Vermona '14/Gregorian Chant (Hildegard von Bingen: "Caritas Habundat")

Published on Dec 31, 2019 Kris Lennox

"Hello all - and a happy new year/decade when it arrives. Appropriately, a little von Bingen to finish off the decade. If this work sounds familiar: the initial melody/phrase was used as the horn solo melody (first phrase) on the track 'Life' from the movie 'Prometheus'. The phrase ending is slightly altered in Prometheus, but the seed can clearly be heard. The second horn phrase is, however, authentic to von Bingen.

These melodies (Gregorian chants in general) have been part of my musical heritage since early childhood, and have been part of the family for many generations. Hence my plan to record and release an 'official' set in the near future.

In any instance, the coming decade will certainly be an interesting one.

"Just an overview of a little restoration work to my DX5 that I did today (31/12/19), replacing the original MDF end cheeks with some solid wood pieces. I thought it would be nice to show you the inside of one of these things too, so I hope you enjoy!

Happy New Year to all my subscribers, followers and viewers around the world!"

"open e-drums" is a completely open source electronic drum. Pads that can be produced with 3D printers, and midi converters are all open source hardware. Arduino code for sensing is also available. You can create your own e-drum from scratch, or add pads to the Roland and YAMAHA kits.

ABOUT
This project started by accident. At the time, I was a product design student who had used Arduino just a little. When I found a drum mania controller at a used store at a bargain price, I was somehow attracted to it and bought it. This is the beginning of everything. I took it apart and played with Arduino. I used a piezo for the first time at that time. I learned the delicate sensing ability of piezo. I realized the greatness of electronic drums such as Roland, Yamaha, and Alesis, which process the signals beautifully. I want to try it myself.

I didn't have any knowledge of programming or electronics. In other words, I have acquired a lot of knowledge through this project. For some people, this project is just a reinvention of the wheel. But it's a very meaningful project for me. As I proceeded with this project, I drew on the knowledge of many predecessors. Many of them keep information open. That's great. So I decided to publish this project as an open source hardware project. I would be happy if this project helps someone create something."

Metasonix 4u Drums with the Serge Modular Gate Sequencer

Published on Dec 31, 2019 FOR channel

"The Scrotum Lab Serge Gate Sequencer mclass (STS style) panel is a funk machine. Here it´s sequencing a Metasonix 4u RK4 Filter set as a Kick Drum, and the Snare made of RK1 noise going to RK6 Low Pass Filter and RK5
Low Pass Gate. RK3 Mangler and RK2 VCA are processing the RK4 Kick.

Two droning RK7 Oscillators are mixed on the Serge XFADER , with a bit of BlueSky reverb on top. The SCROLAB Gate Sequencer has some cool ways to manually affect the sequences. Here in this video , i´m just focusing on altering it´s own clock ( A Stroh Pico VCO) by patching one of the GAte Sequencer Full outputs to the 1v/OCT on the Pico. I have to mention again that i´m not amplifying any Serge control signal in order to work with the Metasonix modules. Thanks for watching the videos. Have a Great 2020 !"
