Every type of analog synthesis explained using the SAME 4 modules

video upload by mylarmelodies

"In this tutorial I'll use this little cluster of 4 Shakmat modules to explain and demonstrate every type of analogue synthesis, by patching them differently. I'll explain what you need to follow along, the key differences between FM Synthesis types (Expo, Linear, Thru-Zero), Phase Modulation, Ring Modulation, Amplitude Modulation, Waveshaping, Additive and Subtractive. We'll see how they are in isolation and start to see the possibilities when you combine these methods, as well as discuss ideas and applications as we go along.

Thanks to sponsors Shakmat for being into this idea, and whose analogue range exemplify that it's 'how you patch it'. Modular is not necessarily about one shiny module that does it all, but about having things you can combine to make the same functionality as the shiny thing!"

Midweek MIDIPan Meditation, no commentary : "Iceberg Atmosphere" #MIDIPanMarch

video upload by MIDI IN

"The full title of the field recording used here is 'Iceberg Atmosphere - Water slapping against icebergs. Kittiwakes calling in distance'. Which sounds cold, so I'm grateful to the Natural History Unit's Mike Potts for going there so that I didn't have to.
Using the audio version of the MIDIPan with a metallic handpan sound. Other instruments you can hear are guitar, choir and various orchestral percussion.

The second #MIDIPanMarch video. I hope this inspires you to make some music.

Emotional Waste - ambient electronica - Vermona Perfourmer, Moog Muse, Polybrute12, Summit & Piano

video upload by copenhagennoiselab

"I was connecting stuff in my temporary home office studio setup yesterday and had brought out my Vermona Perfourmer (mk1) from storage. So while setting it up I recorded a simple 4 bar thing as midi and let it drive the Perfourmer synthesizer. I had it running for a few hours while I was connecting midi and audio for the other synths I have in the home office and I never got bored of it. So today I decided to quickly add some piano and other synths to it to see if I could make it into something more... I dunno if the last part was succesful though, but at least I got it documented...

The main synth is the Vermona Perfourmer playing a chord structure thing. The second synth that appears is a lead from the Expressive E Osmose followed by a bass from the Novation Summit and another soft lead from the Moog Muse. Then a chord with some morphee filtering from the Arturia Polybrute 12 before the Piano comes in. (Just another piano improvisation more or less). At the end I start to mess up the Vermona thing and I also added a Drummer track in Apple Logic Pro."

minimalism for modular #6: melodic expansion/contraction with pamela

"You don’t need a fancy sequencer to do minimalist-style additive sequencing. Here’s a trick that involves a module that’s in a lot of people’s racks: Pamela’s New Workout.
Also announcing my new album – 'pianola,' by 'small changes' (my artist name). It’s a collection of minimalist pieces produced on the modular, all featuring piano multisamples on the Disting EX. It’s now available on Bandcamp:"
