Mixing it up w/ Zeptocore, AudCalc & Dirtywave M8

video upload by Arman Bohn

"Chill generative beats...

Using the M8 to randomly sound off drone-ish sine waves with some of the new 'shimmer' reverb in the latest firmware.

Zeptocore is synced to M8 via MIDI clock and providing some chopped samples I fed it.

AudCal is running three different sounds that I'm triggering by hand. I created a pattern of notes on each of the sound/channels to help me differentiate which one was selected."

Sequential Fourm - I love this synth!

video upload by Scott McAuley Sounds

"Patches will be available at https://www.orano.co.uk/shop or http://www.synthsounds.co.uk

From my forthcoming custom bank 'Quatrain Vol.1' for the ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Fourm, this one is called SM Insidious, making great use of the Fourms modulation options. This synth is excellent for film and game scoring.

Enjoy
Scott.

This Peak Patch is ALL Random

video upload by Saß

"Welcome to Crazy Random Patch Episode 2!
Ever feel stuck with an idea? Just twist all the knobs and press all the buttons!

In this episode, I made a patch on my Novation Peak, aptly titled "Robo Factory," reminiscent of what you might hear in a robotic car factory from a cyberpunk future, or maybe some weird magical mechanical beast from some dark fantasy dungeon (like the kind from RPGs where its fantasy but they have guns lol). Then, I made a very small beat featuring it to show that it can be used musically! I really hope you enjoy this kind of content, so please let me know if you do or don't! See you in the next video!

"Another video of my version of the Mica sonic electric bongos. This time played with an Arturia Keystep Pro."

Follow-up to this post.

"My recreation of the Mica-Sonic Electric Bongos.

Here's Soundgas description of the Stromer Bongos:

'A handbuilt analogue recreation of the fabled electronic percussion circuit as used by Madlib and on the legendary recording of Ann Peebles 'I Can't Stand the Rain'.'

These are handbuilt in small batches so expect some inconsistencies with the finish - sonically they're very close to the originals (though all originals vary in tone/timbre now due to component ageing/drift."

Each drum tone has a trim pot inside that's been adjusted so that the oscillator is just below the point of self-oscillation. When triggered, the circuit oscillates at its resonant frequency and rings out like a drum. Pushing in the 'mute' button shortens the decay.

To play these you need something that sends trigger pulses, like a beat- or key-step pro, or a drum machine with trigger outputs. Works with your standard center negative 9 volt adapter (not included)."
