Donner Essential L1 Sound Exploration through the ARP

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"The Donner L1 is an SH-101 inspired synth that has a nicely creative ARP that took me on a journey through the sound possibilities. It's running through the Bopp & Steve reverb for a bit of ambience."

Elta TSC12 Touch Sensitive Controller | From Solar 42F drone ambient machine

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"The Elta TSC12 Touch Sensitive Controller may remind you of the SOLAR 42F Drone Ambient Machine, the multi VCO-desktop synth. Obviously, the TSC12 is only the touch panel which can control a a single voice with V/OCT and pressure, two voices with dual V/OCT, or a split cofiguration with voice and an arpeggiator or sequencer. The TSC12 supports easy note configuration for 12 keys where you can pick any note from any octave. It also supports default- and user scales. Even though the TSC12 is simple to use, it allows you to create really complex and expressive patches through human interaction, combined with sequenced or arped automation. Obviously it's great for playing live drones and ambient music, but you'll need to build your own SOLAR case layout."

Plasma Voice: An Electro and an Industrial noodle (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"As my grandmother used to advise: 'They can't shoot you for asking'. So I asked GamechangerAudio if they might send me a Plasma Voice module - and here it is.

It's easy to get started - just send it a trigger or a MIDI sequence (MIDI adaptor cable is included). From there you can get as complex as you like. In the first noodle the DB-01 is sending it a basic pattern and the Plasma Voice and DB-01 are doubled up playing it. Some synced LFO CV is switching voices in the bass and lead category. My daughter pulled a face when she heard me editing this and said it sounded 'loose', so I added some drums in the DAW. And then a few extra vocal samples for seasoning.

CV comes from the SPC Neptune 8-LFO module (currently in development). This is an early prototype but is just the thing for sending lots of synced modulation. The Plasma Voice loves being fed.

The second piece is pure Plasma Voice fed into the Nightverb. Quotes are from the original 1938 Halloween broadcast of The War of the Worlds. Again lots of CV tweaking the core sounds.

As usual the sound is not subsequently modified, EQed or processed in any way in the DAW (except the added drums in Noodle 1).

A Towel For Ms Winters

video upload by davidryle

"Large format modular synthesizer recording live in the studio.
The opening noise burst is the Dove WTF in noise mode along with the Sputnik WCRS to an Oakley SVF in band pass mode to the Modcan 73B dual Delay and Z-DSP with Halls of Valhalla reverb. Modulation to the 73B is from the STG Voltage Mini Stores for delay cv.
Noise cacophony part is a pair of STG Soundlabs Oscillators to the Oakley Sound Systems Ring Modulator to a Grove Audio LPF and a MegaOhm Audio MA20 in highpass mode. The signal is sent to a tape echo then compressor.
The echo drone bass is the dotcom Q169 vco to a Moon 517S LPF. The echo delay is a stereo Lexicon MX200.
The lower bass tone is the Woven Spirits (MI Plaits) from Synthetic Sound Labs. Straight in, no filter or envelope. The chords are a pair of dotcom Q206 vcos and a pair of Q106 vcos for four part harmony. The cv source is the dual Matrix from SSL in dorian modes. A pair of dotcom Q171 and Q172 Quantizers were used with gates from the Geo-Gruvn to time the S&H pitch voltages. Toward the latter half of the piece I was playing the quantizers to change modes from augmented to diminished and back again. The audio signals are sent through a LWSS Yusynth panning mixer then a pair of filters. The Dove D502 in low pass four pole and the Frequency Central System X in 24dB low pass mode. They are sent to the Empress Reverb pedal in blue sparkle mode.
All gate timings were provided by the SSL Hagiwo Geo-Gruvn sequencer and the STG Time Divider. Additional divider s are the Moon 564, Moon 563 and STG Trigger Mini Store.
The theme here was the well known stories of the femme-fatale-gone-awry roles Shelly Winters played in many famous movies. She was drowned a few times and it became an urban legend of sorts. A great actress that rarely was rewarded with much favor but did finally reach a celebrated status."

jumble coded

video upload by justin3am

"I was looking for some patch inspiration and decided to use a scanning mixer (Make Noise' Jumbler module) to re-route vocoder channels so the envelop of each band can be routed to the control inputs of other bands. I'm using the Peterlin as the carrier and an old drum loop as the program signal. The rungler out from the Peterlin rotates the channels on the Jumbler, warping the frequency response of the vocoder. I'm using an AnalogFX VXC-2220 for the vocoder here. The Disting mk4 is set to it's frequency shifter algoritm and Beads is doing random repeates."
