MOOG PRODIGY + SOVTEK EHX SMALL STONE ~ Will They Pair? Ep.19

Published on Jul 31, 2017 once upon a synth

"Pairing the classic Moog Prodigy with the Sovtek / Electro-Harmonix Small Stone pedal. The Prodigy is a vintage monophonic analog synthesizer. The Small Stone is a vintage analog phaser guitar pedal. Together they blend nicely into an evolving warm nostalgic vintage tone. Will they pair? You bet!"

Published on Jul 31, 2017 UncertainMusicCorps

"Short study in generative polyphony. Shapeshifter provides duophonic pad, augmented by chord mode on osc 1. Braids plus processing gives a lead voice. DC adds some subtle sonic distress. Wotja is the glue that holds it all together."

The Eternal Expanse

Published on Jul 31, 2017 davidryle

"Trying my hand at building choir sounds with various synthesizers.

The opening part is a JV-1080 mellotron choir. Then I built a soprano 'banshee' style choral sound with heavily modulated vco's from the Mos Lab 901 trio into the 904-A filter, an Encore frequency shifter and Behringer DD400 delay.

I introduce some noise from the Sputnik WCRS and a Q110. The drone synth part is next from the Prophet '08 with a stacked fast eighth note pattern in the background. Then I played the chord progression from the System 8 as a controller to the OB-6 and JV-1080. The melody over the top is the Deepmind 12 and Erebus.

Finally I bring up the last chorus part from the 5U modular. This is formed from a pair of Q960 step sequencers playing two patterns of three vco's each through a Moogah SEM filter. It is sent to a Modcan 73B dual delay in flange/chorus mode modulated by a Yusynth quadrature LFO. The audio signal from the filter is routed through the Strymon Blue Sky reverb in mod/plate mode before going to the delay.
The loud boom is the Waldorf MicroQ."

Modular On The Spot At Seattle's Gas Works Park

Published on Jul 30, 2017 John L Rice

"I quickly threw this together from random video clips and still shots I took during the MOTS concert at Gas Works Park in Seattle WA USA July 29th 2017.

I was experimenting with my little Canon M5 mirror-less camera and 22mm lens to see how well it would work recording video and I was surprised that the audio quality turned out to be not half bad considering I was only using the built in mic! I would have recorded more than just short clips of all the performers if I had known before hand. (video quality suffered because I had the wrong mode set! d'oh)

How to add knobs to your Korg Volca, SQ-1 or Moog Werkstatt synths

Published on Jul 30, 2017 Mike Sisk

"In this video I show a simple way to make knobs that are too big fit onto a Korg Volca, SQ-1 or Moog Werkstatt.

To do this all you need is a plastic drinking straw and some knobs. I used a section of the straw and a shim to go between the knob and the shaft of the pot. Then tightened the set screw to hold i in place.

The knobs I used were from Mammoth Electronics, they come in many different colors and only cost $0.80 each. The straw was from McDonnald's and was free.
