Podcast 307: Eric Schlappi

Published on Dec 22, 2019 20Objects

"There are a few modules that have been quietly creeping into discussions - and modular rigs - over the last few months. One manufacturer that keeps coming up is Schlappi Engineering - and especially the Angle Grinder module. I'm not sure how you make a quadrature oscillator sexy - but Eric Schlappi seems to have done it!

In this chat, we go over Eric's background, how he came up with some of his modules, some of the technologies that he's exploring for the future, and his own music-making (and performing) process. His modules are opinionated (in that they have design decisions that can drive you in certain directions), but in a way that can still allow you to maintain your own voice. He also talks about his own obsession with analog monosynths, and how this has influenced his own electronics development.

In addition to his modules, you can check out some of his recorded work on his Bandcamp site (https://ericschlappi.bandcamp.com/). Also, for Tier 2 (and above) Patreon supporters (https://www.patreon.com/darwingrosse), we have an extended interview about the performative aspects of the 100 Grit that is particularly interesting.

Enjoy!"

Roland System-8 - Lost patches

Published on Dec 22, 2019 Hunart©

"Hi everyone!

I`ve found a video presenting around 20 custom patches (and some performances using them) made by me something like 2 years ago. Feels like the System-8 is still a good player in the synth game.
No EQ, compression or external FX.


Enjoy!

BOSS CE-1 RESTORATION DEMO

Published on Dec 21, 2019 Sunshine Jones

"This morning I restored my Boss CE-1 Chorus pedal. I socketed and replaced all of the IC's - The MN3002 BBD delay chip, and the three op amps - and replaced all of the 220uf electrolytic capacitors on the board and gave it a try.

Wow was I delighted. It sounds so much deeper, wider, warmer, and more dramatic than before. It was scratchy, and rough before without much of the elegance I was hoping to add to my single output analog synthesizers (Jupiter-6, Mono/Poly, etc.).

I'm thrilled at such a dramatic improvement with just a few components.

This is posted for the benefit of my friends on instagram who don't get to hear these lush, swirling effects in stereo there.

Enjoy!"

ASM Hydrasynth // Sine Waves into MS-20 Filter & LPG Models (in two parts)

Published on Dec 21, 2019 Genshi Media Group

"::| WARNING!!! EXTREME FREQUENCIES AHEAD! USE CAUTION |::

This is just a personal test for myself; playing with pure Sine waves into a couple of different filter models to see what kind of tones I can get out of them. In Part One I'm using the Cutoff, Resonance, and Drive of the MS-20 Filter model to get various tones from the Sine waves, and in Part Two I am using the Low Pass Gate model along with Osc Sync and PWM Squeeze to get Bell-like tones. And of course, in Part One, I just couldn't resist adding the Blade Runner lead part-way through the demonstration... I just love that patch!"

Poly800 with Hawk800 and the rest....

Published on Dec 21, 2019 No Nag Recordings

"This Video was a test mostly for a new Video software is was testing out. I'm strugling to learn it but im getting there. This just took too long and as you'll se in the end it just craps out and I couldn't fix that.. ??? (Sorry)
The Hawk800 is truely a must for the Poly800 in my mind. it makes this synth go from lame to cool, with the AtomaHawk and FM800 mods. This is just some presets for testing. I have a better video coming with a Behringer BCR2000 and some realtime tweaking because this deserves that."
