The Ax Ambient

"I just picked up an ax-60. I started by making some pads with it last night and then sync-ed it to ableton today to get some trigger arpeggiators and banged out this footwork-laced ambient track. This thing is amazing. All synth sounds come from the board."

thomas white triple lpg meets synthrotek voice of saturn

Published on Jun 17, 2014 caleb condit·67 videos

"this is a row of modules I just finished up soldering together and decided it was time to jam.
it's modular+akai ax-60+volca beats
also the akai at the end got run through a megaohm audio ma20 korg style filter with modulation as I was getting a bit of a feedback/ground hum and it took out the high frequency noise quite nicely and added in it's own little bit of white noise from the gain stage."

Let this one develop. There are some really nice timbres in it.

"This is day one of me messing with my system after trading out my tempest for a small euro rack system. The Rene is sequencing the z3000 and 3 dotcom oscillators and there's a bunch of modulation going on with the clock and the filters. I'm really excited to have this full spectrum of sound as both systems show their strength and support each other quite nicely.

I filmed this all with a 5dmkii that I tried to hold steady but the shallow depth of field and close focus limitations led to quite a few "artistic" moments :)"

stg voltage controlled switch

Published on Mar 9, 2016 caleb condit

"The talking stops at 4 min so skip forward if you just want to listen to the track. I'm demonstrating how voltage controlled switching and morphing can really bring a ton of movement to a patch. The STG voltage controlled switch I'm using is the prototype rev2 and rev3 is apparently being built right now and hopefully thats the last round and they'll start shipping soon. This product has been years in the making"

Vermona DRM mk3 / analog drum / DUB DEMO

YouTube Published on Aug 30, 2012 by caleb condit

"I'll have a full write up on this synth up at beepbloop.com. I just noticed that there's not very much on this drum synth so I messed around with it for a half hour and am bringing you the tastiest bits. It's typically pretty overlooked in general, but is incredibly capable of all types of tones. I pushed it pretty far into tonal territory for this demo, but I'll follow up with some demos on creating typical analog drum tones.

It's a bit softer edged than some of the vintage roland classics, but that makes it really good for dub and more experimental pieces. Also the tonal parts make it really great for trap, moombahton and other harder genres or things like IDM. There are separate outs for each sound and I really could have run each one to my mixer to for maximum quality to get specific compression for each tone, etc, but for this demo I wanted something more loose and fuzzy.

I do push the mixer pretty hard at moments but I like what it does to the sound. I sequenced the beat on an electribe ER-1, to utilize the classic XOX style sequencing and ran it through an Electro Harmonix Memory Man with Hazarai to get a bit of ambience and the last clip also has a bit of beat repeat in Ableton that I forgot to take off.

Surprisingly the rhythm is the same throughout, but I just tweaked tones to show that even with something fairly unchanging, by just tweaking tones you can really do so much with this module and just faded volume knobs to bring parts in and out. The output works in an interesting way, where the different tones seem to fight each other a bit for what sits on top at times, and it's really nice. Very different from many things I've tried."

poncho villa vs the matrix Juno6 + modular + minibrute

Published on Feb 7, 2013 caleb condit·32 videos

"5u moog format modular, a juno 6 and arturia minibrute daytime improvisation. sorry if the EQ is slightly off, I didn't have the headphone jack up high enough on my mixer that was sending audio to my camera's input and I had to EQ out some noise. The layered video is some footage I made with some artists I teach at nearby art center. This was from a matrix re-edit that we ran through a feedback loop"

Alpha Juno 1 vs. Juno 6

Published on Nov 29, 2012 by caleb condit

"I'm comparing these two synths, and also illustrating using the VCF (filter frequency) external control and controlling the arpeggiator clock with a xoxbox that synced to ableton to keep the Juno 6 in time with my DAW without using any midi.

This isn't meant to be an artistic thing, more of just showing what these two synths can do technically. Hit me up with any questions you have in the comments.
