Dirtywave M8 and Torso S-4 Jam 260117

video upload by Indra Perkasa

"technical notes / self-reminder.

both M8 and S4 connected to mac desktop using usb.
then using Loopback, i route audio from M8 to S4 with details:
M8 Main Out to S4 Track 4
M8 Track 4 (Pads Hypersynth) to S4 Track 2
M8 Track 1 (FM Bass Synth) to S4 Track 3

S4 Track 1 is playing back sample that i also recorded from M8 via usb-Loopback.
more on this, at first i tried to connect directly using usb from M8 to S4. it worked, but there's audio crackles. i assumed this happen because of the different sample rate. M8 is 44Khz and S4 is 48KHz. so i found a workaround that is working nicely (no crackles) using Loopback as a bridge.

M8 also sending midi to S4 to send clock, control Start/Stop, and send midi cc to control Mix FIlter of S4 Track 1 and 2. i did this using Midi Patchbay app, its an open source app. very handy app with for this kind of situation, just want a simple routing without needing to use DAW.

then i use ableton just to record, set audio input to S4, audio out to my audio interface for monitoring.

its amazing nowadays how you can multitrack record music gear without using audio cables, only 2 usb! and just want to say Loopback is really really nice. simple, but very useful."

Prismatic Spray II syncing bytebeats to external devices tutorial 1

video upload by Arman Bohn

"My devices can be found here:
https://distropolisgoods.com/

In this video, I step through the process of syncing a bytebeat incantation to a drum loop.

I'm using the Phantasmal Force MIDI controller to send MIDI clock to a Zeptocore (for drums) and MIDI notes to the Prismatic Spray II to playback a melodic sequence.

The method I'm using here works well when you are starting with the Prismatic Spray II, and then matching the tempo of your external drums/sequence to it."

New ASM LEVIASYNTH Keyboard & Desktop Synths Incoming?

This one is in via an anonymous reader.

Some text from the screen grab left:

"ASHUN SOUND MACHINES LEVIASYNTH DESKTOP

From the depths of the sonic seas a new monster rears its head: Leviasynth®.

Leviasynth® is a 16-voice, 8-oscillator algorithmic synthesizer with analog filters.

From the beginning ASM has strived to create synthesizers that challenge the status quo.

Leviasynth® continues this tradition, elevating both studio and stage with a solid steel chassis, enhanced Polytouch® polyphonic aftertouch pads, and an all-new hybrid digital / analog synthesis engine. Leviasynth is an unflinching masterpiece of sonic potential. The 8 oscillators, 13 envelopes, 5 LFOs, 18 digital filter modes, and 4-pole analog low pass filters inspire creativity and live performances.

Flexibility abounds, with two layers of synthesis that can be stacked or split, the ability to pair voices into binaural stereo mode with independent modulation of carrier and modulator signals, as well as various voice allocation modes..."

Not the best pics below, but there you have it.

Roland SA-09 (1980) — Vintage Analog Organ Showcase

video upload by BellaBell

"This is the Roland SA-09 Saturn 09, a 44-key organ synthesizer from 1980, manufactured in Japan.
It’s built around a master oscillator (S10430) with an octave divide-down chip (AY-3-214), delivering that classic fully polyphonic, organ-style tone.

In this showcase, I’m focusing on the core sounds, variations, and character of the built-in analog chorus and vibrato (BBD MN3009) — which is a significant part of its vibe.

Reverb: Blackhole
Master: The God Particle

Sorry in advance if the camera is a bit shaky in this video 🙏

GreyScale-越百 #greyscale #越百 #cosmo #prophet5 #duos #polysequencer

video upload by plantssystem

"The high-density noise textures generated by the Duos and the sharp resonance sweeps of the Prophet-5. An experimental sonic construction where two analog signals intersect.
In this work, the Poly-Sequencer is placed at the core of control, creating multi-layered sequences. The hard sound of the Prophet-5, with its filter narrowed to its limit, cuts through the space against the constantly changing noise particles in the background.
The saturation of the analog circuitry and the stoic dynamism created by the sequence.
A track that explores the depths of sound."

"越百 is called Cosmo.

The photo shows Duos Self-Feedback."

"Cosmo was created using Roland RSS."
