Autechre 2008 Monomachine patterns/patches

Published on Nov 12, 2018 0F.digital

"Autechre quietly uploaded the sysex files from their Monomachine and Machinedrum, as used in the 2008 Quaristice tour. This is the Monomachine part, just going through all of the patterns and meandering here and there to mute/unmute parts. Interesting stuff!

You can find a link to the sysex files here:

Voice In. Future Out. Introducing UAD Softube Vocoder Plug-in

Published on Nov 7, 2018 Universal Audio

"Developed by Softube, exclusively for UAD hardware and UA Audio Interfaces, the Softube Vocoder plug-in takes its sonic cues from the best analog vocoders of the past, while adding new features to take the iconic effect into the future. Learn more: https://u.audio/2D5e7zi

Over the past four decades, vocoders have been used to stunning effect, transforming human voices into various forms of robot speak on hits by Kraftwerk, Daft Punk, Afrika Bambaataa, and countless modern hit-making producers.

Now you can track in real time through the iconic, hit-making robotic vocal effect and craft everything from gritty, old-school vocoding, to more modern, polished sounds.

Powered by an onboard, analog-inspired synthesis engine, the Softube Vocoder plug-in bests other emulations of the classic vocoder effect with its warm, gritty, three-dimensional sound. And with a purpose-built feature set, including 12-voice polyphony, four waveform types, pitch modulation, pulse-width modulation, and more, you can easily fine tune or totally reshape your sources with a bonafide analog synth.

The Softube Vocoder plug-in gives you unprecedented control of the spectral response of your vocoded performance. Each band of the Vocoder analyzer can be independently adjusted, or grab the Spectral Tilt control to rapidly shift from high to low frequencies. The Parallel Blend control mixes the dry/wet signals allowing you to fine tune, or automate the amount of synthetic texture added to your source.

A feature only found on the Softube Vocoder, the Freeze control lets you capture a snippet of a vocal, for example, and create chopped, DAW-synced rhythms within a track. And with real time control via MIDI, Freeze unlocks new creative possibilities for musicians and producers looking to create genre-bending sounds."

Note this is for sale from peahix of opitgan.com. It's the one featured in this video. You can find audio demos of this exact unit here and here.

"This Axxe was serviced by a qualified tech about a year ago, and at that time it was 100% functional and working well. The keyboard bushings were also replaced. I have not had a chance to use it much since then, so it's likely that it will at least need to be calibrated. Also, since this is an old piece of electronics, the usual caveats apply with respect to its long-term functionality. It will almost certainly need to be maintained by a qualified tech in order to continue working well. Cosmetically it's slightly rough- study pics carefully. The bumper sticker on the back adds an odd bit of charm, so I left it intact, though it should be easy enough for you to remove if you wish..."
