Ambient w/ Moog One, Reface DX, SPECULAR TEMPUS | Germination 2025-03-01
video upload by atnr
"A piece created using the @MoogSynthesizers Moog One and YAMAHA Reface DX. Modal drone sounds provide the backdrop for FM synth phrases.
On the Moog One, I perform harmonies. After recording, I automate the Auto Filter's Cutoff in Ableton Live.
The Reface DX plays phrases via MIDI while manipulating the Feedback parameter to alter its timbre. Additionally, its output is processed through @gfisys SPECULAR TEMPUS to apply deep reverb."
FABuary week 4 Live Stream - Synth bag and Performance case making from myVolts studios from IG Live
video upload by myVolts
"Let myVolts tell you a little bit about their prototyping methods in their FABuary maker month.
We'll make a synth bag/sonic altar and a performance case with an Eurorack component.
Looking at making a USB-C powerboard to power the unit and some passive add-ons like clocks, mults /etc. to keep it interesting."

Ukraine Meditation

"A meditation on Ukraine's National Anthem 'Ukraine Has Not Yet Perished'"
Embrace of nothing | Sequential Prophet 10, Prophet 12, Nord Drum 2, and Toraiz Squid downtempo

"I finally scanned in over 7700 photos of my parents and their lives. It was so nice to see them again, happy, exploring. Somewhere in there it all changed, but they still looked and seemed happy. So many times I'd see a photo and just stare at it for a few minutes, as though I'd been hit by something. Like seeing them arrive at their first motel on their honeymoon. Or seeing photos from the 70s and then the 00s when they went to the same cabin. It was clearly a world that just hung so close to me, but I never saw it. By the time I could get to know them in this capacity - they were both gone.
Now that I have my studio back - I can finally start writing music again. I pulled out the Cirklon. As you can see, I didn't use the Cirklon here. My goodness that thing just antagonizes me at every turn. I know I need to give it more time, but after two days using it, I put it away and within an hour, I had something I was enjoying making and playing.

"The smoothness of the gradient affects artifacts.
If the change in value is not smooth, that is, if there is a sudden change in value, a characteristic quirk will appear.
I used SEQUENTIAL Prophet-5 and AKAI Professional MPC-2000.
Visual is MotionDive2 and TouchVIZ."
Bree6 Custom Factory Patches by SYNTH_NYC
via SYNTH_NYC
"GS Music commissioned me to create 64 Custom Factory Presets for their new discreet analog polyphonic synthesizer, the Bree6.
Those presets are available for free as a factory bank coming up with the synth.
You can listen to them in high resolution (24bit 96kHz PCM WAV masters, FLAC encoded) on my site (optimized for Chrome on MacOS and Windows).
All presets have PB, MW, AT/PAT and Velocity configured, except the last one which has MPE configured additionally (Bree6 should be in MPE mode for this one) for the best possible expressivity.
It's impossible to make a bad patch with the Bree6! With or without subtractive synthesis knowledge, you can make a great sounding patch in no time. The Bree6 is the 2nd discreet analog polyphonic synthesizer released by GS Music (following the e7), it has those notable improvements:
- Poly Aftertouch (it responds to Channel AT as well without having to change anything on the synth, and MPE by configuration change)
- Detune (voice detune)
- Poly Stereo (hard panning per voice on L/R channels), Poly ('center' on both L/R channels) output modes
- Larger display
- Only 1 'Shift' parameter (the Sub Oscillator On/Off feature)
- Very few 'Menu' parameters (only the MW, Velocity, AT/PAT and MPE sources / targets / amounts in the Control Menu; and Transpose, PB Range, Preset Level, Unison Interval in the Preset Menu), so it's really WYSIWYH (What You See Is What You Hear).
It was a pleasure crafting those 64 FREE Custom Factory Presets for the Bree6, I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them and that they will bring value and inspiration to yours music."

Introducing D2MS - The Augmented Drumming Sandbox For Monome Norns

D2MS Tutorials
video uploads by D2MS Script


Details follow:
"D2MS (Drums 2 Midi Synths, Samplers, Sequencers…Something) is an Augmented Drumming script for the Monome Norns platform.
Born of an online collaboration between two Lines Forum (https://llllllll.co/) users phillwilson (MyOneManBand) and Illges.
D2MS is a sandbox environment for taking the velocity and gestural data from regular drum triggers, drum pads and e-drums. It allows drummers to use their regular playing to drive sequences of notes and execute a huge range of performance altering functions.
D2MS was built from the ground up with improvisation in mind, so there are “quick creation” features all over it, to randomise and remix midi data live.
Users can play a 'full band' performance from behind the drums and all editing and set design can be handled through a custom layout on the Norns Grid interface.
Key Features
· Use up to 16 inputs (incoming midi notes from pads, triggers etc)
· Each input can control up to 5 machine layers (MIDI note driving units) and 5 Trig Layers (utilities that modify a performance)
· Over 10 Machine types including;
Basic –For playing melodies
Riff – Ideal for bass-lines
Chord – Great for pads
Fixed – For non-chromatic samples and percussion
Strum – A semi-manual arpeggios
Stack – A rotating chord pack
…And many more
· Over 12 Trig Types including;
Conductor – To move between patterns and change instruments
Direction – To change playback order
Fill - To randomize note sequences
CC – To turn things such as Midi FX on and off dynamically
Gears – To create cascades of movement
…And many more

"It was the first day that I received this pro 3 but wanna try to produce something. But I must admit that I used a factory preset LOL
About the lead melody, I forgot where does it come from, maybe a movie or a game, I really have forgotten that, I'm sorry"
