Liven Lofi 12 - Old School Breakbeat Slicing & Stretching


video upload by ChrisLody

0:00 Answering your questions
3:10 Cutting breakbeats into separate hits
7:18 Sample start position automation

"Here's a nice nerdy one about the new Sonicware Liven Lofi-12 sampler. This will seem very familiar to anyone that's watched my Volca Sample video on the same subject because it uses the same method but it's less complex to setup on the Lofi-12

It's equip with a decent set of tools that we can use to create some interesting effects like old school beat slicing, stretching and pitch shifting

Here is the BPM calculator I mentioned:
https://toolstud.io/music/bpm.php
1 bar of 75bpm audio is 3.2 seconds
3.2 seconds / 4 seconds max recording time = 0.8
10000 maximum slice points * 0.8 = 8000
So the end of a 75bpm drum loop is at 8000 in the sample edit mode

128 values / 16 steps = 8
So to spread a sample across 16 steps program the Start setting onto the steps like this:
0, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 112, 120"

One of my favorite songs from Depeche Mode from the album Black Celebration (1986)

I used the E-MU Emax SE Sampling Synthesizer (1986) for all sounds incl. the drums.
Like usual is this not a exact cover. My interpretation of this great track.

The E-MU Emax was one of the most used sampling synthesizers of the late 80s. Here is the full Emax playlist with a lot sampling sound demos, sampling tutorials and one synth demo tracks.

Sandcastles ( Dirtywave M8 )


video upload by Avrilcadabra

"Little track made entirely on M8's wavesynth.

Hi all, made some sand castle patterns in the oscilloscope fun to sometimes when you are lacking motivation. Square waves are also cool.

Gear used. Dirtywave M8

Sequential Prophet 5 Rev3.2 Owned By Dwayne Goettel Of SKINNY PUPPY

via this auction

You might remember the recent break-in at Malekko Heavy Industries posted here, and on Malekko.

Joshua Holley is selling his Sequential Prophet-5 Rev3.2 previously owned by the late Dwayne Goettel of Skinny Puppy to recoup funds.

From the lising:

"Ugh, this suuucks...but here we go.

Up for sale is Dwaynes old P5 Rev 3.2 (no MIDI)

I purchased this a while back non functioning and restored it back to playing condition. I left the keyboard chassis and keys with black spots from touring back in the day so it's super cool to see. The keys aren't perfectly level..for some reason I decided to keep it as close to original as possible...just functioning perfectly. cEvin signed it and dated 2003..its still there and puts a smile on my face when I play it. The only reason I'd consider selling this is due to a theft at my shop..there will be lots if instruments up for sale. Read about it in the link below."

Therevox Ondes VCO + Hakken Continuumini


video upload by John Schussler

"My uCVC module has arrived from Evaton Tech. It's a CV converter that takes the USB output of the Hakken Audio Continuumini (little sibling to the Hakken Continuum keyboard) and breaks it into usable CV outputs.

I got it specifically to use with the Ondes VCO, because the original Ondes Martenot after which the Ondes VCO is modelled used a...well what to me appears to be a ring on a string. So a continuous pitch movement rather than quantized by keys. I already had the Continuumini, so figured it should be a perfect match.

This is me running through the various voices on the Ondes VCO and different pitch ranges on the Continuumini to see what we get.

For a sequencer-based demo, see my earlier video on the Ondes VCO:"

Ondes VCO from Therevox - Ondes Martenot in Eurorack format

video upload by John Schussler

"This is a first look at the Ondes VCO. It just arrived, and I'm so pleasantly surprised by the sound that I figured I'd put a quick video up so others can hear it as well.

It's not a 'standard' VCO. Based on the Ondes Martenot, each of its voices are, on the one hand, traditional (sine, square, triangle), and on the other specifically treated to give a sound that's unique. And because it allows for onboard mixing of waves, all sorts of variety is possible.

I'll dig in deeper later, but for now, have a listen to some of the very particular voices that come out of this module.

Sequence from Stochastic IG. Envelope from Zadar.

00:20 Individual voices
01:28 Slow sequence
05:19 Add reverb and delay

Yamaha SY35 FM/AWM Synthesizer - Part 3 - Programming


video upload by Runningonair

Yamaha SY35 FM/AWM Synthesizer Runningonair posts

"In this video I get into the programming and try to come with a few decent sounds.

I also created an accompanying track, which just uses sounds from the SY35 (plus a vocal sample). The majority of effects are from the SY35 too. I have added compression and EQ, as well as doing a basic mastering job.

Let me know what you think of the synth in comments. I've been pleasantly surprised by it!"
