Let's Create: Minimal Techno with the Teenage Engineering OP-1 (short Track)

Published on Apr 7, 2018 umonox

"Hello my Friends! My vacation is over now, but i still wanna share this one with you: Another Let's Create with the almighty OP-1 from Teenage Engineering! :-) And its Minimal Techno again. At least i think it's Minimal Techno. But im not sure, since the definition of Genres constantly changes from decade to decade :-D At least it is what i associate with that Music Genre.

I hope you like this one. It took much longer to create than you actually see. I had something different in the making for almost the whole week - until i noticed it doesnt work and i had to scratch everything. So i ended up with this one :-)

Leave me a like if you enjoyed this Video, hit Subscribe if you havent so already - and i wish you a great time my friends! I see you very soon.

All the best,
umonox"

New Lap Synths

I posted the following on Twitter and thought I'd capture them here as well.

"Huge thx to @Perfect_Circuit for scoring me a brand new @accessmusic Virus TI2! Fired it up for the first time last night. Blown away. Incredibly diverse. That's it on my lap with an @ArturiaOfficial KeyStep. :) Also with my new @dsiSequential OB-6! Two amazing synths!"

They both are truly amazing. The OB-6 replaces my OB-Xa and in my opinion, it is just as warm and full sounding, more-so actually. It's easy to get engulfed in the raw sound of it, and it can actually take a little work, or rather will power, to mellow it out like the OB-Xa. The OB-Xa, an amazing synth in its own right, of course, is actually a very simple synth in architecture. The OB-6 appears just as simple on the surface, but I'm finding it capable of so much more. That said, it does lack the silkier 4-pole filter of the OB-Xa. The 2-pole SEM based filter sizzles, but it can be tamed.

The Virus TI2, on the digital side of things, is an absolutely astounding sounding synth. I was expecting it to have that typical sheen that colors many other VAs, but it doesn't - it sounds incredibly direct and present. It has that certain clarity you typically only find in higher end synths. I've always wanted one new but I kept holding out for the latest model. They are getting harder to find, so I figured it was now or never. I checked the shop sites on the right, here on MATRIXSYNTH, and saw that Perfect Circuit Audio was the only ones that had them listed as available for order. I reached out to them and they ordered one directly from Access for me. It took a couple of months as they are on back order, but mine finally arrived! P.S. Huge thanks to Meryam and Brad at Perfect Circuit - they were great to deal with!

As you can see below, I also picked up a few other lap synths as well. Why lap synths? I've been finding I'm having less and less time to make it into the studio, so I'm spending more time with smaller synths on my lap. :)

54HP Episode 3: Incessant Noodler

Published on Apr 6, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"In episode 3 of 54HP we put together a generative ambient system called the “Incessant Noodler” which will just keep playing droney ambient music for as long as you let it. It has a few random voltage generators to create sequences and modulation, then a powerful quantizer with built in shift register will convert those random voltages into a scale. For generating sounds the Noodler has an analog and a digital VCO and envelope with built in VCA. To make everything sound more ambient there are two effects units with multiple types of delays and reverbs to create a wash of sounds from your generative sequence.

Let us know in the comments what type 54hp of case you want to see next.

Make Noise Wogglebug
2HP Turing Machine
