Absynth Single Sine experiments

Published on Aug 7, 2018 Empty Vessel - Sound Design

"Exploring how much can be done with Absynth using only a single sine wave source.
Using the delay line in the Aetheriser to produce the rhythmic plucked line and step envelopes to change the pitch of the Aetheriser grains.
Audio straight from Absynth standalone, no post-processing or external FX.

'Pandora' - Absynth FX patches coming soon."

Unfiltered Audio Spec Ops

EmptyVessel
Published on Aug 3, 2017

"Exploring the subtler side of Spec Ops, the 'Ultimate Spectral Processor' on its way from Unfiltered Audio.
This preset I've called 'My God it's full of Stars'

Although highly capable of mangling audio beyond recognition I've used it here to add a pitch-shift up one octave using Stretch, subtle pitch wobble using Slide controlled by an LFO, higher frequency artifacts and texture and generally lots of movement with the LFOs modulating many parameters and also their own - and others - frequency. You can see the dry/wet knob moving and hear the effected and unaffected pad I made in Absynth. A little mellow Vintageverb rounds out the effect.

The possibilities with this effect are huge!

Korg Gadget jam 24 "Point 'n' Click"

Published on Jun 16, 2017 Hank Astral

"All sounds from Korg gadget and some of my favourite point n click games

https://discchord.com/

HOW I ARRANGE: After I've created a loop that I like I just launch/mute tracks and tweak parameters rather than consciously lay everything out. This way the whole process stays fun which for me is the key. I may do a more detailed tutorial on this.

With all the gear options out there I also like sticking with one program and Korg gadget is perfect for what I want to do. If you don't know what it is here is my own overview:

Korg gadget is a complete IPAD electronic music workstation - like a propellerhead's Reason for mobile.
To make music you just pick any of the following 'gadgets' from within the program and start composing:
Drum machines/Drum Samplers
London: drum sound module Gadget designed specifically for dance music but with the right FX can fit any style really. Has 8 Tracks.
