Atrium: First Impressions AND Synth tidbit (No talking)

video upload by Hazel Mills

"This is an early exploration of the Whimsical Raps' Atrium, and a practice run of my piece "Wild Red Moon" (interesting to compare it to the final version, for variation in sound and behaviours - • Mesmerising sounds on the Atrium - "Wild R... ). [posted here]

Digitone 2 controlled by Faderfox UC4 - Full one-take performance

video upload by Sineway

"Solo Digitone II jam, mixed entirely off its own stereo outs, no other synth in the chain and no Overbridge this time. Made in the camper during summer vacation, controlled start to finish by the Faderfox UC4.

This is my first full performance running the UC4 as the only controller. I've shown it in passing before, but this is the first time it's carrying an entire jam on its own. The push-button encoders mean I don't lose the second row of controls I'm used to from the XL3, I just access them a different way. The crossfader is handling delay send throughout.

I also tried something new with track layering on this one: a couple of tracks aren't going to the main outs at all, they're routed straight into the delay and reverb sends. Same sequencer data as the dry pad and lead, just played back through a different sound on a shadow track. I'll have a short follow-up tutorial on that technique soon with a few more ways to use it."

SPACE 1oh1 (Roland SH-101 BLUE - 1oh1 Mod by Tubbutec, Roland Space Echo RE-201)

video upload by Acid Gray

"First time I set up the SH-101 for a random- arp jam in my studio after getting it (rather unexpected in the summer break) along with the Roland RE-201 Space Echo.

Recorded in a single take on 1010 BlueBox - Cloud Reverb added here on top or the spring reverb from the Space Echo.

I learned today, that the 101 can't generate a clock signal - here the LFO speed is used to trigger the arp (not the tightest tempo I have ever had, but I wanted to keep things simple).

Was seriously surprised about the variety you can get of it.
Thanks to ‪@tubbutec‬ for the superb development of the 1oh1 retrofit - I wouldn't wanna miss it and ‪@analogiapl‬ for the overhaul of this stunning unit.

Next take will be a combination of TR-808, SH-101 and a TB-303 ."

ODD-1 Demo: Live Mode with Cassette Tape

video upload by Oddment

"I have a box of old cassette tapes. I wanted to show how you can mess with the playback speed and pitch even in LIVE mode on the ODD-1, and show off one of the fun effects you can create with TIME PATH. I had no way to prepare myself for the glorious content to be found on this tape!

The ODD-1 is a microsonic (granular) instrument — a synthesizer that chops sound into small pieces and lets you re-pitch and rearrange them, with a knob for every function required and patching by holding any knob down.

0:20 — Basic setup
0:56 — Modify playhead speed and grain size, spacing

All the emulators are original work by TUS, except the SC-55 emulation core which is originally based on the work of NukeYKT."

"88Emu emulates the hardware inside most Sound Canvas modules and related earlier sound generators, used for retro gaming and DTM. It runs the original firmware on emulated CPUs and sound chips, including the firmware’s instrument selection, voice allocation, effects, MIDI handling and front-panel behavior. You supply the ROM images; they are not included.

88EmuPlayer is NOT a DAW-compatible plugin, but instead a standalone application for playing MIDI files and using those devices from a MIDI keyboard, sequencer or game. 88EmuCli uses the same emulation to render files to WAV offline using a command line interface, without having to wait for the song to play in real time."
