Mark Mosher "9Box"Method: AudioCubeEdition PerformanceTest

YouTube via newechoproductions | Feb 23, 2011 |

"I'm developing a method called "9 BOX" for performance, improvisation, and spontaneous tribal jams with music, sound, and light. It's based on Ableton Live templates. The first edition is implemented with Percussa AudioCubes. This video is a performance test to see how long it takes configure the cubes and load the templates. This is a one-time setup per jam session. You can then refill the 9 boxes on the fly for endless jam sessions. More at http://9box.modulatethis.com."

Native Instruments - Absynth Sound Design (Electric Piano)

YouTube via ANTsynth | Feb 23, 2011 |

"This is a sample I made playing a couple of chords in Native Instruments Electric Piano software. I imported the track into Absynth for time stretching and detuning. I Used the Aetherizer to get a pad type timbre and inharmonic gong like textures."

Buchla 259e Follow Up

YouTube via 7thDanSound | February 23, 2011 |

"This video is a bonus episode and follow up to a previous video. I was asked if the 259e was good at doing bass and got a few pointers from boobtube356 http://www.youtube.com/user/boobtube356 Great many thanks for that! This is very subtle and takes a lot of exploration to get the best out of. I suppose I'm just barely scratching the surface here.

Also, I found the top three wavetables to contain mostly noise but actually they don't. The FM index knobs scan some other memory area and creates interesting sounds. I had no idea!"

Berlin Old school. Synthesizers and Sequencers like Tangerine Dream

YouTube via Synthiefrau | February 23, 2011 |

"Hi lovely Synthfolk. This is a new improvisation from me. Tangerine Dream is my ideal. Two seqencers are in action. The Dot.com and GRP A 8 Synth/Seqenzer.
The leads comes from the Minimoog and Moog Prodigy. The chorus comes from the V-Synth from Roland. Effects are from the Doepfer Dark Energy and the Roland Juno 60."

VSP-330 Voice Synth Plus beta VST (VP-330)

YouTube via FlakeStick | February 23, 2011 | Update: video re-uploaded below.

"A beta version sound test of my Voice Synth Plus VST plugin. It's not going to replace the original Roland VP-330 strings and choirs, but it's the next best thing and then some.

VST Plugin Features:
- Choir selectable Male 8', Male 4' and Female 4' across all keys.
- Strings selectable 8' AND 16' Bass (the 16' string was not on original)
- Built-in ensemble mod can be switched on/off for choir and strings.
- Envelope attack for each Choir and String. Env release is shared like on the original.
- Choir and String level controls.
- Up to 16-voice polyphony depending on your computer.
- Of course MIDI and patch save.

This is a beta version so the GUI is minimal. Better graphics will come w/ future versions.

The audio was recorded in Cubase on three tracks w/ no other processing added - ALL VSP-330! I added some pics of a real VP-330 to the video for fun."

Malekko VCA in the Flesh

"Coming soon from Malekko, the next in their line of compact utility modules, is the 4 HP VCA. The VCA is a simple but good sounding dual VCA at an affordable price. Each half has an audio input and output, a CV input with atttenuator and a pushbutton for switching between linear and exponential modes. This module should be shipping within the next couple of weeks.

"Module A-154 is a supplement to the A-155 Analog/Trigger Sequencer module. It offers a lot of new features that are not available in the basic control unit of the A-155. The A-154 is used to replace the control unit of one or two A-155, i.e. the section marked "Control" with Start / Stop / Step / Reset buttons and inputs in the upper left corner of the A-155 front panel. If the A-154 is used to control the A-155 the control section of the A-155 is put out of action.

Rhythmic Tangent By: Matias Monteagudo & Jeff Rhod / klanglabs / Perimeter Sound

YouTube via UPROAR24 | February 23, 2011 |

"Rhythmic Tangent By: Matias Monteagudo & Jeff Rhod / klanglabs / Perimeter Sound
rythmic tangent is a vst effect from the kvr audio developer challenge 2007. which over the years has has some brilliant vst plugins and effects in the compotition,
Rythmic tangent is intended to be used with wave samples, but in this video i used synth lead to see the rythmic patterns a little more than using wave samples of drum patterns, leads and basses, etc, plus i wanted to know what it would sound like with a vsti synth plugin with one single note on different keys of the keyboard.
copied from pdf manual A breif history
Back in April 2006 Jeff Rhodes (Perimeter Sound -- www.perimetersound.com) contacted Matias
Monteagudo (KlangLabs -- www.klanglabs.tk) to make a plugin with certain useful features either not
found in other plugins, or taking a standard effect and give it a new twist (you know)...Initially,
Rhythmic Tangent was conceived as a bonus for Perimeter Sound loop sample sound library
customers, the intention was to give the user a tool to further tweak the samples they had just
bought, and also to offer a more attractive product. Obviously, that plan changed slightly, more on
that later.

Diabolical Modified Alesis HR-16

"www.circuit-bent.com"

via this auction

"This mega modified Alesis HR-16 is the first in a short series of HR mods in custom enclosures and loaded with features. The HR-16 is filled with circuit-bent craziness and unique drum/synth sounds. Check out the description of features below. When none of the modifications are engaged this machine functions like a 100% stock hr-16

Custom HR-16 FEATURES:
Circuit-Bending Interface: 20 point patch-bay allow you access to bendable ROM locations. Linking these points with patch cables will generate a wide range off effects, synth tones, new sounds, and unique sound-scapes. The HR-16 is particularly responsive to CB mods and has one of the widest ranges in sound for a circuit-bent drum machine. Patch-bay also has 3 points joined for mulit patching, and the entire patch-bay is backlight with multi-color flashing LEDs. Leds randomly blink and fade into just about every color in the spectrum.

Patchable Rotary Switch: Located on the main patch panel is a 12 position rotary switch with a patch location for base and each of the 12 positions. Patch locations can be routed through this switch then selected at will. Leaving a position blank will serve as off or bypass.

Dual Oscillator: Audio Frequency oscillator and LFO Pitch is controlled by LED fader and output is wired to bending patch bay. When patched to particular locations this will generate tunable overtones and other unique sounds.

CLK/Master Pitch Control: Master pitch controls affects the pitch of all drum sounds but not the tempo of pattern of speed of other functions. Pitch ranges from well above to WAY below normal pitch, at low pitches you can get some really gritty bit-reduction sounds. Pitch is controlled with LED fader and features by-pass switch."
