AKAI AX-80 vintage Synthesizer QUICK DEMO, no effects

Published on May 31, 2020 Mindburner

"Some say the AKAI AX-80 is thin and uninspiring. Well maybe some of the presets are but the synth can be dark and moody and powerful with 3 LFO's

This one has the Tauntek OS which improves the use of the filter in that you don't have to re trigger the keys to hear any changes you make. It still steps a bit but I don't mind this at all


For some reason, these synths seem to get treated pretty badly and abused. Broken membranes, bricks dropped on them and cigarette burns galore. This one was save a few years ago. I have just finished calibrating it, which improved the synth greatly.

I like them so much I have 2

Must get an AX-60"

Chorb, a Max For Live Chord generator.

Published on May 31, 2020 suis-je fou

"Chorb is a Chord generator, simple scaler and pitch randomizer all in one.
Sometimes finding chords or pushing up chord variations can be tricky. Chorb is made for that.
He will be able to play four note in addition to the one curently playing, scale them, and play them randomly in a defined range !


Chorb will act if you set a note number value more than +0 and turn it On. He will play this note in addition of any note you are currently playing or a sequence currently running.
In Random menu, you can set if you want that valu playing randomly or not, and if so, between which values the random will act. (-) Values will not be negative, the currently playing note will stay the fundamental, it will be the lower value of the random range.

Only setting notes in additions each one of them can sounds cool, but also really weird and feel like you are doing anything. This is why Chorb have a simple Scaler. Simply disable the notes you don’t want, and your chords will not go on them. And the random will also play anything, but always tuned on the selected scale.

Of course every parameters is mapable.
And if you want to record your Chord progression to select and loop a specific part, you just have to put Chorb in a midi track, your instrument in another one, and set the midi in of this instrument track to be the one where Chorb is. Now, the records will have every notes Chorb will play !

Ciat-Lonbarde STUBERBRO

Published on May 30, 2020 Peter B

tail/dubbing: olive grizzly marabou
shellback: antistatic "chips" mylar
hackle: hungarian partridge cape
wingcase: kapton tape
location: smith and bybee lakes

input sound: soft pop by PE/BASTL
connectors: banana and antistatic foam


"three guys vocal technique" is a formal extension of Beck's "multivoice." Consider trying it in your next project. The first guy is a normal announcer. The second is a weird or gruff voice, something to add texture. The final guy is secret, a whisper, something to add mystique.


Dudero Singing is related to "three guys," because it is a great way to inspire the weird guy. You take a synth like the stuber with rich inputs, and mangle it a little, and try to sing that. It can mangle lyrics and channel frustration into something mysteriously entertaining.

STUBERBRO 2

Published on May 30, 2020 Peter B

Thanks to Stu Mostofsky for being the original "Stu" in "Stuber!"
That was back in Baltimore. The brain scientist liked his eccentric synths, and svengali to the weirdo scene. Well I had this stereo filter, it was real wet, but we needed to add some Ciat to the Lonbarde, so it got the digital octave divider. The rest is history!

DIY Project #42: Bastl Instruments Propust

Published on May 30, 2020 poorness studios

"For my next DIY project, I built one of the Bastl Propust kits. I wasn't really looking for a fixed filter but but its cheap and they're weren't any demos on YouTube, so I decided to build one. It's actually a pretty useful little module. For being 2HP and passive, it's a good addition to any rack."
