2021/09 DAWless Summer Session - Styleflip

video upload by Stereoping

"I always disliked the dirty, scratched look of my black #MPC1000XL i once bought 2nd hand. In summer 21 i finally found the time to give it a decent styleflip. I planned to make it look a bit like the gorgous #MPC-60. First the original frontpanel was scanned to have a Photohop background. After all outlines and typo were added i gave a faceplate sticker with cutouts into production. Then the case and the acrylic window with it's deep scratches were sanded. The case got a white painting, the window was polished to high gloss. The window did not come out 100% perfect but much better than before. Btw... toothpaste does NOT do the job. Then I made some 3D-prints for nicer Data and Volume knobs, first in fancy transparent blue and red, later dark grey. Not sure which i like more, tending to the red/blue ones. The last step were some woodcheeks - difficult because the 1000 does have strangely formed sides with all kinds of edges and corners.

Featured gear besides the MPC: #OSCar, #JV-1080, #NordDrum2, DIY-MPC-MuteScener"

Can We import Ensoniq SQ-80 & ESQ-1 Sysex on Arturia SQ-80 V ? + link for more than 4k free Presets

video upload by Sound Provider

"I think I see this question at least 10 times since my yesterday video about my presets for the SQ 80v ( https://youtu.be/ECEvmpenHvI )
So I did a quick test (and this quick tutorial video) to see if it s working, not having a SQ80 in the studio at the moment i can't compare side by side, but we can say that it seems to work well and also it's interesting to be able to listen to all his presets of the past.
To make this test I found a huge source of presets on gearspace where it seems that someone compiled about 4500 presets (I didn't count, correct me if it's not):

Erica Synths Introduces the PĒRKONS HD-01

via Erica Synths

"It’s rather sudden– the bolt of lightning strikes quickly, but the roar follows behind, as if giving one time enough to inhale. Finally, it strikes your ears like the skies breaking apart and in all its magnificence it rides the wind.

PĒRKONS – a deity of old known by many names and also by ours on the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea – THUNDER, lord of the skies. We at Erica Synths proudly present our newest creation – PĒRKONS (THUNDER) - a drum machine and synthesizer that will change your approach to electronic rhythm synthesis – an instrument which bears the weight of a storm beneath its sturdy casing.
PĒRKONS features four sonically versatile hybrid voices (digital sound engine + analogue multimode filter with overdrive) and a sequencer with simultaneous control over all four percussion tracks.

Each voice has 3 sound engine modes, a HP/BP/LP filter and 8 controls for nuanced sound design, including an internal analogue BBD FX send. All voice parameter settings can be saved as KITS. To add dynamics to the performance, parameter automation is implemented and a modulation LFO can be assigned to all parameters.

For a real thunderstorm, integration with external gear is considered - each voice has a dedicated velocity-sensitive trigger input, individual output and FX send and return with 6.3mm jack sockets, along with extensive MIDI implementation. All voices are summed and run through a built-in optical compressor and master overdrive.

PĒRKONS HD-01 is a unique live performance and sound design instrument that tears down the borders between drum machine, synthesizer and drone instrument. Time to ride the skies!

Features:
- 4 hybrid voices (digital sound engine and analogue multimode filter with overdrive)
- 8 controls per voice
- Velocity sensitive trigger inputs for drum pads
- Individual voice outputs
- Individual sends and returns
- 64 kit and 64 pattern memory + additional memory on the SD card
- Built-in analogue bucket brigade delay and optical compressor
- Modulation LFO with morphing waveforms, phase shift and 8 destinations
- 4 track sequencer, 4 time divisions and 4 time multiplications per track
- Per-step ratchets and probabilities
- 4 shuffle algorithms
- MIDI IN and MIDI OUT

RRP: 1650 EUR (VAT excl.)
MAP: 1999 USD
Release date within 2021

FS1R improv with the wonderful Skerjanc controller

video upload by Video muzak

"More or less random noodling with the Yamaha FS1R using the hw controller designed and handbuilt by Robert Skerjanc. The Blokas Midihub (small grey box) helping things out. Just playing with the formants, FM and the nonvoiced operators at the part level. Audio could be better."

ARP 2600 Jam with Chase Bliss CXM 1978

video upload by Osceeulator

"STEREO: use good headphones/speakers for best experience!

ARP 2600 directly into a 70s Tascam Mixer with a stereo send/receive going into the CXM 1978 and back into the mixer. From the Tascam mixer into my UAD interface!

Decided to bring out the Arp 2600 and dive into the madness of semi modular with the CXM 1978 reverb pedal. Let’s see where this takes us!

I go back and forth from the onboard spring reverb to the CXM 1978, mix them together then sometimes just pure 2600 all dry.

After exporting I realized there’s a little bit of buzzing going on in the right channel, sorry about that. Must be the old Tascam mixer!"
