Stregambient

"Strega sometimes has a reputation as a noisy or even harsh synthesizer. But is it capable of pleasant ambient tones? Let’s patch it up with a 0-CTRL and a 0-Coast and find out!"

Behold the power of the DB-01 triangle

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Saw is everyone's friend, square is famous, so where does that leave triangle? The quiet one of three three, but beautifully formed and hides many talents. This is sort of a jam video, a tribute to the triangle but also a way to demonstrate a few different techniques to use when playing live.

First, the triangle is the only primary waveform used here to generate all the sounds. That varies from the cute little plinky sounds of a pure high triangle to the almost brassy sound when the sub-oscillator is layered in. The pattern consists of just three notes spanning three octaves so it's incredibly basic. But the contrast between the low hits and high plinky-plonks going through the Nemesis delay rhythmic setting creates the illusion of a much richer - even layered - pattern with drums. But of course it's all just one layer on the monophonic DB-01.

I'm playing the DB-01 arpeggiator over the top of the pattern and this causes the pattern notes to sometimes be "overwritten" and drop out which appears like a pattern variation. Then by varying the length of the arpeggiator gate you can get apparent note length differences between the pattern and the arp. The LFO synced to a 6-beat loop on a saw shape adds to the variations.

As usual there are no other effects used or DAW processing. But I did do some chopping up of the piece to trim it back from its magnificent 18-minute original :)

Yamaha DD-14 w/ 25 Point Patch Bay Mod

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Rare 1993 MIDI drum machine with a custom 25 point patch bay. This modification generates an array of original sounds, effects and rhythmic variations. Making a single connection on the patch matrix can dramatically alter the output but applying multiple connections produces an increasingly complex, sometimes aleatoric range of fractured, reversed, tonal, bit crushed, flanged, distorted, aliasing and delayed effects, 16-bit arcade sounds and digital noise, alternative rhythmic patterns and additional accents. The five included patch cables can also be stacked for further sonic manipulation.

The patch bay affects the 100 tempo adjustable onboard rhythms and tracks in addition to the pads and scraper which produce some great degraded digital effects and percussion hits.

Features:
8 velocity sensitive drum pads.
A 'scraper' ribbon controller for the performance of preset instruments, scratching and rolls.
100 preset rhythms with instrumental accompaniment options.
75 PCM percussion and effects sounds.
30 percussion sets.
Selectable roll, flam and echo effects.
Auto bass/ chord function.
Three user song memory.
608 mm x 281 mm x 105 mm."
