Alternative way to navigate effects


Happy Nerding

"Now there are two possible ways to navigate the effects:
1) standard browsing with sequential selection in both left and right directions
2) new browsing option with left button selecting 1 of 4 banks and right button selecting 1 of 8 effects within this bank.

10 second left button press enters into this effect selection mode. Low row shows standard browsing and upper row shows new browsing."

Deckard's Continuum Dream


Christophe Duquesne

"A Deckard's Dream controlled by a Continuum in MPE mode (with some additional help from a Kijimi, a NDLR and Valhalla Supermassive).

I was kindly lent a Deckard's Dream and a Kijimi from Black Corporation: for quite a long time, I wanted to try the Deckard to control it with a Continuum and the result is quite impressive. It's very different from the Eagan Matrix (the internal engine of the Continuum) and brings a very interesting set of colors ... and of course, it has this signature sound that triggers some memories (and, by the way, the Valhalla Supermassive I use here, as all Valhalla DSP effects, is really a must have). The MPE implementation of the Deckard is a bit unusual, but Ok for the Continuum, and a great thing is that, as for the Eagan Matrix, a single control can influence several parameters, each with its specific range, which is highly important for expression, and you manage to get an interesting mix of your own control and the legacy envelopes and LFO (that you usually play with your fingers on a Continuum).

In the video, the Kijimi is controlled by an NDLR by Conductive Labs, also a pretty nice combo."

Aquifex - Artiphon Orba 1st Demo - internal sounds and looper


SynthAddict

"Artiphon Orba first demo, internal sounds and looper only, custom set of presets loaded from the Orba iPhone app (several sets come with the app already).

Another video showcasing some MIDI control of iOS apps over Bluetooth coming shortly."

See the Artiphon label below for more.

Update: a couple of screenshots of the iPhone app interface and additional details via SynthAddict:


"Artiphon Orba first demo, internal sounds and looper only, custom set of presets loaded from the Orba iPhone app (several sets come with the app already).

I adjusted the brightness/contrast to show the LEDs better. The red recording LED at around “8 o’clock” on the ring is noticeable but a bit dim in some scenes, and you can see the bright blue LEDs count up as the loop progresses. The center button is like a shift modifier, controlling the device with macros.

Internal looper has control over tempo and octave, but the 4 layer recordings (drum, bass, chord, and lead) aren’t quantized.

The internal gyro and accelerometer allow various changes to modulation or timbre, and a simple bump can trigger another note as well (good for percussion). The 8 velocity pads (keys) in the ring can allow vibrato in one axis and filter cutoff in another. The modulation can be added after the layer is recorded as long as the recorder is still on.

Another video showcasing some MIDI control of iOS apps over Bluetooth coming shortly."

Neat saying about the most beautiful card in the deck. Remember that before you criticize others.

Many of you might remember Astronauta Pinguim from previous posts here, and of course his website featuring interviews with classic experimental electronic musicians.

Prophet Rev2 Arps - Sub Phatty Lead - Sunday Synth Jam


Kamilotomusic

"Sunday Jams are back, baby! 😎
After taking a short summer break from jamming I'm back again for season two! I took some time off to go on vacation and to work on a new EP.
For this jam I started with pad layers from Serum, Omnisphere, ARP2600 + some piano from Labs by Spitfire Audio. The bass is coming from the CS80 plugin and after that I added the Rev2 arps and the lead with the Sub Phatty.
Hope you like this one, let me know what you think ❤️"
