iPulsaret 1.2 / Official Video - AudioBus + Virtual Midi

Published on Mar 18, 2013 Sinapsya·74 videos

"iPulsaret is a granular synthesis. An awesome Granular Synthesizer able to generate a wide range of common and unusual effects: time/pitch shifting, time/pitch jittering, intricate textures, grain fountain/pulverizer, recording and manipulation of buffers, dynamic envelope shapes and many more. iPulsaret allows you to load from built-in sound samples, record audio directly with your iPad mic and/or add your own .WAV, .AIFF files via iTunes. A DropBox access is also available as the Sonoma AudioCopy / Paste feature. I really love the quality of the generated sound, the big x / y Pad which allows you to load 4 Snapshots (one for each corner). A must have for sound designers.

Psych tone emulation

Published on Mar 18, 2013 otherunicorn·40 videos

Don't miss the second video below.

"Please excuse the lousy camera work.
This patch emulates the old Popular Electronics "Psych Tone" project. I used a CGS13 Gated Comparator for the shift register and CGS39 Quad logic gate (XOR) instead of their odd NOR gate arrangement. Bits 5 and 6 were gated and fed back into the input of the CGS13. A floating patch cord to one of the EXORs was used to kick start it, and change the mode of operation from time to time. Tone selection switches were replaced with patch cords (non inverting pulses only) and mixed via a CGS81 processor (inverted or non-inverted) and fed as a CV to a Zeroscillator. At some point I add a 4th bit for added variety, and plug a sequenced oscillator into the Zeroscillator's polarity function."

Psych Tone - taking it further

Same description as above with "The modulating oscillator is being sequenced."

MMTA SYNTHFEST 2013: Dave Bristow & The History of Yamaha FM Synthesis

Published on Mar 18, 2013 matrixsynth·271 videos

This is a fascinating and significant bit of synthesizer history starting with the Yamaha CS80 through the DX7 from the man that was actually there. Yamaha hired Dave Bristow to showcase the Yamaha CS80 followed by asking him to provide input on their first FM synth the GS1.  It was sold as a preset synth but in the video you will see a programmer for it.  Dave was the person that Yamaha had program the presets for it followed by the GS2, DX7 and more.  You'll see the prototype for what became the DX7.  The prototype actually had a DX5 label and a huge breadboard of chips.   He co-authored "FM Theory and Applications" with Dr. John Chowing, the man that discovered FM synthesis at Stanford Unniversity, and he was a member of IRCAM.  Do not miss this. Bookmark it for when you have time if you need to. Dave also had a prototype SY77 at the event. You can see it in my video walkthrough as well as my event pics here.  An interesting side note is John Bowen was at the event, so we had both the man responsible for the presets on the Prophet-5 and other early Sequential Circuits synths, and the man behind the DX7 and other Yamaha FM presets.  Pretty incredible bit of synth history there.

Dave Bristow is part of the Music Technology group at Shoreline Community College where the MMTA Spring SYNTHFEST was held. Via Shoreline:

"Dave Bristow was born in London and began to study music on the piano at an early age. He graduated from university with a BSc in Psychology but soon turned his musical talents full-time and worked as a professional piano/keyboard player with jazz fusion, rock and folk bands. His interest in electronic music and sound steered him towards synthesizer design and development and he played a key role creating factory voicing for the well-known DX7 synthesizer and indeed most of Yamaha's FM synthesizers up to and including the SY99, and is internationally recognized as one of the important contributors to the development and voicing of FM synthesis, co-authoring a text-book on the subject with Dr John Chowning called "FM Theory and Applications". Dave has toured the world as a professional synth demonstrator teaching courses on synthesis and related acoustics in Europe and the USA. He spent three years at Pierre Boulez's music research institute, IRCAM in Paris, running a MIDI and synthesis studio and working with the visiting composers. He moved to the United States in 1995 to work with the electronic music company Emu Systems, Inc. in product development with sampling and filter based synthesizers. Following that in 2002, he began working again with Yamaha as a consultant, focusing on the introduction and support of their small format audio chip series (SMAF) for cell-phones and other mobile devices with ringtones and system sounds. More recently he ran and developed a non-profit community music school for four years on Bainbridge Island, and now spends his time teaching electronic music production and synthesis, and playing with his jazz trio."

STEAMPUNK Axiom 25 Controller and Stand

This one is via Criagslist Chicago

Some details from the listing:

"Custom steampunk 25 key midi controller.

Pictures don't do this justice. 80+ hours of labor, about $900 in parts. This was built for a steampunk band I was in last year.

The stand has a weighted base, main shaft rotates fully. Collapses, and is easy to transport.

The "chassis" that the keyboard attaches to was custom welded from copper pipes, and a WWII ammo case. Easily detaches from base by four large lug nuts. 1950's Triumph motorcycle headlights are also detachable from chassis, and plug in to power supply.

The power supply on the chassis contains two headlight power inverters, specific to the Triumph headlights power requirements. A 1920's brass on off switch, powers the headlights off and on. A great effect on stage, as you can literally "start up" your keyboard before playing, and shine the lights at the crowd and across stage.

The keyboard itself latches in to the chassis via a hinge and latch system from the same WWII ammo case. If you've ever opened one of these, the mechanics are the same. It pops out easily and quickly, but will stay secure throughout any stage antics.

Keyboard is/was a axiom 25. The wonderful thing about them is that if they ever break, their replacement parts are completely modular. I've had several, and they come apart like tinker toys.

Last but not least, included is a vintage 30' fire hose. Whether you need a usb controller, or a midi cable going to a racked synth, you can feed all cables through the hose. This has proven very effective on stage as far as protecting the cables, plus it screws into the back of the chassis, so nothing can ever possibly come undone.

All of the detailing on the keyboard was hand painted/welded/soldered/bolted. The gauges on the keyboard are from vintage german fighter planes, and several of the rivets and metal sides are reclaimed from Russian aircraft."

"My DIY modular (mostly Yusynth) doing Autechre-style beats. A not quite finished Barton Simple CV Quantizer providing notes for the Bass line. The output of the modular is feed into my custom built tube overdrive unit (based on the 'Real McTube II' by Fred Nachbaur) before being feed into the Kurzweil Mangler where excessive Reverb/Delay is applied.

No sequencers, computer or analogue, are used in this recording"

A-155 random drum pattern

A-155 random drum pattern from N K on Vimeo.

"Doepfer A-155 sequencer's trigger row outputs trigger three different drum sounds made with the modular (kick, hihats, and snare). These sounds, along with a simple tonal sequence from the A-155 CV row 1 output, are heard from 0:00-0:17. Around 0:18, I add a 4/4 909 kick (and later a simple 808 snare/clap pattern) to provide a base rhythm. The 6-step A-155 trigger pattern is reset every 16 steps. One LFO changes the A-155 direction from forward to random, and another changes the pattern's first step from 1 to 5. These two LFOs are almost fully to the right of the middle row of modules pictured, and you can just make out the lights corresponding to the snare rolls and random fills. A few tonal sounds were added to the example to show how the drum patch might sound in practice."

Details here. via Nicholas Keller on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge

Update via Nicholas: "I've amended my post, fixed a link in the wrong place, added a pic at the top, and explained a bit how the using MAQ as the clock source can make the pattern even more complex."

Modular Sounds 5

Published on Mar 17, 2013 pjoris2·10 videos

"Primarily a test of the functionality of the Flame Chord Machine and some modules I picked up yesterday, so no real track. Chords and arpeggiation are generated by the Flame Chord Machine in Quant Mode. Only major and unison chords used -- root tone is controlled by an Analogue Solutions SQ8 sequencer.

Chords are played by the Analogue Systems Sorceror: 3 RS-95 VCOs through a mixer, the RS-110 Multimode Filter, VCA and finaly through the RS-240 Bode Frequency Shifter. Some modulation of pulse width, filter cutoff, and amount of frequency shift (using 2 envelopes and LFOs).

Arpeggiation is played by an E350 Morphing Terrarium and an E340 Cloud Generator. The E340 goes through a STG Sea Devils Filter, the E350 through a VCA and both are treated by the E580 Resampling Mini-Delay in "Tape" mode.

"Drums" are controlled by gate signals of the Oberkorn. "Bassdrum" is a sine from a Doepfer A-110 standard VCO with frequency swept by an envelope. "Hihats" are some noise through a Make Noise QMMG -- two channels one in lowpass, and second in high pass mode and both go through an RS-90 Echo.

All recorded on 7 tracks of the Zoom R16."
