Octatrack Meets the XOR NerdSEQ: 24 Patterns of Pure Nostalgic Bliss

video by EZBOT

"This was my live performance for Basement State on 6/4/21. I built a template for the Octatrack that was a mix of live resampling/fx-box and a typical drum machine. The music is very cheerful, someone in chat said the music was an "anti-depressant." I played with Red Means Recording, Project 32, and Herr Shield. Amazing performances all around. If you want to know more about my setup, thought process, and writing style for this performance please visit my Patreon for in depth discussions on this performance and others.

5:28 My Change Machine
11:08 Raiden
16:55 Token Loss

Summary:
NerdSeq sequenced the modular voices (24 patterns)
Octatrack sent clock and transport to NerdSeq.
Octatrack Sequenced drums and performed resampling/fx (22 patterns, 3 parts, and 2 banks)"

Nerdseq-XOR Electronics/Vermona-TwinCUSSION/Pico System 2-Erica Synths Live modular electronica

Published on Jun 21, 2018 Dziam Bass

"Hi Guys.
I have a small movie in which I sequenced everything using Nerdseq from XOR Electronics, I used the VCO from Pico System 2 -Erica Synths and the second voice from Pico VOICE, the drums I used with Vermona-TwinCUSSION-drum module .
Nerdseq is great because it has up to 64 steps and each pattern can be of a different length - it is based on Tracker so the same principle of operation but with cv / trigger inputs and samples that read from the SD card.
it's a very powerful sequencer - it allows up to 176 patterns for 64 steps. while working with samples built-in several effects like distorion, bitcrusher, delay and others-this is really crazy thing."

Morphagene as a Stepping Stone of the Creative Process

"In this video, Hélène Vogelsinger uses the Morphagene in combination with her voice to create the foundation of a whole piece.

She starts with a simple rhythmic and tonal vocal pattern, that then evolves into deep and grainy textures.

"DELTA SOUND LABS ORIGAMI

The Delta Sound Labs Origami is a skiff-friendly Eurorack adaptation of the much-loved Timbre circuit found in the original Buchla Music Easel. It's an essential module for West Coast synthesis, and though it pairs especially well with simple waveforms such as sine and triangle waves, this famous circuit is a wellspring of interesting harmonic content regardless of audio input.

ORIGAMI FEATURES

Wavefolder based on Buchla Music Easel Timbre circuit
Dedicated offset for fold amount
CV input for fold amount with attenuator"

"DELTA SOUND LABS SABER

The Saber from Delta Sound Labs is a loving 21st-century recreation of the famed Oberheim SEM state-variable filter. It features all the fatness and grit of the original filter, along with discreet low-pass, band-pass, and hi-pass outputs, in a compact, skiff-friendly design.

SABER FEATURES

Filter based on Oberheim SEM
Dedicated controls for Cutoff, Resonance, Input Level

Anamnesis (4/4) - The Lake

video upload by Hélène Vogelsinger

"A n a m n e s i s ( 4 / 4 )

The Lake

The creation of the lake, 73 years earlier,
led to the flooding of the agricultural land
of the village's inhabitants.

Thus pushing them to leave their home,
where many generations have succeeded
one another since the twelfth century.

The resistance fighters were expropriated;
sealing the fate of these centuries of history.

Although devastated, the village is not part of the past,
and there are still a few lineages to bear witness to its
past existence.The descendants of the last farmer live
among the ruins, and we can still hear the sound of life
in the distance.

"Anamnesis (3/4)

The Temple ⛪

At the top of the village stands the church, one of the remnants that has been most spared by time. Built in the 11th century, it is made of heavy stones. Within these stones, centuries of history have accumulated.

Centuries of faith and hope; the sustenance of the pilgrim; those that propel forward but do not eliminate obstacles and do not offer a definitive abode.

Although devastated, the village is not part of the past,
and there are still a few lineages to bear witness to its
past existence.The descendants of the last farmer live

✨ 👁️ ✨ 👁️ ✨

Anamnesis is a 4-episode series which
immerses us in an ancestral story.
A story about a village and its inhabitants.
A story of resistance and its inescapable faith.

‘All ideas about the past, the present and the
future were shaped and made meaningful by
beliefs and expectations related to the End Times.

The final battle between good and evil and
the down of a new, divine order to death,
divine judgment and eternal afterlife’.

Sending you much Light

and love. But the greatest of these is love. »

Wavetable fun with 4VOX-Flame/Preset-Polyend/Nerdseq/Quadigy-Klavis

Dziam Bass

"Waves, Wavetable, Wavetables and amazing module 4 VOX -Quad Polyphonic Wavetable VCO from Flame instruments
So ..why I love wavetbales you have in this movie, it allows me to have a larger spectrum of sounds than the analog oscillators themselves.

Here the Preset from Polyend module changes wavetables for one VCO from 4vox. in one VCO I used 2 voices, second vco to bass sound.🙃😀

Preset module also changes slightly the envelope from Quadigi from Klavis to this added drums as you hear.
Everything sequenced by Nerdseq from Xor electronics .

Flame has many options because you have built-in LFO in this module, and rewriting modulation for CV 1 and CV 2 but in the menu you can set for example CV 1 for changing octaves, which gives you plenty of possibilities.

You have also sclaes, chords ,semitones and detune or portamento.👌👌🔥🔥

Each VCO in 4 VOX has its own 4 voices and in each voice you have another 64 wavetables which can also be used for power sound or turn-in CV for the built-in MORPH function.

This is a damn extensive module and I described only one of the VCO uses, here you have as many as 4 in total 16 polyphonic voices.👈 😁

Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day !!"

Piano Phase sequenced on the NerdSEQ

Published on Feb 3, 2019 XOR Electronics

"This is the well known Piano Phase originally by Steve Reich (1967) played on XOR Electronics NerdSEQ Eurorack sequencer.

It starts with the same pattern (00) playing 2 simple voices on 2 tracks. Each step of the 12 note long sequence needs 32 clock pulses to get to the next step. While playing i clone one pattern (00) into a new one (01). Pattern 01 contains now the same sequence. In Pattern 01 I change the groove setting from 32 (W) to 31 (V), so this step needs only 31 clock pulses instead of 32. You can see the decimal number right below. So now this pattern 01 on track 2 plays slightly faster than Pattern 00 on track 1.

Introducing The Bastl Midilooper

Bastl Instruments

Price excluding tax: 239€ - comes to $283.44. Pics with press release below.

"Midilooper is a device that listens to MIDI messages (control information about notes, dynamics and other parameters) and loops them in a similar way an audio looper would loop pieces of audio. However, loops of MIDI messages remain in the control domain, which means a lot of other processes can happen on top of them - timbre modulation, envelope adjustments etc.

"Bastl is more than excited to announce the Midilooper! Rather than being a sequencer, it is a device inspired by audio looper style workflow with a really fast, performative, single gesture interface.
Looping is a blazing fast way of music making and looping in the control signal domain is a key feature that allows for all remaining parameters of your device to be tweaked and modulated on top of the looped sequence... or MIDI CC looped!

Midilooper has been in development for over 3 years and several iterations of the control interface and connectivity have been extensively tested within the context of a live performance. It has the ability to bring a live setup or a studio to new life and make you explore your gear in a refreshing, hands–on manner.
Midilooper can be synchronised to MIDI or analog clock and it can also run on its own (tap tempo/free running). It has 3 voices that can each be assigned to a different MIDI channel, allowing it to control and loop 3 individual units of gear. Each voice can be individually recorded, muted, overdubbed, or cleared.

Midilooper also offers some basic processing of the recorded information: transposition, velocity locking and shifting, quantisation, shuffle, humanisation (random variations of velocity), adjusting the length of the loop, or doubling and halving of playback speed.

In addition, it features CV and trigger inputs for seamless integration with modular synths: reset, retrigger, velocity, and transpose. It can also be controlled with foot pedals.

Stay tuned to Bastl Instruments YouTube channel for more walkthrough videos. Price excluding tax: 239€
Shipping to dealers now.

Features:
• 3 independent voices (each has MIDI channel assigned) • overdub/overwrite

Sequenced Jam #192 (w/ Noise Engineering Desmodus Versio)

Rheyne

"Some more experiments with lighting controlled by the modular synth. The main synth voices are from a Steady State Fate ZPO through a Noise Engineering Desmodus Versio, and an Instruo Ts-L through a Strymon Magneto. Bass is from a Roland SYS-510, the piano is from a 1010music Bitbox Micro, and percussion is from an SSF Entity BDS, Noise Engineering LIP, and the Bitbox Micro. All sequencing was done with the NerdSEQ.

All audio was sent to Ableton through a pair of outs on an Expert Sleepers ES-9 to trigger the lights with an Enttec DMXIS. The piano was played through the outs on the ES-9 and into the Bitbox Micro, and is triggered manually as a stereo sample. Recorded in one take with no overdubs."
