Published on May 14, 2017

"This particular track is made using 2 X Synthi AKS and VCS3 with TKS. They are all played live and multitrack recorded without later overdubs."

"'Krautpark' is the first single off a debut album from Pin Park. Pin Park are a duo consisting of Maciek Bączyk (Kristen, Robotobibok) and Maciek Polak. Together they explore the nether regions of improvised electronic music mixing influences ranging from Cluster to Boards of Canada.

'We've known each other for years now. We met when Bączyk's synth broke down just before he was supposed to enter the studio with Robotobibok and he was looking for a replacement. I agreed to lend him mine,' recalls Polak. 'But it was only two years ago when we started improvising together,' adds Bączyk. 'Both of us own EMS synths and these are not that common. We didn't set ourselves any goals, the band started by assuming two EMS's are better than one. We plugged them in and the result will soon land in your hands in the form of 'Krautpark' album,' recalls Polak.

'EMS synths have an unique system of connections between counterparts - you can do that by inserting a pin that allows for connections. As well, EMS constructors managed to assemble a perfect set of parts that resulted in a wonderful sound. Thanks to all of this, the Synthi resembles a complete musical instrument, much like a cello', explains Polak. 'I personally enjoy Synthi AKS mainly due to the fact that I'm not what you would call a keyboard player,' adds Bączyk. 'I'm not that interested in being innovative just for the sake of innovation,' he says.

Pin Park's album is named after one of the tracks that recalls the golden age of German electronic music. 'This one seemed pretty obvious although you need to know that our aim is not to create a genre-oriented music. We just turn the knobs and hope for the right energy to arrive. Once everything is in its place, we start recording. But it needs to be mentioned that I feel some kind of affinity for bands such as Cluster, Harmonia and Kraftwerk. I really like the approach Roedelius and Moebius had - living up to the idea of Joseph Beuys 'Every man an artist'. They chose their tools (instruments) and recorded a couple of amazing albums. Their music is really intuitive and void of any false additions. It's just free improvising and pure, surreal psychedelia,' explains Bączyk.

'Krautpark' is a largely improvised album. Mostly, due to the fact that Bączyk and Polak need around 15-20 minutes of playing before learning if the direction they're taking is the right one. 'If it is, we quickly agree on who will be taking the lead role, we turn the volume down and start recording. We usually take one approach, though a multitrack one to facilitate mixing later in the process,' says Bączyk.

E-mu Morpheus Z-Plane Synthesizer

via this auction

"The E-mu Morpheus was an innovative machine at the time of its release in 1993. The big news was the introduction of its "z-plane" filters, that had the capability of "changing smoothly their function" over time. This translates in superb synth sweeps, sci-fi swoops, alien soundscapes, human voice emulations, and lots more.

The Morpheus contains 8MB of 16-bit samples as the starting points for its sounds. There are 197 (!) filters to choose from, and many of these are truly phenomenal.

There are three banks of 128 sounds, and an optional data card. The hyperpresets allow you to stack or split up to 32 sounds in a patch - very powerful. A bit hidden in the MidiMap there are also 28 effects, including reverb, delay, chorus, phaser and flanger. Other features include three sets of stereo outputs, user definable alternate tuning, and extensive MIDI implementation"

3 Modules #7: STO, Ears, Brain Seed

Published on May 15, 2017 Comparative Irrelevance

"This one is pretty basic, but uses a neat trick with the STO to create amplitude modulation without the use of a VCA.

Patch notes:
Ears is used as a manual trigger. The gate output (which only fires on extra hard hits) is connected to the Brain Seed, cycling through a random eight step sequence. This sequence is quantized to a minor scale, and sent to STO's V/Oct input.

Ears' envelope output is sent to STO's "shape" input. When this parameter is at 0, the output is a sine wave in opposite phase of the dedicated sine wave output. This means that the two outputs cancel each other out when mixed directly. As Ears' envelope moves the shape parameter, it produces a change in amplitude as well as timbre, because it adds harmonics that aren't cancelled by the sine wave.

I'm using a Strymon Big Sky for some added delay/reverb.

Thanks for watching!"

New DSP Synthesizers Polytron37 Divide Down Oscillator & Infinity37 Prototype Keyboard

via DSP Synthesizers

"Remember the old top octave divide-down organ oscillators?

They were fully polyphonic although with limited on/off envelopes.

The Polytron37 keyboard oscillator is a modern divide-down oscillator.

Besides being fully polyphonic on 37 keys it also features attack and release envelope, separate and polyphonic for each key.

It scans the 37-key keyboard, sends and receive MIDI, handles analog inputs for pitchbend and modulation, has analog inputs for ENV and outputs the audio and gate for following filters etc.

This is the prototype of the Infinity37.

Using the Polytron37, fully polyphonic DCO chip and featuring the brand new SSI2144 VCF, it will be a groundbreaking new analog hybrid synthesizer.

This is divide-down oscillator technology and filters creating a fully polyphonic synthesizer in 2017."

Oberheim OB-MX Sound Exploration - No Midi - No Keyboard!

Published on May 13, 2017 100 Things I Do

"Its been a while since I did a OB-MX video. This time I decided to explore the synth without the use of a keyboard. The Mixer section of the OB-MX has a filter offset that allows you to bypass the envelopes and have the raw sound exit the synth. Great for drones!

Due to the early digital nature of the control surface and stepping this introduces you can get some very interesting flavours. The LFO's have variable stepping from Direct voltage to Quantised voltage that has definable steps. I have never come across this on a synth before and it allows you to do some pretty unique things.

I will do another clip in a few weeks time that will explore the modulation matrix deeper but I wanted to make this clip something that was a progression and not a semi-random collection of Timbres. I hope you enjoy and it inspires you to explore your synth in different ways.

I used Valhalla Verb & Sound Toys EchoBoy Jr and Ran the OB-MX through the Warm Audio WA 76. Master bus used Waves SSL Bus Compressor and Logic's Limiter & Multiband"
