Snapdragon - modular synth ambient music

YouTube via doctorvague | February 13, 2011 |

"4 melodies generated from Numerology software to a MOTM 650 MIDI-CV converter and selected with a DIY switcher. Mostly synthesizers.com system with Modcan VCDO and Digital Delay, MOTM 440 filter and MegaOhm Delta filter and Suit and Tie Guy Wavefolder. Music, including Drumaxx drums generated in real time, no edits or overdubs. Noisy sounds generated mostly by cross-FM'ing filters. This is my first HD video with new cameras and lights with some effects from Final Cut Pro all in a new bigger studio space. Thanks for watching!"

"Very simple Numerology stack with lots of randomity supplying 3 voices to 6 Synthesizer.com oscillators, 3 Envelope generators a State variable Filter and MOTM 440 Filter. The title says the inspiration!"

Why Yes I Do Like Echo Part 2 - Modular synth improv

YouTube via doctorvague. follow-up to this post.
"Modcan Sequencer - Modcan VCDO - Suit and tie guy Post Lawsuit filter - Modcan Digital delay with MOTM 440 in the the delay feedback loop + some synthesizers.com stuff. The sound source is just the 1 VCDO. The module I'm switching at the upper right is a DIY switch module with 4 rows of 4 switches. Various rhythmic triggers are coming from Volta (the 4 white cables). The top row of switches controls the sequencer, the second row controls the delay time. Also used is a Synthesizers.com State Variable Filter and 2 Synthesizers.com oscillators being used as 2 slow LFO's, for like, you know, like, modulating stuff.

Controlling Live loops with the APC40 which are going in dry and also being piped into the modular patch too.

This track is DRY as far as processing goes - it's straight from the modular and Live.

Sorry about the crap video
Hopefully the sound is good though, that's the mainest thing.
This year - new camera.

I'll do some annotations on this if you want, otherwise, enjoy."

Holistic Additives - Modular synth + Monopoly + Volta

"Volta, 4 trigger streams to a switcher to a Moon Modular trigger sequencer and on out to a Monopoly arpeggiator etc. It's as fun as it looks. I jammed to a different loop than you're hearing"

TransArpitude-live analog synth arp-jam

YouTube via doctorvague | November 04, 2010

"An arpeggiated real time improv, no edits, with drums added later. Korg Monopoly, Juno 60, Moon Modular Trigger sequencer as master, slaved to Volta, Synthesizers.com, MOTM, Modcan, MegaOhm, Suit and Tie Guy, Encore Electronics, MOTU Volta and a ho-made switcher."

Twinkle Star 2 - ambient electronic music

YouTube via doctorvague — May 05, 2010 — "Modular synth and Alesis Andromeda using Nodal software to generate the notes. This might be 'progressive ambient' if you want to split hairs. Part one is audio only on Soundcloud using a major scale. This one uses the Lydian mode."

TransOrganitude - analog synth organ jam

YouTube via doctorvague | November 08, 2010

"An arpeggiated real time improv, no edits, with drums added later. Korg Monopoly, Juno 60, Moon Modular Trigger sequencer as master, slaved to Volta, Synthesizers.com, MOTM, Modcan, MegaOhm, Suit and Tie Guy, Encore Electronics, and a ho-made switcher. Roland VK-7 organ. This was a first take playing organ so it's all off the cuff."

Tele-Modo - Modular synth guitar experiment

YouTube Uploaded by doctorvague on Jul 8, 2011

"Fernandes Tele into HK Tubeman into El Capistan into STG Wavefolder into Hordijk Dual Phaser. Korg Monopoly arp plays the modular, I didn't use the Monopoly audio at all. Also used Modcan VCDO and DDL, Encore UEG, , MOTM 440 filter, Synthesizers.com EG, 2 Oscillators (one as LFO) and output mixer. Moon Modular 563 trigger sequencer as master of everything-- the arpeggiator, EG, UEG (used as voltage sequencer) and delay time. Mixed in real time with live effects, no edits, although maybe I should have.

Why "Experiment"? In this case it's a euphemism for "I'm pretty sure parts of this are pretty questionable but it took a whole day to render the got-dang thing so I'm posting it anyway." I thought the 2-camera overlap came out pretty cool though, especially with the all-you-can-eat cable spaghetti festival where they overlap. Oy vey I should be so lucky to have that many patch cables."

Am To Be Part 4 - modular synth improv

YouTube via doctorvague — April 16, 2010 — "A little noisier one this time. I left the dynamics in so low parts are actually quieter and loud notes are louder. It's this new thing I just figured out. Using an Akai APC40 below camera firing Numerology presets created previously to a MOTM 650 Midi2CV converter for pitch. For triggers MOTU Volta to a DIY switcher upper right supplying different division rhythmic triggers to a Moon Modular trigger sequencer and a Modcan Digital delay. MegaOhm Delta Filter, Synthesizers.com State Variable Filter and MOTM 440 filter. Encore Electronics UEG, Synthesizers.com oscillators, envelope generators, mixer, VCA etc. Lots of partial cross-mod and partial soft-sync between the oscillators to get it to balance between notes and noise. Synthesizers.com excel at that stuff, especially the soft sync on the oscillator aid."
