Shruthi-1 Filter Modulation

YouTube via e7ektro | February 19, 2011 |

"The Cutoff Frequency of the filter (SMR-4) is modulated by an LFO with S+H shape. The resonance is at maximum level. Cool effect I think. The Shruthi-1 has an interesting modulation matrix."

Octatrack as a live remix tool : Braxe & Falke "Intro"

YouTube via kidysputpikii | February 19, 2011 |

"This my take on remixing (recreating) the famous Alan Braxe and Fred falke Intro on my recently acquired Octatrack.

I have only used about 9Mo of samples
- track one is oneshot processed 909 kick
- T2 is a drum loop bit crushed of the original track
- T3 is a super short loop of the original containing just a kick and a hi hat
- T4 is a 909 one bar loop of HH, snare and clap
- T5 is a isolated bassline of the original track
- T7 plays the jets sample that I resampled from their "crush on you single" in my sp1200 passed through the dp 4 phaser the same way, I supposed, Braxe and Falke did.
- T6 plays either that sample or a 4 bars loop of the original intro at the end of the video
- T8 is used as a master bus for filter and repeater effects.

It took me less than 2 hours starting from scratch."

Symbolic Sound Kyma Capybara 320 Sound Design

via this auction
"Kyma Capybara-320 Basic Configuration (4 processors) + 4-channel audio I/O unit + Firewire + drivers + software

This unit + software was originally purchased for over $4400 (!!) (all receipts included) by its first owner with an extra 4 channel IO card, 2 DSP cards, rack mount kit and quiet fan.

The Kyma Capybara system can be used in many ways:
1-For sound design, complex sounds can be designed and assigned to multiple channels, synched to a timeline, like a score.
2-The unit can be controlled just like a MIDI synth, via the built in MIDI interface. Many types of synthesis are included, such as virtual analog, FM, physical modeling and a many more not available anywhere else.
3-Sounds can also be controlled in realtime using other interfaces such as a stylus tablet."

"These demos bring me back to the time I had purchased the TS12.
I hope you enjoy them as well.
Demos were sent out to retail music stores which sold Ensoniq
keyboards, and every one of them, without exception, contains several
incredible sequences, sounds, and musical performances created by
some very talented musicians. Each of the demo disks is copyright by Ensoniq, but they have given explicit permission to make them available for downloading by the general public.

If you own a TS-10 or TS-12, you will want to hear and own these
demos. They're definitely worth the effort of getting. Enjoy the
music!

Both audio sources running through a132 vca's and A140 envelopes controlling vca's. uStep, Spock, a-160 and Z8000 also used for clocking(based off zorlon gate output) and cv sources to control filter. At somepoint i swap the qotile output from controlling the cutoff on the z2080 to control the cv input on the uLFO. I quantized cv going to the uLFO (not that you can really tell)."

16 Step Ambient (Single Pattern Experiment)

16 Step Ambient (Single Pattern Experiment) by iNALOG
"This song is one pattern of 16 steps, looped a lot of times. With this track I hope to demonstrate how you can bring variation to a single looping pattern.

For the synth track I have used a SLOW (unsynced) MODULATION GENERATOR FREQUENCY. For the drum tracks I have used RESET TRIG IN to make some loops shorter than 16 steps. This creates different rhytmic lengths playing against eachother: polyrhythm. I also used different SEQUENCE MODES, so the step sequencer doesn't simply loop but goes back and forth or random.

Please remix it if you want to.

Cheers,
Rutger"
