Digitone & SP404SX jam session

Published on Feb 28, 2018 MiREKO

"Ok so got my Digitone last week, haven't had a chance to really play around on it with work and other commitments..
Finally had a bit of time to jam, this is just one pattern and playing around, not planned or practiced so very sloppy and some Doh! moments with moving sweeps too fast or going into bad areas on the filters. But thought I would post anyway."

How to bring you the famous 70s analog stringensemble sound in a Casio CZ synthesizer

part. 3 of the CASIO CZ sound tutorial [more posts here]
The famous 70s stringensemble sound.

Sure the CASIO CZ is no Solina or Logan but the sound very like the Farfisa String Orchestra or Elec String Orchestra.

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

The lush 70s string ensemble sound is one of the most iconic sounds in history of synthesizers with soul. Try it.

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

With a EHX small stone phase shifter can you create Jarre soundscapes."

Makenoise 0-Coast: Timbre Space 02

Published on Feb 27, 2018 C Nich0lls

"Short, sound exploration of a patch that was used for the 'heartbeat' percussion on the last 0-Coast Ambient video. Just demoing/exploring a sound as I found the patch generated an interesting texture.

Starting with the basic patch, note that the addition of the random generator both affects the sound and also creates an uneven rhythmic cycle. The rhythmic cycle can be adjusted by turning the pot on the voltage math as the 2 outputs are controlling Time on the SLOPE generator and DCY on the CONTOUR generator.

2 pedals are used (off camera). The first is a Strymon TimeLine delay and the second is the Red Panda bitmap. The Red Panda was also used on he previous video.

The patch can be seen at the start of the clip, but most of the fun comes from the random source. It doesn't have to be clocked at audio rates for this patch to work.

Adjusting Balance and Dynamics pots leads to different tones. Also play around with the main pitch to create different 'drums'.

Recorded in single take to Ableton Live. No further processing post guitar pedals."

"I guess the Farfisa was on a whole load of records from my teens. Either way it has become one of my go to instruments at the moment. love it.

The Organelle is playing a little sequence on the Braids patch made by 'thetechnobear' https://patchstorage.com/brds-mpe/ a port of the Mutable Braids eurorack module"
