experimentalsynth :: The Krell Suite by Chris Stack

Published on Oct 28, 2017 experimentalsynth

"The Krell Suite was inspired by one of Make Noise’s Patch of the Week videos, a demo of their 0-Coast version of that abstract electronic music staple, The Krell Patch, based on Louis and Bebe Barron’s ground-breaking soundtrack for the movie Forbidden Planet. Stream and download at https://chrisstack.bandcamp.com/album..."

The Krell Patch :: Five Evocations for Make Noise 0-Coast & Eventide Anthology X

Published on Oct 7, 2017 experimentalsynth

"Five short vignettes showing some of the many, many places you can go when you combine this small-but-powerful analog mono-synth from Make Noise with world-class Eventide effects processors.

The Krell Patch is an auto-generative patch that can be coaxed and goaded into a number of different timbral shapes. Combine that with other-worldly reverbs, harmonizers, rhythmic echoes, moving band-pass filters, and a lot more... and you're half way to Krell already."

MatrixBrute Connected :: Synced Sequencers - 7/8 Groove

Published on Aug 24, 2017 experimentalsynth

"Syncing the sequencers on an Arturia MatrixBrute and a Dave Smith Instruments Pro 2 makes a powerful rhythm section, especially when you add a few other pieces of gear. Odd time signatures and polyrhythms are easily at your fingertips."

MatrixBrute Connected :: MakeNoise 0-Coast, Eventide H9 & MicroBrute

Published on Jul 19, 2017 experimentalsynth

"A synth like the ARTURIA MatrixBrute sounds great on its own, but really comes to life as part of an ecosystem with other instruments and effects. There are a million ways to use it. This is one of them... with the MicroBrute, Make Noise 0-Coast and Eventide H9... learn more at www.experimentalsynth.com"

Ben Hovey :: Sally Sparks :: Chris Stack :: Improvisation 12/13/16

Published on Jan 28, 2017 experimentalsynth

"This is the first time Ben played with Sally and me and things just seemed to gel right away. Since I was mostly handling sequencing and background textures, I was able to shoot a bit of video and stills while we were playing. Instruments and tools used include: trumpet, Haken Continuum, (virtual) piano and Rhodes, Ableton, DSI Pro 2, Moog Voyager, Make Noise Shared System, Eventide H9, Borderlands, Animoog and probably a few other things that I've forgotten or was not aware of. I particularly enjoy how Sally's brassy Continuum timbres intertwine with and compliment Ben's trumpet work. And when you hear trumpet and Rhodes happening at the same time, it's because Ben was playing them at the same time. No overdubs here. All recorded live. An incredibly enjoyable musical experience that I hope we can soon repeat. - Chris Stack"

Cool that they kept the CS80 font and design cues. It almost looks like it was pulled from the front panel of CS-80.

Melodica + DSI Pro 2 + Eventide H9

Published on Jan 24, 2017 experimentalsynth

"Just a bit of melodica jamming and FinalCut craziness. The background music is DSI Pro 2 and Korg ARP Odyssey. Kind of a practical application of the techniques in my recent Pro 2/ARP Odyssey video."

Nylon String Guitar + Moog Ring Mod + Eventide H9 + Line 6 Echo Pro

Published on Jan 2, 2017 experimentalsynth

"Electric nylon string guitar played through a Moog MF-102 Ring Modulator, Eventide H9 and Line 6 Echo Pro. Used an Eventide MIXINGLINK as a guitar pre-amp and effects loop controller. Played over a sequence from a DSI Pro 2, with the H9 and Echo Pro synced to the Pro 2 sequencer clock. I mostly recorded this one so I wouldn't forget the riff and effects combination, but you may enjoy it too. Learn more at experimentalsynth.com"

ARP ODYSSEY Module Meets The DSI Pro 2

Published on Dec 26, 2016 experimentalsynth

"I took the Odyssey for a test drive, MIDIed to the Pro 2, and using Pro 2 CVs to modulate it's filter cutoff and VCO 2 frequencies. This made filter step sequencing and complex oscillator sync patches a breeze, and opened many avenues for exploration. This is possible because the Odyssey Pedal Input can be used as a CV input. When the Odyssey switches are in the filter position, the sliders above them can be used to attenuate the incoming CV signal allowing for precise sculpting of the modulation.
