Perplex On - Polyscope (Ambient Electro feat. iPhone)

Perplex On
Published on Aug 6, 2017

"This is a musicvideo inspired by the fact that i had to travel a lot by train over the last years. Most of the time i use this time to calm down, reflecting, sorting thoughts, watching the landscape passing by and being somehow fascinated by the omnipresent clash between the organic, natural environment and the distracting, abstract, artifical forms and evolving transformations of the human infrastructure.

Tech Info: Filmed with an iPhone 5S, edited with Premiere Pro. Music made on an iPhone in one take using the following apps: Poly, iVCS3, Animoog, Amazing Noises Reverb"

Perplex On: My Favorite Microfreak Patches (incl. Firmware 3.0)

video by Perplex On

"I revisited the #microfreak​ after he chilled on a shelf for some time. The recent firmware update introduced some nice new sound engines as well as new patches. I'd like to show you some of the patches I particularly enjoyed. Some of them are stock presets and some are modified ones or own creations. All in all I’m still intrigued by the sonic range the microfreak has to offer. Added a pinch of reverb and compression (Enventide Blackhole and FAC Maximizer on the iPad). Served with projection mappings to distract from my poor playing. Enjoy!"

JAMUARY 2024: AFXStation Style Sequencing On iOS

video upload by Perplex On

"I tried to replicate the #afxmode found on the #afxstation and #bassstation2 but on iOS. Therefore i created a simple #mozaicscript that translates each incoming note to a program change value while maintaining a basic C regardless of the pressed note. This way i can trigger different patches by pressing notes on the keyboard. Here demonstrated with #zeeonsynth and #riffer to create random sequences on the fly. With a little basic drum support from #hammerhead.

You can get the script here:

PLAYDATE Granular Explorations On A Rainy Day

video upload by Perplex On

"I've recently finally received my playdate after more than 2 years of waiting. Besides the nice retro games, there are also a few audiovisual apps already out there, which makes the device way more exciting. First stop here is an app called Granular by Orllewin, inspired by an old Reaktor instrument called Travelizer. It is an experimental granular sampler which splits a sample (recorded via its internal mic, via external mic with trrs splitter on the headphone jack or in this case, an imported custom sample) into 5 tracks with various granular controls and separate fx.

This and more cool apps by the dev:
https://orllewin.itch.io/"

"Granular is an experimental 'grain sampler' for Playdate that plays subsamples from a recorded parent sample, it's inspired by the old Reaktor 'Travelizer' instrument. Granular includes various modifiable parameters and effects to change the sound which produces beautiful glitchy ambience that can be used on its own or as a background for other instruments.

You really need headphones or to connect to a speaker - this will not sound good through the Playdate's tiny built-in speaker.

You don't have rigid control over the playback, most options not related to effects/filters increase or decrease the probability of something happening, either a change in playback rate, or how regular the samples are triggered, it's all fairly random.

Generally 'A' selects and navigates, 'B' closes and pops the stack back to the previous location, everything should be intuitive with a little exploration. Granular operates on probabilities; when you select 'jump' or 'rev.' (reverse) or other parameters you're telling the underlying engine to allow the possibility of that happening each cycle."

LOFI SYNTAKT (Feat. Fugue Machine + UA Silo)

video upload by Perplex On

"#Jamuary2023 day 22: #Syntakt meets #fuguemachine and #ualofiaf today! Fuguemachine is sequencing Syntakt with every note on being randomly distributed over the first 8 channels on the Syntakt using #polythemus as a little helper. This is kind of a workaround to play chords on the Syntakt by playing multiple channels at the same time. Added delay with #k7d and routed through UA lo-fi-af it literally gets into lofi territory 😊 Added projectionmapped visuals on top!"

Perplex On Spherical DIY Midi Controller
