3am - Steep

"Self-generating modular bleeps, screeches and rhythms. Improvised feedback.

Featuring:
Koma Field Kit
Pearl Snare Drum
Make Noise Shared System
Lots of other eurorack stuff
Elektron Analog Heat

I played a snare drum with a speaker, by feeding signal back from two contact mics attached to the drum, via a Koma Field Kit. Different tensions around the rim and dampening drum heads with my hands results in tonal changes depending on where I put the speaker."

3am - kleine boxen

"Machines jamming out on the couch. 0-Coast, Strega, 0-Ctrl, Zoia Euroburos, CVilization, Joystick.
Just a self playing patch I put together while having breakfast."

0-Coast first patch

Published on Jan 5, 2017 justin3am

"I told myself that I would stick to patching the 0-Coast to itself at first, but I couldn't help myself.

Audio Damage's Seq1 controls the Pitch, Overtone, Multiply and the Decay time of the Contour, triggers the Contour Generator and clocks the tempo input. Slope running at audio rate is patched to the linear FM input. The Random out controls the Slope Time and transposes Seq1.

The output of 0-Coast is connected to an Echophon. The LP-1 X-Y controller triggers Freeze and controls Echo Time and Pitch Depth on the Echophon."

3am - Stumble

"A self-playing patch featuring Serge, Lorre-Mill, Blacet/Frac and Bugbrand modular synths and ZOIA Euroburo from Empress FX. Bad lighting but some neat sounds. Probably longer than it needs to be, lol."

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 - u-he's CVilization - Matrix Mixer Sequencer Aid

justin3am

"This is my first demo for u-he's CVilization module. Using CVz's Matrix Mixer to process Sequences and modulation, it takes the place of a whole rack's worth of modules. Precision adding, Sample and Hold, Quantization... and that's just one application of Mode 1."

kp3 and friends

"Another feeble attempt at showing how a Kaoss Pad can be used as an awesome control surface for a modular synth. I'm horrible at talking while I'm syntherbating so most of my words are just rambling. Sorry.

The details... The MIDI from my KP3 is controlling Expert Sleepers' Silent Way DC plug-in hosted in Numerology. The CV is sent out of my MOTU interface via ADAT to ES-3 CV interface.

The signals generated by Silent Way are used to control the Make Noise Phonogene granular sampler. Audio from Phonogene goes into the Korgasmatron filter and then the zDSP.

The additional synth parts are all coming from the modular. Again I'm using Numerology and Silent Way to generate the sequences. The drums are from my Octatrack, all sounds sampled from the modular."

"A performance on Serge, Eurorack and Buchla format modular synths, Elektron Octatrack and Analog Four. Recorded at Common Space Brewery in Hawthorne, CA for the 1 year anniversary of our monthly synth club meetup.

Thanks to @hansilamusic for organizing the event!"

3am - inference (Infernal Noise Machine)

video by justin3am

"This is a performance using an Infernal Noise Machine from Flight Of Harmony, controlled by a 0-CTRL from Make Noise. Also featuring a Quad Plague Bearer for extra grime and a Desmodus Versio for reverb.
I forgot to turn on the back light, so you can barely see what I'm doing, lol."

"Dark, dubby and damaged. First track with Waldorf Quantum. Sequenced with Elektron Octatrack. Make Noise Tempi/Rene V2 controls Shared System, Audio Damage Seq1 controls 0-Coast."

"A short set I performed at the Synth or Die event put on by the SoCal Synth Society, at innercity skate in Lincoln Heights.

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

3am - extra onions

video upload by justin3am

"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 - Five12 Vector Sequencer Demo

Published on Feb 5, 2019 justin3am

"This is my first demo for the Vector sequencer from Five12.
The Vector is an incredibly flexible MIDI/CV sequencer in Eurorack format. Check out the Five12 website for more information.

"Live modular synth performance.
I'm starting to get the hang of recording songs this way. Camera angle provides a pretty good shot of my ass. I'll figure out a good angle, eventually."

Funny. :)

VCFQ demo

Published on Aug 6, 2016 justin3am

"A run through of the excellent Serge/Random*Source Variable Q VCF.

This is my first attempt to demonstrate a eurorack module with voice over. Not perfect but I think it gets the point across. Not really digging the fish-eye look... oh well."

3am - Soup FX

video upload by justin3am

"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."
