ESK - Haken Continuum + Waldorf Kyra

video upload by Metunar

"The Haken Continuum Fingerboard as a Midi controller for an Waldorf Kyra synthesizers. This Continuum is a an old Midi only version. The sensitivity is not so good as the new ones.
The Waldorf Kyra is perfect in combination with the Haken because it updates all voices/multitimbral channels simultaneously while changing parameters. It has no MPE, but it is 8 channel multitimbral and so you can use it with every MPE controller. Only drawback, there are no global controllers (like modulationwheel), but with the Haken i don’t need them.
The pitchbend on the Kyra has only a range of 1 octave, which is not much, but for my use, it's enough. No external effects are used.

ESK - Akai MPC X with Beats FM Radio Loops

video upload by Metunar

"Here i made a kind of radio soundscape jam.
The Akai MPC X has 8 stereo audiotracks. I recorded into them some radio loops from the X Audio Systems Beats FM (Radio/Filter/Delay unit). The added drumbeat is from a Yamaha RX15 drumcomputer.
With the Q-Link encoders on the MPC X i control the level of the 8 audiotracks and some effects as well.
Direct stereo recording with mastering.

ESK - X Audio Systems Beats FM - Noise Radio

video upload by Metunar

"The X Audio Systems Beats FM is a radio with analog filter, digital delay and a LFO. It is really noisy and some functions are not well implemented, but it makes a lot of fun to compose out of little radio excerpts a crazy soundscape. All noise, distortion, crackles and hiss are coming from the Beats FM, without any additional effect. Hope you like this 13 minutes of madness."

ESK - Waldorf Kyra 8 Layer Patch

video upload by Metunar

"I made 2 Waldorf Kyra Synthesizer demos with 8 layer patches. It’s the same single sound on all layer, but with different detune and pan settings. First you hear the single sound solo, then the 8 layer patch of this sound. I also show how easy you can chance parameters on one layer which is then directly effecting all layers. So the Kyra you can use as MPE synthesizer, even if MPE is not implemented.
All sounds and FX are from the Kyra.
Live recording without mastering.

"Last track of my Modular Synthesizer Live Set from 2022.
There are 2 more tracks of this project, but i skiped the video for them.

Project = Fresh Paint
Song = Track 08
Stile = Some kind of Electro.
Setup = The Dave Rossum sampler Assimil8or plays 8 loops with different length. In the modular i mix these loops live together and add some effects. For the voice track i used a C64 Sam speech software emulation.
This set can also be used with a quadrophonic PA.

ESK - Osmose with Digitone or Microwave

"Short Demo with the Expressive E Osmose synthesizer in Midi mode. Not with MPE but with the multi channel setup. No sound from the Osmose, only from the external synth.
I tried different synths (GS Music e7, Tasty Chips GR-1, EMU Virtuoso 2000) together with the Osmose but only with the Elektron Digitone and Waldorf Microwave i got in a short time good results.
Direct recording without mastering.
