Modular Concepts: Musical Maths [BITWIG STUDIO 3]

Published on Sep 11, 2019 bitwig

"While math is everywhere in sound synthesis, it doesn't always ask for attention. This tutorial looks at three examples: making a patch velocity-sensitive, seeing how low-pass filters relate to amplitude, and using comparators to make a looping envelope. By lifting the veil on a few simple ideas, take The Grid (and any modular environment) to a new level.

NOTE: Project file with snapshots and bonus content available here - https://www.bitwig.com/en/community/l...

0:08 - Math: it's all around us
1:10 - Logical functions too
2:05 - Task 1: Velocity as an amplitude control
3:24 - Level Scaler for range
4:03 - Using decibels is nicer
4:32 - Task 2: What is a low-pass filter?
5:45 - LPF makes things slow…
6:22 - …now we can slow other signals
7:20 - Lag is a filter set in time
7:55 - Task 3: building a looping envelope
8:43 - Talk thru how this should work
9:13 - When the envelope reaches zero…
9:48 - …AND the note is still held, retriever
10:39 - Details, like routing feedback…
11:10 - …merge the triggers with OR…
11:57 - …and short logic signals help OR work
12:50 - It loops! Go crazy!"

Knobcon: An In-Depth Look At The Hydrasynth Synthesizer

Published on Sep 11, 2019 Synthtopia

"At Knobcon 2019, Ashun Sound Machines (ASM) introduced the Hydrasynth – a new hardware synth that they say offers a massively deep and flexible sound engine and unique performance controls, including polyphonic aftertouch and a four-octave ribbon controller.

We talked with ASM's Glen Darcey, who gave us an in-depth look at the new synth."

Knobcon 2019: Hydrasynth With Glen Darcey

Published on Sep 11, 2019 sonicstate

"Seemingly coming from nowhere to release one of the most interesting new digital poly synths on the market Ashun Sound Machines (ASM) have made a splash with the Hydrasynth... Heading up Product and Vision for the company is Glen Darcey.

Glen previously worked at Arturia and Akai however this new role at ASM has given him more creative control and presented some new challanges.

Our resident US reporter Jim (Earmonkey Music) was on hand at Knobcon this year to talk to Glen about some of the creative decisions made on the Hydrasynth."

Published on Sep 11, 2019 sonicstate

"Our resident reporter Jim (Earmonkey Music) was able to grab some time with the Hydrasynth to really get down to the knitty gritty and check out some of the sounds it can make. As a keyboard player himself he really put that poly aftertouch keybed to the test."

Knobcon 2019: Roland Fantom Demo

Published on Sep 11, 2019 sonicstate

"With three new versions of the popular Fantom keyboard Roland were on hand to show off some of the new features. A new program structure means that all setups are now stored in scenes, there's no other unit of memory storage - each scene stores the whole lot.

The three different versions of the Fantom give a range of different keybeds and keyboard sizes. Ed Diaz was at Knobcon this year to show off the Fantom."

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.
