Mutable Instruments - Plaits - Stereo Demo Jam

Published on Mar 3, 2018 DivKidVideo

"Here's my first video with Plaits from Mutable Instruments. For the most part I have the module patched in stereo with the main out panned hard left and the aux out panned main right. Now this ISN'T a stereo module but for the sake of demoing two sounds at once (headphones will help you here) and also showing that some of the modes do work really well in stereo that's how I made this quick jam demo. Information on the links/site below and more videos coming soon. Cheers!

Event Boss from Abstract Data
PICO RND from Erica Synths

Mutable Instruments Plaits talks!

"A short rundown of the latter half of the vowel and speech synthesis mode.

7 o clock to 11 o clock on the HARMONIC knob fades between formant filtering, SAM and LPC vowels (not featured in video), this focusses on the latter set of sounds where Banks of words are selected using the HARMONIC knob, MORPH selects words within the bank, TIMBRE alters the gender/species of the sayer of the words.

I'm loosely scanning through the word

X1L3 - SHARD - power electronics - rituals - trials

Published on Mar 3, 2018 manufacturedZ3R0

"Two shards - one automated by midi to gate to generate the drone, the other manipulated manually to drive the chaos.

Shard 1 is passed through a filter and then clouds to add reverb. This automated unit also has wreckage, a simple companion module connected to the audio input. This is bought in towards the end.

Shard 2 is clean with persudatron connected to the audio input. Persuadatron is an FM radio receiver with gating controls over tuning, volume etc. Any audio source at the audio in of shard will disrupt the oscillators, a radio is particularly good at this and can be heard mid way in the hands on chaotic section.

To summarize, Shard 1 for the first third, creeping in as the filter is opened up, changing timbre via osc gate automation about midway. A vca gate is then opened for shard 2 at two thirds and the chaos begins - letting persuadatrons commercial radio gash bleed through in places. The gate is closed at the final third, shard 1 takes control again and the set fades into sludge discord as wreckage is bought in and the filter is closed.

For anyone vaguely interested - shard, wreckage and persuadatron up for sale soon at:

Looptrotter Monster abusing a Korg Volca FM

Published on Mar 3, 2018 Miguel d'Oliveira

"First attempt to mangle & distort a synth sound from a Korg Volca FM with the mighty FET compressor / tube saturator Looptrotter Monster.
Very promising, I think.
Deliberately picked a sound that I hate (gold old digital piano) to see if I could turn it into something I liked."
