The polyrhythmic clocks and Euclidean sequencer of the Modor DR-2

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Euclidean sequencers are fun, but nowhere near as much fun as polyrhythmic clocks. Turns out every track on the Modor DR-2 has three clocks. Here I demonstrate some very tame examples sticking mainly to time signatures that won't disrupt the metabolism. Truly strange options abound, the vast majority of which could turn any simple pattern into a jazzified moosh worthy of an opening night of free-form interpretive dance at a modern art gallery.

If my examples here aren't too horrendous I may have another go at some more challenging. For example, mismatched time signatures partially sticjed back together with delicately timed flams and tuplets.

Also demoed here is the Euclidean sequencer. This is a more common feature of many drum machines. What makes this one a little different is that you can have up to 64 steps and hits in each track.

Kawai K1m Retro Digital Synth Euphoria Desktop Module

video upload by gstormelectro

"Audio + Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2024

Today I'm auditioning my original patches made for the Kawai K1m. A very limited digital synth from the 90s. And yet after digging into the architecture was able to harness some very powerful and unique features that are really, I mean, REALLY surprising. You'll hear some cheesy things, some pads, basses. And then there's fat poly action, swirling digital synth soundscapes. And alive motion things that are frankly astounding for such an unassuming little black box. Try to keep in mind when you hear the Mesmerized patch - the K1m has no sequencer nor arpeggiator. No freely assignable LFOs, just a fixed vibrato and that's it. And NO filter ha! Be sure to watch the whole video, lots of my favorites are on the 2nd half starting @3:19. My favorites are Head East, LA Sunset, Liquide and Mesmerized...which ones did you like?

"Dark, organic analog expressions.

Introducing auras:polyscape, the first in a new series of free instrument releases exploring the deep and cinematic sounds of the Polybrute 12 sourced from my custom patches and recorded through analog tube preamps to capture the glorious and imperfect nature of analog synthesis all wrapped up for the free Decent Sampler platform.

Featuring a brand-new UI design and editor, polyscape brings the expressive nature of these custom patches featuring 'motion recording' to life with new dynamics and expression controls (bound to CC1 and CC11, respectively) a re-designed velocity response mode toggle for more organic and realistic velocity performance, custom IR's captured directly from the Polybrute 12, and a hand selected A-B layer system that can be set or automated to explore the morphing and organic nature of each sound to bring every performance to life.

All for the low, low price of $0 and in a highly optimized format to offer big sounds in a little package.

I hope you enjoy this first release in the new 'auras' series, and I'm excited to share the next one soon...ish!"
