Pocket Electro/Techno Jam 136BPM: Bastl Kastle, Teenage Engineering PO-12, Doomsday Sound Generator

Published on Jan 13, 2019 O.S.cillator @ Kalkartronic

If only this is what they were actually dancing to...

"Mini Electro Jam by O.S.cillator.
The PO-12 drum machine is controlled by the LFO of the Bastl Kastle (I/O output of the Kastle to input of the PO-12, and left channel of the I/O socket on the top of the Kastle patched to LFO socket). The Doomsday Sound Generator is a DIY kit from getlofi.com which I built into a tupperware box a few years ago. Its chaotic sounds can be manipulated by touching the steel buttons (body resistance contacts) on the front.
Hope you like it!

Digitone Meditation 1 - UNDRWATR

Published on Jan 12, 2019 Vague Robots

"I'm on phase two of my experiments with the Digitone, getting deeper into more avant-garde sound design. So, I've decided to upload some "meditations", consisting of just single patterns, iterated over a few minutes. These are also showing off some of the patches that will be included in a sound pack I'll be releasing in the near future.

Digitone only, no external processing or editing, apart from a light master."

Indigo Dusk

"An ambient exploration, mostly self-running, that uses a few tricks to get more interest out of limited sequencing..

Bass swells: AFG alien saws through STG Sea Devils Filter.

HIgh fizzy stereo sweeps: AFG animated pulses through Belgrad in High/Notch mode with Span modulated by a VCLFO. Stereo sweep by WMD Performance Mixer.

Vocoder choir: Fumana, using random speech samples from Radio Music as modulator; carrier is PPG-like wavetables from E352 in Cloud+Morph mode, run through clouds for smearing into quasi-chords. The EF all out from Fumana modulates the speed of an LFO that drives the centre frequency of Fumana, for varying phaser-like sweeps.

Occasional digital synth blips: the other E352 output through Optomix, opened by a Descent envelope. Sequenced by a Moskwa, which could get boring quickly, but Moskwa's clock is driven by a Doepfer A160-5 for varying clock speeds, and the Descent envelopes are triggered by shifting Euclidean rhythms.

Bell/pluck riff: Rings (what else?!) sequenced by Verbos Voltage Multistage through a VCA, with attenuation changing randomly each bar for variety. To make Rings sound marginally less Rings-y, I modulate its frequency with bandpass-filtered noise at varying frequencies, which gives a slightly noisy or warbly edge to the sound. Brightness and Damping modulated every bar for further variation.

Main modulation sources: Doepfer A149-1/2, A143-4, Erica Black Octasource, Triple Sloth.

Mixing and fx: everything into WMD Performance Mixer, with Erebe Verb on Aux 1 and a mix of Demora into Erbe Verb and plain Demora on Aux 2. Erbe Verb's Decay and Demora's feedback are modulated by random gates from A149-2. I use an L-1 Stereo Microcompressor in the final Send/Return, mainly as a limiter to reign in the occasional peak, but I think I'm still getting a bit of clipping, so I need to work on the makeup gain."

Moog Voyager XL: Some Tones (No Talking)

"Spend some time exploring the sounds of the incredible Voyager XL. We start with a scratch patch and then mess around until I get tired of that shit. I left the Reverb on because who doesn't want a sense of space??"

Distco - Modal 008 + Strymon Magneto Modular Tape Delay

Published on Jan 12, 2019 Distortion Productions

"I fell in love with the refined sound and unique interface of the Modal 008 polyphonic analog synth at Perfect Circuit a couple years ago. I finally found a good deal on one. It sounds amazing, but once you get outside the synth's signal path, a little effects processing goes a long way. So one of the effects processors I wanted to introduce the Modal to was the Strymon Magneto virtual tape delay module. The Magneto introduced a whole new dimension to the Modal's sound. In this clip, I experimented a bit with the pair, modulating the Magneto with the Xaoc Batumi and Cwejman D-LFO. The beats are courtesy of the Vermona DRM3-Mk2, sequenced by Elektron Machinedrum. It was filmed on an iPhone X with a Moment 1.33x anamorphic lens."

"Happy 2019 all. Here is a quick little hiphop jam on the OP-Z using custom (OP-1) samples on the drum and synth tracks. Jam recorded with the Behringer XR-12. I hope you like it. Cheers!
