MATRIXSYNTH

"Hi Guys.
This time I have an extensive demo showing the filter Gemini 2412 (no talking) from AJHSynth !
in the first part, up to 1:50, you have two Minimod oscillators (Vintage Transistor Core VCO) - they are first with a lower input level, later with a high level that adds some grain in the Discrete Cascade VCA and, of course, a typical LP, BP, HP filter, plus of course adding resonance. I think wonderfully shows how this filter behaves on the oscillator.
from 1:50 to 4:15 is used Dual mode for sequences with the addition of Reverb Black Hole DSP from Erica Synths.
in dual I wanted to show a lot of filter settings, that's why it takes quite a long time, and as it alternately filters itself with the use of LFO, there is a separate output for Dual D-Out. last part is a sequence with filtering also dual but without reverb.
The Gemini 2412 filter is based on the iconic SEM so this character really can bite sounds.
More specifically, the Gemini 2412 is Two completely independent Vintage SEM filters, with a central mixing bus for frequency and frequency control voltages that allow the connection of two VCFs in serial and parallel modes, and VCF1 can be inverted against VCF2. So two VCFs can be combined to act like a SEM 24dB filter, vocal formation filter and much more!
Each of the two filters is based on a SEM vintage filter, with FET transistors, and has a Low Pass, Band Pass and High Pass outputs, and a useful Vary output that can be faded from LP to Notch on HP. All outputs can be used simultaneously.
Added some exciting additional features not available in the original SEM filter, including CV resonance contolance, VCF core override and full self-oscillation!
Each VCF1 and VCF2 has a four-way switch for selecting LP, BP, HP or VARY for the mixing bus, it is also available as an additional individual output."

Oberheim OBXa new presets

Published on Mar 24, 2019 synthlegends

"Oberheim OBXa new chill out presets. I used in both channels BOSS CH-1 super chorus and CE-2w and routed the signal into the Strymon BIG SKY, mostly I used shimmer and magnetic, cloud and Choral reverb effects. In some patches I used only the chorus effects."

GOODBYE VOLCA MODULAR // Preview of Patches 4, 5, 6,

Published on Mar 24, 2019 LESINDES

"Time to say GOODBYE to KORG VOLCA MODULAR.
Soundtrack of footage for unreleased PACTHES 4, 5, 6.
An inspiring machine with its drawbacks (PATCH DESCRIPTION in the bottom):
Visit me also on Facebook: Les Indes!
The MODULAR is a synthesizer with a potential but also with a lot of NOs, unfortunately. I really like the idea of it but it has:
1. unlike all the other Volcas NO Midi input
2. NO seperate gate input -- combined CV/Gate in so special stereo mini jack to 2 mono mini jacks cable needed
3. LPG is very low, only half as loud as LPG1, or my Volca is broken?!
4. Gate or CV output of keyboard and sequencer only in these fiddle sockets.
5. Cables with the soft easily bendable ends feel and are very fiddly. The raw cable ends slide easily out of the sockets even though you only gently touch the cables!
6. The black pot underbeath in front of both Cutoff pots should be the control voltage patched in sockets A + B but even if it is turned fully conterclockwise (= minimum) there is still CV being let out. I don't know if there is a work around for that or if my MODULAR is part of faulty batch??!
From min. 5 - 8 it is clock input is patched as source
by mistake but there is still a lot of entertaining tweaking
;-)

Patch is basically this:
Clock Div in WOGGLE 1 + 2
WOGGLE 1 in C
WOGGLE 2 in Space
Function 2 cycled in B
OSC in A
a+bxc/a-bxc in MOD/FOLD/RATIO"

J.S.Bach - Little Fugue in G minor - Played on a Realistic MG-1 by Moog Music

Published on Mar 24, 2019 MrCaliforniaD

"The MG-1 was built by Moog for Realistic (Radio Shack), and was designed specifically for the home market. Very basic and easy to use, this is a nice cheap way to get your hands on Moog sounds!

The MG-1 is a 2-VCO monophonic/polyphonic analog synth with a genuine 24dB/oct Moog filter, however the overall sound is thin. On the MG-1, the VCOs are referred to as 'Tone Generators'. It can produce sawtooth, square and pulse waveforms, and the oscillators are detunable and syncable. A simple ASR (attack, sustain, release) envelope called 'Contour' can be applied to both the amp and the filter. The LFO section provides triangle or square wave patterns as well as Sample-and-Hold. Additionally there is a simple Ring-Mod effect called 'Bell'.

Feel free to ask any questions."

SPIEL | performance for prepared mouth

Performed by Nien Tzu Weng

Spiel is an in-situ performance for prepared mouth.

While absorbed in conversation you notice a stranger approaching. With a curious instrument affixed to their face the visitor leans in, and listens. The mouth opens, patterns of rhythm and sound emanate from within: voices recognizable as your own.

Spun out of focus, words reveal their ingrained subtleties as the collector of conversation captures the sentence but not the sentiment. Vocal exchanges are recalled and reflected. Voices are transformed by physical formant inflections, while acoustic hallucinations seem to reference what might have been said.

An étude on hearing lips and seeing voices, the performer’s mechanically augmented vocal tract reshapes and filters conversational spectra into new modes of mis-communication. Spiel physically unravels the tenuous synesthetic relationship between what is seen, heard and understood.
