Robert Moog Interview on the Moog Synthesizer

video upload by Robotussin Vintage Synths

"Rare little interview CNN did with Robert Moog in the ’90s, when he was living in North Carolina, designing machines as a free agent, having left the synth company he founded. This month would have seen Moog’s 90th birthday, had he not passed away in 2005.

I’ve always loved the man’s humility and straightforwardness. Big love to him and all those who knew him."

Saw Mill River Parkway (from the NYS Thruway to the Taconic Parkway)

video upload by CatSynth TV

"A ride along the Saw Mill River Parkway in Westchester County on a beautiful autumn day. We exit from the New York State Thruway (I-87 and I-287) onto the northbound Saw Mill. This segment is a narrow winding freeway through some wooded areas of Westchester. We exit in Hawthorne, NY onto the northbound Taconic State Parkway, a highway that we will follow in future videos.

Because this section of the Saw Mill reminds me a bit of California Highway 13 (the Warren Freeway) in the Oakland Hills, we are bringing back the music from our CA 13 video along with some changes and updates. The music is in 13/8 meter.

Instruments featured include:
Tabla from EastWest Ra, with MOK Filtryg dual filter
Arturia Wurli V and Buchla Easel V
Sequential Prophet 12
Cherry Audio GX-80 and Sines
Crank Sturgeon Pocket Gamelan
Arturia MiniBrute
Qu-Bit Prism multi-dimensional effects module
Strymon StarLab
Bass from EastWest Fab Four"

https://www.destiny-plus.com/programm..."



Programma 900 is a harmonic musical computer.

Built on fpga and arm cortex technology.

** Programma 900 has 6 polytonal voices, each featuring Odd harmonic, Even harmonic, Harmonic partials, Harmonic tilt and fundamental frequency control.

** Four quadrant multiplication of individual voices

** x32 complex gestural cv buffers allowing 6 min cv recording windows for all x32 mod destinations and voice envelopes

** individual modes for speed and attenuation for each x32 gestural cv buffer.

** 3000 note MIDI record buffer and looper.

** X3 location A-B-C / pan controls

** experimental Stereo regeneration / delay algorithm with over 12 min regeneration buffers, multiple regeneration modes & buffer filters.

** 6x interpolating morphing inputs to each voice

Accompanying programma 900 is a desktop app native to Mac OSX that opens extra utilities on the hardware such as
* multiple voice allocation modes
* pnp / drum mode
* dice/randomising all hardware parameters
* grouping banks of parameters together per voice.
* calibration
* saving / exporting and importing / preset management.

Brinta from Error Instruments is Granular Gratification

video upload by NOISEBUG

"In a slight deviation from the standard chaos coded modules from @errorinstruments, Brinta, a collab with This is not Rocket science is one of the most immediate, playable a beautiful sounding granular Modules available.

https://www.noisebug.net/products/err...

With the record button left engaged you will very quickly realize the simplicity that Brinta offers at deconstructing sequences and loops in real time. Smear, rewind and add extra grains. CV control over all parameters. It even includes save slots which is great for repeat performances.

Learn more at Noisebug.net or find Brinta on our Reverb page"

ANA 2 - What it Do?

video upload by Mystic Circuits

"Here is our admittedly super long ANA video manual. Doing the overview video for ANA was kind of tough because it is sort of like doing a demo for 9 different modules and they all work in a bunch of different contexts. As a result, we decided to focus this video on the absolute basics of the module to hopefully give you the fundamental understanding needed to use it. There will be another, hopefully shorter, video following this one showing some actual musical patch examples using ANA.

For the written manual and to order go to our website here:

Ekko From Mars - Legendary Eko Computerhythm Sample Pack

video upload by Samples From Mars

"The rarest drum machine we've ever sampled!

https://samplesfrommars.com/products/...

Ekko From Mars contains 275 loops and 240 round robin one-hits, with clean and processed versions for both. You'll get full-beat loops and stems for bass drums, tops and more - ranging from classic rhythm box patterns to more modern genres. This is the most extensive sample pack available of the beloved early 70's Italian made Eko Computerhythm."

Samples From Mars · Ekko From Mars

"Released in 1972, the Italian-made Eko Computerhythm (which we're lovingly referring to as the 'Ekko') was the first programmable drum machine, shaping the sound of electronic music forever after. With only around 50 ever made and less than 15 in circulation today, it's taken us years to find one - but finally, we have, and our high expectations have been exceeded- nothing could fully prepare us for how cool this thing is to look at, play and hear!

Of course, we wanted to share this joy with you by creating the most extensive Eko sample pack in existence. Capturing round robin one-hits, loops and stems, we preserved the natural sound of this pioneering rhythm box, and further processed it to extend the possibilities of this analog powerhouse for years to come.

The First Programmable Drum Machine

Rhythm boxes were first created out of necessity, to provide pre-made beats to accompany an organ player, for example. As such, they were hardly considered instruments in their own right.

We aren't sure exactly why Eko, an Italian company making guitars and organs during the psychedelic revolution of the 60's, had the foresight to create the first ever user programmable step sequencer (possibly some mind-expanding substances?). But what we do know is that this step sequencer would change the face of music and music technology forever after, (after all, we're still using it today!)

Sporting a space-age user interface with 16 steps per track for user input, a punch card reader to load sequences, 12 voices and individual outs, musicians were no longer reliant on using pre-programmed factory Waltz and Fox Trot presets, and could finally program their own custom patterns and perform live with an analog drum machine. The Computerhythm quickly garnered favor with innovative musicians and groundbreaking composers like Jean-Michel Jarre, Lee Scratch Perry and Tangerine Dream.

Preserving the Original Sound
The Eko features 12 classic rhythm box sounds (ok, one is a 'rolling drum' which is quite odd) and upon first listen, it is warm, punchy and full of life- somehow more defined and pro sounding than any other rhythm box we've used - likely due to its robust internal electronics (this thing is huge!) and direct outs."

SpinTracer Tutorials


"Dive into our comprehensive tutorial series on SpinTracer, designed for both sound designers and musicians. Each video goes in-depth, exploring all the features and demonstrating practical applications to enhance your audio projects."

via Tonstrum Audio

SpinTracer enables real-time control of sound, allowing you to move audio through three-dimensional space with your mouse movements. The integrated creative motion engine provides a dynamic layer for manipulating these sources into mesmerizing geometric patterns or random, swarm-like textures.

REAL-TIME CONTROL
Users can set exact dimensions for the sound's motion, define its maximum speed, and adjust its trajectory with gravitational steering force. The sound object's movement is not just an approximation but a true-to-life representation of Doppler shifts, realized in real-time.

MOTION ENGINE
SpinTracer features an advanced motion engine. Utilize it to sculpt mesmerizing circular motion patterns for your tracks, or infuse them with organic, swarm-like textures in random mode.

UP TO 8 AUDIO ORBS
SpinTracer enables the orchestration of up to eight sound objects, which can encircle or randomly swarm around the listeners head. The incoming stereo signal is mapped across the 8 sound orb objects.
