Ping-Ping Pong - A Supercritical Neutron Flux study

Supercritical Synthesizers

"I tried to think of the cheapest trick in the modular synthesizer cookbook. Well, the cheapest trick without Rick Nielsen.

Space. Not that fancy let’s-grab-a-bite-of-that-asteroid-while-we’re-there modern space exploration. The ye-olde-paper-mache-flying-saucers type sci-fi. In Finnish we’d use the word ”Pulputus” which means a sort of a bubbling sound but far more useless. The right kind of useless.

Filter pings! Oh what fun with the Liquid 4 pole setting. This patch has a LFO modulating the Antumbra Knit (a miniature Mutable Instruments Plaits) which has a single low frequency saw wave triggering the filter pings. Both cores of the filter are in use and spread with the stereo control.

After the filter it goes to a miniature Clouds. My own hacked kinda-kammerl-parasites firmware. Only verb this time from it. Then it’s routed to the miniature parasite Warps. Tape echo there. Holy mackerel it sounds good!

Oh the ring? The nice folks at Iceland’s Genki Instruments sent us a couple of their products. The Wave ring’s rotation movement controls the filter FM and the gate starts and stops the tape. Controlled directly from the Wavefront module. Ég tala ekki íslensku but damn this thing is expressive and easy to use. You’ll see more of this in our demos later.

Flamma FS02 reverb pedal with a Sub37

Richard DeHove

"A new pedal by a pretty new company. I bought this because it was super-cheap, but also because it was true stereo with knob-per-function. Turns out it was pretty good. Well, except for the "Mod" style which added a weird high frequency noise.

0:00 Intro blather and knob functions
1:18 Room
1:55 Saving a preset
2:36 Hall
4:17 Church
6:58 Cave
9:00 Plate
10:35 Spring
12:16 Mod

This isn't a full run through of every knob combination, just a feel for what it sounds like with some typical synth sounds. The levels vary a bit but that's what happens with different sounds, especially with a Moog filter! I tried to balance things as best I could but didn't use anny processing of any sort on the sound (no EQ, no limiter, no compressor etc). Finally, I have no affiliation with Flamma or any other company and I paid full price for the pedal (US$78 including delivery!)

Improv on Soft Synth, Drum Machine, and Harp

poorness studios

"I woke up and just felt like making a quick ditty with Alchemy (soft synth) and my Aklot 15-string harp. I'm not sure why I thought of that combination, but I added a drum loop and it ended up sounding pretty darn cool. If anyone is curious, I'm using an M-Audio Oxygen 25 controller over USB. I hope you folks like it.

Tech Talk: Lady Starlight and her raw, modular techno (Electronic Beats TV)

Telekom Electronic Beats

"Telekom Electronic Beats TV met with Lady Starlight for the next episode of Tech Talk, and got into the nitty gritty of her relationship with modular synthesis. Making her name on legendary labels like Stroboscopic Artefacts and Len Faki's Figure, she has gone on to become one of the best known live acts on the circuit. She has also regularly performed live collaboratively with techno legend Surgeon. Join us now, as she talks us through all things Eurorack, and how it relates to her live performances."

Yamaha CS-30

"Original vintage Yamaha CS-30 analog synthesizer in excellent playing condition, freshly serviced and calibrated, and absolutely beautiful. The 30 was Yamaha’s flagship, most powerful mono-synth, the mono corollary to the poly CS80, as was the minimoog to the memory-moog.

The CS-30 however, makes a minimoog seem like a child’s toy. The 30 has every feature imaginable, and in duplicate! Two VCO’s (plus LFO which goes into the audible range), two multi mode filters, two VCAs and three envelopes, as well as on board sequencer, and super flexible, almost modular routing possibilities. The bass on this thing is insanely nasty, and it easily goes into abstract, mind bending space noises."

Crumar Trilogy 3-Section Polyphonic Analog Synthesizer

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The instrument is fully functional, all 3 sections (synth - organ and string) are working correctly. Super Super Italian sound! (especially the synth and string sections!)

The synh has only 2 age-related defects:
- the wooden side panels are slightly damaged, mostly in the lower part.
- the upper part of the slider that controls the "release" is broken. The slider can still be moved easily by free hand."
