Novation SL MKIII - First Forays - The first track ever created on the SL MKIII?

Published on Oct 25, 2018 -CALC-

"Here is an early video made pre-announcement of the SL MKIII being used in the -CALC- Studio back in Sept '18.

I think this is the first ever full track created on the device. It was made whilst the final firmware was still being cooked up by the geniuses at Novation Towers.

The track was made using a early, non-finished firmware and is using just one session of the 64 available. In fact this firmware was before we got automation and even sequencer part mutes.... I ended up using empty patterns as part mutes!!!

Longer sequencers than the 128 steps available on each part (NB - not just 16 steps internet land!) are achieved by dividing the clock speeds. eg The different Arp 2600 bass lines are across 2 patterns each with a quarter speed clock.

This is based on a hybrid set-up using a little bit of Ableton (Just 3 looped clips) and that wonderful and free Spitfire Audio Labs Soft Piano driven from the SL MKIII's powerful arpeggiator.

The SL is directly sequencing the ARP2600 from the CV gate outputs. MIDI is also sent to the Preen FM, Peak, Leploop and the Roland SP404 processed through the fantastic Oto Boum (was still learning how to use that little box at the time too!)

One thing the SL MK III does really well is open up great opportunities to use plug-ins from software but still keeping the focus, control and composition process directly on the SL Hardware. It really is a hub of the studio and joins all of these worlds perfectly together whilst still giving you an "instrument" to play.

Also having keys in front of you and your sequencer feels genuinely incredible!!!

Hope y'all like it

Familiar yet somehow different, the sound of the Nyckelharpa walks a delicate line. Ancient and totally modern. The nyckelharpa has its roots back in the middle ages. Literally translated the name means keyed-fiddle in Swedish. The pitch of the notes is altered by pressing a wooden key, which frets the string.

Featuring viola + cello tuned nyckelharpas, Soniccoutures' modelling dismantles the sound of this fascinating instrument, and rebuilds it with detailed user control over every element.

The Hunting of the Gathering (Akai Tom Cat & Timbre Wolf, Kawai K1m thru Moog MF Delay)

Published on Oct 25, 2018 HardtekStudios

"Download the audio track for FREE here-https://soundcloud.com/hardtek-studio...

They have gathered, only to be hunted. This jam features TWO different recorded parts! The first features the Akai Tom Cat & Timbre Wolf providing some doom-y beats & basslines while the second has the Kawai K1m thru the Moog Minifooger Delay. Both tracks were recorded & edited in Logic with some compression, EQ and two different reverb sends. I normally edit my video in an older version of iMovie, but for the video effects I needed I had to use the newest version. Unfortunately, this version of iMovie has a glitch were the video & audio fall out of sync with each other. Maybe Apple will fix this one day. Until then, have a Happy Halloween!"

Cyndustries Modcan A Benares Programmer - Serge Tcherepnin

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

"The original idea of this programmer was published in Synapse magazine a few decades ago by Serge Tchrepnin himself, under the alias of Mr. Arpad Benares.

This is a realization of the programmer in Modcan A format. It is very similar to the Serge programmer and a very unique module of many different applications from four part harmony to complete madness."
