Artists & ARTURIA #49 Robert Dudzic meets MiniBrute 2

Published on Jul 9, 2018 Arturia

"Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 10 years, you’ll have heard the work of Robert Dudzic. Almost single-handedly defining that cinematic sound that give movie trailers their immersive, compelling sonic signature. We interviewed this humble genius, and revealed some of the secrets of legendary sound design, and how Arturia’s analog instruments enhance his workflow."

HHNOI - They Ate The Clouds (elephant version)

Published on Jul 9, 2018 HHNOI

"A live modular synth performance of the track "They ate the clouds", as featured on the HHNOI Kallocain EP, out July 6th on modularfields

Main track recorded in a single take without a computer involved for sequencing or editing. All modular sounds routed through Expert Sleepers ES 8 and ES 6 into Logic for mixing and mastering. No additional edits or computer voodoo involved.

Visuals done with a simple visualizer patch on an external laptop, which was fed with the monitor output and then projected on my living room wall.

Video was taken with an iPhone X through several sessions, hence the different angles. Cut, synced and processed in Final Cut Pro.

Dedicated to RP."

Making tracks - Belgium to Berlin - Electribe 2

Published on Jul 9, 2018 zafrosoundz

"On holiday in Belgium with tickets to watch Pearl Jam in Berlin. I always take something with me to make music, this time it is only the Electribe 2 as we're not staying as long as usual. The journey from Belgium to Berlin takes about 8 hours so I had the idea to make music on the way to alleviate the boredom and hopefully come up with some ideas for a little video. So here it is. Let me know what you think.

Recorded live using my Zoom Q8 and Go pro Hero."

Panic Voice - Data-Distort Oscillator (cedar)

Etsy Listing:::

https://etsy.me/2MVNf6C

-Panic Voice-

A stand-alone digital synthesizer voice that operates within the newly unexplored realm of 'data distortion' type synthesis.

This uniquely digital method of sound creation yields extreme and unexplained synthesized audio that challenges the sanity of even the most experimental avant-garde "synth nerd"

operation of the -Panic Voice- synthesizer is more like operating an instant replay camera than it is playing a typical desktop synthesizer. This instant replay camera that you control is constantly viewing a forced and controlled explosion of sound data being translated into audio output (3.55mm jack) .

This explosion of sound data results from the forced combination (smashing) of multiple over-sized waveform data arrays into one small audio stream. These data arrays represent complex organic shapes that start to squeal, grind, and rumble as their digital representations are 'smashed' together and forced to occupy the same digital audio space. This never ending fight for the audio stream results in strange and extreme interactions (battles) between the wavetables as their unique shapes match up and overflow in wildly unexpected ways. Disturbing phase distortion timbres and hyper-aliased percussive trips are found through the viewing and manipulation of this explosion [panic] using the controls of the device (8 Knobs)

First SSP Software Update 08072018

via the Percussa Kickstarter:

"Hi everyone,

It’s time for the first update to the SSP software! We have been working crazy hard the past week on the software :-) Below is an overview of all the stuff we implemented:

Features

New and better Preset Format (with backwards compatibility)

We developed and implemented a brand new preset format, which allows us to add new modules, parameters and modulation inputs/outputs more easily. The file format also drastically reduces preset file size, and thus the load / switching time of presets. We built-in backward compatibility, so you can still load your current presets. Once you save them, they will be saved in the new format. As long as you don’t save them, they will stay in the old format. Doing this was a major project, because we had to make sure we could load both the old and new formats.

Improvements to the Sampler Module

The sampler module has now 8 gate inputs and 8 sample playback outputs, which means you can trigger each of the individual slots in the sampler using a gate input. The input is a trigger input, meaning that it only cares about the signal rising about a certain threshold, and doesn’t care of the signal falls after that. The layer feature was removed because it is no longer necessary (you can send multiple sampler outputs into one output in the grid, which is the same thing). The slot selection feature was also removed since selecting an output using a modulation signal is a job for a different module (e.g. a signal switching module). Finally we changed the Coarse/Fine settings in the sampler to TuneC/TuneF, which is tune coarse and tune fine. Those two parameters can be used to set the original pitch the sound was recorded at. The Sampler now also compensates for sample rate differences (system sample rate vs sample rate from the sample) and I also worked on the pitch/frequency modulation inputs so it now tracks correctly (hopefully :). One other change I made is that now you can trigger the sampler, even though it might be in looping mode. So the looping mode does NOT ignore the trigger input now.

Casio MT-45, M-10 & VL-1 Casiotone improvisation/performance

Published on Jul 8, 2018 DreamsOfWires

"Casio MT45, M10 & VL1 improvised, recorded in real-time without overdubs. This was only supposed to be the demo recording, but my VL-1 just blew a gasket... or something. In the meantime, here's the initial session, which wasn't filmed, unfortunately, but I still quite like it anyway. It's based on a compostion I recorded 10 years ago using software simulations of big, expensive polysynths.
I acquired these 3 keyboards for pocket money a while back, and I'm quite fond of their sound character. I also get a kick out of creating something I like with cheap gear that many people would turn their nose up at.

Finer details:
MT-45: Initial drone and 2nd organ sound.
VL-1: Melody line (custom 'ADSR' sound).
M-10: 1st organ and flute sound.
Recorded in AUM on an iPad over 3 channels with Audio Damage EOS2 reverb.
Video is a flight home from Frankfurt, Germany to Heathrow, UK... I think. Filmed on an iPhone SE."
