D.G. - Novatrance / Live Improvisation / Novation Ultranova / Launch Control XL / Trance

Published on Apr 22, 2018 Dee Gee

"Ok, here's my another live improvisation it's a bit old (one year, but still..)

I played it on Novation Ultranova using my own synth presets created from scratch, most of them have 2 voices.

I used DM2 (iOS app) to compose drum tracks in advance after that I switched between them during playing.

All were recorded live simultaneously via Focusrite Scarlet 8x6
Cubasis Mobile was used as a DAW

Ultranova was controlled by Launcontrol XL and a 25 key keyboard with faders (for an upper octave and volume control) they were routed via MIDI IO app.

Zoom multistomp MS-70CDR was used as an effect processor for Nova and recorded along with its clean sound. (from digital and analog outputs of the NOVA)

Mobile Set:

Hardware:
- Novation Ultranova
- Novation Launch Control XL
- 25 Key Midi Keyboard
- Powered USB Hub
- iPad PRO
- Focusrite Scarlet 8x6
- Zoom Multistomp MS-70CDR
- Sustain Pedal

Software:
- Cubasis
- MIDI IO
- DM2

Repairing and cleaning a BOSS DR-660

Published on Apr 23, 2018 organfairy

"The demo starts at 3:25.

In my repair and cleaning series about the pile of musical items I bought at a second hand shop I have now come to the drum machine: The BOSS DR-660. There wasn't any serious problems to take care off. Just a dead RAM battery and the unit was even so informative that it automatically told me that this was the problem.

The music - apart from the demo - is 'Children of Paradise' which was originally a disappointing single for Boney M and marked the beginning of their decline in the early 1980s. I play it on my Elka X-1000."

WMD Fracture - How to make analog style clap sounds

Published on Apr 23, 2018 WMDevices

"The WMD Fracture is a super versatile eurorack module capable of making sounds that range from analogue, xox style claps, to loose groups of people clapping together in a room, and much further into weirdness with it's Direct CV control and Oscillation capabilities.

In this video, we quickly show the settings of where we like to start when creating an Analog style clap that sounds like it came right off of a vintage drum machine. This module is obviously capable of so much more, but sometimes you just need a nice sounding, solid, punchy, fat, clap sound on that two and for. Use it like a snare, use it to pat yourself on the back. The choice is yours."

How to "upgrade" the Behringer Model D to a duophonic synth

Published on Apr 23, 2018 loopop

"The Behringer Model D is a great analog synth - and by design it's monophonic. However, if you've seen my channel before, you know I'm not going to let that stop me from trying to play more than one note at a time with it, something that has a unique characteristic in synthesizers that are intended to be monophonic.

You can't control any of its 3 oscillators separately, but there's a fourth oscillator that can be controlled independently, and that's the filter - via a dedicated CV input - and when you crank up emphasis all the way, it resonates and creates its own tone. The nice thing about the D, is that there's resonance both in high pass and in low pass modes, which opens up a lot of sonic possibilities.

This does require a little configuration trick. When playing duo-phonically, the keyboard sends two notes - so we need a way to tell the D's oscillators to play one, and the filter to play the other.

In the particular case of the Arturia Keystep, which is what I use in this clip, that's achieved by setting note priority on the D to LOW, and CV out priority on the Keystep to HIGH. CV then controls the high note, and MIDI the low one. This trick lets you play two notes at once on the D.

The final piece in the puzzle is that the Behringer Model D's CV tracking on the filter doesn't quite track at 1 volt per octave, but it's close enough. If you're playing the filter notes in a one octave range, depending on your sensitivity, that might not be noticeable, but it does become apparent across a few octaves. The way to solve this is to interject a module like Befaco's A*B+C, which, with a bit of fiddling back and forth, can produce a result which tunes quite nicely. Since I don't have the module, I used the techniques shown in my "hybrid modular" video to use a virtual version of that module in VCV Rack."
