Escape - Live hardware jam with Sequential Take 5 + Ableton Move

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"Back to another 2 minute jam (less or more ☺️).

This session features the Sequential Take 5 playing live chord progressions in real time through the Eventide H90: First section = Tape effect
Second section = + Aggravate distortion for a more industrial impact 😎🤘

The Ableton Move handles the Drums, Bass and Plucks.

There’s no MIDI sync or sequencing between the devices here as the Take 5 chords are performed live throughout the jam.

Hardware used:

// DRUMS, BASS, PLUCKS:
Ableton Move (Groovebox).
Track 1 🥁 = Drum Rack (homemade drum kit),
Track 2 🎸 = BASS Wavetable synth,
Track 3 🎹 = PLUCKS Wavetable synth,
Track 4 🥁 = Audio track (a couple of percussion loops)

// 🎹 PADS:
Sequential Take 5 (5-voice analog synth) + Eventide H90"

Filter Anime by Max for Cats

video upload by max forcats

"Max for Cats crafts Software Instruments, Effects, MIDI devices, Sound Design and Samples for Ableton Live."

via max forcats

"An animated 8-band resonant filter bank inspired by the classic Moog MuRF, reimagined for Max for Live. Rhythmic pattern morphing, stereo motion, analog-style PWM sweep modulation, and dynamic envelope response transform any input into evolving spectral movement — from subtle animated filtering to deeply expressive rhythmic textures.

The device combines a playable pattern engine with touch-responsive filter animation, per-band drive, analog drift, and performance-oriented controls. Designed as both a creative sound shaper and a musical modulation instrument, it turns static audio into living motion with character, depth, and groove."

Twenties - Hybrid Setup Jam (Analog + Move)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"This one’s built around two main pieces of gear: the Vermona Perfourmer handling nearly all melodic duties (bass, plucks, lead), and the Ableton Move taking care of drums plus a few piano/strings layers.

You already know the Perfourmer is one of my all-time favorites, but the Move keeps surprising me: super versatile for a 4-track box, and I feel like it doesn’t get as much love as it deserves ❤️

Everything is sequenced from the Hapax, I skipped the Move’s internal sequencer this time as it's easier to control all the sequences only on one machine. The breaks come from the Hapax 'FILL' feature as usual.

I treated the Perfourmer like three separate instruments:
Voices 1 & 2 → plucks (through H90)
Voice 3 → bass (Apocalypse + Julianna)
Voice 4 → lead (Lofi Junky + BigSky + Pill for ducking)"

Ableton Move - Kasser Arcade TRS MIDI jam

video upload by Arman Bohn

"You can find my devices here: https://distropolisgoods.com/

Last weekend at the Portland synth expo, several people asked me if my little USB-C to TRS-A MIDI adapter (cantrip) would work with the Ableton Move. I had just purchased and received my Move a couple of days before and had not even thought of trying it out.

I’m running the current beta of the Move and the cantrip seems to be working just fine.

My Kasser Arcade only has MIDI DIN - so it was a likely candidate to test.

The cantrip is the tiny clear box in between the Arcade on the left and the Move on the right."

TEAR - Experimental jam #31 // Vhikk X, Moog Subharmonicon, Bitbox

video upload by David Falcon

"Testing this battery powered mobile setup. The Palette case can be powered via powerbank and with the Bitbox micro I can record within the Modular case itself, without the need of any other equipment. The idea behind it is to take it outside to some special places to record, and maybe add some field recordings in the background.

I finally got to try the Vhikk X after a while trying to get one. The first few hours with it I was not very inspired by it, but kept digging and found this small melody that felt pretty emotional. Ironically the drone bass did not come from the Vhikk, but instead from my favorite, the Subharmonicon.

The Bitbox is here because it can do a lot in such small footprint. It is a sampler in the classic sense, but also is acting as a pseudo-Radio Music module with a radio sample I found, and also is recording the whole piece directly like the 4ms Wav Recorder.

In Ableton I added later on a bit of compression and EQ to even out the sounds.

I have published the first ALBUM that is acompilation of songs, some from this year and some older called "Hipotese". It is available in the streaming platforms and bandcamp. Go check it out!

// Patch notes //
Moog Subharmonicon - Drone Bass, modulated from Pam's New Workout
Forge TME Vhikk X - Melody, sequenced from Oxi One and processed with a LPG in the Disting mk4.
1010 Music Bitbox Micro - Synth, piano and radio samples. Records the whole mix that comes out from the Befaco Output Bus. This is what makes the setup truly portable."

First Steps with OXI One MKII / EP. 9: Multitrack Mode on rhythms

video upload by OXI Instruments

First Steps with OXI One series

"Multitrack mode is one of the most powerful features of the OXI One.
In this video, I’ll show you how to sequence and control 8 tracks at the same time, build drum patterns, and use generators and randomization to create evolving rhythms.

Multitrack essentially gives you 8 sequencers in one — once you understand it, it becomes an incredibly fast and creative way to build complete rhythmic ideas.
In the next video, we’ll explore melodic sequencing with Multitrack."

Audio Rate Modulation on a Prophet 6 Analog Synth

Catch the full episode with Marcus Wiles:

EP #106: Prophet 6 Hardware Synth Rig with Marcus Wiles #prophet6 #worshipkeys

video upload by The Worship Keys

"This episode focuses on synthesizers with a deep dive on Marcus Wiles’ Sequential Prophet-6, while also thanking sponsor Aerospace Audio and highlighting their Arrow Pads app and Atmosphere Pads pedal features, sound packs, pricing, and routing ideas with Ableton. Marcus explains why he chose the Prophet-6, how its simplicity and poly mod section shaped his synth programming, and why hardware can feel more like an instrument. He demonstrates practical sound-design concepts that translate to any synth or Omni sphere, including using unison and stereo spread versus chorus, preparing patches for mono or stereo systems, shaping sounds with envelopes to turn a basic patch into bass, plucks, brass, and an 808-style sound, adding texture with audio-rate modulation and effects (including distortion after reverb), and using the Prophet-6 sequencer for writing inspiration. The episode ends with a call for viewers to submit their own key rigs and a teaser for the next episode on the Nord Stage 4."
