Arturia MiniBrute vs. AtomoSynth Mochika XL Dark Side.

Published on Dec 16, 2012 by Robert Shipe

"The MiniBrute is being sequenced by the Mochika XL via CV/Gate. I go through all the waves and then I start mixing them. Also running Control Voltage from an Analogue Solutions Telemark-K into the MiniBrute's Amp. I'm also messing with the CV-Gate and Swing from the MochikaXL. 100% analog. I also used my Mackie Mixer, an M-Audio 610 Octane Pre-Amps, BBE Sonic Maximizer and Lexicon Reverb. Tannoy/M-Audio monitors and a Peavey KB amp."

Arturia MiniBrute LFO Demo Session.

Published on Dec 22, 2012

"Arturia MiniBrute's LFO demo. Jamming on the sine-wave, triangle-wave and sawtooth-wave. The MB's LFO is routed to the Mod-Wheel. I just tried to focus on the LFO. If I had to compare the Arturia MiniBrute to other analog synths I'd have to say it's a mix between a Roland SH-101 and a KORG MS-20 with a whole lot of modern analog sounds. It's very clean on single waveforms and waveform mixes w/o any oscillator add-ons. Once you turn on the Super-Saw or Metalizer or PWM it becomes extremely dirty and if you turn the sub-oscillator on it gets downright nasty. Then you have the Brute Factor which is like over-driving a Moog's filter but it's all internalized and all you have to do is twist a knob instead of doing all the wiring. It's a truly awesome synthesizer that can easily hang with it's big brothers and sometimes surpass them. Especially if you want a modern sound that you can actually use in tracks. Super-tight envelopes with a solid filter that's Bandpass is almost as good as it's Lowpass. Really good synthesizer."

Dueling LFO's. AS Telemark-K S+H LFO with a Doepfer Dark Energy Triangle/Square LFO into the CVO1.

Published on Jul 9, 2013 Robert Shipe·18 videos

"Experimental LFO jam.

You're hearing this on a massive 60 Watt mono Peavey Synth-Amp and two pairs of studio monitors(Tannoy/M-Audio). I'm running my heavily patched out Analogue Solutions Telemark-K using it's own S+H (Sample and Hold) LFO and a Doepfer Dark Energy's LFO 1, a Triangle and Square LFO as well as it's Envelope Out into the Tele's VCA. The Doepfer's LFO is running into the Telemark's VCO 1. I'm sweeping the Lowpass Filter and tweaking the Pulse-Widths/PWMs, Envelope Generator 1/2, MOD Source, Key Control, Tune and other parameters. It's gets pretty nuts pretty quick. I had no idea what they were going to do together it came out pretty cool. Thing goes crazy!!!"

AI bytebeat Sequencer

Published on Jul 1, 2017 Robert Shipe

"Using the 'Age' equation in o_C's Viznutcracker, sweet! mode to sequence the STO. Sounded gnarly for a single oscillator so I whipped out my iPhone and recorded a bit. The numerous equations can really be put to use, not only as drones but strange LFOs and wilder modulators. Each one has its own 'personality.'"

DSI Prophet 12/MoPho "Crimson Tide" Dark-Ambient/Experimental Live-Session.

Published on Oct 2, 2013 Robert Shipe·23 videos

"The MoPho is synthesizing a drum beat while I play pads/chords on the Prophet 12. Audio tracked in Ableton 9 with Focusrite preamps and A/D/A conversion into the DAW. I also layered the room's audio which is two sets of monitors and a Peavey amp. I used a Sustain pedal to free up my hands to tweak the knobs."

Proverbial KRELL Patch. Generative Modular.

"All credit goes to Mr. Todd Barton and Mr. Tony Rolando for their wonderful vids/tutorials on how to create this cool patch. I learned more about modulate-able/looping EGs/Slope Generators/Function Generators from this patch than anything else I've done. I like to throw together some Krell at least twice a year. If you haven't tried it please check out these videos below and give it a shot!"

Roland JP-08 Sequencer. Oscillators & Cross Modulation.

Published on Dec 20, 2015 Robert Shipe

"Quick demo of the Roland JP-08's two oscillator waveforms, including VCO two's low-frequency sub-oscillators and cross modulation. I also do some quick mods, PWM and filters. Everything is running internally off the JP's sequencer. This is a very cool little piece of kit with some large sounds. I didn't even go into its LFO or Envelopes amongst so many other things). Great synth."

Delayed Generation Soundscape. DSI Prophet 12 Looping EGs.

Published on Nov 3, 2016 Robert Shipe

"DSI Prophet 12 generative/experimental electronic soundscape. I will hold (sustain pedal) one or two notes and tweak the hell out of the P12. You can take one sound so many places. It is fun to see what happens and what kind of happy accidents or new discoveries you'll come across. I am using all 4 delays with 3 Looping Envelopes (VCA/VCF/Drive) to create this alien-sounding piece. Both the P12's HP & LP filters were also used quite a bit. You can really feed the 4 tap delays for some very unique sounds.

Tracked in Ableton Live 9 with Waves API 550B EQ, Waves Aphex Aural Exciter and SKNote's Empirical Labs EL7 in the channel strip. Also used Reaktor 6 FX and Native Instrument's RC 48 Royal Studio Hall Reverb, Alesis and Lexicon rack units. Mackie mixer into a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40."

MiniBrute Waveform Oscilloscope Demo in Ableton

Published on Jul 13, 2013 Robert Shipe·19 videos

"Arturia MiniBrute Waveform/Wave-Mixer Demonstration. I go from the Saw/SuperSaw to the Square/PWM and then to the Triangle/Metalizer. It's pretty easy to see the waveforms being folded by their Add-Ons. Then I close the filter and turn on the BruteFactor. The Arturia MiniBrute's analog-waveforms are sequenced off an ATOMOSYNTH Mochika XL CV/Gate Step-Sequencer. 100% analog into the mixer. The sequencer is running the MiniBrute via CV/Gate. I used the Smart Electronics scope and some plugins to boost the decibels a bit. I run through all the waveforms with the Filter and Resonance wide open then I start to close the filter and using the "BruteFactor" on the MiniBrute and all the other waveform folders. It's cool to see the actual waves folding when I increase the Metalizer or UltraSaw or PWM on each waveform. Badass synthesizer. Also run through some outboard gear,Lexicon MX200, BBE SonicMaximizer, M-Audio 610 FireWire A/D/A and a Mackie ProFX12 Mixer."

Vult DSP Freak Manifold Lateralus Sequence

Published on Feb 26, 2020 Robert Shipe

"Vult DSP Freak Manifold Lateralus (Moog Ladder Filter digital model 6, 12, 8 and 24dB options). You can throw a lot of modulation at it. Sounds gnarly, behaves a bit differently than an analog filter too. MI Plaits tri/saw/square/sync sequenced by Arturia KeyStep/Mutable Yarns. Modulated by a Blue Lantern Digital ADSR and Phobos Lunar LFO. Quantized by o_C Meta-Q. When I have the time I'll try to do a short vid for each filter model. Like usual I decided it sounded neat so I recorded it spontaneously. Very fun, cool, inspired filter.

Telemark K (SEM) Filter Demo/AKAI MPK49 MPC Pads/Ableton/MIDI.

Published on Jul 2, 2013 Robert Shipe·17 videos

"Running through my AKAI MPK's four pad banks (from A to D). They sound and play differently than the keys it's pretty cool, think they're assigned more Swing/Groove/Portamento. I noticed something extremely cool starting to happen @ 2:06 in when I got into the D-Bank, the sound totally dips out because of the Pulse Width I have set on the First Oscillator/VCO. I haven't heard this sound out of my Telemark-K yet it's pretty wild. This machine continues to surprise me! So I filmed a little demo going through the four Pad-Banks. I don't have a decent screen-grabber software (if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it I can hook ya up with some custom samples or something) yet so please bear with me. I used an iPhone, my studio-monitors (Tannoy/M-Audio) and my massive Peavey synth-amp. Thanks for watching, listening! You can really hear the SEM Filter kicking-ass around 2:06. Thanks!"
