5:30 - Live Set

"In dem Video erzähle ich ein bisschen über meine Vorliebe für Modular-Synthesizer, warum ich sie mag und wie ich live spiele. Außerdem teile ich, was ich sonst so ausprobiert habe, welche Vorteile es hat, live aufzutreten und welche Nachteile es mit sich bringen kann, wenn man statt als DJ mit Equipment auftritt. Im Anschluss folgt ein improvisiertes Live-Set im Genre-Bereich Future Acid Post Techno. Alles ist etwas avantgardistisch unterlegt und wird mit passenden Videos ergänzt, um die Atmosphäre zu verstärken, damit ihr nicht nur das helle, weiße Studio seht. Ich freue mich über Kommentare und Feedback. Danke für eure Zeit, und ich hoffe, es hat euch gefallen."

I also share what else I've tried, the advantages of playing live and the disadvantages of playing with equipment instead of DJing. This is followed by an improvised live set in the Future Acid Post Techno genre. Everything has a slightly avant-garde feel and is complemented by suitable videos to enhance the atmosphere so that you don't just see the bright, white studio.

press release follows:

Supercritical Synthesizers have just released the first firmware update for the Redshift 6 and it’s available at our website.

The Firmware Update 1.1 brings USB MIDI, new modulation destinations such as: Character, Detune, envelope Attack, Decay, Sustain & Release and also new presets from Kebu.

VERSION 1.1

Added
• USB MIDI
• New modulation destinations: Character, Detune, envelope Attack, Decay, Sustain & Release
• New presets by Kebu

Improved
• LFO Trigger parameter is now named Sync

Fixed
• Fix reversed visualizations of LFO Log vs. RevLog waveforms
• Dual Osc Noise level is now affected by DCO env in para mode, and by gain scaling related to character and drive,
as it should be. This may affect the noise level in some presets.
• MIDI notes now stop when:
- All Notes Off CC123 is received
- MIDI channel setting is changed
- MIDI Panic is pressed from front panel
• Repeatedly pressing MIDI Panic no longer crashes the synth
• On fast envelope decays, the envelope no longer gets stuck to its previous sustain value, when sustain level is changed
or modulated
• Fix potential loss of autosave or presets
• Minor visual fixes

The next Redshift 6 firmware update is already in beta testing and is expected to be released in March.

The noise function does not have any absolute defining formula, but is defined as a function with characteristics that the distribution of output values ​​must satisfy.
