets pretty bad, I would say.

Modulations option on the Elements Synthesizer are indeed very complex and rich and quickly gets you to rather distant galaxies. On-board delay (also heavily modulated) adds great organic feel. If you may, listen also with subwoofer, so you enjoy also the Elements' low end pumping.

Only Elements' internal on-board effects (reverb and delay) used. No further processing. Tweaked live on the fly, no over-dubbing etc.

I hope you are having a nice trip and your landing is going to be safe ;)"
