027//Quest of Bones - a self generating track by a Moog DFAM and 2x Mother 32

Published on Jun 9, 2018 Alastair Wilson

"A semi-self-generating patch using 2 Mother 32s sent through an Eventide Space hall reverb, and a DFAM sent through an Eventide Timefactor on moddelay setting.

This patch came about when I was playing with the idea of using Karplus-Strong synthesis (using short delays which 'ring out' when noise triggers them) with the DFAM to give it more texture. At the same time, I was thinking about making a patch where the pulse width of a square wave on the M32 was modulated with a square LFO to give a rhythmic tremolo. This patch was the result of mixing those ideas!

PATCH NOTES:
The lower M32 is the bass, with a square LFO clocking it and the DFAM (on drums), while the same LFO modulates the pulse width of the VCO's square wave through 0 width (silencing it when the LFO is low). The higher M32, which plays the high notes, is randomly triggered by the lower M32. The lower M32 has its sequencer glitched to run at 1/12 the speed of the DFAM, and is turning off and on by another square LFO. This gives the overall rhythm of the patch. For a bit of interest, the saw wave output of the lower M32 is sent to the external audio input of the DFAM, and the DFAM's VCO 2 is occasionally mixed with the lower M32 to give it reverb. Everything is controlled by the random stepped voltages from the Assign outputs of the M32s.

"apeMatrix is a unique AU/IAA routing tool that gives you total control over what you want to do and how you want to do it.

Holding true to the standard of apeSoft, apeMatrix continues to push the limits of possibilities in music creation. Automating almost every aspect of linked control, apeMatrix brings all your creation tools together and links them both in MIDI and audio. Letting you inject all your favorite FX both AU and IAA in a very easy and intuitive way. apeMatrix can also assign its Control Manager MIDI, Accelerometer, Scrub and LFO’s to modulate every built-in parameter and any parameter available inside the AUv3 (Audio Unit Plugins).

apeMatrix offers 10 slots on each of the three Matrix grids with 2 bus slots on each grid that make it possible to interconnect all 3 Matrix. The MIDI Patchbay also offers endless possibilities for MIDI routing and control in a similar grid design for both internal and external MIDI control. So you can send and receive MIDI and have ultimate control over where its routed.

Each Audio Connection on the grid has its own gain control. Just tap on the node and drag will give you the full range of volume control. Or use Mixer to controls the RAU output and automate them using apeSoft’s unique Control Manager MIDI, Accelerometer, Scrub and LFO’s to modulate every built-in parameter and any parameter available inside the AUv3 (Audio Unit Plugins).

Turn each slot on or off by a control switch on the Matrix or MIDI control. Control output, pan, mute and solo of each slot and Master output of each Matrix with the built in mixer control or MIDI control.

Route your sounds through all a series of FX or route multiple sounds through the very some FX. The possibilities are as endless as your creativity.

Pocket Operators play Aquatic Ambience (Donkey Kong Country)

Published on Jun 9, 2018 0F.digital

"I made a cover of Aquatic Ambience from Donkey Kong Country using the PO-33 and PO-35. It took me a while to learn how to play the melodies live, and I still didn't get it quite right! Hope it isn't too jarring.

All sounds are from Nord Lead, compressed and edited quite heavily in order to fit them on the PO-33 and still sound good. The PO-35 is only being used for lead (sounds also from the Nord!) in this video.

If you like, you can purchase the pattern and sound data for the PO-33 part of this track at the following link:
https://gum.co/EuYEw

PO-33 is running through a Behringer RV600, and PO-35 is running through a Behringer EM600. Both treated with some EQ and compression in Reaper. The raw audio was nice, but I think the effects really made the sounds come alive. I highly recommend using the Pocket Operators with pedals!

Special thanks to 8-bit Music Theory for the very helpful video featuring this track. Without it I wouldn't have been able to get the chords just right! Check it out:

4 Operator Analog FM Synthesizer & FM Tutorial

Published on Jun 8, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"We had the Intellijel Rubicon 2 through-zero oscillators in, so we decided to build a ridiculous modular frequency modulation synthesizer with four of them. They are routed through a 4MS VCA Matrix for easier routing of FM 'algorithms'. A Quadra and Make Noise Maths are used to generate envelopes and LFOs that can modulate FM amount. Since we had this synthesizer put together we decided to make a quick tutorial about how FM synthesis works.

The sequencing technique with the Seq occurred to me earlier in the week after looking at the monome grid and how people are using it.....
