EaganMatrix Micro - Using it with MPE Controllers & iConnectivity MIO

video upload by EaganMatrix Programming

"Here's a short demo of playing the EaganMatrix Micro with MPE controllers (Continuum, Linnstrument, Osmose, Hexboard and Electra One MK2 acting as a standard EaganMatrix Midi Overlay controller running my new EL1 Microtuning app for EaganMatrix instruments I will release soon).

Although the EaganMatrix Micro (the least expensive EaganMatrix sound engine-based product) was originally intended for use with the WARBL wind controller using CME WIDI Bluetooth wireless Midi Host, With the right USB Midi Host (here iConnectivity MIO which is the one I find always works best) you can play/control the Micro with any MPE controller onMPE channels up to your preset's max polyphony (or standard controller on channel 1)."

Explore the modular’s re-patching power

video upload by Monotrail Tech Talk

"With a modular you have full control over your signal path. This means you can combine modules and functions like oscillators, VCAs, and modulation sources in different ways, again and again. In this video I show how the ingredients for a ‘classic’ 2 oscillator voice can be expanded, and used to create a variety of interesting ‘simple’ dual voice setups."

WISP - Granular Ambient Modular #17 // Instruo Arbhar, Qu-Bit Mojave, Rhodes

video upload by David Falcon

"noun /wɪsp/
a delicate, thin, and sometimes twisting piece or line of something

Me apetecía algo relajante así que hice una pieza para mí mismo. La idea parte sampleando en el @instruo Arbhar: Rhodes, Piano, Vibráfono, Acordeón, Synth bass y Cuerdas. En mi experiencia, este módulo funciona mejor cuando se samplean frases para luego recorrerlas con su motor en lugar de notas individuales. Lleva a sorpresas y texturas interesantes. En esta jam solo utilicé el vibráfono y el rhodes.

La textura aguda, parecida a una voz, soy yo mismo cantando al micro del @QuBitElectronix Mojave y fijando el búfer. Fui editando el módulo hasta hacerlo funcionar en el tema. La línea de bajo nace en el @MoogSynthesizers Subarmonicon y lo envié al @ShakmatModular Dual Dagger para controlar la dinámica.
En el @WeAreElektron Analog Four añado un Kick, Hi-Hat y dos líneas simples en las frecuencias agudas. También improviso con el Nord con un sonido Rhodes en algunas partes a tiempo real (no he podido montar el vídeo que he hecho en el móvil de esta parte por algun motivo en Davinci Resolve)

Gracias por estar al otro lado!

(eng)
I was in the mood for a relaxing piece so I made one for myself! It started by sampling some new sounds into Arbhar. Rhodes, Piano, Vibraphone, Accordion, Synth bass and Strings. In my experience this module works best when sampling phrases to then sweep around with its engine instead of single notes. It leads to more happy accidents and interesting textures. In this jam only the vibraphone and some rhodes was used.

The high texture vocal-like sound is myself singing into Mojave and locking the buffer. I tweaked the module until I found something that worked. It was mixed with a bass line in the subharmonicon and sent to the Dual Dagger to control the dynamics of the song.
Lastly the Analog Four is adding Kick, Hi-Hat and two simple lines on top. I also improvise with a Nord Rhodes sound on top in some of the parts."

Joranalogue Audio Design MORPH 4 / source of macro cv? yes!

video upload by BRiES

"MORPH 4 can be used to generate voltages! Say what? Yes, it's a feature that had escaped my attetion until a few weeks ago when Joran pointed out the 5V normal to the first signal input on the module.
In this video I explain and demonstrate the feature and I finalise a patch."
