The Superer Jupiter // Roland MKS80 with the Retroaktiv MPG8x

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Already ducking for cover! The Roland MKS-80 Super Jupiter is often labelled as an enhanced Jupiter 8 in a box - even Vintage Synth Explorer calls it something like that. Here I look at it along with the Retroaktiv Super Controller.. which really does feel like it brings the instrument up to date and makes it a whole lot easier to use. Essentially if you're thinking of buying an MKS80 or if you've got one you never really use... GET ONE OF THESE. They're cheaper than the original MPG80 controllers, and blow them out of the water as far as functionality is concerned."

John Chowning, Computer Music, DX7 & FM Discovery

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

"It was an honor for me to interview John Chowning who is directly responsible for the way we create music today in every genre! His visionary ideas have profoundly shaped contemporary music creation, including the integration of computers, AI, digital synthesis, sound sharing, and surround sound.

He stands as a monumental figure in 21st-century music, renowned for his pioneering contributions as a composer, musician, and educator. As the founding director of the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University, Chowning made groundbreaking strides in the field. His historic discovery of FM synthesis not only became one of Stanford’s most valuable patents but also paved the way for Yamaha’s DX7 synthesizer through their licensing of FM sound synthesis technology.

Another important aspect of Chowning's work is the simulated motion of sound through physical space creating an illusion of a continuous 360-degree space using only four speakers. John’s boundless curiosity and groundbreaking achievements have established him as a bright shining beacon of inspiration for musicians everywhere.

Playing the Summit - Carlo Mezzanotte

"A few sounds I've programmed on the Novation Summit, 16-voice polyphonic bi-timbral synthesizer with three FPGA ('Oxford') oscillators per voice, dual analog filter, FM, RM, sync, overdrive, digital effects, and a large modulation matrix.

All original sounds, mostly single patches, plus a few multis.

Qualche suono programmato sul Novation Summit, synth polifonico bi-timbrico a 16 voci con 3 oscillatori FPGA ("Oxford") per voce, doppio filtro analogico, FM, ring mod, sync, overdrive, effetti digitali, e una estesa matrice di modulazione. Tutti suoni originali, in maggioranza singoli, più qualche multi."

Introducing Sound Blocks — A playground for making music

The Story Behind Sound Blocks — A playground for composing music

Currently on Kickstarter

"What is Sound Blocks?

Sound Blocks is a groundbreaking music composition app for Mac and Windows. You simply place blocks of sound anywhere on the grid, connect them together and play!

It's a beautifully animated experience that really brings out the visual character of sounds — (kind of like synesthesia).

You can add 'Control Blocks' to your sequence that act as modifiers for speed, time, randomization and more. Using these tools, you can create intricate musical machines that loop in interesting ways.

It's a remarkably simple new workflow that removes the obstacles and steep learning curves commonly associated with conventional music production software — and by the nature of its distinct design, lets you do things that you might never think doing of with other music apps.

Who is it for? Can I use it if I'm not a musician?

Sound Blocks is for anyone who wants to dive into music production, whether you're a child, non-musician, gamer or a professional music producer — it has something for everyone. The workflow is super intuitive and playful, and you can learn to use it in about 10 seconds — no prior music experience needed.

What does it offer for skilled musicians and producers?

Sound Blocks will give you a completely new workflow to experiment and create the kind of music you might otherwise never make using a conventional DAW. The non-linear sequencing approach, alongside features like Control Blocks and asynchronous loops will open new creative avenues for some serious artistic exploration. The more funding our Kickstarter project raises, the more advanced features we'll be able to add, such as the ability to add your own samples, crazy effects pedals and much much more. We will be sharing a detailed development roadmap soon."

Thank you for watching.
My name is Meska of the statik collective . I've been making mostly "dark and expérimental" music for more than ten years now, i'v learn so much online, now it's time for me to share my knoledge, my exploration and this channel is a place to talk about the tools, sound design and techniques to make music with.

You can stream my albums and EPs at https://statikwave.bandcamp.com/
