Complex System

video upload by Memetune Studio

"I was wanting a way of setting up an interactive environment to record sounds from some modular systems which could be the basis for some improvised performance based sound explorations

I figured that if I set up some cybersynth patches (ie patches that are evolving by themselves in some way, or are at least dynamically varied over time) and could record some long stereo samples (loops) that could be manipulated live, this might be an interesting thing to do

It occurred to me that the Octatrack, which I got a few years ago and use as a granulating sample mangler, might be perfect to pair with the modulars in this way

The thing about the Octatrack is that it is so unbelievably deep and sophisticated that it can be very difficult to set things up on. I see it as a truly Complex System (AI Overview definition: Complex systems are characterized by numerous interacting parts and emergent behaviors that are not readily predictable from the individual components) and the user manual is utterly hopeless beyond a very basic overview

With the Octatrack you have to basically tell it what you want to do for any given situation. You create a personalised environment inside it and then work within the limitations you set yourself. You have to think of a setup that you want to create, then you build it for yourself using all the different components. In other words, it's not a preset environment that does a few specific things, you have to decide what you want then make it yourself

So I thought it would be useful to have 4 stereo 'Tape Machines' that can be manipulated in real time, with control over the following in each: Pitch, Playback Speed (Timestretch), Direction (forward / reverse) basic Filtering (bandpass) and Delay with feedback. All the things you might find in a Musique Concrete studio in the 1950s (with the addition of granular timetretching)

I might do a more detailed breakdown of the Octatrack patch in the future, but I wanted to live with this setup for a while and make sure it does everything I want it to do in the most efficient way first

This is my first experiment with it, using the Buchla 200. There are two stereo outs from the Buchla - two independent patches running concurrently - going into the Octatrack's dual stereo inputs. These are then fed into the four "tape machines" I created in the Octatrack, which mixes them into one stereo output along with the two live feeds from the Buchla (so what you are hearing is a live mix of the Buchla's 2 voices plus 4 tape loops (30 seconds each) recorded as we go along from the Buchla. As I said, its a complex system 😁"

Buchla 200e Program Switch

"Initially, a straightforward sequence runs without any preset morphing or remote program changes.

After we heard the sequence a bit I connect the trigger outs of the 252e to the 225e Program Manager. At this point, you’ll hear the two VCOs begin to switch through their stored presets in sync with the trigger pulses — while the rest of the system remains unaffected, as only the VCOs are assigned to respond to remote program changes.

I’ll continue refining this setup with more modules enabled for remote control, and dial in more purpose-fit sounds to push this concept further.

"Short little clip that I captured just to remember a track idea -- I figured I'd upload a few of these things to keep them all in one place, just for fun."

PlantsSystem-ShatterProof

video upload by plantssystem

"PlantsSystem presents ShatterProof, a meticulously crafted piece produced entirely using the tracker software Renoise. Built with an acute attention to structure and texture, the track subtly nods to YMO while reinterpreting that legacy through a distinctly contemporary lens.

From its quiet opening to an increasingly intricate development, the composition draws the listener inward, inviting close attention to the placement and movement of each sound. Beneath the precision of its programming lies a refined sense of aesthetic and tension—hallmarks of PlantsSystem’s quietly compelling sonic identity.

5/31-6/3/25 multitrack test of Roland TR-909 internal clock

video upload by Cfpp0

"5/31-6/3/25 Roland TR-909 + General Radio 1564-A + ElectroComp EML 200 + Ace Tone MP-4 + DeltaLab Effectron II + Peavey DDL-3 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

This video started out as a quick test of a black General Radio 1564-A Sound and Vibration Analyzer, with the 1564-A processing the Roland TR-909 low tom. The 1564-A is kind of crusty, but it works. Then that video prompted a test to see if the Roland TR-909 internal clock is solid. It is very solid; there are about five different takes layered in this video, and they’re all using the 909 internal clock. The kick, clap, rim shot, hats, ride, low tom and high tom are all used, with the low tom getting either all pass processed or 1/3 octave processed. The rim shot also gets processed towards the end. And the high wood block sound is the 1564-A getting pinged by the 909 trigger output (which is set by a rim shot pattern). The clap and the high tom are processed by the Ace Tone MP-4 preamps and spring reverb. The Alesis MIDIVERB II is used heavily for reverbs, including some absurd reversed delays. The Peavey DDL-3 and the DeltaLab Effectron II are used for delays throughout the video. The drones are two ElectroComp EML 200 synthesizers."
