Quarantine Sessions 2

Published on Mar 21, 2020 Ran Kirlian

"Second live jam recorded during Covid-19 quarantine in my home studio. This live performance follows a similar structure than the previous one, containing different improvised sound environments melted together with a strong presence of a minimal modular system. In this session the main synthesizers were the Soma Lyra-8 and the Nordrack 2x, both reinforced with The Amazing Noises Reverb on the iPad thru Lexicon Omega audio interface. Nordrack is played from Korg Nanokey, connected to the iPad as well and routed with Aum to the Omega interface to the synth MIDI in. Sadly not much can be seen in this video due to bad camera (or artist) position, but I hope you like the music instead.

With this live recordings I’m not only having fun while playing relaxed without my typical time limitations, but also expressing this unique experience of being confined at home, watching the news, seeing the empty streets from my windows and having a social life limited to my wife, my son and my cats beyond the electronic communications.

Self Synthesizing

Published on Mar 21, 2020 George Benton

"Playing around with the sequencer to make a pattern with rests instead of straight 8th notes. Ended up making an 8-step + 8-step with different filter/envelope settings on each group using an electronic switch.
Of course, one thing leads to another... :)"

Gotharman’s Little Deformer 3 // Danish Sampler & Synth Jam #TTNM

Published on Mar 21, 2020 THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"I received my Gotharman’s Little Deformer 3 and had a little deformed jam =)

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥

The Little Deformer 3 is a Danish groovebox, sampler, synth, effects box, granular processor, analog multi-filter, coffee maker, audio recorder, MIDI & CV and performance sequencer ... and much more, I guess. I’m just scratching the surface here and look forward to dive into it.

Introducing Elmyra - a DIY drone synthesizer by Neutral Labs

Published on Mar 21, 2020 nyppy

"This is just a quick demo of my Elmyra prototype. You can easily build this synth yourself. I will share the schematics, PCB and code in a few days. A video detailing all the features is also coming up. Just watch this space or drop me a message.

This is obviously inspired by the Soma Lyra-8, which I love, but it's not a clone at all.

Reverb provided by Eventide Space. Next video will have the dry sound as well. The Elmyra delay can get pretty reverb-y on its own.

Note this is the first post to feature Neutral Labs.

TTMC 158 drone and Easel melody

"I'm still learning this Tokyo Tape Music Center prototype Dual Sine-Saw Generator 158. Here it is providing the rich, spacious drone while the Buchla Music Easel's Complex oscillator explores the melodic landscape."

Korg NTS-1, Triangular Arpeggiator Jam

Published on Mar 21, 2020 Waveformer

"Here's a simple jam featuring only the Korg NTS-1 synthesizer, using its surprisingly powerful arpeggiator.

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

There's no way to share NTS-1 patches yet, and not easy to read parameters settings, so this is the patch as far as I can remember. Oscillator type Triangle, Sweep rate 0.1. Filter type LP4, Resonance 0%, Rate 9Hz, Depth 50%. Modulator type Flanger, Time 25%. Depth 40%. Reverb type: Submarine, Time max, Depth 60%, Dry: 65%. Tremolo rate 0.2Hz, Tremolo depth 20%. Arpeggiator type d-C, Tempo 69 BPM, Pattern length 19, pattern type varies throughout the jam.

During the jam, I play with filter cutoff, oscillator shape modulation, and switch the arpeggiator between octave, sus4, minor and minor diminished.

The audio is recorded on a Korg KP2S and normalized in Audacity. Video is recorded on iPhoneX. Audio and video is synchronized in DaVinci Resolve 15.

Gear:
- Korg NTS-1
- Korg Mini Kaoss Pad 2S (for recording)

Connections:
- NTS-1 - KP2S (for recording)

Misc:
- NTS-1 effects: Delay: Ping-Pong, delay time max, depth 60%, dry 25%, Reverb: Submarine, time max, depth 60%, dry 65%
- Tempo: 69 BPM
- Key: Cm"

MIDIMINI V30 Oscillator Demo

Published on Mar 21, 2020 StudioElectronics

"This demo is an attempt to capture the raw power and fatness of the Studio Electronics Midimini V30- High quality monitors or headphones are recommended. We do recommend hearing it 'in person' if at all possible. However if you can not, and are curious to know what the raw oscillators sound like- This video is for you Starting with a single oscillator, various filter and resonance settings, and envelope settings. As the video progresses the sounds get a little more complex and wild."

Midimini V30: Monosynth Polysynth #2

Published on Mar 21, 2020 StudioElectronics

"A Bass Odyssey was planned (and promised) yet a more salient inspiration was followed. And it was/is good. Built on the same shell of our mid-80s ST. REGIS tune, “You Lover Lost,” this vid features a near punishingly poppin’ bass response to the initial backstage band effect, and then drifts purposefully into organy, multi-tracked lead slides; a dreamy Fm gathering of heavenly, ethereal eternals focus and fire a Quadnic-like pulse, after that haunting “Sound in my Head” patch made the way straight for its duality. Earthy Taurus-like pedal vibrations praise and present reprise tonalities, and wise culminating paraphonic conversations. Revelations ensue.

OK, THAT was fun. In short, the MIDIMINI V30 makes sounds you like—well beyond the typical; the patchpoints, gain-staging, ringmod, triangle wave #1 wrapped around the filter, crossmod, and Boomstar LFO see to that. 🎧 or better per favore.
