285t Tiptop Audio & Buchla

video upload by Stazma

"Today we dive into the last born of the 200t serie, the Frequency Shifter & Balanced Modulator Model 285t. I've never had a frequency shifter in hardware before (I use the Ableton one quite a bit tho) so it was a bit of challenge to get into it but I found a great article that helped me a bit on Signal / Perfect Circuit, go check it out: https://www.perfectcircuit.com/signal...

Many crazy weird stuff but also some very subbtle and nicce sounding stereo effect.

Have fun!!!"

Spectral Ratcheting With The ReSynthesizer | Make Noise

"Spectraphon Linear Array Modulation!! Get the firmware here: https://www.makenoisemusic.com/firmware/

Last time we created several Arrays from the same sonic matter but with different modulations during their creation, then heard the difference as we modulated the various Arrays with the same modulator. This time let’s flip that around, we’ll create a single Array and hear how it sounds when we alter the modulator. By inscribing a simple rhythm into our Array we can use Slide modulation to evoke something along the lines of classic 'ratcheting.'

Tiptop Audios 285t Eurorack Format Buchla Module Makes Its Official Release

via Tiptop Audio

"Another legend from 1971 is making a comeback today! The Buchla and Tiptop Audio Model 285t Frequency Shifter is now shipping. Priced at $285, the module is available for pre-order through our dealers and will begin shipping shortly.

The theory of shifting frequencies using analog multipliers was first invented in the early 1900s. However, in 1971, Don Buchla took this concept and explored how it could interact with the audio signals of his modular synthesizer. By combining it with a balanced modulator into a single module, he likely created one of the world's first analog audio effect processor modules."

You can find demos of the 285t in previous posts here, including a couple that went up today. As always, check with the dealers on the right for availability.

Using the Circuit Mono Station as a glithcy groove box

"It's been a while since I brought out the Novation Circuit Rhythm for a jam, but I wanted to see if a bit of patch flipping abuse could make it a pseude-groove box. Added the Zoom MS-70CDR and Templo Devices Pocket Compressor for good measure!"

The (Not) Obsolete Musician

video upload by Joseph McGinty

"Paula Barouh and Joe McGinty spent a Sunday morning at This Museum Is (Not) Obsolete in Ramsgate, UK, creating spontaneous compositions, utilizing Paula's amazing voice and an eclectic assortment of instruments in the museum's collection. These pieces will be edited down for a future release. The museum is open to the public on weekends, but you can also book private recording sessions. Special thanks to Sam and Johnny for tech assistance.

Barouh-McGinty


Playlist:

1. Barouh-McGinty: "Dry Love"

Barouh-McGinty is the international collaboration between Chilean singer Paula Barouh and NYC keyboardist Joe McGinty. "Dry Love" is their first release. The song was improvised at McGinty's vintage keyboard studio, Carousel Recording, in Brooklyn, NY, with further editing and overdubbing by McGinty. Video editing and effects by Gal @gelischile.
The loop is a combination of the "Glitchedelica" disc on the Panoptigon and the Sequential Tempest drum machine. Bass is the Moog Subsequent 37. Other instruments: Wurlitzer Electric Piano, Casio MT-400V, Mellotron M4000D, Therevox.
The duo met at McGinty's piano bar, Sid Gold's Request Room. Impressed by Barouh's singing and improvisational skills, McGinty invited her to his studio to create an extemporaneous composition. Though the percussion loop was prepared in advance, neither knew what the other was going to do until recording started. This song is the result of their second improvisation. The first, 'NYC Junkie' will be released soon.

2. Barouh–McGinty: NYC Junkie

The second release from Barouh–McGinty:NYC Junkie. Vocals: Paula Barouh
Keyboards, Production: Joe McGinty
Video edited by Paula Barouh and Dave Fasano.
Like their first release, NYC Junkie was improvised in Joe McGinty's studio in Brooklyn. Unlike their first release, there are no overdubs or edits. What you hear and see is what was created in the moment. Paula had no idea what the music would sound like, and McGinty had no idea where Paula would go vocally.
Instruments used: Quilter Labs Panoptigan 'Mod Rock' disc, Dave Smith/Oberheim OB-6, Moog Subsequent 37. Looper: Audio Damage Enso.
