Model:Samples does Amiga Tracker Music - Crystal Hammer

Published on May 1, 2019 tubesockor

"Recreating the classic Commodore Amiga tracker song 'Crystal Hammer' - on an Elektron Model:Samples. The song was originally written by Karsten Obarski back in 1987.

The first section is a background story about Amiga and trackers in general, as well as the process on how this recreation was done.

All the sounds were converted from the original ST-01 files, and the song data was manually input on the Model:Samples, only using four out of the six available channels (all for the sake of authenticity)

At 3:25, the music starts.

This was made possible thanks to the new firmware update 1.02A, which allows samples to be parameter locked."

Elektron Model:Samples Update At Synthplex 2019

Published on Apr 3, 2019 Synthtopia

"At SynthPlex 2019, Elektron introduced an update to their Model:Samples, which adds per-step Sample Locks.

We talked with Elektron's Mario Hernandez, who gave us a quick demo of how Sample Locks work on the Model:Samples."

Getting Started with the Model:Samples

video upload by EZBOT

"In this video we use the factory content to build a track from scratch. This video is meant to serve as a tutorial for the Model:Samples as well as the foundation for a song. This tutorial is aimed at people who are new to the Elektron workflow or just picked up a Model:Samples and want to jump right into making music.

Elektron Model:Samples patched thru Boredbrain Transmutron & Eurorack

Published on Feb 28, 2019 Boredbrain Music

"We snagged the new Elektron Model:Samples and decided to beef it up using the Boredbrain Transmutron's FX loops patched out through a slew of eurorack processing. A simple pattern was programmed and, alongside many CV modulations, some real-time tweaking created a fun dynamic jam.

Cool things happening in this patch:

- The Transmutron's two Euro FX returns are used to receive mixed stereo cacophony of parallel effects (and synth line) to convert back to line-level for recording, after first passing through the Boss Roland RE-20 Space Echo.

- A Boredbrain SPLIX is used to mix two different control voltage signals into the Transmutron CV for modulation of the crossover frequency splitpoint

- The low frequencies are processed in parallel with the Recovery Effects Motormatic and the 2HP Comb Filter, the latter has its resonance modulated by one channel of the Make Noise Maths, triggered every 7 gates of the synth line, counted by the Adventure Audio Count module.

- Model:Samples Track 6 is sequencing the Mother-32 to create the synth line, which is octave doubled by the Noise Reap Bermuda oscillator, then run through the Recovery Effects Cutting Room Floor"

Sampler trick: how to create multi-length “tape loops” (shown on Digitakt/Model Samples by Elektron)

4:45 Adding effects
5:25 Rhythmic phasing
7:35 More ideas

"This video explains a neat little sampler trick that lets you create music by *ignoring* a sampler’s sequencer.

In the early 60’s groundbreaking composer Steve Reich (https://www.stevereich.com/) pioneered the technique of using different length tape loops (and later musical patterns) in composition. The idea is that two short loops, either identical but one slightly shorter than the other, or completely different, drift in and out of phase to create textures, patterns and rhythms that weren’t there before. This tape loop technique is used by William Basisnki (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5s-K... ) to create wonderful sonic soundscapes, and in the lovely “Walkman Symphony” by Amulets (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVon_...)

In this video I replicate the experience digitally by using a little trick which ignores the sequencer on modern day samplers, in order to create similar multi-length loop textures and patterns.

It turns out some samplers (like Elektron Digitakt and Model:Samples shown in this video) will let sample-loops play continuously, regardless of whether the sequencer is active or not . As long as you DON’T use the built-in sequencer to retrigger the samples, and you create different length loops, the samples will loop in and out of phase with each other and recreate the phasing tape loop experience quite nicely. In these particular samplers, all the effects and LFOs are still fully functional despite the sequencer not running, so you can use them while your loops are running.

A huge thanks to Yehezkel Raz for turning me on to these composers and for playing the sample you hear in the Digitakt portion of this beautiful Danksi song:

Door #8: The Little Drummer Boy - Synthmas '21

video upload by Synthfluencer

"Ho-Ho-Ho! This is Synthmas '21, the virtual calendar presenting a Christmas carol played by synthesizers - every day from 1st to 24th of December.

The song:
The American Christmas carol was composed by Katherine K. Davis in 1941 titled 'The Carol of the Drum'. It might trace to a czech carol 'Hajej, nynjej'. Countless cover versions were done by famous artists, including Ray Charles, Neil Diamond, Jimi Hendrix and Joan Baez. The song tells the story of a poor boy giving his drum play as a gift to the new born Jesus.

The gear:
The song is played by the Electron Model:Samples. Groove box might be the best description for this sample-based instrument. Samples can be arranged in 6 tracks. The pattern based sequencer can contain up to 4.096 steps (per "project" or song). I divided the songs into 10 different patterns that I switch by hand. Bass drum is a factory sample, snare drum is a sample from a 909. For the bass and lead voice/s I used factory samples of square and sawtooth waves with some filter modulation. On Model:Samples there are some neat sound manipulation features: the drum roll is created with a retrig function. The pitch of a sample can variate trig (= step) -wise, thus melodies can be formed on one and the same track.
