Evolving Riddle-4

video upload by Memetune Studio

"Yesterday a new part of the riddle arrived in the post - a beautiful Ensoniq SD1!

The SD1 is a Transwave Rompler workstation from 1990

Did you know that Ensoniq founder Bob Yannes invented the Rompler as we know it (and also the SID chip)? The very first one was called the ESQ1 and came out in 1986, the year before the Roland D50, and then all the other ones from Korg, Yamaha, Kawai, Emu, Alesis, and Kurzweil, each quickly developing their own digital rom chips. Actually Bob used single cycle waveforms stored in rom, but the basic structure and concept of the ESQ1 is what became the rompler. It had 3 simple rom-based VCOs that could be layered and sent through an analog filter. It is a wonderful, epoch defining synth - totally underrated IMO

It was enhanced and repackaged as the SQ80 in 1988 as a fully realised Rompler with more memory for the read-only samples

Their follow up was the VFX which added Transwave synthesis - a bit like the PPG wavetable idea where you can move through the waveform and modulate it. However the VFX had some reliability issues and was replaced a year later by the SD1 which also added a sequencer, and more voices and memory

And this is what we have here - mixed in with the other synths - Quadrasynth, TG33, Waldorf Microwave2 and the Roland JV1080

The reverbs are the Lexicon 224X and the Quantum Room Simulator

There is one part of the riddle left to make - I'll try and work on it tomorrow. Then I will release them all as an album - 'Evolving Riddles' by Benge 😀"

PeacockMedia Announcement of e-ther 'Advance', plus re-recording of a track using the new instrument

video upload by MIDI IN

"in which I talk about the features of the new e-ther, including quantisation, its own screen with selection of options on the device, display of the nearest note. As per the original e-ther it has MIDI out over USB or TRS (adaptable to traditional 5-pin DIN) and audio with selectable waveform.

0:00 Intro and announcement
0:25 quantisation
1:06 screen and on-device menu system
1:23 compatibility with classic e-ther - continuous mode
1:55 demo of quantisation to chromatic scale
2:42 display of nearest or target note
3:09 range
3:27 vibrato
3:45 scales / modes

Wind Beneath My Wings - cover played on ELKA X705 organ

video upload by adamstan84

"Wind Beneath My Wings"
music: Jeff Silbar
lyrics: Larry Henley

"Today I finally recorded a song that I've been lately playing a lot on my ELKA. Actually I heard this song for the first time in the Sonata Arctica version, and my version is kind of mix between that and Bette Midler's most popular version. I hope you enjoy it despite some technical flaws - mostly the noise and distortion - caused partially by the tape echo, and partially by the instrument itself still having some minor issues."

Ruina Versio x BIA distortion performance on small NE case by POB

video upload by Noise Engineering and Patrick POB OBrien

"POB takes us on a distortion journey into ruin with this dark and cinematic performance with Noise Engineering modules. Patch inspired by my recent firmware video for Librae Legio. Librae is mostly a set-and-forget module for me, and I hardly ever use the CV inputs. I showed an example on the short video by throwing a gate signal into the Ceiling input, and the result was this pumping effect that occurs throughout the whole mix. Just left it activated. I'm really glad that CV input put the hook I needed.

Notes:
0:00 BIA into Ruina Versio
1:29 Introducing Debel Iteritas Alia with wide open attack, using Quantus Trajecta to create a more vocally shaped envelope in place of its own envelope.
2:13 Introducing Sinc Legio, pitched by Opp Ned's arepeggios, then distorting it through Roucha Legio.
3:07 Introducing Virt Iter Legio as the wobbly bassline using Mimetic Digitwolis' randomizing melody, being switched at times by Muta Jovis.
5:07 Switching the bypass on Roucha's filter while adjusting its frequency.
9:35 Using Desmodus Versio's built-in LFO to affect its reverb tail.
12:55 MOAR Distortion on the BIA using Ruina Versio, toggling in and out of gated Smoosh.
14:08 Using Desmodus Versio's Tone controls to filter the reverb tail.

Clocked by Horologic Solum. Mixed on Xer Dualis, then sent through Librae Legio with its Ceiling being CV-controlled by an LFO from Pons Asinorum.

Whimsical Raps: Atrium

video upload by Whimsical Raps

"Atrium is a new instrument, where playful gestures meet dynamic systems.

new ways to compose
 new ways to express
  new ways to play

https://atrium.whimsicalraps.com/

five voices of analogue synthesis, controlled and modulated polytimbrally. we’ve taken ideas from our decade of modular exploration, and rethought how we reach into polyphony.

each voice is shaped by its harmonic energy while three core timbre modes push into richer territory. from simple suboctave and noise waves, through frequency modulation, and landing in formant synthesis reimagined. all squeezed through a lowpass/gate combination, providing balance and occasionally emphasis.

no digital multi-effects here, just spectres in the machine. a novel configuration of three filters, two delays, and feedback. front and almost centre — this resonant body is meant to be played. sequenceable, modulatable, while feeding back not just sound, but shape for unfolding cybernetics.

and to modulate! everything mappable to everything else, tactile input extended on the fly, mapping as a performance in itself. sources are dynamically phased across voices, and stretched in relative duration. gestures captured into five recorders, extending play rather than overriding it, all twisted in time at your whim.

Atrium is deeply learnable, and for those moments of quick change, instantly recallable. extensible with usb and midi and cv input.

a series of improvisations, exploring but a few edges of this new instrument.

https://loess-labs.net/inst/atmega/

"Fully open source, build your own! Webpage is a work in progress. Might make a PCB at some point but no promises.

Also just to be clear the intro and outro parts use external fx to varying degrees. The middle part where I'm talking is the 100% dry sound.
