Morning meditation with Buchla, Kesako & Morphagene

video upload by batchas

"I tried this small setup this morning in a 30 mins recording session.
This video is the first half of the session with a few cuts (the parts when I plug cables into the 258j for instance and it do that does not react - it's an old DIY project and I need to repair the faulty CV IN).
First time using the Morphagene in a patch (loaded with field recording samples).
External effects are: Audiothingies Doctor A, Eventide H9, Hologram Microcosm."

Morning meditation with Buchla, Kesako & Morphagene [Part 2]


"I tried this small setup this morning in a 30 mins recording session.
This video is the second half of the session, uncut.
First time using the Morphagene in a patch (loaded with field recording samples).
External effects are: Audiothingies Doctor A, Eventide H9, Hologram Microcosm.
I heard via headphones some saturation while preparing the video, which I didn't hear during recording. It looks like I did not set correctly the stereo level on the inputs of the Antelope Discrete 4. It would not be the first time. When I listen on YouTube it's even worse :(
A shame, cause I really enjoyed how this session did sound while improvising live."

Eurorack low pass gates - session 5 (ish)

video upload by John Schussler

Note this is the first post to feature BeepBoop.

"I can't stop collecting low pass gates. There's GAS, and then there's LPG GAS. Don't know what the deal is there.

Here's the latest batch. Most of them are small and passive, but some are bigger and powered and covered in knobs and sliders and stuff. So it's really a sound comparison, not a full module comparison.

Sound source: Befaco Pony square wave. Sequencer: Stochastic IG.
No envelopes, just gates out of the SIG.

"Sequencing the Nord Wave, Yamaha CS-15, Studio Electronics Boomstar, and Moog Source from the Akai MPC-X. The CS-15 is using a Kenton Pro Solo MK3 as midi to CV converter and the Source is using a Roland SBX-1. Drums are from the MPC and are Oberheim DMX samples. The highhat is going through a DeltaLab effectron for flanging. Behringer Pro-1 does the lead with its filter being modulated from the free running Frostwave Fat Controller."

Introducing The Memetune Annual 2023 - Book & Music by Benge

video upload by zack dagoba

Benge previously brought us 13 Systems, and 20 Systems, praised by Brian Eno back in 2008. You can find them and more on BandCamp.

"The Memetune Programme Annual 2023 takes the form of an A4 hardback book and double CD album, which compliments and celebrates the first six episodes of Benge’s debut television series, made at his Memetune Electronic Music Studio in 2022

To quote Benge from the introduction to the Annual: 'It was always such a thrill, during my teenage years, to discover a new annual compendium from one of my favourite bands, comics or in particular one belonging to a favourite TV series, such as Blake’s 7 or Space 1999

The photos and information contained in those pages always left me wanting to watch the next series ever more eagerly

And so it is an even greater thrill for me to be able to be presenting my very own annual compendium, derived from the content of my recent TV series

I do hope that this book will inspire similar feelings in you, and moreover, whet your appetite for the next series of The Memetune Programme'

The book is divided into the following sections:

SWITCHED ON - Featuring in-depth discussions about the history and development of the synthesiser over the years, including pictures, diagrams and feature guides of many classic and iconic instruments

SYNTHESISER CLUB - A very vintage look at a synthesiser classic or three

PATCHING TODAY - A deep dive into vintage modular systems and how to set up a patch on them, starting from scratch

VIDEO LAB - A look at old video equipment and how to create experimental visuals using it

The two CDs included inside the book feature all the music from the series, written and performed by Benge to complement the programmes. CD1 contains 33 synthesiser demos which map out the history of synthesisers through the years. CD2 has all the theme tunes, idents and incidental music Benge made for the series

The book will be released on February 3rd 2023 via Bandcamp. Follow the link to Benge’s merch page here: zackdagoba.bandcamp.com/merch

The digital version of the album can be pre-ordered here: zackdagoba.bandcamp.com/album/the-memetune-programme-album"

"The first half of this album (tracks 1 to 33) is made up of the demonstration tracks made by Benge for his TV series 'The Memetune Programme'. The tracks were performed live on each instrument and filmed for the television programmes

The second half (tracks 34 to 55) contains the theme tunes, idents and incidental music from the TV series

To watch the full episodes, please search on YouTube for "the memetune programme by benge" [or scroll down posts here on MATRIXSYNTH]

Please take a look at the Memetune Annual 2023 which is a limited edition A4 hardback book based on the TV series. The book includes two CDs inside, with the music from this release on them. It will be available to buy from the merch section here on the 3rd February 2023"

video upload by New Loops

"New Loops has announced the release of ‘Emphasis’, a new sound bank for U-he Diva. Here's what they say:

'Emphasis’ Diva presets – a new collection of expressive and creative Diva presets with an ‘emphasis’ on the filter and resonance. Diva has several filter models, each with a different character. This sound bank explores these filters in depth, pushing them to the limit to bring out harmonics, overtones, and reveal their less-than-obvious idiosyncrasies.

This Diva soundset is suitable for a wide range of styles of electronic music, including ambient and chillout, cinematic, soundtrack and film scores, electronica, synth music, and game music, and is also useful for trap, hip hop, future bass, house, techno, trance, and many more.'

Intro Price: £13.99 until January 31st, 2023 (Reg. £19.99). More info and free demo: https://newloops.com/products/emphasis-diva-presets
