Here Maths does "math" on Tiptop Z3000 and Harvestman Polyvox filter."

Battle for Justice - Part 7/7 - Ending

YouTube via LPChip. more vids here
"For some time now, I wanted to track a chiptune and do this under one hour. I also wanted to record a movie of me doing this. People have asked for this, both to see that I can do this, but also for them to learn from this. :)

With that idea, I started to work on this song. You can see the entire making of from start to end. The entire duration is 55 minutes and 45 seconds. I had to cut the movie in parts because I cannot upload more than 10 minutes to youtube.

If you want to download the song (both mp3 and source) or want to view a list of all the video's, visit this link: http://lpchip.com/modplug/viewtopic.p...

As always, I really do appreciate feedback and ratings."

Experiments in Noise #2

YouTube via hotchk155
"Using an Arduino clone to drive a WSG (Wierd sound generator - a 40106 oscillator design from www.musicfromouterspace.com) via 2 x dual 1M I2C digital potentiometers. I am only driving one half of the WSG and the patters are generated randomly from the Arduino code. At the same time I am playing with some loops in Reason in the background."

"耳コピをするときに便利なレコーダー。
ピッチを変えずにテンポを落とすことができて、MID/LOWのパスフィルター付。
20kHz-13秒・10kHz-26秒録音可能。
ギター・ベースが接続できる入力端子付。
DJ用のサンプラーとしても使えると思います。"

Googlish:
"When a copy handy recorder ears.
To be able to slow the tempo without changing the pitch, MID / LOW pass filter with.
20kHz-13 seconds can be recorded 10kHz-26 seconds.
Input terminal can be connected with the bass guitar.
I can also serve as DJ for the sampler."

Instrument Isolation (Funky Worm) - The Fast Way

YouTube via Photosounder
"http://photosounder.com

Using the new "road roller" (smart erase) tool combined with the harmonics modifier and the magnet modifier, I was able to isolate the 24 second long synth line at the end of Ohio Player's Funky Worm in about one minute. Back in March 2009 I tried the same thing in Photoshop and it took me about ten hours!

The result isn't completely clean but what is show here is the bulk of the work, for a better result only a bit more cleaning would be necessary. All the work done in this video is shown in real time, only the synthesis parts were shortened."

Automatic Drone Machine (long version)

Automatic Drone Machine (long version) from dougcl on Vimeo.

29:42 minute version of this 9:58 video previously posted.
"Eurorack modular synthesizer generating a random selection of drones. The main sound is a Cwejman VCO-2RM sine ring modded with a Blacet Miniwave. The "percussion" part is the same audio further ring modded with a PlanB M15 sine wave, or a Cwejman VCO-6 ring modded with a Doepfer A-117 (selected by a Doepfer A-134-2 crossfader at random) then passing through the Makenoise QMMG low pass gate. The pitch control of all the VCOs is shared and selected via Doepfer A-148 sample and hold"

See the write-up and more at Hamsterdunce. Note each comic strip has a real life analogy. I hear from the creator Dave many will feature synths. You might recognize Dave from these prior posts and of course umop.com.

Kawai K4 Demo 1

YouTube via undrervapen

"Short video I made of me and a Kawai K4. all sounds are Kawai K4 presets, strait out the box. Many sounds I am playing trough the Kawai K4's internal DCF filter. Drums and effects are all factory Kawai K4 sounds and effects. The Kawai is an early 80's digital synthesizer that makes some nice clean sounds. The synth was known for its ease of use in programing. Fully midi in/out/thru with addition card input for more sound programing. The soft pads and smooth leads are my favorite for this syth."

Update via Doug in the comments: "the K4 was released around 1989. Definitely wasn't around in 1984 as the video claims.

Perhaps the video maker has confused the K4 with the SX-240, which was released in 1984."

Kawai K4 Demo 2

"What kind of boy you're looking for girl" - in Billund Skulpturpark

YouTube via organfairy. It's organfairy Friday time.
"Considering the fact that I have lived in Billund for more than eight years I have made surprisingly few videos on locations within city limits.
But this time I am taking a little stroll in the nearby sculpture park - an outdoor collection of modern sculptures of steel and stone placed between Legoland and the local shopping centre.
Off course I am only pretending to be playing this time. The melody was something I recorded in the year 2000 on Yamaha HE-8 and Technics SX-C600 organs, Boss DR-220 drum sequencer, and the little Casio SA-1."
