WALDORF BLOFELD (AMBIENT)

YouTube via thekilon

"The track is called "The Silence before the Storm" and it is from my album TALOS , it is made 100% on WALDORF BLOFELD , triggered by YAMAHA MOTIF ES6 and recorded and mixed in Ableton Live 6. Beside a sample of a water drop and some effects added by Ableton Live, everything else is 100% Waldorf Blofeld.

As I promised this is my third and probably my last video for Waldorf Blofeld , I hope it demonstrates its sonic capabilities.

The photos are from PYLOS (PYLOS,SFAKTIRIA,GIALOVA,VOIDOKILIA) a part of Southern Pelloponissos , Greece and are taken from me during my 2008 summer vacations. Hope you enjoy it."

Installing sounds to the Alesis Fusion from a PC

YouTube via FailedMuso. Use your Fusion as a portable hard drive.
"A tutorial on how to correctly install sounds onto the Alesis Fusion from a PC. It's a simple process but if done incorrectly, it can cause much stress when trying to locate your new sounds.

!!WARNING!! Do not use this method if you are using a Mac. This method will result in you wiping your Fusion's Hard Drive, leaving nothing but the new sounds."

Two More Modules

YouTube via dkimcg
"I got these two Harvestman modules today, the Pokivoks VCF and the Tyme Sefari with the Sound of Thunder expander. I'm still learning how to use them. The filter sounds beautiful, and is pretty cool that you can mix two signals in. It sounds very CCCP.

The Tyme Sefari, I have to do some experiments with a bigger time scale to see how long a sample it can play back, and some VC experiments too. This is pretty much my first patch after figuring out the basics of the Tyme Sefari.

M28, M17, M10, and the Paia timing and making gates and triggers. M15s, Ring mod, wave shaping, etc. mostly to end up barely audible. I want to get my patches leaner so I don't suck so bad and keep using up cables I don't need to."

Reactable en CampusParty Valencia 2008

YouTube via criadobot
"The reacTable in campusbot, campusparty, Valencia 2008 specifications, collaborative electronic musical instrument with a tangible interface based on a table, and inspired by modular synthesizers of the sixties. It was developed by the Music Technology Group at the University Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, a research team composed of Sergi Jordà, Marcos Alonso, Günter Geiger and Martin Kaltenbrunner. Multiple simultaneous users share total control over the instrument by moving and rotating physical objects on the surface of a bright circular table. Manipulating these objects, representatives of the classical components of a modular synthesizer, users can create complex and dynamic sound typologies, generators, filters and modulators, in a kind of tangible modular synthesizer. There are only 5 reacTable, which included it was sold to Icelandic singer Bjork."

Messing around with old PAIA, Doepfer and Mobius

"Messing around with my finally integrated Eurorack modular and Paia 2700/4700 using the Mobius sequencer. Paia oscillators, filters, and vca's. Doepfer mixer and envelope generator. Livewire Vulcan modulating one filter. PAIA lfo the other. The two oscillators are out of tune at first, but they are mostly brought into tune after a little bit of adjustment from the transposer module."
