In The Ninth Season (demo).mov

YouTube via davidryle | October 22, 2010

"This is a demonstration of the new Synthetic Sound Labs 1310 Digital Delay module. The device is capable of subtle doubling, hard timed delays and super flanging. I mostly am using it as a gentle flanger in this demo but it is far more powerful than what I demo here. You can get one for your 5U MU modular synthesizer by checking out the website at http://www.steamsynth.com/

I also finished a project where I was modifying a stock Q111 Pan/Fade module from Synthesizers.com. I added an attenuator pot to the control input and added an inverter circuit to the output #2. This enables the Panning portion of the module to output audio to two channels of my mixer in stereo. I have control over how wide the panning is and both output channels are normal (un-inverted) so there is no cancellation when sending to effects etc..

I am using several other delay units as well in this demo. TC Electronics D-Two is way in the background so it isn't really a factor. Strymon 's Blue Sky Reverberator is the heavy plate reverb in the background. The Korg Kaoss 3 pad is used to have some looping fun, but I tried to keep it low level so not to interfere with the demo of the 1310 delay module.

There are four separate voices playing in this piece from the modular. The sequencers are generating various time signatures and loops but all of the distorted flanging effect is the 1310 Digital Delay. This is one fun unit and a great addition to my modular synth.

The title is about the amount of time since I got serious about building a modular synth to work with. It has been a little over two years (9 seasons) since I made the commitment. No looking back and I am very happy with the move away from dedicated keyboards and soft synths (although I still use them for other things).

Thanks to Doug Slocum at Synthetic Sound Labs for the great delay module. He has other ideas in the works and I am very excited about the future of his endeavor."

"Stress of the day" - on EMU Proformance/1+

YouTube via organfairy | November 09, 2010

"I must confess that I am not playing this in real-time. It is more or less the result of some hours spend playing around with a PC MIDI sequencer where I play the notes one at a time.

But I can surely take credit for composing this melody!

I bought this EMU piano synthesizer for the equivalent of 10$ at an outdoor second hand market. The electronics were fine but the power socket was loose and the previous owner had kept the cord in place by wrapping everything in duck tape (or duct tape (or whatever tape it was)). So I had some sticky business to take care of.

I use the EMU synthesizer for the piano sounds and the Roland JX-8P for the bass. The arpeggio is played on the Siel DK-80 and the drums on the Roland RA-30 arranger module. The Yamaha HE-8 organ takes care of the rest."
