The Inner Sounds of Tape and iPhone w/ Field Kit, OP-1 field, PO-32 :Check up 2025-09-02 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, PO-32, and ‪@KOMAelektronik‬ Field Kit. Ambient electronica where drones and noise from a cassette player and iPhone overlap with lo-fi synth loops.

The iPhone and tape player are not connected to anything; instead, an electromagnetic pickup captures internal noise from both devices. The tape player emits drone sounds, while the iPhone produces glitch noise.

On the OP-1 field, synth pad loops are performed and layered with additional recorded takes.

The PO-32 plays rhythm patterns, processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MK II with delay and pitch-shift effects."

"It took me 6 weeks to develop the editor because I had to reverse engineer 3729 Program SYSEX bytes with no specifications; and implement 701 NRPN commands with partial specifications. It is the most complex MIDI implementation I’ve ever seen.

Inside Tom Oberheim’s Garage Workshop

video upload by Anthony Marinelli Music

See the full interview here, and the SEM Story here.

"Step inside the legendary garage workshop of Tom Oberheim—the birthplace of some of the most iconic sounds in music history. In this rare behind-the-scenes tour, Tom shares his latest creation: a custom-built computer he’s designing entirely from scratch—just because he loves the way it sounds.

Along the way, Tom opens up his treasure chest of innovations, showing us priceless prototypes from his storied career, including the original Maestro Phase Shifter prototype and circuit boards that paved the way for his groundbreaking synthesizers.

I’m joined by Rob Rosen (Rosen Sound) and Marcus Ryle (Alesis, Line 6) as we hear directly from Tom himself, walking through this sacred space filled with history, innovation, and pure sonic imagination.
👉 Don’t miss this intimate glimpse into the genius of a true pioneer."

Meet You At The Top

video upload by davidryle

"A two part piece. Both are pitch voltage quantization controlled from the ACL Sinfonion. I switch presets through the first part from preset 1 - 4 and in the second half I leave it on preset 5.

The Sinfonion chord section is sending pitch quantization to the Doepfer A-111-4 quad VCO and A-105-4 quad SSI filter. The mixer is the Corsynth T-Mixer. The Empress reverb in Ambient Swell green mode is used.

The opening voice is Channel 2 of the Sinfonion and is sent to the Dotcom Q206 with the Dove D502 in BP mode P1, then an SSL Serge Resonant EQ and finally the Strymon Blue Sky.

A counter voice is the Channel 3 quantizer to a pair of Synthetic Sound Labs TZ-VC Oscillators to the Oakley VC-SVF in BP mode. The audio is routed through a Moon 517S high pass filter to roll of the lower mid tones. I used an instance of Relab Development's LX480 classic Lexicon reverb. This same voice is used for the main melodic part in the second section.

The Channel 1 of the Sinfonion is to the bass voice which is the Dotcom Q169 Oscillator++ and Grove Audio G294A ladder filter.

The Sinfonion arpeggiator part is to the STG oscillator duet and the Dove D501 2069 filter. The signal is sent through the Modcan 73B dual delay. In the first section this voice is solo, but in the second section I added in a duplicated run of the MosLab 901/904A through a different envelope which is timed a bit more sparse and sent through the second section of the 73B delay.

Most of my time was spent mixing levels and changing the timing of the SSL Hagiwo Geo-Gruvn euclidean sequencer. The clock timing was controlled by row 3 of the Moon 563 trigger seq. I used two different memory presets on the Geo-Gruvn for each section. These timings were used for the gate controls to the SSL Octal VCA, CV-8 Breakout and AD/AR Expander. The eight channel vca handled four of the voices. Very cool array of modules.

I also sent and effort to control the timing of the STG Voltage Mini Store's timing with row 2 of the 563. The right VMS is used for the Root control to the Sinfonion. The faster moving left VMS is to the arpeggiator of the Sinfonion.

The Sinfonion is using various cv's from the Q960 step sequencers to affect the chord spread and note selections. Also an LFO is used to affect the pre-transpose of the chord section.

A convoluted patch using the Lower West Side Studios CGS88 triple switch, the Dove D900 sequencer and three voltage sources to send control voltage to the transpose on the Sinfonion. I used the Moon 564 trigger stage 1 to turn this on and off by hand when needed.

The final clangorous opening and ending patch voice was the Mutable Instruments Rings through the Behringer Bode Frequency Shifter clone and the Encore Frequency Shifter, and on through the Tip Top Z-DSP signal processor running Halls of Valhalla reverb (Niflheim preset). It was also the midway noise rush background sound where the sections changed. These were added later in Cubase and triggered by hand.

The sections were performed at once live to Cubase and video edited in Final Cut Pro."

HWJ Weekend Challenge - Heavy Construction

"Maschine+

Back after a brief hiatus.
I can't resist a bombastic sample challenge. :-)

All sounds are construction/machinery related except for the solo metallic hi-hats. :-P"

Beat w/ Prophet-10, Grandmother, CP-88 : Residual heat 2025-09-01 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with YAMAHA CP-88, ‪@MoogSynthesizers‬ Grandmother, and ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10. A track built as a beat and keyboard session.

The CP-88 is used to play piano, while the Prophet-10 performs synth pads with reverb applied through ‪@strymon‬ blueSky.
The Grandmother provides the bassline.

The rhythm is constructed in Ableton using Drum Rack loaded with kick and glitch samples ( https://store.atnr.net/downloads/data... ).

Other synth sounds come from ‪@SpectrasonicsVIDEO‬ Omnisphere."

Prismatic Sonic Forest Journey | 2 person free composing on Novation Summit & Eurorack modular

video upload by Blue Forest of Wires

"We play a set of improvised music on the Novation Summit and Eurorack modular synthesizer, following the creative impulse from moment to moment, connected in a flowing river of sound, with energy and note reflecting back and forth like light in a prism.

This set was played entirely in the quarter comma meantone tuning system, with 3 sharps and 2 flats."

SILHOUETTE SPORT plays the Garden

video upload by SILHOUETTE-SYNTHESIZERS

"Here are 4 short film-tunes of the audiovisual synthesizer SILHOUETTE SPORT generating timbres and sequences from motives in the garden.

The pictures filmed by its integrarted camera (in the back) serves the visual material - the synthesizer selects certain areas to transform greysacle data into timbre, at the same time 4 spots serve data for the sequencer.
