Cinematic-ish Chaos (SOMA RoAT + Cloudburst)

video upload by Tibor Synth Explorations

"This time, I’m using Cloudburst to add atmosphere to my SOMA Rumble of Ancient Times. In my previous session, I used BRIG, which produced a completely different result. Instead of the retro sci-fi vibe, we’re entering a smoother, more cinematic soundscape.

Gear used:
SOMA RoAT
Strymon Cloudburst
Zoom LiveTrak L6
Logic Mastering Assistant
Fujifilm X100V

00:00 Let's Get Started

02:53 Sudden Change in Summation
03:48 Refactoring Back to the Room
04:16 Playful Shouting in the Room
04:53 Haunted Robot Voice
05:08 Eventually Clearing the Pattern
05:24 Turning Back to the Room

WHats NExt?? / MIN-1 Ensemble / M-Vave FM-1

video upload by HanzVolt

"Why dont you have one?"

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

Update: via github

"MIN-1 turns the M-VAVE FM-1 into a small minimalist ensemble, in the manner of the music of the 1960s to 80s that was made from very little: repeating figures, slow cycles of chords, processes you can hear. It plays itself from the moment it's switched on, so there is always something to start from; then you take over as much as you like: play your own chords (no theory needed: in EASY keys every key is a chord that fits), roll ideas and keep the ones you like, bring parts in and out by hand, put processes on the figures, and record it all as a song."

Try it in your browser (no FM-1 needed).

OB-6 Bells | Arpeggio & Improvisation

video upload by Modularis

"A short electronic improvisation built around a bell-like arpeggio on the Sequential OB-6.

From there, the piece gradually opens into synth textures, rhythm and piano, keeping the performance spontaneous and mostly untouched.

Modularis is the electronic music project of Joan Alfaras, created and performed through synthesizers, keyboards and original sound exploration.

Daydreamer Wooden Synth 1 - Brooklyn SPEXPO 26

video upload by sonicstate

"Jonathan from Daydreamer showed us Synth 1, an open-source homemade synth, and an early touchscreen visual-audio prototype scope.

Synth 1 uses a Baltic birch plywood case and is built around open-source code and schematics. It has six voices, velocity sensitivity, analog VCOs, an analog filter and analog VCA circuitry. The panel includes oscillator tuning, ADSR controls, global LFO controls, pitch bend support, mod-wheel routing switches, selectable oscillator shapes, noise, filter cutoff, resonance and delay.

The voice allocation depends on oscillator use. With one oscillator per note, it runs as a six-voice polyphonic synth. With two oscillators per note, it gives three notes before note stealing.

The prototype combines internal oscillators with a touchscreen oscilloscope-style display. The X-axis is on the left channel and the Y-axis is on the right, and an external input lets it work as a goniometer. Synth 1 costs $299. The prototype has no final price yet, with availability hoped for next year.

Kanawa Music Filternator + Modules - Brooklyn SPEXPO 26

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Scott from Kanawa Music about the company's Eurorack modules. Kanawa Music works from historic instruments and circuits. The filter is based on a 1940s Hammond Solovox design, using induction coils and capacitors that switch in and out. The chorus takes inspiration from Crumar string machines, with an all-analog circuit that stays close to the original architecture.

The oscillator uses early divide-down ideas, but it has 12 independent oscillators. Each oscillator is hand-tunable, so alternative tuning schemes such as Pythagorean tuning are possible. The system also includes filters, phasers, an LFO and a headphone amplifier. The LFO has adjustable bias and inverted outputs for both channels.

In the stereo layout, C through F sit on the left channel, while F-sharp through B sit on the right. A mono version is also available in a case. It uses one side of the system and includes the same phaser, filter and full 61-note polyphony. Pricing is listed on the company website.
