Patchmaking on the Novation Summit Synthesizer

1. Novation Summit - 2 noisy emotional synthesizer patches

A short showoff of two nice patches I made for the Novation Summit Synthesizer showing a different kind of sounds that can be created with this versatile synth. Enjoy it.

2. Patchmaking on the Novation Summit Synthesizer - how I work with it and makes the most out of it!

"This is a programming session on my Novation Summit synthesizer - showing some tricks and how you can work with lots of modulation and get some noisy and dirty sounds out of the Summit. It is not necessarily the most common type of sounds from this synth. But it has some clever mod matrix setups that can be used.

The sound was recorded straight from the Novation Summit output to a Zoom H6 recorder, also recording the talk... No external processing.

My hope is that this video can give some insight into different ways of working with this synthesizer."

Hardware Jams Weekend Challenge - Cadmium [WIP], Periodic Table

video upload by SynthAddict

"Maschine+

The tempo is the atomic mass of Cadmium, rounded off (112).

Cadmium metal has high toxicity.

Cadmium was used in NiCd batteries for decades until NiMH and Li-Ion batteries replaced them.

Cadmium is still used as a component of control rods in nuclear fission reactors and in CdS photocells for light sensors and modular vactrol circuits.

A cadmium-dependent carbonic anhydrase (enzyme) has been found in marine diatoms in place of the usual zinc version."

Vangelis' Magic trick with the Yamaha CS80 Ribbon Control

"In this video I demonstrate the way Vangelis used the ribbon control to get that typical 'Chinese sound' on the opening track 'Chung Kuo'."

Electronica w/ CyDrums, OP-1 field, Prophet-10, CP-88 | Pastel Porch 2025-02-24

video upload by atnr

"A piece created using the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and ‪@SONICWARE‬ CyDrums. It's an electronica track built around an irregular piano melody and a glitchy rhythmic sound.

The bassline is generated using a sine wave on Ableton Live's Operator.

The rhythm is crafted on CyDrums, with sequences controlled via MIDI from Ableton.

The OP-1 field is used to perform synth parts, and its output is routed through ‪@gfisys‬ SPECULAR TEMPUS, where a deep Shimmer Reverb is occasionally applied.

On the YAMAHA CP-88, I perform layered octaves irregularly, while the Prophet-10 delivers the harmonies."

MachineRoom STP16

video upload by MachineRoom

"STP16 is an 16-step trigger/gate sequencer working in 2 modes:

16 step mode - In this mode STP16 uses "hocketing", in our case it controls two channels using one 3-position switch. In the left position of switches 1-16, the trigger is sent to channel A (blue led), in the right - channel B (red led), the middle position - no signal. In this mode, only one of the channels plays during the step, which allows you to quickly create a rhythmic pattern from two instruments, an example can be a combination of open/closed hi-hats.

8 step mode - A 16-step sequence can be divided into two 8-step sequences using the 8/16 switch, in this case the toggles will work as in a classic sequencer, ON in the right position, OFF in the middle. The mode is convenient when you need corresponded steps of both channels to be played simultaneously. One of the channels can be used to reset the other, shortening the sequence.

The clock signal will be the same for both sequences, Out A will be responsible for the left channel, Out B - for the right.

Сlock - clock

Gate/Trigger - In Gate mode STP16 operates with tied gate signal and can, for example, control a VCA.


Direction (UP/DOWN) - allows you to play the sequence in the reverse direction, works equally in 8 and 16 step modes.

CV controls:

Reset - returns the sequence to step number 1, works equally for both 8 and 16 steps.

Gate/Trig - changing between the modes

Each switch has 2 positions: trigger or tied gate. The Reset input allows you to make the sequence as short as you want. Ideal for creating and manipulating rhythmic sequences in live sets."

Ambient jam with Lumanoise v4 Eurorack

video upload by nanocyde

"Dialed in a nice subharmonic chord with the four oscillators of the Lumanoise v4 by LEP. Reverb is Alesis XT:c in the rack, kick drum is Boba Fat going through an old Yamaha E1010 delay to give it a 5/4 sound. The Lumanoise v4 isn't calibrated for 1v/oct because it uses vactrols, so I just rolled with it!"
