Matrixbrute: IT FOLLOWS ("Playpen")

Published on Aug 2, 2018 Kris Lennox

"Try with cans on for the bass etc. Brilliant soundtrack. The included is an arrangement of the track 'Playpen'. It is a little-known track from the soundtrack - but is fantastic. You can find it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doi8BvqRvSI

The dial you can see me turning near the top RH corner - this is the fine-tune. The pitch of the work drifts through a semitone whilst the patterns change. Therefore, this work is in fact microtonal. Or rather, it is microtonally drifting. It gives a very odd and unique effect. Great stuff.

On the original the pitch dive is VST automated - but personally I prefer hands-on. Plus - as you'll see from the video - I'm diving the pitch to reach the lowest point on a specific bar, then raising it again to a specific bar. However, this means the transitioning pitches are never at the same rate across parts i.e. I can't exactly dive with perfect synchronicity on each part. Personally, I think this gives the music even more oddness, and brings the sense of the pitch dive to life more than a standard 'all dive the same' - which is the result of VST automation. Of course, different rates can be programmed on a computer - and this is easier to fix than having to redo an entire take - but as a player I enjoy sitting at an instrument far more than sitting at a screen. There's a time and place for both - but give me the choice and I'd choose being at an instrument.

Patchení s Nikol - Ducking with VCAs

Published on Aug 1, 2018 Bastl Instruments

"Ducking or side-chaining, is a well known dynamic effect that music producers use to highlight certain sounds in their mix and suppress others with a compressor. If its taken to an extreme degree, it can add a pumping feeling to your song. Nikol explains how ducking can be done with envelopes, Quattro Figaros VCAs and Inverters."

"The latest v.1.20 Update for SYSTEM-8 sees 12 new FM Oscillator variations and 4 new unique Filters to give the powerful synthesizer another dimension of expressive performance.

All sounds are designed by Tatsuya Nishiwaki – a long-time preset sound designer for Roland synthesizers such as V-Synth and JUPITER-80. So, if you feel these sounds have a nostalgic air about them, your sense is correct."
