"First audio test for the Onde and the Music Easel.
Using the Easel to generate a wide range of timbres and frequencies and comparing the sound of the Onde with that of the Easel recorded direct to camera.
The Onde is recorded using an AT 2050. No EQ is applied other than a 20Hz shelf. The Easel is also recorded flat with no external fx.
Note this is a first test. More experimentation with mic placement may give a different feel although the recording sounds like a fair representation of what I can hear live. More important is the need for me to experiment with other mounting systems. The supplied tripods are quite vulnerable to sympathetic resonance as is the flimsy table top it is standing on.
"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.
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.
"Permutations Patch Bank for Korg Minilogue XD. This pack contains 71 completely new programmed presets plus more than 60 melody pattern and motion sequences.
