KORG Berlin phase8: first jam (full)

video upload by Freaky Tweaky

"My KORG Berlin Phase 8 finally arrived today!

It's quite sensitive to vibrations (almost as sensitive as a turntable), so I'm wondering if it would be difficult to use it directly in a club live performance. However, even just considering it for music production, I feel it's a special synthesizer. I really love it.

There's a real magic to the harmonic and pitch changes when you place small objects on it just right…

Next, I'm going to try playing it with a drum machine."

MPC Sample: Deep hypnotic techno. First attempt at a live jam

video upload by SynthDad

"I bought an MPC Sample for fun jamming so after a few hours of playing with it this is my first attempt at a deep hypnotic techno jam. Little rough around the edges in places, but hey that's live music for you!

Thinking about how I might pair it with a small portable modular setup. It's lacking some key features (step sequencer being one of them) but if I combine it with my Oxi One that's not an issue."

“Innocuous Entity” 📡🎛️✨ Buchla / Késako / SoundFreak / Keen Association Modular system ✨

video upload by Stephano Gavilanes

"Késako Player in loop mode with my own samples and pulse out, Synththomas 292, the Soundfreak modular set, and the Buchla 296e on even/odd mode processing 💫

The Buchla 246 took a break for this session, and no longer using a mixer module!👌🏽

Hope you enjoy it! 🤙🏼

Hexdrums cranked, compressed & gated (no talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Compressor hiss? Meh, the world's full of noise and hiss. Levels pushed, why not? Some limiting on the output - sure. We're just having fun here, not trying to educate anyone on noise levels or production techniques. And as usual this video has completely mutated from its original form. The intention was to show the new Nightverb gated reverb option and blather on about drum machines. Then I started playing with Hexdrums' compressor. So instead of my long diatribe on drum machine programming I chopped that all out and just kept the actual drums.

Compressor's aren't my thing. Yet with the Hexdrum compressor I had fun. Pushed past noon it will start giving an audible hissy noise floor but if you're cranking lots of other things that that just disappears :D If I was making an album track I'd probably try to get rid of it but for now every noise is welcome.

On the routing: Voice 1 (bass drum 1) and Voice 3 (snare) are on separate outs and are completely dry - although I was severely temped to do some processing on them. All the other voices go to the Hexdrums stereo out, then to the Nightverb on the gated reverb option; then to the Echolocator. With either effect unit turned to 100% wet it's up to the dry voices 1 & 3 to keep things together.

At times I turn up the release on Voice 2 (bass drum 2) and that's what upsets the compressor and holds it open so long that the gated reverb doesn't get a turn.

The main reason I like this setup is that you can get variations on a single drum pattern without having to program any new drum patterns :)

The main out from the DAW has some mild limiting to catch stray spikes but otherwise this is an unedited one-pass twiddlefest.

MultiWAVE MIDI | MakeNoise New Universal Synthesizer System | Episode 06

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Midi on the MulitWAVE is a big deal. It seems it just adds polyphony from your DAW or midi host, but how many keyboards do you know where you can actively control eight separate voices and put each voice in its own VCA, with its own modulation and FX? I know only one. And then you can still go hybrid and plug all kinds of CV in it.

It's also a big deal because you can make moving soundscapes which are either super hard or totally impossible with regular hardware keys. Sure you can use multiple instances of VST's in the daw, but that doesn't count because a PC is not a fair compare.

I am still waiting for my MIDI expander strip to arrive, so I 'broke the rules' by using a direct USB connection with Ground Control. MakeNoise does not support this due to all classic 'interference' problems with USB loops between controllers, hosts and output devices. The 'strip' mitigates those problems, and it offers a front panel input instead of running USB cables through places where they can't go. But this video was simply to short to wait for the strip to arrive. Next week the new GTE will also be here, so I'll stitch it up properly soon and try an MPE controller."
