Sequence & Synth: Digitone!

Published on Jul 28, 2018 junklight

"I've been going through a period of looking at my music practice and the equipment I have - making sure I'm using it all (or selling it).

I knew I wanted to keep the digitone - I've been an FM enthusiast since I had a DX7 back in the day. I also knew I neglected it a bit and used it for 'bit parts' rather than using it in earnest.

I set myself the task of making a track ONLY using the digitone so I got to know it a bit better and this is the result. Made entirely from scratch - no presets or anything. Played in a single take - no overdubs, no external effects (there is a little compression , EQ etc) Such a powerful machine.

TBH I found using just the digitone a little bit of a limit - there would be some samples or other odd noises in there from something else given half a chance but I like the fact I can make all the crusty distorted kind of sounds I love on it.

Given I even started digging into aftertouch on patches I reckon job done too - going to be much faster to reach for the digitone in future when I need a synth line.

(this is one time I would have loved to have over bridge mind you - bringing out the tracks separately and EQ'ing them individually would have helped even with my terrible mixing skills)"

Published on Jul 28, 2018 RazR

"Made with Novation Circuit using just one patch - bass & lead/arp sound comes from Synth 2 only. Synth 1 is muted all the time.
Dedicated to those who say two synths in Circuit is not enough ;)
Also recorded macro-knob values and explained it's functionalities."

Antonus 2600 Videos by wutierson

Published on Jul 28, 2018 wutierson

"During some test magic happens when the great musician Francisco Nicosia (from Klauss band) was playing the Antonus 2600 , Antonus Step Brother. In one moment Fran was playing Oxygene 1 (Jean Michel Jarre) and decide to record it.
The 2600 created the bass-timpani sound with the Electro Hamonix Small Tone phaser and is controlled by midi using the Dave Smith Poly evolver. At same time 2600 is making high pitch FX with help of the Step Brother.
For the strings Clavia Nord Stage with custom Eminent patch was used.
Only simple delay was used and Antonus 2600 analog spring reverb was used. No more FX or EQs or Compression.
Thanks to La Siesta del Fauno studio in Buenos Aires for the moment."

Playlist:
1. Antonus 2600 with Step Brother - Oxygene 1
2. Antonus 2600 with Step Brother - Equinoxe 4
3. Antonus Step Brother - graphic VCO and harmonic processing

THEREMIN test - les diffYUseurs (Ondes Martenot's loudspeakers emulation)

Published on Jul 27, 2018 Therminal C I C Ehinger

"Les diffYUseurs is a device that emulates the sound & effect emitted by the different diffusers (loudspeakers) made by Maurice Martenot for the Ondes Martenot. It was created and designed by Yves Usson aka Yusynth (http://yusynth.net/index_en.php).

I have been testing a prototype Yves sent me (with my logo & name on it, so classy!!!) with my theremin. Yves did add some additional effects to this pedal - i am only showing a few in the video:
D1 - principal diffuser
D2 - resonance diffuser
D3 - metallic diffuser
D4 - Palme diffuser
Ring modulator
Tremolo & reverb
Bell

Additional effects are : chorus, flanger, pitch shift, pitch echo, transpose, a second palme diffuser, a second metallic diffuser.

A few other people also got a diffYUseurs and after our feedbacks, Yves will make some adjustments and offer a totally "theremin friendly" diffYUseurs. It will be available at the next Theremin Academy in Lausanne in February 2019. (https://theremin.academy/fr/)
