Quick Synth Improv From Scratch - Nord Lead & Zoom 1201

Published on Mar 4, 2020 ChrisLody

"So being the total masochist that I am I've taken on another daily music challenge for March over on Instagram linked to the Electronic Curiosity Collective that come with a set of suggestions you can try for each day. Today's suggestion was to improvise something completely from scratch. So I took it upon myself to create a sound and record something as quickly as possible. I've truncated the sound creation down as much as possible as it get a bit dull, but it took me about 10 minutes to go from a standing start, create a sound whilst coming up with ideas and put this together. Not bad :)

So obviously this is played on the Clavia Nord Lead with the Zoom 1201 providing reverb shown in the frame on a couple of blocks of wood, proper low tech solution. I've been experimenting for a long time trying to move away from playing diatonic notes and chords (notes within a fixed scale) as I increasingly find it boring to listen to and play, so this jam is me exploring just that. Ends up sounding a bit unpredictable this, a kind of untrustworthy vibe maybe."

Moog Semi-Modular Synthesizers: Interconnectivity II

Published on Mar 4, 2020 Moog Music Inc

"Four instruments from Moog's semi-modular family of analog synthesizers (Matriarch, Grandmother, Mother-32, and DFAM) connect together in a new exploratory composition.

In this patch, Grandmother serves as a master clock, distributing sync signals to the Matriarch, Mother-32, and DFAM. The patch begins with the Grandmother playing a simple bassline, processed through a DIY J.H. Haible phaser, and one of the Matriarch’s analog delays. The DFAM provides a kick drum pattern to anchor the elements of the song together, while the Mother-32 plays a deep ostinato bass melody. The Matriarch generates the upper register arpeggio in round robin mode, allowing the mixer section to be used creatively to introduce and remove notes in the arpeggiated melody. Finally, the Matriarch is also being utilized to sum the Grandmother’s audio in the VCA section, while the Matriarch’s analog delays are being used separately to provide unique delay effects to the Grandmother and Matriarch separately.

New Jupiter-X vs. Vintage Juno-106: PATCH MATCH™ **No Talking**

Published on Mar 3, 2020 MR TUNA Music

"Doing my best to recreate as-close-to-identical patches as I can manage on the new Roland Jupiter-X and the original Juno-106 to show off any noticeable differences between the two. Certainly the Jupiter-X is a much more capable tool with a lot of sound-design and power packed into a modern digital instrument; but for this comparison I will specifically focus on the pre-loaded Juno-106 engine included from the factory.
There are no added effects or processing other than the that of the famous Juno chorus function-- which you'll know immediately by their tell-tale noise machines. (You can turn this setting down or off entirely on the JP-X)

It's an exciting new episode of PATCH MATCH (from scratch!)™"
