Hardware Jams Weekend Challenge - Moon Landing, Alien Concert (focus issue)

video upload by SynthAddict

"Two box jam, make in under 1 hour (or totally live).

Osmose and RC-505

Sadly my best take was just before this one, but I forgot to hit record!
Kids, always remember to hit record. What a dope I was... this one has some timing issues and messy playing. It's OK but I'm sad I messed up the best take. :-(

Also, sorry I messed-up the focus, not my day. :-P"

"Just wanted to make a sequence using all three and as many modules as I could. Nearly used all my cables!

Forgot to mention in the ending credits the use of 4 LFO's."

Iconic Kraftwerk sound resurrected on Circuit Tracks, featuring : We Are The Robots.

video upload by Big City Mastering

"Today marks the beginning of an exciting new project for me - a packed called '70s Gen Dream'. This project is all about the birth of electronic music, and one of the first classic electronic sounds that comes to mind is the iconic 🤖 'We are robots' by Kraftwerk.

I plan to recreate this timeless tune on the Circuit Tracks, bringing a touch of nostalgia and innovation to my work."

Audio Damage Introduces AD057 Axon 3

via Audio Damage

"A drum sequencer that thinks outside the box, where each beat is a live wire, sparking and connecting to create a rhythm that's alive. That's Axon 3 for you - not just an update but a complete overhaul of our legendary Axon series. This isn't your ordinary drum machine; it's a sonic adventure, blending the familiar with the futuristic.

At the heart of Axon 3 lies a sequencer inspired by the complex workings of artificial neural networks. Picture neurons, buzzing with energy, passing triggers in a dance of precision and chaos. When a neuron hits its trigger threshold, it doesn't just respond; it sings, through its internal synth voice, sends a pulse out into the MIDI universe, or both. The connections between these neurons aren't random; they're the building blocks of a rhythm sequencer unlike any. And with a dash of probability magic, we've introduced a drum programming style that's utterly unique.

But that's not all. Each neuron in Axon 3 comes equipped with a powerhouse of a synth voice, drawing on the best of both subtractive and FM synthesis, supercharged with a model inspired by our Boomtschack analog hardware drum module.

Axon 3 wraps all this rhythmic innovation in a sleek interface complete with a full mixer, crystalline delay, punchy compressor, and multiple outputs. Whether you're crafting yout next IDM masterpiece, scoring a film, or just exploring new sonic territories, Axon 3 is your co-pilot in this thrilling journey into sound.

So, are you ready to break the rhythm barrier? Welcome to Axon 3.

CHANGES FROM VERSION 2
• Greatly expanded synthesizer voice, with a full model of our Boomtschack analog drum synthesizer hardware (RIP).

• Pitch and scale quantizing of the internal synthesizer voices, for easier melodic programming.

• Extensive randomizer for changing some or all parameters.

• Cymbal oscillator from Tattoo added to noise section.

• Rough Rider compressor added to master output.

• Likelihood of trigger event and ratcheting added to sequencer, to greatly expand the rhythmic potential.

FEATURES
• Artificial Neural Network sequencer features seven neurons, and is easily programmed to create strange new repeating rhythms.

• Seven FM/VA percussion voices that also buss together to create a single monolithic complex percussion synthesizer, via AM and FM busses.

• Full mixer with pan, level, mute, and solo on each voice.

• Built-in stereo delay, for live playability.

• Built-in Rough Rider compressor on the main outputs.

• MIDI in and out, for driving Axon's voices from DAW and hardware sequencers, or driving other software and hardware from Axon.

• Internal transport for non-synchronized playback.

• Resizable vector-based user interface.

• XML-based cross-platform, human-readable preset system, with copy/paste, for easy transferring of your own presets and third-party offerings."

On the Nature of Tubelight: Sequential Prophet 5 + Metasonix R-52 Vacuum-Tube VCA/Distortion

video upload by MIKROPUSE

"Once nothing special sounding Sequential Prophet 5 chord progression now 'tubified' by an absolutely best-in-class Metasonix R-52 Vacuum-Tube VCA/Distortion (a Zerosum Intertia Edition 5U module), straight into a Mytek 192/8 AD Converter. No other preamps were used.
Few distortion devices come near Metasonix R-52 when it comes to preserving dynamic subtleties of source material. What's more, the natural compression that occurs helps a great deal, so the tracks require a little to no EQ during mixing. It does require a bit of tuning in, just to get the sound right where you want it to be."

"A Gibson Trini Lopez electric guitar and a Scrotum Lab Orgone Accumulator (Frac) going into a lovely, and ever so slightly distorting Zerosum Intertia Edition Metasonix R 52 filter (5U) via Thermionic Culture Rooster 2 preamp (in the background). Not pretty - pretty."
