Vocoder 222 by Techninaro

video upload by Lackan

"This is a demo of the Vocoder 222 prototype by a Gothenburg-based developer. Inspired by the legendary Syntovox 222 it really sounds fantastic, not many knobs but instant sweet spots and that really old school analog vocoder sound."

"Vocoder 222 is a 100% analog 10-band vocoder inspired by the legendary Synthovox 222.

It is assembled in a sturdy high quality black powder painted metal case with a retro look.

Neutrik connectors and long life high quality potentiometers fastened to the case provides a great user feel.

The heart of this vocoder consist of about 500 surface mounted components. Thanks to modern and smaller components we achieved this compact size compared to old rack-mounted vocoders.
Its powered by a standard 5V USB battery pack for great mobility or a standard USB adaptor (not included - please use only high quality parts).

For now this is only a very limited run that can be purchased in Sweden only."

"Nice clone of Syntovox 222 vocoder. V1 model, no phantom power on mic in. Used it for line (drum) processing anyway. Impressive spectral twisting but I don't have the room for it."

video upload by AnalogFX

"The SER-2020 is a monophonic semi-modular analog synthesizer with a formant filter section, designed to use as standalone synthesizer or in combination with Eurorack modules. Based on the Synton Syrinx synthesizer and added the flexibiltity of an MS-20. The filter design features a combination of a 24dB/octave Low Pass Filter, and two independent Resonant Peak Filters for dynamic sound. The sound is ranging from solid bass to articulated formant effects. Other features of the SER-2020 are the multi-routable Touch ‘N Bend Control together with the MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) capabilities makes the SER-2020 a sensitive instrument. The 2flexible routing makes the SER-2020 a versatile machine for sound effects."

Maschine+ and Maschine Jam combo demo

video upload by SynthAddict

"Simple demo with some fun live pitch experiments on 2 recent M+ live jams
Track 2 gets more weird and creepy. :-) - see chapters below ...

0:06 Track 1 - MJam played like a Circuit, plain audio
0:39 Track 1 - live pitch experiments, tune mode
5:35 Track 2 - plain audio
5:55 Track 2 - more pitch experiments, tune mode

Just got a Maschine+ and since they added the Maschine Jam compatibility to the M+ I wanted to do some quick pitch experiments that take the M+ to a whole new level without a computer."

Generative Ambient music in Ableton Live (free project file) | generative music for studying

video upload by CNTR RNDM

"Stumbled on this amazing @ANDREW HUANG modular twinkle jam (link below) the other day and it inspired me to try and achieve something similar in Ableton Live. Ableton is really great when it comes to generating and manipulating midi notes. It provides you with all these tools that let you manipulate midi events in so many ways. In fact, you could say that Ableton, at least kind of, is a / is like a modular synthesizer. @Seed to Stage has a really great tutorial on this topic (link below).
So, for this jam, I basically just used three instances of Wavetable (one for the lower notes, one for the mid notes, and one for the higher notes) and a TON of Ableton's midi fx to create and edit midi events, like, randomly. I also used @Ned Rush s probability tool (link below) to modulate note probability over time, you know, just to create some movement. And to top it off, I used the amazing Microtuner to create kind of a microtonal-I'm-a-bit-tipsy kind of vibe.
And the cool thing is, you can download the stock plugin version of the project file for free…have fun with it! Here's the link:

(little sidenote: this generative patch is BY NO MEANS perfect...I should have limited the range of the high notes here and there for example...so please tweak it, improve it, do whatever you like and make it your own!!!)

Two DB-01s play "gentle" stereo (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"With identical machines it's tempting to play them as a stereo pair. Hard panning left and right with different sounds gives an interesting 1960s-style separation, although it can be offputting in headphones without a little stereo field "smoothing". For that I used the Zen delay in tape ping-pong mode and the Boss RV-6 stereo reverb. I was also keen to show the DB-01s playing "nice" lead sounds.

Starts off with both DB-01s on 32-step patterns. I then play the right-side unit in arp mode 1-octave with 90% gate. By not holding the notes down the entire time you allow the underlaying pattern to poke through every now and then which can add variation (nad in this case some percussive effect) depending on how each section is played. The DB-01s percussion sounds also appear to sound almost uniterupted because of the delay, despite playing the arp and overriding the pattern.

The second time around both units are in arp mode, with the left-side unit on a 10% gate. I also switch on the Zen's overdrive. I took down the volume of the overdrive section in the DAW since it adds a big boost. But there are absolutely no effects on the sound other than what you see. The patterns include quite a lot of pitchmod notes, accents and a little filter mod - almost a "Perkons-lite" style. (I'm really looking forward to that machine - even if it is blue. I'm convinced it shares quite a bit of sound-engine design with the DB-01).

You can hear the uneffected "dry" sound at the very end.

Interview with William Mathewson (WMD) - live transitions in Eurorack modular for live performance

video upload by WMDevices

"Playing a live set is a challenge and when it comes to live electronic music on hardware instruments, the set of challenges become unique. One of our goals here at WMD is to make instruments that are fun to interact with in real time, and get to be played like a traditional instrument. Another goal is to create tools that allow for preparation, making live performance less stressful and more fun.

In this video, Alex talks with William Mathewson, the WM of WMD (William Mathewson Devices), about how he prepares for a live set. We take an inside look at how he uses the WMD Metron, Voltera, and Rossum Assimil8or module to create a unique palette of sounds that moves subtly from one song to the next. William's style requires lots of preparation and for him to write an entire set worth of music at once in a linear fashion, rather than one song at a time, and much different than a totally improvised performance."
