(Matrixbrute CV'd to DFAM): "The Infinity Paradox"

Published on Feb 16, 2019 Kris Lennox

"Matrixbrute acting as controller for the DFAM.... but not only controller. I've taken the master line out from the MB and ran it into the Audio In on the DFAM, which gives a grand total of 7 (!) VCO's to play with (two on the DFAM, three on the MB, plus the two sub-oscs on the MB). What a sound. MB is controlling the pitch on the DFAM, and also gate-triggering each step, with the pitch determined by the chord I'm playing/where the chord degree lies on the arpeggio matrix. There is also some DFAM-DFAM patching.

At the start what you're hearing is just the MB. Great to hear it ran through the Moog filter. Sounds wonderful.

I was originally going to use a Y-splitter out from the DFAM, run one end to the desk, and run the other back into the MB via the external input. The result would have been the equivalent of two mirrors facing each other i.e an infinite loop. It would likely have triggered the apocalypse (or granted levitation ability, but I haven't read the manual in enough detail to be sure), so I kept it 7 VCO's only, rather than 7 multiplied by infinity.

One has to be careful.

PS the chord/harmonic progression is cyclic/infinite, hence the title. The title is also a reference to the apocalypse idea mentioned above.

All best
Kris"

Minimoog Model D Reissue sequenced with 303-style slides and accents using Silent Way.

Published on Feb 16, 2019 Surface Noises

"I wanted to see if I could use Silent Way to make a Minimoog Reissue sound like a Roland 303 - and then got a bit carried away made it sound very different indeed to the one oscillator Roland classic. I sent gate and pitch CV out of a Motu DC-coupled audio interface using Silent Way then used Reaktor Blocks to send out an accent envelope and drums were on Ableton. Audio from Minimoog is dry with no FX"

ART OF SAMPLING : JJ JECZALIK LIBRARY on a Fairlight CMI

Published on Feb 16, 2019 100 Things I Do

"I started filming this one using the Ensoniq Mirage but I knew if I released this clip in that form all I would get is questions as to why I did not use the Fairlight!

So here it is, playing with some of the sounds from JJ Jeczalik's art of sampling! I used to listen to the Art of Noise records back in the 80's with wonder of how magical and unaffordable the Fairlight CMI was... I never expected to own one!

You can still get the sample set on line and licensed for use if you search around enough."
