VCOADSR Performance // Modular Meets Leeds 2017

Published on Sep 3, 2017 DivKidVideo

"Here's the performance video with VCOADSR from Modular Meets Leeds 2017. He gave us a killer dark and ambient techno set with pounding drums, deep dark textures, samples and an ever evolving arrangement through various riffs and themes. The rig rundown videos give us a chance to speak to the artists, check out their approach and gear talking about their performance and how they did it. VCOADSR performing a blinding modular techno set, that certainly in the room sounded like multi-tracked, produced, compressed and EQ'd electronic production. To get that level of sound design and production out of a small live set up was amazing.

VCOADSR was using Orthogonal Devices ER-101, ER-102 and ER-301, alongside a FEEDBACK pre amp, TipTop Audio One, custom 1U tiles, ALM Busy Circuits Pamela's New Workout, Noise Engineering's Loqulic Iteritas Percido, Doepfer A-124 Wasp Filter, TipTop Audio drum modules, Erica Synths PICO DSP, TipTop Audio Z-DSP, O'Tool, Intellijel Triatt, and the Model One Play Differently mixer.

QUASIMIDI THE RAVEN MAX Synthesizer 1996 | HD DEMO

Published on Sep 3, 2017 AnalogAudio1

"(c) 2017 by AnalogAudio1

I played the Quasimidi Raven without any additional effects or eq. All effects and sounds including the intro come from the Raven Max. I play mainly factory sounds.

The Raven was developed and produced by Quasimidi in Germany in 1996. It was not the first blue synth from Germany ;-). Quasimidi closed its doors in 2000. The Raven has 2 modes: 1. the PERFORMANCE mode, which allows you to combine 4 sounds with 2 effect processors, with arpeggiators to a "performance". 2. the SEQUENCER mode, where you can combine (preset) part patterns (for bass, sequencer, chord, drums...) to achieve new authentic electronica/techno styles. The 2 effect processors are editable and can be added to the single parts. Muting of single parts in realtime possible.

Later, the MAX expansion came out, which expanded the Raven with 1000 new sounds, 64 MB new sample material, new loops and motivs and new OS with new functions. Later Raven keyboards were sold exclusively with the MAX. The Max came out with its own 33 page manual to describe the new functions. And yes, it is possible to create own motivs and patterns, but the concept is clearly designed for the preset user.

Back in the day, the RAVEN was the only way to make techno tracks with one single keyboard, it was the first of its kind. Later, the big manufacturers took Quasimidi's concept further (or should I say they actually stole it?) - Yamaha with the QS300 and CS1x, Roland with the JX-305 Groovesynth, just to name a few.

From 8:15 it gets groovy ;-)"

Percussa Polyphonic Granular Processor Demo

Published on Sep 2, 2017 PERCUSSA

"learn more about the percussa SSP eurorack modulate kickstarter at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

In this video demo we use 4 granular processors, 4 envelope generators (ADSRs) and 2 LFOs (modulating granular selection window start/length).

We play the granular processors using a MIDI keyboard. The MIDI notes are automatically assigned to these "four voices". Each granular processor is modulated by its own ADSR envelope.

In the video I play with grain duration, grain frequency, selection window start and length. The granular processor uses a triangle window in this demo.

As you will notice you get interesting effects when each of the voices is using the same sample material but uses slightly different settings. The pitch, start position and length of the grains is randomized as well.

The sample used in the video is soundeffect_longtouch.mp3 by appdoc on freesound.org. Credit in the video."

Synth Diy Guy Featured Builder: Vinicius Brazil!

Published on Sep 2, 2017 Synth Diy Guy

"A visit and a chat with my partner and teacher Vinicius Brazil of VBrazil Modular.

Here´s a translation of our conversation:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/slwj5baadyx..."

" SYNTH DIY GUY - Featured Builder - Vinicius Brazil
Q - Hi Vinicius! V - Hi
Q - All good? V - All great!
Q - Tell us a little bit about your path, how you got started with electronics and music.
V - I arrived at electronics thanks to music. When I was a kid, 15 years old, I got my first guitar, and in Brazil it was very expensive to acquire guitar pedals. So I started to take some of my friends’ pedals and study their insides, this was in the 60 ́s, and from there I started making my own pedals. Copying at first, then creating muy own solutions. This got me excited and I went on to study Electronics and graduate college as an Electronic Engineer.
Q- Cool, and what kinds of pedals did you make at first?
V - All were guitar pedals. I started of course with fuzz and distortion, then on to more sophisticated things like flangers, phasers and delays. This was during the 70 ́s. In the end of the 70 ́s synthesizers started attracting me. That ́s when I built my first semi modular synth in 1978/79.
Q - Do you still have that synth?

How to repair faders on a vintage synthesizer

Published on Sep 1, 2017 Mike Sisk

"In this video I show how to repair faders (or slide potentiometers) that are used on many vintage analog synthesizers. The faders I am repairing are from a Roland SH-1 synthesizer but this same process will work on other types of faders from other manufactures as well. To do properly do this the faders must be individually desoldered from the board and opened up to clean the internal contacts. I do not recommend using the standard "contact cleaner" that you find at most hardware stores but instead recommend using the more expensive Deoxit cleaner from Ciag. I paid about $24 for a 2oz can of this cleaner which seems high but when working on an old vintage synth it totally turned to be worth every penny."

This is a a mixture of experimentation with the Behringer D as well as a jam session. In this example, I am using a MIDI sequencer from my Korg Radias while transposing the Behringer Model D from my polymoog using the 1V/Oct input on the Model D.

This jam was inspired by some music I heard from Kosmischer Laufer. You can find out more here: https://kosmischerlaufer.bandcamp.com...

Free Control Voltage 'Getting Into Modular' Series Workshops in Portland, OR

via Control Voltage

"Session 1: Next Wednesday, September 6th, 6-7pm, Free

We're super psyched to be restarting our basic synth classes this fall! This series is called Getting Into Modular, and is a set of recurring casual presentations that answers the questions we hear in the shop often "How do I get into modular synthesis?" or "Where do I even start!?!?". Each session is an hour in length with ample time for questions, meant to de-mystify the modular synthesizer module by module using the eurorack systems we have set up in our shop.

This is a great way to learn the basics of patching a modular synth, and to see if you're into the workflow and flexibility that an open-architecture synthesizer provides.
This first session is all about Sound Sources, and here’s an outline of the topics we’ll be discussing:

Generating Sound
Oscillators - Shape designer
Noise - Every frequency
Filters - Feedback loops
