New Kinetik Laboratories Dao - Algorithmic Chopper

Dao with Gort and Volca Sample Published on Mar 13, 2017 Kinetik Laboratories

"Korg Volca Sample act as clock master for Dao and Gort - the Robot.

Gort is processed by Dao - Algorithmic chopper.

Dao is a pattern controlled gater capable of turning every signal connected to the INPUT JACK into a rhythmic sequence, passing or muting it towards the OUTPUT JACK.
The rhythm patterns are based on the position of two knobs, PATTERN LENGTH and CHOP NUMBER, allowing an intuitive use of the device."

"Dao is a pattern controlled gater capable of turning every signal connected to the INPUT JACK into a rhythmic sequence, passing or muting it towards the OUTPUT JACK.

The rhythm patterns are based on the position of two knobs, PATTERN LENGTH and CHOP NUMBER, allowing an intuitive use of the device. Users can generate up to 136 patterns by setting these knobs.

The ON/BYPASS switch is used to turn the effect on and to start the pattern generation.

The CLOCK RATE knob is used to set the internal sequencer tempo.

The DECAY switch is used to choose the chopped audio slices length. Using SHORT setting is possible to obtain percussive sounds from every kind of continous sound as pads, drone and noise sounds.

Dao generates a 5 Volts pulse, at the beginning of each step, on the SYNC OUTPUT jack. It can also be synchronized to external devices using the SYNC INPUT jack. When a jack is connected to the SYNC INPUT, the CLOCK RATE knob has no effect and the sync signal is replicated to the SYNC OUTPUT allowing synchronization of compatible equipment.

Dao must be supplied with an external power supply, providing 9vDC on 2.1mm barrel jack, negative tip.

Price: 250€ shipping not included. "

Bass Station 2 "paraphony" trick

Published on Feb 1, 2017 Comparative Irrelevance

"Thought I'd share this little trick I like to use on the Bass Station 2. (explained below)

A neat thing about the digital controls on this synth, is that they make it really easy to tune your modulation to musical intervals (especially since the screen shows actual semi-tone steps instead of generic 7bit MIDI values).

In this example I have OSC2 tuned a minor third above OSC1, and I'm using the mod wheel to change the interval to a major third. In principle, this could be any two intervals that you can flip between, essentially letting you play some two-note chords on this mono synth."

I played the Minimoog D with reverb effects from a Lexicon MPX-500 and delay effects from a Korg SDD-3000.

The Minimoog D is a real classic. It is a monophonic synthesizer with a fat analog sound from USA. It has 3 oscillators, a 24dB Moog lowpass filter, 2 envelopes, noise generator. The third oscillator can be used as LFO with a wide frequency range. The Minimoog D is heard on many, many recordings."

DreamsOfWires - 'Setsuko' (AJH Synth Mini Mod & Roland SH-1)

Published on Mar 12, 2017 DreamsOfWires

"Recorded live, no overdubs or post-production. I've been watching a few lesser-known films of Setsuko Hara just recently, one of my favourite actresses, so I thought I'd make something very loosely inspired by her.

Initial sound is the SH-1, all subsequent sounds are from the Mini Mod.

Sequenced using Genome on an iPad, selecting patterns in real-time, into an Expert Sleepers FH-1 to control the SH-1 and 3 Mini Mod VCO's, each on independent midi channels in order to play multiple notes simultaneously.
Recorded into two channels using AUM on the iPad via an iConnectivity AUDIO4+ (which also sends MIDI to the FH-1) with Virsyn's AudioReverb as an insert effect.

The video editing isn't as good as I'd have liked, but my ancient PC makes it a laborious and sloppy task.
Please don't ask me to explain the recording in any more detail than this, thank you.

Film scenes from 'Priest of Darkness' (河内山宗俊, 1936) and 'Temptation' (誘惑, 1948)."

Happy Nerding HN VCF demo

Published on Mar 12, 2017 Happy Nerding

"First part shows the simplest example of using note velocity CV to add variation to a static note sequence.
Second part shows difference in 'Drive' for 'LP' and 'LP!' outputs.

Third part shows how HN VCF can be used to transform mono sound to pseudo stereo. To do this the user should send 'LP' out to one channels and 'LP!' to another. With some “Drive” added to the sound it starts to be spread over stereo field."

via Happy Nerding

"HN VCF is a state variable filter having 12 db Low Pass, 12 dB High Pass, 6 dB Band Pass plus 18 db Low Pass marked as “LP!”, because it has extra drive. All three parameters: 'Freq', 'Resonance' and 'Drive' have dual knobs with outer knobs controlling bipolar CV amount. These affected CVs are then shown by the relative green/blue leds.

The possibility to have CV over “Resonance” and “Drives” makes it a very capable 6 HP filter.
