Dark jam with the Ableton Push 3 Standalone and Novation AFX Station

video upload by Jay Hosking

"A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

This is the fourth track I've made specifically for the Push 3, and the first where I've used Ableton Live to make the entirety of the song. Some of Live 12's new features, like the generative sequencer tools, can be a fun way to get quickly inspired. I still miss many aspects of Reason when working in Live, but it's fun to change things up.

Kudos to the amazing Novation AFX Station. This synth has a fantastic panel, is a great size (not too big, not too small), two levels of drive/distortion, two filter options, great either clean or gritty, excellent resonance on the filter, etc. The more I use it, the more I love it. It's been around for 11 years, and there are more expensive mono synths, but I'd reach for this one before most for something dark and interesting.

I'm either 40 or 50 percent through this particular album/set and really happy with the music so far. The Push 3 really allows me to create songs in a way that no other setup has allowed. And while there are many features I wish it had (especially more on the side of performance), I'm finding myself happier and happier thinking of it as my live-set device. Can't wait to take these songs on the road.

Ableton Push 3 — most sounds, effects, and performance
Novation AFX Station — mono synth melody/lead thing

Performed and recorded live, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

Elektron Digitakt II | First Techno Jam

video upload by Slava Soloma

"Got my DT II quite early and like it so far. This is my first jam with some samples I imported from my OG Digitakt and some synths sounds I recorded. The 16 tracks really open up the Device.
Recorded straight into Iphone ProMax 15 without further Processing (only master Overdrive on the DT)"

PrssPnt theme music by Sam!

"The PrssPnt music synthesizer module is a controller in which several signals are generated by touching the printed copper wire at the bottom of the instrument. Touching PrssPnt, you become part of the circuit, generating a total of four simultaneous signals (two CV, two Gate).

The basic function of PrssPnt will be familiar to anyone who has used Pressure Points or 0-CTRL. It could be seen as a single “souped-up” channel of one of these devices. Since it is a single channel, the tuned voltage outputs are not relevant, and instead are replaced with more playable sensitivity controls and alternate pressure and gate outputs.


• Momentary Gate output remains high as long as it is being pressed
• Toggled Gate output goes high and low with each successive press of the plate: press it to make it go high, press it again to make it go low
• Pressure output generates a positive control signal proportional to the amount of Pressure applied, further tailored by the Sensitivity Panel Control
• Smooth Touch Function recreates the useful patch of sending a Pressure Output through a carefully tuned slew limiter for extended function generation
• Turning up the Slew amount will allow for larger than life functions with very long decay to be generated by hand.
• All four outputs available simultaneously


Specs:
4hp
14mA @+12V
0mA @-12V

"The Ch. Svr music synthesizer module is a small utility module, offering several channels of signal-processing that will be useful in just about any modular system. As a condensation/extension of the sum/offset/attenuversion aspects of MATHS, it continues the great tradition of sculpting the control signals we use to sculpt our sound signals.

• Scale, amplify, attenuate, or invert an incoming signal using Channels 1 or 2
• Generate DC offsets when Channel 1 or 2 is unpatched
• Crossfade between two signals, or attenuate one signal, using Channel 3
• SUM and INVerted Sum Bus for addition, subtraction, mirroring, inversion etc.
• Individual Channel Outputs for Channels 1 and 2 allow independent use of all three channels
• Anywhere you need more subtle modulation, Ch. Svr is there for you… now all your eurorack slivers may have subtle and intentional modulation they deserve!

Designing A Case For Percussion // Eurorack with SP404 & Digitakt

video upload by Michael Manning

"My new album: https://sovnrecords.bandcamp.com/albu...

In this video I talk through my process of using a small ALM 52hp Eurorack Case to expand my percussion options within a setup. It is driven via a Digitakt which feeds into an African rhythm derived trigger module. Everything is then fed into an SP404.

This is the basis for my attempt at creating and performing live music. In the future I hope to show more developments into this process and eventually film a live set for this channel."

"Hi, I'm Kim Bjørn, the founder of Bjooks. We're an independent publishing company at the intersection of music, visual arts, history, engineering, and pop culture. My first book was funded via Kickstarter in 2017, and since then we have done two other successful Kickstarter campaigns and released another four books - seven titles in total. THE MINIMOOG BOOK is our most vital project yet, documenting and delving deep into the iconic electronic instrument that has shaped generations of musicians and songs. We've already spent a massive amount of funds on exclusive photography, research, and production - and we need your help in getting the last bits together to release this important title.

We’re deeply privileged to bring this beautiful book to Kickstarter for our loyal readers and enthusiasts everywhere. Your support in making this labor of love a reality will mean the world to us, the music world - and hopefully you as well :)

Please check out the campaign and select a reward - your support is highly appreciated, and we can't wait to get this visually stunning and informative coffee table book in your hands later in the year.
