Agents Of Time SQUID Studio Sessions: Live Improvisation

Published on Sep 11, 2019 Pioneer DJ

Thought this was kind of interesting from the concept of a band perspective. One guy on drums+mix, one on bass, and one on melodies.

"Find out more about “SQUID” and its tutorial, check here: http://bit.ly/2HukXjf

Agents Of Time take us through their process for production in the studio and how that translates to live performances, focusing on their recent 12-hour set at Extrema Outdoor, Belgium. The guys demonstrate how they used the SQUID to perform one of their tracks and then remix it on the fly.

SDS Digital Sequarallel Module Test Composition & Patch!

Published on Sep 10, 2019 freshnelly

"Well today I made an effort to create a decent patch to use with the Sequarallel. I wanted to include the Melisma, and I did, but it's a "dumb" connection and follows gates and bass notes to send chords to a Korg synth.
The RIT_M's are doing nothing more than acting as clock multipliers really in this.

There's a couple of SDS_VCO's and percussion modules etc but got the PWM modulation for the VCO's by recording an LFO into the Reflex LiveLoop and then playing it back at rates controlled by the same LFO but much slower. Ahhh what can be done hey?

So yeh, this is a collage of sound based around a simple trance-like composition I did in FL Studio this morning and recorded in this afternoon. It uses 3 MIDI channels and 1 Percussion channel.
Now it's trapped within the Sequarallel forever mwa ha ha ha!

It's really amazing to have this in the demo rack. I'm going to put one of the production units in my big case but the demo rack has become a legacy collection of sorts and I do so enjoy it. (Plus there's no holes like in the big one bluk!)"

"Convex is a multi-effects processor designed to facilitate the creation of contorted artifacts, syncopated patterns and skewed digital textures.

Based around three classic effects; multimode filter, pitch shifter and delay, Convex generates dynamic variations of the input signal by crossfading between two instances of each effect and modulating their key parameters using an extensive array of control modules.

From mellow dub delays to mind-blowing glitch sequences, Convex brings a broad range of exciting effects to your sound design arsenal.

Convex features two Pitch Shifters, two Digital Delays and two Multimode Filters. You can crossfade between each instance of the processors, making it possible to create complex morphing effects. Driving its core are 4 LFOs with optional tempo sync and 2 envelope followers which can have their output inverted or combined using mixers and multipliers.

Several key parameters can be modulated using the LFOs, envelope followers, mod mixers, mod multipliers and mod inverters. These parameters feature dedicated mod source menus and depth knobs. Aside from processing audio signals within your DAW, real-time processing of external signals is especially interesting in combination with the envelope followers.

Dr. John Chowning -Keynote Address | Knobcon 2019

Published on Sep 10, 2019 Under the Big Tree

"I first met Dr. John Chowning, the discoverer of frequency modulation as a powerful algorithm for synthesis, at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford in the early 90's. He was a brilliant, kind gentleman then, and nothing has changed in the subsequent decades. I thought it important to document his address, and subsequent lecture on the history of FM synthesis, for the future. Apologies for the sound quality - there was an enormous air conditioner running full blast behind him. But the substance is what counts, and hearing the words of this giant of the synthesizer realm."

Dr. John Chowning - The History of FM Synthesis | Knobcon 2019

Published on Sep 11, 2019 Under the Big Tree

"Dr. John Chowning is a legendary scientist, musician, and composer best known for the discovery of frequency modulation (FM) synthesis for musical applications. He did not invent the Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, but he discovered the principles underlying the technology, and worked tirelessly to get it into the hands of a company that would develop it into a product. That product, the DX7, became one of the best selling synthesizers of all time.

Dr. Chowning's lecture at Knobcon 2019 delves into the history of the discovery of FM, as well as detailed information on how it works, ending with the creation of the DX7. This discussion is dense and scholarly, but has charts and animations to help explain the principles of the topic. It is a long lecture, but will bear fruit to the student of electronic music that is willing to delve in.

My apologies for the quality of the camera work - it was hand held for two hours. But I hope that the quality of the content transcends the quality of the recording."

"For those synth enthusiasts that would have liked to attend Knobcon 2019 but couldn't, here's a quick walkthrough of the exhibit hall.

Under the Big Tree is Nick Peck's YouTube channel, focused on music and sound design equipment and techniques, composition, production and performance of music, modular synthesizers and electronic music in general, and tabletop board games.
