#Jamuary2020 07, Arturia MicroFreak, Zoom MS-70CDR, A Quiet Walk in the Park

Published on Jan 25, 2020 Waveformer

"A simple ambient jam on the Arturia MicroFreak and Zoom MS-70CDR.

My music on Bandcamp: http://waveformer42.bandcamp.com/

The patches for the MicroFreak and the MS-70 are included below.

All is improvised using the arpeggiator and a custom patch on the MicroFreak, and delays and reverb on the MS-70. One of the delays shifts the note a fifth up on each delay, so the arpeggiated chords will typically get an added seventh (from the thrid) and ninth (from the fifth), and sometimes even a eleventh (if I play the seventh). During the jam, I play around with filter and envelopes, as usual, trying to find sweet spots along the way.

The Zoom MS-70CDR patch is included below. To load a patch into the MS-70, connect your MS-70 to your computer using a USB cable, go to https://g200kg.github.io/zoom-ms-util..., right-click an available patch slot, select "Import Patch from text", and paste in this text.

#jamuary2020 Day 25 - Elektron Digitone

Published on Jan 25, 2020 Oscillator Sink

"Preparation is everything, and in this case of today's jam that couldn't be any truer. This is a generative pattern on the Digitone that I spent a few hours putting together just to hit play and let it do its thing.

This is the soundtrack to a dark place; music to be unsettled to...'

"At the 2020 NAMM Show, we talked with product specialist Nick Kwas about the new Korg ARP 2600 FS.

The Korg ARP 2600 FS is a very close recreation of the original, with full-size synth & keyboard, lids and road case.

It sounds massive, too, and everything is immediately available on the front panel for you to grab and tweak."

Don consulted and helped introduce ARP to NAMM in 1972. At Roland, he consulted and programmed JP-4, TR-808, VP series Vocoders, D-50 and many others. As a consultant and artist for Yamaha, Don was an original programmer for the DX-7 and . In 1977, Don built LEO (Live Electronic Orchestra) integrating ARP, Oberheim, Hammond, Yamaha and Roland products. He is considered by Kakehashi to be his inspiration for MIDI."

The Galaxy Electric - Buchla Cosmic Drone - Session 9 - Modular Drone Music

Published on Jan 24, 2020 The Galaxy Electric

"Thanks for listening! Come on a musical voyage with us where we'll send you a new song every day, a cosmic story, and a chance to earn space treasure:

https://thegalaxyelectric.lpages.co/5...

Relax and tune into our live weekly improvised Drone Sessions. This 9th session involves a drone featuring two independent Buchla style complex and modulation oscillators starting in tune a couple octaves apart. As the oscillator frequencies drift apart by way of manual control, beating ensues. Listening to droning oscillators can serve as mindfulness sounds as there is no sudden changes in sound. Just smooth drifts in pitch and the resulting beat frequencies. Drones can also serve as an ambient track to have on while doing tasks that require intense focus. Drones are also great for a Sci-fi film soundtrack. The slow yet progressive nature of a drone performance can help one focus on tasks without distraction. The fact that we are manipulating these oscillators live and in collaboration helps the drone meander ever so smoothly in an evolving fashion as we are always reacting to one another's subtle movements. These movements are improvised so there is an unrehearsed and reactive ebb and flow to the tones generated.

The electronic music instruments used in this performance of modular drone music are the Buchla Music Easel, and a small system involving a Buchla clone model 259 Programmable Complex Waveform Generator, Buchla 292h Dual Lowpass Gate, and 281h Dual Function Generator in the Buchla LEM Powered 3 Boat.

The sound character (based of the discrete circuits and the SEM design VCF) is different to the later curtis chip based OB-Xa and OB-8.

Used by: Rush (Subdivisions, Tom Sawyer), Nena (99 Luftballons, Nur Geträumt), J.-M. Jarre (Magnetic Fields), Killing Joke (Love Like Blood), Roxy Music (Avalon), Queen (Flash Gordon), Styx (Too much time on my hands), Japan, Supertramp, Suzanne Ciani, Tangerine Dream (Exit) and more
