Forest Metals - Novation Circuit Live Set

Published on Jan 25, 2017 tarekith

"(sorry for the crappy camera angles, I was in a hurry to record)

Dark, introverted music for cold winter nights. This mini set was written and performed entirely on the Novation Circuit, with no additional processing after the fact. I used my own custom sample set, made from primarily from found sounds I recorded near where I live in Luxembourg. The synths sounds are my own tweaked versions of the latest synth presets released by Novation. You can download the individual samples as well as the Circuit Project file for this set here:

Using the online Circuit editor, you can upload these to your own Circuit to explore and use as you will.

An 320kbps AAC version of this set can be downloaded here:

Enjoy.

Dawn Tonight
100 Patches for the DSI OB-6 Synthesizer
by Tarekith

Download The Patches Here:

http://tarekith.com/assets/DawnTonigh...

This bank of sounds was created to be used with the built in sequencer on the OB-6. While you can certainly play them normally via a keyboard, I recommend pressing Play on the OB-6 sequencer before you start browsing through the patches.

BY DEFAULT THE PATCHES WILL INSTALL IN USER BANK 0, PLEASE BACK UP ANY PATCHES YOU WANT TO SAVE BEFORE YOU OVERWRITE THEM WITH THIS BANK.

I’ve included the patches in sysex and MIDI file format, as well as a format that can be loaded via Soundtower Editor for the OB-6 available here:

https://www.soundtower.com/ob6/

This soundset is provided as donation-ware. It’s free to use, but if you like the sounds I’ve made for you please consider a small donation via the links in the READ ME file. $5 buys me a beer, $10 buys me a better beer, and $20 makes all my dreams come true.

Thanks, and I hope you enjoy the sounds I’ve created with this beautiful sounding synth.

"This live set was written and performed entirely on a single Novation Circuit. The only processing applied was normalizing the audio file to -1dBFS. No mastering or other process was applied, what you hear is straight out of the Circuit.

The custom sample pack I used for the sample flipping is available for free at my website: tarekith.com. You can grab high-quality audio versions of the set there as well.

Enjoy!

Tarekith Electribe Live Set 05-30-2015

Published on May 30, 2015 tarekith

"Well, I knew I was going to start working on an electribe set after I wrapped up my Maschine Studio live set, I just didn't expect it to be the very next day! Sat down a few times throughout the day to polish up what I was working on in the electribe lately, and decided to cull a few songs that just weren't fitting the vibe I wanted.

I started getting an idea for a new electribe project while I was doing all this, but I knew that I had to put some of these current songs behind me before I could wipe everything and start from scratch on a new project. So, I decided to record a short live set with some of my favorite patterns at the moment.

I was mainly using the Wet Reverb master effect to help with transitions between patterns, I haven't been able to figure out a smoother way without knowing the track order ahead of time.

This is probably a good bit more basic sounding than my Maschine Studio live set, but I still enjoy working this way and seeing what kind of music I can write when using tools a bit more limited.

Audio only version:

Happy that I was able to use some of these ideas I've been carrying with me as I journeyed from one continent to another, but also looking forward to starting over on a new electribe project now that I'm settled. Expect some more grey Korg box music shortly! :)"

Dandelion Nights

Published on Nov 10, 2017 tarekith

"This song initially began as a sketch on my Novation Circuit over the summer. Nothing like sitting outside and jamming out some ideas on a nice little battery-powered device like that. Especially since now that it’s cold out, I can take those sketches and use not only the sounds, but also vibe I had at the time in something a bit more fleshed out.

All the drums, percussion, bassline, and a couple of the synths were from the Circuit, recorded into Ableton Live for arranging and mixing. On top of those sounds, I overdubbed more instrument parts from the DSI OB-6, Moog Animoog, and Live’s new Wavetable synth. The mixdown was done with only Live 10’s included devices, and mastering was nothing more than DMG Audio’s Limitless plug-in on the master channel to top off a few stray peaks.

Really happy with the vibe of this song, a sort of shifting uncertainty that reflects that change from summer to fall. As always, hope you enjoy!

"A quick video showing some tips and tricks for the electribe2. I recommend watching it in HD in order to see the display screen values better.

Some of these are briefly (or poorly) mentioned in the manual, and some were discovered by other users on the Korg forums or electribe Facebook group. I'm not claiming to have created these all, just demonstrating them.
