Telmatronics Groovetube - comparing line-in/output signals

video upload by Telmatronics

"This video shows our completed machine, running second-version pcb.
It is essentially a 2-channel valve pre-amp with plasma tube in the current path. One channel is used for the synth voice, one for line-in.

We've got a good sound putting audio through a Wingie2 resonator before sending to the synth line-in. This boosts certain frequencies of the input, which puts some initial distortion onto the signal.
For these clips the input signal was split before the line-in, and routed into a separate mixer channel to the synth. Turning them up in turn lets you hear what the resonator is doing, and what the synth is."

"I'm releasing some new music on my bandcamp today, it's eleven alien soundscapes entirely made using the Korg opsix - one of my favourite synths when it comes to exploring sound design, and in this video I'd like to share some of the sound design ideas and techniques that sit at the heart of the album and give some context as to what this release actually is."

Sound Exploration: Moog Muse, Microcosm, Digitakt, and Chroma Console

video upload by Hologram Electronics

"This video explores a particular sonic palette we drummed up using the Moog Muse + Microcosm, Digitakt, and finally Chroma Console. The theme of these sounds is constant movement, aided by Microcosm's HOLD SAMPLER and Chroma Console's GESTURE recording feature.

The sound starts with a synthesizer, specifically a relatively simple patch built on the Moog Muse. We explore how feeding seemingly contextless musical material into Microcosm can be transformed into a new source of inspiration/musical accompaniment. The musical motifs created by Microcosm are then further altered using Chroma Console's GESTURE feature, a process that allows us to record and loop the interesting moments that result from turning knobs.

Hopefully, this video serves to demonstrate the type of role our pedals can play in both writing and performance contexts. Thanks for stopping by!"
