Serge Medusa / Subharmonic Oscillator Impressions

video upload by Serge Modular | Random*Source

"Medusa combines two of Serge's latest inventions - the Subharmonic Oscillator and the new VCFX filter - both designed by Serge in 2023 - to carry you to unchartered sonic territories. The Subharmonic Oscillator comprises 7 voices (pulse waves), each voice providing pulse width modulation or subharmonic division as well as 1V/Octave inputs and an individual output. The precision of these voices (with excellent 1V/Oct tracking and temperature stability) in combination with a global Spread control and various FM inputs opens up an enormous sonic range from massive unisono sounds to dissonant, orchestra-style textures. Here a couple of patches using Medusa as sound source with Edelweiss III and sometimes a MicroFreak as keyboard and/or an SEQ8 sequencer.

Patches:

00:00 Intro / Heart of Darkness
03:30 Time to Move
05:06 Let's Go Up
05:36 String Me Up
07:59 Black Hawk
08:32 World War Z
14:31 Illusory Lightness
15:53 Tsahal and Farther South
19:32 Approaching Panama
20:13 Reliving the Future
21:25 End of Days"

Dr. Endo explores LIVEN Ambient Ø - #4

video upload by SONICWARE

"LIVEN Ambient Ø | Soundscape Synthesizer
https://sonicware.jp/pages/liven-ambient

Chris Lody (@ChrisLodyMusic) , a sound wizard I genuinely trust, created an amazing sound of the Indian instrument, Tanpura. It was so beautiful that I had to jam with it today. I thought the tanpura sound would also fit perfectly with the world of LIVEN Ambient Ø.

In the second half, I got creative by grouping every 4 steps and making the sequences trigger randomly.

Yu Endo


サウンド魔術師のChris Lody (@ChrisLodyMusic) がインドの楽器タンプーラのサウンドを作ってくれて、それがとても素敵で、ChrisのタンプーラサウンドとLIVEN Ambient Øの世界観が良い感じにマリアージュするんじゃないかとジャムってみました。

後半では、4ステップ毎にグルーピングして、そのグループのシーケンスがランダムに発動するよう工夫しています。

Ambient Sound Design: Sumu's 64-Channel Pulses Module

video upload by Madrona Labs

"This quick exploration by Sheryar shows how to bring depth and movement to ambient sounds using Sumu's 64 channels of rhythmic modulation via it's Pulses module. Perfect for Sumu newcomers or sound designers looking to expand their toolkit.

We'll cover:

Setting up the Pulses module
Modulating Partials and Space
Shaping envelopes for playhead behavior
Using the dual rhythm generators
Tweaking width and center controls to target specific partials"

First experiment with PolyNodes - instrument.

"PolyNodes extracts and analyzes the temporal properties of the input sound and maps them in a 3D space to create a visible geometric structure.

3D t-rex drawn on an analogue oscilloscope 🦖

video upload by Hexial

Curious if what we are hearing is the drawing or modulating the drawing per the video description:

"A 3D animated t-rex drawn on an analogue oscilloscope from 1982, with its redraw frequency modulated by MIDI from ‪@Ableton‬ Live. The amplitude of the audio left & right signals move the X/Y position of the beam which cycles through the vertices of the 3D mesh hundreds/thousands of times a second."

Update via Hexial: "The audio is creating the entire drawing you're seeing, moving the beam across the screen very quickly. The audio frequency is the number of times it's redrawing it per second."

Oscilloscope test #2 ft. Serum

video upload by Hexial

"I'm using 2 synths (Serum) routed into the X and Y axis of the beam, changing pitch/effects with sine waves and saw waves.

Beware, if you listen to it on headphones it might make your brain go weird because it's panned hard left & right 🫠👌"
