EFFEXX string filter example

video upload by Jörg Schaaf

"A snappy noiseshot from the Delta CEP A2 turns into something different in the EFFEXX multi FX module RT-1701. The delaytime of the string filter is controlled by the Delta's step sequencer. Maybe you have not noticed yet, that the step sequencer of the Delta CEP A2 does not only work with the internal sound engine but also with the KB-CV output of the Delta's MIDI2CV converter."

SEGA SPACE HARRIERより”MAIN THEME" MEGA SYNTHESIS Ver.

video upload by NOZ MUSIC

"SEGAの体感ゲーム「SPACE HARRIER」のMAIN THEMEをSONICWARE LIVEN MEGA SYNTHESISでステップシーケンス演奏です。 MEGA SYNTHESISは、SEGAの家庭用ゲーム機「MEGA DRIVE」の内蔵音源をそのまま再現したレトロ・ゲームミュージック・コンポーザーです。

・YM2612 FMシンセ x 3トラック (6ボイス)
・SN76489 PSGシンセ x 2トラック (4ボイス)
・8-bit PCMサンプラー x 1トラック (3ボイス)

ステップシーケンサーで4小節ずつ打ち込み25パターン作成、手動でパターンチェンジしながら最後まで演奏してみました。 パターン切換した時に音がブツ切れるのは、仕様です。
FM音源パートの音色は全てMEGA SYNTHESIS本体で作成、PCMドラムはYAMAHA RX21からMEGA SYNTHESIS本体でサンプリングしました。
MEGA SYNTHESIS本体だけで、ここまで再現出来るなんて、本当に素晴らしくて楽しい商品ですね♪"

Googlish:

"Step sequence performance of the MAIN THEME from SEGA's experience game "SPACE HARRIER" using SONICWARE LIVEN MEGA SYNTHESIS. MEGA SYNTHESIS is a retro game music composer that directly reproduces the built-in sound source of SEGA's home game console "MEGA DRIVE."

・YM2612 FM synth x 3 tracks (6 voices)
・SN76489 PSG synth x 2 tracks (4 voices)
・8-bit PCM sampler x 1 track (3 voices)

I created 25 patterns by inputting 4 measures at a time using a step sequencer, and played them all the way to the end while changing the patterns manually. It is by design that the sound cuts out when switching patterns.
All the tones for the FM sound source parts were created using the MEGA SYNTHESIS itself, and the PCM drums were sampled from the YAMAHA RX21 using the MEGA SYNTHESIS itself.
It's a really wonderful and fun product to be able to reproduce so much with just the MEGA SYNTHESIS itself♪"

The Access Virus Has Been Discontinued

According to Amazona.de, the Access Virus has been officially discontinued.

Google translated:

Many people have already suspected it: Access mastermind Christoph Kemper has confirmed to us that the Access Virus TI2 has no longer been produced for a few months. There were many clues, as the last Access Virus TI2 series was released in 2009. The Virus TI2 series included the Polar, Snow, Darkstar and Desktop models. Nothing new has been heard from Access Virus Synthesizer since then. The TI2 has been available for all these years and disappeared from shops in the last few months. Only power supplies and rackmounts can be found on the Access Virus website.

The move away from Access Virus could have something to do with the fact that Christoph Kemper discovered his love for amp propiling in 2011 and released the first Kemper Amp, which is still a complete success today. Despite this success, Access had a stand at Superbooth 2018 and we were able to ask Christoph Kemper about plans for new synthesizers.

Christoph Kemper confirmed that he is still interested in synthesizers, but is currently at full capacity with the Kemper amps. It became clear that his company did not have the capacity to develop Kemper amps and Access synthesizers at the same time. In the interview it was suggested that there might be an Access Virus TI3, but he didn't want to specify."

ØCHD-OBER-FEST (live event) with DivKid, Instruo & Signal Sounds // ochd expander launch party

"In case you missed the live stream at the time, made it but would like to watch again, or were even at the in person event itself and wish to relive the beer, pretzel and modulation good times... here's a fresh 4k HD edited version of the OCHD-OBER-FEST event that myself (DivKid), Instruo and Signal Sounds had back in October 2023 to launch the new ochd expander.

I've also just put up a new video with the case and patch that I set up for this event. This was filmed more long form and in detail when I got back home. It's a polyphonic, generative ambient piece that makes use of lots of ochd and it's expander. Check it out here // [below]

The patch that launched the OCHD EXPANDER // Polyphonic Generative Ambient Eurorack Modular

video upload by DivKid

"Here we have a detailed run down of the patch that launched the expander. I brought this case and exact patch back from my journey up to Glasgow for the OCHD-OBER-FEST live event with Instruo in Signal Sounds. We launched the ochd expander at that event and this patch was my demo for that event. Note - you can check out the live event re uploaded and editing in 4k below.

This is patch is a 4 voice, polyphonic generative ambient piece that uses 4 wavetable oscillators into 4 VCAs for heavily modulated chordal sound sources. That is then tone, drive and level modulated before feeding two FX with a novel patch routing. It's highly dynamic, from near silent quiet sections to loud sections. All that dynamism comes from ochd and the ochd expander."

Teenage Engineering OP-1 Field Ambient Sampler Instrument Music

video upload by Mega Modularis

"Hello there!

And welcome to a nice little ambient patch for you to relax to. Using the Teenage Engineering OP-1 Field, and some instruments I made using the built in stereo sampler, I made this ambient music piece. I also used the excellent Teenage Engineering TP-7 to record the audio, before recording its’ playback into Logic, to help achieve a more tape-like final piece. I had a lot of fun making this piece, and experimenting along the way so i hope you enjoy!

I have a couple of videos in the works, such as a walkthrough video of making a piece similar to this one, using the OP-1 Field and its’ Sampler, to make some ambient music, and I’m also working on a video focused on the Make Noise Morphagene, one of my all time favourite Eurorack modules, but please let me know if there’s anything else you’d like me to explore and I’ll be happy to have a go if I can find the time!

See you next time,

MM"
