SoftPop 2 in Session | Bastl x Casper | Noise Kitchen

video upload by NOISE KITCHEN

"Bastl Instruments x Casper Electronics' SoftPopII SP2 is live: 'a radical subtractive synth under the influence of unconventional digital control. It’s a rare beast that excels at both melody and noise in equal measure, ranging from bassline bangers, angelic chord progressions, distorted beats, and water droplets. It can even process inbound audio through the filter and VCA.'

Pretty words, but how does it actually sound in a live setting? In this video by Noise Kitchen staff Lotus Wash and Niels Aras we get right to it — two Bastl Instruments x Casper Electronics SoftPop SP2, one Eowave Quadrantid Swarm, one Moog DFAM, processed through Valhalla Supermassive, nothing else.

Over the 13 minutes multiple different dimensions of sound are explored, from punchy acid rollers and psychedelic slow-motion dancefloor beats, Niels Aras & Lotus Wash guide you through how the SoftPopII can be weaponised for the rave, away from the more ambient electronica applications of the synth heard elsewhere.

Filming & Editing by Adam Kořínek & Vít Linek — many thanks!"

"CJ Bolland discussing how he makes music and the gear he loves: TR-808, MC-202, Quadrantid Swarm, Arturia synths, Korg Flanger pedals and more!"

"Legendary electronic musician, DJ and techno producer, CJ Bolland sat down for a candid unscripted interview in my studio in the first week of 2023 discussing his approach to making music and how it has evolved over the years, through to revealing the synths and drum machines that have shaped his work.

CJ Bolland is a pioneering techno artist from Belgium who first released his seminal early techno tracks on R&S Records in the early 1990s. Since then his electronic music production and projects has him weaving through a combination of techno, pop and electro genres over the past 3 decades. He provides insight to how he creates and the music technology that he loves. CJ also reveals a few hidden gear secrets! Has a little jam in my studio and there's even a surprise guest.

Ghost Performance Multi-FX Module by Andrew Huang & Endorphin.es

Update: GHOST ENDORPHIN.ES / ANDREW HUANG Eurorack Module Chat w/ MATTHS added to the bottom of this post below.

In collaboration with ANDREW HUANG, based on his modern music production techniques ENDORPHIN.ES developed a creative audio processor with multiple blocks that can be moved around in order to achieve different flavors for sound design.

processing unit without fixed structure: intuitively create astonishing and ephemeral timbres, from atmospheric rumbles to heavy or distorted textures.

creative stereo effect processor with delay, reverb, filter and distortion with quickly explorable routing chain with single button press.

new generation ARM Cortex - M7 processor with 96 kHz 32 bit internal processing.

lush hall and whooshing reverse reverbs with audio freeze and pre-delay.

sidechain audio ducking envelope available both internally and externally with additional one knob single band compressor.

tap delay with maximum delay time up to 2.5 seconds, external clock input with onboard clock divider and 1v/oct time control.

8x oversampled distortion algorithm.

pre- and post - VCA, tone and volume controls with extra gain.

Ghost - Endorphin.es and Andrew Huang New FX module - Sonic Lab Review

video upload by sonicstate

"Collabs are all the rage these days, and this one comes from a meeting of Endorphin.es and massive Youtuber/Producer Andrew Huang. Ghost is a multi-function effects and processing module, with delay, filtering, reverb, sidechaining and distortion, but not necessarily in that order - its, fluid due to some nifty DSP work from Endorphin.es.

Modular performer and producer, MATTHS (aka Matt Hodson) takes a look."

An Endorphines GHOST Demojam (feat Quadrantid Swarm)

video upload by mylarmelodies

"So Andrew Huang and Endorphines collaborated on a unique stereo multi-effect delay/reverb/filter/distortion/compressor called GHOST. They sent me one, and here's a ponderous demo/techno jam of it as an end-of-chain finisher for a Quadrantid Swarm (which it does rather well), with a cameo from Andrew. Commence the ghostlyjams."

Eowave Quadrantid Swarm + Metallik Resonator Speaker
Playtronica Orbita

10 Quadrantid Swarm patches No talking (eurorack synthesizer music)

video upload by Polythingies

"This is a begining, here are 10 patch made with the eowave quadrantid swarm, using its midi capabilities and its weird and funny sound and crispy analog filters.

All the patches are unmodified (no effect, compressor or additional sound so there is a lot of dynamic). The synthesizer is recorded with a rme fireface so what you listen is just the raw synth.

Don't know the names so help me to find some in the comments. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :)

You can get here the midi files here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folder...

First Month with Soma Pulsar-23: compilation of improvised pieces

video upload by Honeysmack

"An assortment of 7 short improvised clips with the Soma Pulsar-23, all very techno, all with different configurations of gear. There's lot's to be said about the Pulsar-23, it is one of the most expressive machines I've come across in recent times. There is always something new to explore each time I turn it on. As an improvisational tool, this is amazing. Okay I'll stop gushing, you get my point. Vlad Kreimer is a genius and I put him in the same company as Don Buchla, Bob Moog, Roger Linn, Dave Smith and Tom Oberheim.

Each clip is recorded in a single take, with no editing or post production. I used a variety of clock sources and sequencers as indicated below. Some sections get rather crunchy and distorted, sorry! Pulsar23 runs into a Playdifferently Model1 mixer, that runs through an Elektron Analog Heat as the master bus.

00:00 Clip1 - Using internal clock source and looper-recorders, exploring kick and modulating effects.
02:10 Clip2 - Quadrantid Swarm audio running through the Pulsar23 and also modulated by the Pulsar. Beat Step Pro is the main sequencer.
03:52 Clip3 - Funky Techno with Beat Step Pro sequencing the Pulsar via MIDI.
06:21 Clip4 - Harder Techno jam with Beat Step Pro sequencing the Pulsar via MIDI.
07:08 Clip5 - TB-303 running through the Pulsar effects and filters.
10:04 Clip6 - Integrating with a Eurorack rack, using a combination of clock sources and Pulsar's looper-recorders. Crunchy and noisey!
10:56 Clip7 - Straight up Techno jam!

Gear featured in these clips:
Soma Pulsar-23
Arturia Beat Step Pro
Roland TB-303
EO Wave Quadrantid Swarm
Eurorack modular
Playdifferently Model1 DJ mixer
Elektron Analog Heat MkI

"The Quandrantid Swarm is a digital synthesizer that features a percussive element to give it a unique sound. It contains a two-pole analog filter, an LFO with eight waveforms, and a spring reverb. The eight touch keys can be used as a mono keyboard, polyphonic keyboard or an eight-step sequencer. The Quandrantid Swarm has MIDI and CV/Trig connectivity. Its normalized pre-patching allows you start creating immediately, but its semi-modular design allows you to use patch cables to explore the potential of this instrument. Includes original power supply and manual."

Cinematic Laboratory

'I had my eye on this one since I saw it in Paul Tas' personal Error Instruments case. While my module was on its way 'home', I saw Mylar Melodies' video using it in a techno set. I was already sold, but wow I did not expect the QS to be that cool. Unfortunately mine came without a spring reverb and I am not sure the Eurorack version includes one. Oh well, nothing a Desmodus Versio can't fix."
