Do You Like Our Owl? - Moog Mother 32, OP-1, Bastl Granny and Korg 05R/W

Published on Feb 24, 2018 Lowering Skies

"There's no hope in the future. Only rain and neon sparks in the night.

The background pads are coming from Yamaha DX7, processed with Paul's Extreme Sound Stretch and then played with granulation using Bastl Granny 2.0
OP-1 is responsible for FM Brass sound and drums.
The background sequence is coming from Moog's Mother 32 — nothing fancy, just a sequencer playing notes in sync with the background pads.
Korg 05R/W holds most of the melody and I must say it's an amazing artifact from the past, capable not only bringing the 80s sound but also gives a highly dense atmosphere even using stock presets."

013//Radio Static - 2x Moog Mother 32 self-generating track

Published on Mar 5, 2018 Alastair Wilson

"A lo-fi, melodic, semi-self-generating modular patch using a small Eurorack setup sent through an Eventide Space dynaverb reverb and an Eventide Timefactor on vintage delay setting. No other processing has been applied.

The patch is semi-random; the backing arpeggios and filter sweeps are expected, but the notes supply the main melody are randomly chosen by the random stepped voltage that comes from the Assign output.

I created this patch after scrolling through the presets on the Eventide Space for the first time ever! I found a preset called Radio Static, which creates a gritty reverb by using a compressor with attack and release times so fast they create digital distortion. I loved the sound of it and so this patch was born. The only other particularly interesting feature is that I converted the random stepped voltage to random gates by triggering the Gate input of the lower Mother 32 with the random voltage. I then took the Gate output and sent that to the higher Mother 32's VCF Cutoff input to open the filter.

A side note - although it looks like Veils in the top left is part of the patch, I'm only using it as a mixer, to turn down the volume of the Mother 32s before they enter the Timefactor.

Deluge - 1.4.0 Firmware Update

Published on Mar 4, 2018 Synthstrom Audible

"We're very excited to announce a new update for the Deluge.

Head to "downloads" on https://synthstrom.com/product/deluge/ to install now.

New features include:
-- Note probability
-- Iteration dependence (e.g. "play on the 3rd of every 4 track iterations")
-- Copy / paste current track-screen view
-- Track solo mode
-- Multiple tracks may send to the same MIDI output channel
-- File browser scrolls long filenames left and right so you can read them, and now orders files alphabetically
-- "Undo" now works in song view for note recording and parameters / automation
-- Fixed problem where DC offset could build up in delay, leading the sound to 'fuzz out'"
