KICK DRUM TRIGGERS MOTOR SYNTH | Oil & Gas at EVIL JOE's

video upload by Gamechanger Audio

"We have a feeling that Tom and Matiss from GAMECHANGER AUDIO may have created the heaviest Synth & Drums band around. Meet OIL & GAS, and the first track they wrote for MOTOR SYNTH MKII and drums, recorded at Evil Joe Barresi's studio in LA.

Notice how the kick drum triggers one of the MOTOR Synth’s voices thus creating a perfect bass line that's on time with every beat. Here's how the setup works:
The bass and lead parts are performed on the MOTOR Synth simultaneously. The lead line is performed on the built-in 8-button keybed and arpeggiator. The bass part sequences are programmed with the built-in sequencer that is being triggered by the kick drum mic connected to the MOTOR Synths audio input.

The MOTOR Synth is in split output mode, where each motor voice is routed through a separate output channel. Each voice is then routed through individual signal paths. The lead voice goes through the BIGSBY Pedal pitch shifter and a stereo delay. The bass voice goes through the PLASMA Coil, LIGHT Pedal, and into a bass amp. The final bass sound is a mix of a DI from the Motor Synth and a mic on the bass cabinet.

Special thanks to Joe “Evil” Barresi and his assistant Jun Murakawa for taking good care of us during the recording in their Pasadena studio.

LOFI SYNTAKT (Feat. Fugue Machine + UA Silo)

video upload by Perplex On

"#Jamuary2023 day 22: #Syntakt meets #fuguemachine and #ualofiaf today! Fuguemachine is sequencing Syntakt with every note on being randomly distributed over the first 8 channels on the Syntakt using #polythemus as a little helper. This is kind of a workaround to play chords on the Syntakt by playing multiple channels at the same time. Added delay with #k7d and routed through UA lo-fi-af it literally gets into lofi territory 😊 Added projectionmapped visuals on top!"

Does AI dream of future synthesizer..? - Midjourney A.I.

video upload by Axis of Wold

"This is a conceptual synthesizer design from the mind (or neural network?) of an artificial intelligence called Midjourney. Ostensibly this synth employs the rare synthesis technique called scanned synthesis. Is this a possible future synth? For consumers? The design ideas given by an AI like Midjourney are valuable beyond comprehension, exterior designs that can inspire syntheziser companies all over the world for an eternity."

INTRODUCING THE CRB COMPUTER DRUMS

video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"Very obscure rhythm box from 1980 - the CRB Computer Drums is the stand-alone drum machine from the CRB Computer Band 2000. Lovely analog drum sounds - 9 sounds in total - each with its own mute option dip switch.
This makes these machines quite interesting, we would have preferred individual volume sliders instead but there probably wasn't enough free real estate for that.
One rhythm preset at a time - no mixing and matching.

20 rhythm pattern presets rock, mambo - you name it.
An additional 20 pattern variations - selectable to occur either on every 4th or 8th bar.
And last but not least, a Break button with an additional 20 fill-ins.
So this little box actually sports 60 rhythm patterns in total.

Have a look at our other CRB-related videos - they made a small production run of cool gear in the late 70s and early 80s of which few units survive today."

M2Synth Sequencer 192 Testing - Tangram Cover

video upload by John L Rice

"I recently finished building the Sequencer 192 kit from Soundtronics’ M2Synth modular line. 🥳 In the back of the manual they have a tutorial on how to program the opening sequence for Tangerine Dream’s famous piece Tangram. It was a good way to get to know the sequencer better. (I dialed in the synth sound from memory so I’m like way off! 😊)

Kits will be available soon in MOTM and MU compatable formats on the Soundtronics.co.uk site and prebuilt modules will be available on the M2Synth.com site."

Clavinetic! For Hohner D6 Clavinet and Moog Voyager

"Original piece showcasing the classic Clavinet sound. There's a section with a wah pedal, but it's mostly straight clav, double-tracked with a touch of delay and chorus on one track."
