Ambient performance on Arturia Minifreak and Linnstrument


video upload by Fedir Tkachov Music

"A friend and colleague surprised me today by bringing his Minifreak to me to play for a week or so. I tried different engines and patch ideas, and eventually this simple idea emerged - I have the hold button on, and the cycling envelope opens up the filter, forming this beautiful fake arpeggio-sequence. On the Linnstrument side of things I use one of my own patches for alpha-beta version of OB-XF by Surge Synth team."

"The plan for today was to check up on my cello, but I got consumed by this."

"At this point I'm only curious how the things would end. Pressure is mounting, the world is an interesting place right now. Check out my second album 'No Overthinking' on bandcamp, if you're into that kind of thing."

Octatrack Hybrid 4X4 Performance Mixer by EZBOT


video upload by EZBOT

"This new template for the Octatrack Mk1/Mk2 includes classic techno effects and many experimental effects inspired by the Hyper FX template and Performance Mixer 3.0, though none of the effects are quite the same. The superpower of this template is the 4X4, which has multiple meanings. 64 performance effects in total and 4 tracks for audio processing. A total powerhouse!

First, four Free Flex Tracks are preassigned and ready for sampling. They are prepared on all parts across all banks and patterns. The flex tracks can and should be routed through the Hybrid 4X4 template's effects via the CUE output and back into the Octatrack inputs.

Second, the effects are set up in four blocks of four effect types. These effect types are consistent across all PARTS. The PARTS are named EARTH, AIR, FIRE, and WATER.

Download the Octatrack Hybrid 4X4 Performance Mixer (v1.1) here: one-time purchase https://ko-fi.com/s/82279613bb and here for ongoing support / hybrid-4x4-1-0-140477341"

Synthesizing with Moog | Lesson 1: Listening


video upload by Moog Music

Synthesizing with Moog

"'Synthesizing with Moog' invites you on an enlightening journey that answers a complex question: how exactly do synthesizers work? https://inmusic.to/bdhnff3m

In this first episode we go back into twentieth century history to understand the origins of electronic music, discussing concepts like modular design and voltage control to learn how they combined to make the synthesizer instrument we know and love today. We then pose some questions to try and understand how listening works. How is sound created in the air? What does a speaker do and how does a synthesizer control it? How does the ear work? And finally, how do our brains perceive the sound around us? Listening, after all, is the foundation of any musical practice.

Written, hosted, filmed, and produced by our team of electronic musical instrument experts, this new seven-part educational video series makes learning the fundamentals of synthesis accessible, engaging, and inspiring for anyone curious about science, music, and how the two worlds converge. We set out to create a series that brings you as much technical knowledge as it does entertainment and joy as you watch each episode!

We invite you to follow along with us at home with a printable worksheet corresponding to the contents of each weekly episode. https://inmusic.to/bdhnff3m
