Published on Jan 8, 2018 VJ FRANZ K

"New music app! Do you want this? Have a look, and a listen to the Groove Rider 16 software 'groovebox', which is similar to the Electribes you'll often see me play on this channel. ( Please like, and subscribe? )
[ Sorry, the audio is slightly overloaded. I'm using a new mixer and camera! ]"

iTunes: Groove Rider GR-16 - Dmitrij Pavlov

"Groove Rider GR-16 is a professional step-sequenced groove box, inspired by professional hardware drum machines and rhythm boxes. It has a powerful Poison-202 based two oscillator synthesizer engine, plus a big variety of included PCM drum samples, insert/send/master effects, arpeggiator, automation recording, modulator, ADSR and filter block, and more! Built-in factory pattern library includes patterns in different music styles, which will inspire you (the list will be appended with the regular updates). Check out the patterns demo video: [posted here]

One remarkable feature of GR-16 is that all the controls are arranged on one screen, just like on a real groove box device! It lets you access almost all useful parameters from the one screen. Forget about numerous sub-windows and dialogs, which ruined your inspiration in another musical apps! Groove Rider is the fastest path from your imagination to reality!

You can use GR-16 as a ready-to-go realtime musical instrument (groove box) in your jam sessions together with Ableton Link feature to synchronize it with your other music gear. Groove Rider is also very handy for quickly sketching your musical ideas, allowing you to instantly record them directly by using the Record function. Making music becomes easy and fun, in contrast with boring note drawing process and dealing with tons of files and expensive plugins in the DAW's! Don't loose your inspiration, boost it up with Groove Rider!

Hainbach - Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen | tape loop ambient

Published on Jan 7, 2018 HAINBACH

"For a play I am scoring I recorded the first few bars of the vocal melody from Gustav Mahler's Song "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen" on a tape loop and went up to an old chapel in the Black Forest. Winds shook the camera, but it was a fitting atmosphere to perform and record this piece.

Mid-'80s Synth Pop / Italo Disco with DrumTraks & DW-8000

Published on Jan 7, 2018 SynthMania

"[The full music mix starts at 2:40] Sooo many people ask me to do '80s Synth Pop / Italo Disco, so here's a little ditty in that vein. I used only one Sequential Circuits DrumTraks drum machine (1983), and one Korg DW-8000 synth (1985). Most of the effects come from the DW-8000's on-board DDL FX, and I added some slight reverb in the DAW. Enjoy and thank you for watching"

Make Noise LxD Resonance Demonstration

Published on Jan 7, 2018

"This is a response to the first half of 'Advanced Patching with LxD' video from Make Noise. [posted here]

Patch Notes:

Intelijel Dixie II+ Oscillator waveform out into Maths channel #2 set to +10V.

Sum out of Maths into LxD 12db Signal Input.

Output of LxD 12db section into a Buffered Multiple.

One multiple going to Channel #3 of Maths which applies the amount of inverted feedback ( -0.1V to -5V).

One Multiple going to Manhatten Analog DTM Mixer.

Mixer output goes to Mordax Data's Oscilliscope (Green Trace).

Mordax output to Make Noise Optomix as a final out.

Korg SQ-1 pitch CV is feeding 1V/O of the Dixie II+ Oscillator.

SQ-1 is also sending Gate CV to Make Noise 0-Coast's Contour Section (Gate Input).

Contour's output is input to LxD's 12db section's CV in (Vactrol Gate).

Contour output is split and fed into Mordax Data's Scope (Blue Trace).

Second Gate output from SQ-1 shows Gate and Gate Length in Mordax Data's scope (Red Trace).

Contour's Sustain level knob is controlling the LxD's Vactrol Gate frequency response acting as a "filter cutoff"... (not sure if that is technically correct...It's cool though..)

Playing with the Gate Length on the SQ-1 is really fun here. Especially when the gate length is at a maximum level (Gate High) and you sweep the Sustain level knob on the Contour section.

Increasing the Inverted signal of Maths Channel #3 will introduce some extreme resonance. Dialing in the amount of inverted signal can show a great range of sonic character. Thank You Make Noise Music!!"

Roland Boutique SH-01A with Wood Side Panels in Latest Roland R-07 Video

Published on Jan 7, 2018 RolandChannel

You can see it 18 seconds in. There was rumor this might be a new synth coming from Roland. It's clearly an SH-01 and K-25m keyboard with wood side panels. What's interesting is I don't think Roland released a version with wood side panels. There are custom ones out there.

This one in via Soviet Space Child.
