Published on Feb 21, 2018 Dziam Bass

"this video shows the moment of unpacking and the first sound Treadstone gives from Analogue Solutions.the first sound is the basis for the further exploitation of the patch and the creation of unique sounds with the analogue sound typical of Analogue Solutions. a small Synthesizer with a huge sound and lots of connection options are the advantages of Treadstone."

Elektron Digitone Jam - Light Through The Veins (Jon Hopkins)

Published on Feb 21, 2018 Rephazer

"Hi there, here is my first try-out with the Elektron Digitone and what happens when the init preset of a synth is a Sine wave for a change..? In my case Jon Hopkins and his magical song 'Light Through The Veins' comes to mind :)

This is of course a quickly made and very minimal interpretation/cover of Jon Hopkins song and I am sorry for the shaky camera on the Digitone.. It was a very raw, quickly made/recorded jam, but nevertheless I had fun making this and I hope you like it. Cheers!"

20 02 18 BugBrand Modular System

"I broke my rule of 30 minutes per session max. Could not stop with this one :)
Broke also my rule of not putting the volume too loud in the studio.
Sounds of course 'a bit different' on these monitors when it's played live (I still like these Focal monitors very much btw).
Did not broke the third rule of 'always a unique take on video, no rehearsal', but I should have: the hihat is fading out way too quickly haha! And I missed one switch on the sequencer for setting a 4/4 bass drum when the BD comes in :)

The Orgone Accumulator is producing the main sequence and I use the joystick to open more or less the VCA, so the notes of this sequence are shorter (staccato) or longer. I "double" the sound coming out of the OA and sent it to 2 different inputs on the mixer. The second one goes into a filter in HP mode being slowly modulated. We hear this one better in the outro for instance, while I fade the first out.

The highest note in the mix fading in and out from time to time is generated by the COF filte used here only in self-oscillation mode, modulated by an LFO from the QuadSine. I added effects to this one.

DRM1 + Xpander for the beat.
No Radio Music for the beat in this patch, but I'll might in a future mix. Maybe... I'm glad to have all these different options at hand."

How to bring you the 10.000$ Yamaha CS-80 sound in a 200$ Casio CZ synthesizer

Published on Feb 20, 2018 RetroSound

"(c) 2018 vintage synthesizer demo by RetroSound

The feedback to my last Casioheim video was so big so I want to make another sound tutorial with one the most famous sounds from the expensive Yamaha CS-80. The vangelic synthbrass sound.

It`s an experiment that show how can bring expensive sounds in cheap synths. It`s all about good sound programming.

The famous CS-80 synth brass sound is one of the most iconic sounds in history of synthesizers. Used by Vangelis in the Bladerunner soundtrack. Sure is the Casio CZ no CS-80. The CS-80 is fantastic with unique sound. But you can create also on cheap and underrated synths sounds with legendary soul. Try it.

I used a bit Lexicon MPX delay and Roland SRV reverb here."

you, me and all these machines

“You, me and all these machines” is a performance for voice and electronic devices. The vocalist puts on his or her head a specially designed wearable interface tool to interact with the voice and display a visual score. Technically, the device consists of several elements: a narrowly directional microphone driven by a motor; an LED strip that shows the vocalist score; remote control with a joystick used by the second participant to control the interface. Shifting the microphone against the mouth makes it possible to achieve interesting sound effects, and makes it easier to manipulate the vocalist's voice. The LED line consisting of 10 diodes is a very primitive, but effective and convenient way of interacting with the vocalist, and the way of interpreting the values ​​is predetermined before each performance. During the performance, a sound canvas is formed, thereby changing the dynamics, consisting of a set of looped fragments created within voice and interface processing elements, without using other methods to generate sounds.

Initially, the project was built around the idea of using the body and its capabilities as a starting point or even a resource for later use in a hybrid work. However, the idea was subsequently transformed into a more subtle practice of interaction between two artists, using an electronic device and sound performance as its direct consequence. At the same time, the idea of ​​domination and manipulation was replaced by sensitive interaction, and the "resource" became more and more a source of inspiration. In many ways, the work can be described as a way of interpreting complexities in the relations between a couple, and the displacement of these complexities to the domain of creative interaction.
