Serge demo 20240108

video upload by justin3am

"I did a demonstration with my Serge+friends modular for the LA Synth Club on Monday, January 8 2024. Unfortunately, the multitrack audio didn't record correctly and the audio the camera captured was bad. Also the camera cut out after like ten minutes. :facepalm:
C'est la vie. I'm just glad we had a nice turnout."

"I colored outside the lines a bit on this one. Clipping, messy.
Some weird acid vibes but mostly just weird.
I got this old Boss mixer with banana jacks for $5. Still figuring out gain staging, lol. Interesting flaws, but I think it works well for this kind of thing."

video upload by justin3am

"In this episode of Patching @ 3am, I replicate the aspects of the patch from my previous video with eurorack modules.

Follow me for more synthesizer nonsense!"

Patching@3am: Hard Sync with DUSG? Kinda...

video upload by justin3am

"The first video in what I hope will be a series.
In this installment I explore using the Serge DUSG and NCOM as audio rate oscillators, processing them with the Ring Modulator and VCFQ."

3am - the other side looks worse

"Some abrasive sounds recorded from the rig I'm bringing to the May1st LA Synth Club meet up.
Soma Pulsar-23 and Lorre-Mill Keyed Mosstone are processed and modulated by
Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus 2. All sequenced by Soma Ornament-8."

The performance was based around the Music Easel clone and lorre-mill Double Knot."

"My first recording with these Buchla clone modules from Portabellabz and Samodular. Just an absolutely incredible instrument. It feels alive!
I occasionally kick in distortion via EHX Overlord. A small amount of post processing and Fostex 3180 on the reverb send."

"Sunday morning jam featuring Serge modular, Cocoquantus 2, Pulsar-23 and eurorack modulars. Some funky rhythms and regurgitated synths."

Korg nanoKONTROL Featured in Star Trek Picard

via @justin3am

Curious what season and episode it was featured in. If you know feel free to comment.

This was in response to the DX/DMX featured in Star Trek VI, in response by @tonsil to a recent post on a DMX up for sale. Credit when credit is due...

Update via justin3am: "Looks like it was season 2 episode 10."

3am - Damp Grid

video upload by justin3am

"Another piece centered around shift registers. This time used as sound sources and as part of the visuals. All of the noisy percussion sounds come from the Dual Digital Shift Register (kinda Rungler-like patch) and Cascading Shift Register (used as and LFSR)."

3am - ARP 2600 FS and Audity One

video upload by justin3am

"In this video I'm playing my ARP 2600 through an Audity One recording amp from Curious Audio. https://curiousaudio.us

The 2600's balanced output is connected to the Audity One's transformer balanced line input. The mics I'm using are a 414 and an SE VR-1 ribbon mic through a pair of 1073 preamp clones. This amp is ideal for re-amping synths or anything really because of it's broad frequency spectrum and surprisingly low noise floor. This patch is using relatively little of the Audity One's available gain, just to illustrate the character of the amp. I hope to do some more extreme sounds when I can really let it rip!"

3am - Cascadence

video upload by justin3am

"A stomping jam featuring eurorack modular and such.
At the center of this patch is the Cascade Register from Omiindustriies, providing the main clock as well as distributing CV and triggering events.
Sounds from Synth Fox Modular's Degenrator, Pulsar-23, Infernal Noise Machine, etc.

I kinda dig this blurry arms vibe."

3am - extra onions

"Serge modular, Soma Pulsar-23, Lorre-Mill Double Knot, Mosstone.

An experiment with two camera angles. Bad color and lighting but a good learning experience."

3am - Soup FX

"A skronky peice featuring STS and Random*Source Serge modular synths. An exploration of the STS Soup Kitchen 1 panel's phasers, frequency shifter and Wilson Analog Delay. Simple FM voice courtesy of NTO+PCO, through a lowpass gate. Video processed in DaVinci Resolve."
