Voltage Connect Conference 2017 w/ DSI, Suzanne Ciani, Jordan Rudess, David Friend, and More

via @dsiSequential

"Join Dave Smith & other synth designers @BerkleeCollege Voltage Connect Conference 2017 - More details at http://www.berklee.edu..."

"The Electronic Production and Design Department at Berklee is proud to present the Voltage Connect Conference, which will be held on March 10 and 11, 2017. The conference is themed “Pioneers, Players, Thinkers, Purveyors” and will examine the development and direction of electronic instruments, from early commercial synthesizers in the 1970s to the present and beyond. The conference connects researchers, established and emerging companies, and performers who are committed to the development and use of electronic instruments.

Since the first commercial release of synthesizers, we’ve seen an enormous change in what an electronic instrument actually is, from analog to digital, hardware to software, and back again, all driven by technological innovation and imagination. This two-day conference will consist of panel discussions, presentations, technology demos, and performances that explore how electronic instruments are developed and used. A product expo will run concurrently with the conference proceedings.

The conference will feature keynote performers Jordan Rudess, keyboardist of prog rock band Dream Theater, and electronic music pioneer Suzanne Ciani.

Keynote speakers for the conference will be David Friend, cofounder of the ARP Instruments company; Marcus Ryle, president of Line 6; and Daniel Haver, CEO of Native Instruments."

Newtonian Random Rhythms

"Rocky Mountain Synth Meetup Lightning Patch Walkthroughs

Newtonian Random Rhythms

This patch is based around the [ADDAC] 503 Marble Physics module which is a CV generator based on the mechanics behavior of a marble on a tray.

You can, by voltage control, tilt the plane or bump the marble with a certain strength, which will cause it to roll and bounce on elastic walls.

The module will output the object's XY position or velocity and you can control other physical parameters, like the walls' elasticity or the strength of a bump. When the marble hits walls the bounce outputs a trigger.

I am using the trigger out to randomize patterns in the Malekko Varigate8 in Random mode which seeds logical gates into the patterns.

I am using a 4ms Quad Clock Distributor module to control the Varigate8+ clock and using a divide by 16 to clock the marble physics bump feature to initiate bounce output.

The elasticity of the walls is being controlled by bipolar out of Noise Engineering SincIter which is being driven by the Voltage Block slaved to the Varigate8+.

The Freeze of Random seeding is controlled by the envelope out from SSF Entity (which is also receiving randomized trigs from the Varigate8+) module via an envelope follower.

The Xaoc Devices Batumi is controlling various parameters of the Marbe Physics module along with controlling the WMD Performance Mixer Volume/Pan level with help from the 4ms Pingable LFO which is slaved to the 4ms QCD."

Gotye to Pay Tribute to Jean-Jacques Perrey at Moogfest

via Moogfest:

"At Moogfest 2017, Gotye will present a tribute to Jean-Jacques Perrey. Jean-Jacques Perrey (1929-2016) was an alternative pop visionary, a pioneer of rhythmic tape editing techniques, and a virtuoso of the rare French electronic musical instrument, the Ondioline. Gotye, a long-time Perrey fan and a budding Ondiolinist, has assembled the Ondioline Orchestra, an ensemble dedicated to reviving the spirit of this rare and unusually expressive early synthesizer. The ensemble features thereminist/keyboardist Rob Schwimmer, vintage synth specialist and ex-Psychedelic Furs member Joe McGinty, as well as members of acclaimed alternative band Zammuto. Perrey’s best-known songs will be celebrated alongside ultra rare pieces co-written with Angelo Badalamenti and Billy Goldenberg in an eclectic set juxtaposing Perrey’s joyful and boisterous pop with more reflective work spanning three decades of his career. Ondioline Orchestra perform all sounds live, including Perrey’s signature sample sounds, classic Moog patches, and a rich variety of Ondioline timbres on fully-restored original instruments. This show is a rare opportunity for fans of early electronic pop music to celebrate this influential producer/performer’s wonderfully inventive studio work in a live environment."

How cool is that? I had no idea Gotye was into the Ondioline and Jean-Jacques Perrey.

Jean-Jacques Perrey has been featured here on MATRIXSYNTH numerous times in the past. I was fortunate enough to see him perform live back in 2006. I'll never forget that show. It was pure magic. That image to the left was from it. That's Jean-Jacques Perrey on the left and Dana Countryman on the right.

John Bowen Solaris - More Presets and Demo 2

Published on Mar 8, 2017 Stephen Hummel

"Volume 9 of the 'Circuits and Strings' series of studio jam videos from subtractiveLAD aka: Stephen Hummel.

With this set of presets I wanted to explore some more classic timbres, along with sounds that only the Solaris could do. These presets are created using only the Solaris sound / effects engine (no samples or external effects besides the occasional touch of reverb).

I have made Wavetable-based patches that, in some cases, lean more towards a Waldorf Wave in character, while others lean towards a PPG Wave 2.3...

Some patches are decidedly Moog in flavor, with some exploring a more hybrid Memorymoog-style character (CEM oscillators with Moog filter) and others a more pure Moog sound (Moog oscillators and filters).

There are patches that are FM-based and some that come close to modeling acoustic instruments. I also think I got very close to the original Oberheim "Jump" timbre...

I will be delivering all of the presets that I make to John Bowen and he will send them out to the Solaris users"

Moog Music Wishes Dick Hyman a Happy Birthday w/ Tribute Page

Check out that 50U system!!! You can find the full write-up at Moog Music, which includes a number of videos featuring Dick Hyman and his music.

"Since beginning his career in the 1950s, piano legend Dick Hyman has released over 100 albums and played on hundreds of sessions. The prolific jazz pianist is credited on over 1,000 recordings--from radio to television, musical theater to the symphonic stage. He even lent his musical talents to a dozen of Woody Allen’s films.

A stylistic archivist and sonic chameleon, Hyman was an adept of the keyboard instruments, mastering the piano, organ, and ondioline before moving on to the newly invented Moog synthesizer in 1967. Seeking “to humanize electronic music as well as to humorize it," Dick Hyman released a series of accessible electronic records that removed the synthesizer from its familar home of academic and avante-garde circles and placed it at the center of pop recordings..."

Rhythm Ace Drum Machine Through Vermona Retroverb Lancet

Published on Mar 8, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"Trying out many of the preset rhythms on the Rhythm Ace FR2L with different settings on the Vermona Retroverb Lancet. The Retroverb has a spring reverb, state variable filter, voltage controlled amplifier, LFO, envelope follower and envelope generator. There is also variable routing on the lancet and an input stage that can be overdriven into distortion.

Today's digital effects and plug-ins can create almost perfect room simulations. However, when it comes to characteristic and charismatic reverb, analogue effect-processors are yet to beat. The reverberating sound of a spring is so lively and unique that its sound is almost impossible to recreate in the digital domain. In addition to this, Retroverb Lancet is not just a spring reverberation system - it is an analogue multi-effects-processor. It offers overdrive, filtering, VCA, envelope and LFO to manipulate the spring sound and create different sounds like Auto-Wah, Tremolo, Distortion, Delay, Gater and of course Reverb.

Tsurugami - At The Gallery - New Album

Published on Mar 5, 2017 Tsurugami

https://tsurugami.bandcamp.com/album/at-the-gallery

"The project Tsurugami arose from the desire to extend the spontaneous improvisation by compositional elements. Based on a guest performance of the STS (Synthesizer Treffen Schweiz) in the gallery Fafou in October 2014 the idea was created to realize this wish by musical interpretations of several paintings and pictures.

Like an artist creates a final painting on a blank canvas, a finalized picture was used as a blank canvas for the musical interpretation.

Tsurugami presented the idea to the gallery owners and these contacted the artists. The feedback then allowed the three musicians to agree on the realisation of music for six pictures.

Equipped with several instruments, the musicians met at the gallery Fafou in May 2016, which gratefully was provided by the owners.

Tsurugami implemented the creative process for all of the pieces in the same way. At the beginning they selected one of the six pictures. Then each member outlined his perceptions and musical imagination related to the picture to each other. The next step was the independent creative preparation of a musical idea, which was then exchanged and discussed. The discussion finally resulted in the structure of the composition.

The first take of the basics (drums, sequencer, harmonic structure) almost always lead to just one additional take of overdubs (additional pads, solos and fx sounds).

With this concept it was possible to create and record six different songs in just three days. The final mix was done in summer at an additional weekend.

Now Tsurugami is happy to present the result and bring the project finally to its end.

We used paintings and pictures from:
Reto Bühler - Sehnsucht
Urs Sohmer - Tänzer durch Welt und Zeit
Marlies Gerson - Diva
Dani Brechbühl - Estrecho de Magallanes
Frau Edixa - Michael & Celeste

Cue recalls new scenes only after the current sequence finishes. Use the keyboard to quickly select new scenes while keeping everything in time
Random algorithms allow for static or evolving randomness that create subtle or extreme note variations. A separate probability parameter controls how often the random algorithm is applied.
Random sequence generator creates new sequences with one button press
Quantizer can be set to constrain outgoing notes to any arbitrary scale chosen using the keyboard
Transpose from -1 to +2 octaves and by any number of semitones as chosen with the keyboard
Tile function allows for duplication of a section of the sequence for easy multiple bar variations
Clock divider divides by any power of two from /1 to /64
