Rendez Vous with GM.LAB

video upload by Guido Scognamiglio

"Playing an excerpt of JMJ's 'Second Rendez Vous' with new GM.LAB d-i-y synthesizers - 2x Rondò (string machine) + X1000 (mono synth) + PicoSynth (mono synth). Visit www.gmlab.it"

"G.M. LAB is a side project of Crumar and Genuine Soundware.

G.M. LAB is the name we decided to give to our 'Genuine Midi' projects that you can build by yourself or buy pre-assembled.

The Idea
As Crumar and GSi, we design, manufacture and market professional quality digital musical instruments. On top of that, we also wanted to give our customers the ability to add some more electronic "utilities" that can be easily integrated with existing music rigs to help musicians get the best out of their equipment.

Open-Source
Since we're living the era of open-source, why not take advantage of it and give the users the ability to customize these projects or make them with the lowest possible budget? All of our projects are based on Arduino, possibly the most famous and easy to program existing framework for programming micro-controllers."

A non-sequencer sequence? Polyrhythms via Strymon Magneto!

video upload by John L Rice

"I’m using the 4 clock outputs of the Strymon Magneto delay to trigger 4 random voltages from the Doepfer A-149-4 which are then sent to the Instruo Quad Performance Quantizer which sends the pitch CV and Gates to the 4 voices (Synth Tech E330 VCOs, Klavis Quadigy EG, Xaoc Praga VCA/mixer) and the Magneto provides delays and reverb of course."

1 Hour of Ambient Modular Music - Perfect for Relaxation, Meditation, and Sleep

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

"Thanks for watching!
Hope this new series I am starting will help in your everyday life. This can be used for meditation, studying, or even to help you sleep. I got a new computer which is able to handle longer videos, so this is the first one like that.

Now that school has kicked in pretty hard, I will start posting once a week for the foreseeable future. I will keep uploading videos in HD until I save up for a new camera that records in 4K60UHD. so maybe by early next year, the quality will be impeccable. I also switched my video editing software from Adobe Premiere Pro to Black Magic Designs DaVinci Resolve 18, for that great color grading, and overall interface.
Cheers!
