Makenoise DPO first encounters

YouTube Published on Jul 30, 2012 by donaldjasoncrunk

"having just returned from Trash_Audio synth meet 12 with a new Makenoise DPO and Toppobrillo Quantimator, i'm eager to dig into the modular. All the audio you hear is coming unmodified from the Dual Prismatic Oscillator.

apologies for the camera wiggle, sometimes you just have to rock out!"

"some DPO action to enjoy. some folks might be interested...

this is pure DPO, no filters/effects/anything other than VCAs and clean mixing, lots of modulation from the rest of the modular obviously."

Lunchbox Sampler

Published on Mar 5, 2013 donaldjasoncrunk·21 videos

"Some patches i recorded using the Lunchbox Easel. check out the previous video [posted here] for a guided tour of the instrument. what you're hearing is the lunchbox, a Boss DD5 and Akai Headrush, and a lil vox. enjoy the excellent timpani sound i happen across by accident!

if you're looking for dry demos, check out the 2 tracks on my soundcloud named 'BRECK' and 'ENRIDGE' . life's too short not to loop.

Please remember to visit www.kamagraphrecords.com and check out my new album 'Yankee Notch'. available on digital or cassette!"

DONALDCRUNK live on The Tunnel - KSER 90.7 FM

Published on Aug 4, 2018 donaldjasoncrunk

"Absolutely honored to play a live set on The Tunnel, a long running experimental electronic music show on KSER FM in Everett, WA.

Set features my eurorack system, Elektron Digitone and Roland TR 606 (and the trusty Akai Headrush of course. Truly this pedal is a warrior and a champion).

Many many thanks to my amazing hosts at KSER Lars & Maire for their hospitality. Absolutely loved the vibe of this independent radio station, and their support for the experimental synth community! KSER.org"

six patches [eurorack synth]

YouTube Uploaded by donaldjasoncrunk on Feb 27, 2012

"six patches in 8:25 - some of these are 'tonal', some are not. this is patching with abandon.

of special note on these patches are the STG Soundlabs .COM comparator and .MIX moog CP3 based mixer - both of these have incredibly pleasant gain and 'imperfect' attributes.

special thanks also to Hahn Amplifiers for the awesome custom case!"

601.1 [eurorack volca touchOSC]

Published on Feb 16, 2015 donaldjasoncrunk

"a new configuration for my Erthenvar / Pulp Logic lunchbox synth centered around the WMD Sequential Switch Matrix and Make Noise Phonogene. both are controlled by some custom layouts i made in touchOSC, and MIDI is being transmitted via the MIDI Implant tile.

this rig is really intented to function alongside the Korg Volcas and other similar instruments, with the SSM being very useful for routing clocks and audio between the boxes.

in this patch, a cycling function acts as master clock for the STG Soundlabs .DIV, which the WMD SSM dutifully distributes to the Volcas, Phonogene and back into itself. The XY pad controls CV inputs on the Phonogene while the Korg Volca keys and Monotribe stumble along behind."

this rig is really intented to function alongside the Korg Volcas and other similar instruments, with the SSM being very useful for routing clocks and audio between the boxes.

in this patch, a custom grid of touchOSC buttons selects presets from the SSM, which is routing audio inputs from the Volca, Monotribe and pre recorded guitar loop into the Phonogene. Monotribe provides master clock, and modulation of Phono is provided by a second CV out from touchOSC."

"live set - 3 seperate noises in one video for your convenience! happy to be celebrating my 1000th post on the best internet community in the world, Muffwiggler. thanks to my fellow wigglers for the awesome advice and the awesome music that i listen to constantly!

the first two sounds are more percussion oriented, the last more sequency. i premade the vocal loops to save some time and to save you from hearing too much of my lovely boyvoice."

"another Erthenvar / Make Noise lunchbox jam, this time sans vocals. just a nice slow buildup, a little tense but with some really pretty sounds from the DPO that almost remind me of plucked strings. abusing the FSRs in this one. monotribe provides periodic kick drum, sustained low bass and white noise. sequence from Littlemidi on the iphone again. any questions? feel free to ask in the comments below!"

DONALDCRUNK live 07/25/20 @ MOTS Seattle (Dynamic Eurorack Ambient)

donaldjasoncrunk

"My live performance from the 07/25/20 Modular on the Spot Seattle live stream on twitch.tv/modularseattle. Performing from my back deck due to the COVID-19 pandemic - can't wait to play again in person!!

This patch is pretty straightforward - melodies are a combo of SH Mk II + Mutable Marbles, which is used to transpose things around. Kick / bass is Plaits (of course). Of special note is the WORNG Electronics SoundStage, which I'm using to duck the pads/melodies and really tie the mix together. Great module."

Korg Kronos All Excess Party 2k11 with STG Labs

YouTube Uploaded by donaldjasoncrunk on Aug 8, 2011

"Our own stop on the Korg Kronos All-Access Tour. Special thanks to McHale for bringing down the Kronos and letting us mess around and program our own stuff. These patches seem simple, but all utilize some uniquely Kronos feature or another and require a lot of horsepower to even run. This is a mighty mighty keyboard for ambient musics.

Headphones or nice speakers recommended."
