How to use a Raspberry PI as a sample-based synthesizer / ROMpler


Published on Feb 7, 2020 Floyd Steinberg

"How to use a Raspberry PI as a Sample Synthesizer / ROMpler, using Audacity, SWAMI and QSYNTH. Also: How to use an external USB audio interface with your Raspberry PI. Table of contents below!

In this video, I'm solving the problems with my audio interfaces I encountered in my last video, install some audio software and build a sample-synthesizer (think Korg M1, or any workstation synth) from scratch, creating a string orchestra sound on the way. There's a handful of audio examples of the piano&strings variety in this video.

Table of contents:

00:00 audio example 1: Rhodes electric piano
00:43 introduction
01:18 hardware needed
01:52 installing the USB audio interface correctly
02:33 JACK/qjackctl setup
03:24 installing apps (Audacity, SWAMI, QSYNTH)
04:48 getting some free sound fonts from the web
05:27 loading sound fonts into qsynth and setting up the MIDI channel assignments
05:59 audio example 2 (from the Yamaha SY85 patch collection, see links below)
08:58 capturing your own samples
09:50 creating your own sound font with SWAMI
12:11 loading the sound font into qsynth
12:24 audio example 3: piano and strings
13:23 conclusion

The Future of Synthesis - Physical Modeling and Expressive Musical Instruments | NAMM 2020


Published on Feb 7, 2020 Under the Big Tree

"This panel on physical modeling at NAMM was a fascinating talk, with luminaries from the industry: Jordan Rudess, Roger Linn, and Dr. Julius Schwartz from CCRMA, among others.

Each of the five panelists delivers a presentation on their approach to physical modeling, expressive musical instruments, or the intersection of the two. Hilarious hijinks ensue.

Cerrone on how disco classic ‘Supernature’ was made


Published on Feb 7, 2020 FACTmagazine

"Cerrone’s ‘Supernature’, released in 1977, is one of disco’s all-time great tracks, reaching number one in the US dance charts in 1978. Its iconic synth lead, created with the classic ARP Odyssey synth, remains one of the genre’s most memorable melodies.

Ahead of the release of his 31st studio album, DNA, FACT met Cerrone at his studio to find out how he made ‘Supernature’ and just how much music production techniques have changed over the past 40 years by talking us through his new track, 'The Impact'.

DNA is out now on Because Music.

Critter & Guitari - Deterior for Organelle


Published on Feb 7, 2020 Critter & Guitari

"Download this patch here: https://www.critterandguitari.com/org...

Deterior records a sample, loops it, and applies effects that ‘destroy’ it. As the loop degrades, you can also add new sounds to the loop from the audio input. The available effects are: Noise, Clip, Silence, Pitch Shift, and Filter. You can solo each effect or turn on multiple. The effects are applied randomly, but within parameters you control. If you like the current of the loop, store it! Stored loops are accessible from the keyboard."

Yamaha Sessions | Blush Response x Merlin Ettore


Published on Jan 10, 2019 Yamaha Synths Official

"Merlin Ettore and Blush Response’s collaboration sprung out of a desire to find new methods of expression in live electronics. This Yamaha session is a 100% improvised performance that bridges the gap between heavy club music, sound design, experimental noise, and mind bending poly-metric drumming.

Blush is running custom granular FM patches on the Yamaha MODX7. Other sounds are provided by a 4 voice eurorack modular. Merlin is using the Yamaha EAD10 Drum Module as a source to parallel process the direct sound of his Recording Custom."

FEATURING:
I recently scored a (pretty beat up) Quasimidi Raven synthesizer/groovebox on eBay!
For fun, I've sampled over 100 sounds from it into the Elektron Digitakt.
In this video, I show 14 grooves that I wrote in the Digitakt, using *ONLY* the sounds that I directly sampled from the Quasimidi Raven.

Whatever kind of music you are making - KEEP IT UP, Friends!
Don't stop making *YOUR MUSIC*!!"
