SnowKickDrumAndTheSeven303s (Friday Free D/L!)

SnowKickDrumAndTheSeven303s (Friday Free D/L!) by highsage
"A live demonstration of the Elektron OctaTrack, specifically Scene-Morphing and scene jamming using the cross fader. This is inspired by BOR spinning in Eindhoven at the Zodiak stage... probably the only audience I can think of that could handle the ending...

Track composed entirely of one kick drum sample from my modded TR-909 kick drum circuit, and then seven samples from my TB-303, including two from thebeast.co.uk tb-303. Is it still OK to call this minimal these days? What do you say, Mr. Hood?"

"We are a new band called "Loved by Ghosts" which uses almost entirely DIY synthesizers that we built ourselves.

In "Sonic Hysteria", you would certainly recognize the midibox SID while the bass is Monomachine.

In “Girl Go” the bass line is Avr-X Synthesizer, various FX is midibox FM and the lead Oberheim OB-12.

In the other songs - that we will be posting soon - we use: ASM-2, Mutable Instruments Shruthi-1, Pixie (Wasp clone), Monowave(X), MFOS Soundlab, SUB-COMMANDER Guitar Synth, Weird Sound Generator, Drone Lab V2, AVR synth, Gorf Sequencer.
For guitar and voice we use various filters from the web (wasp filter clone, steiner, lm13700 filter, ssm2044, polivoks), fx's built with boards from Jürgen Haible (Frequency Shifter FS-1A, Triple Chorus, Krautrock Phaser and 20-pole Phaser), many vintage Russian fx units, and many electro-Harmonix stompboxes.
All of them are sequenced from an Elektron Monomachine (we love it !!!) and an Electribe sampler is used for drums, created with the same synths.
You will recognize some of them in the pictures. More to come on our Facebook page.

We want to thank you… Thorsten Klose, Laurie Biddulph, Paul Maddox, Ray Wilson, Jürgen Haible, Johan Severinsson and Jonas Karlsson, Olivier Gillet, Peter Edwards, Jarek Ziembicki and to MATRIXSYNTH. Without your projects,our music would be empty.
And special thanks to our pet Speakjet, Wof, Wof.
If you enjoyed our music, follow us on Facebook, YouTube and SoundCloud, there's a lot more to come."

The oscillator section has 2 oscillators with triangle, saw and square waves with Pitch, Gain, Glide and Shape knobs. Glide can be independently applied to each oscillator. There is a sub oscillator to add extra heft to the bass.

The LFO section includes 5 waveforms Depth, Phase and Speed knobs plus the option to retrigger on each new key hit and loop the LFO.

5 types of “analog style” filters including Lowpass, Highpass, Peak, Notch and Bandpass with knobs for Cutoff, Resonance and Drive .

MacBeth Mk1 Modular Majestic 12 Snapshot!

MacBeth Mk1 Modular Majestic 12 Snapshot! from Ken MacBeth on Vimeo.

"Here is a quick video of the MacBeth Mk1 'Majestic 12' System in operation. It's basically four Analogue Syntrhesizers in one! Each synth features 3 x VCOs/1 x Mixer/1 x 24dB/Octave Transistor Ladder Filter/1 x 12dB/Octave State Variable Filter and 2 x Dual Envelope Generators with built in output VCAs.
This was recorded directly into the Canon 60D that I use- and on edit- as scene fades into scene- the sounds overlap a bit.
The sequencer here is an ensoniq ASR-10- a fantastically easy sequencer to use. Also used is a four channel MIDI to CV converter- a Kenton Pro4.
It's a short vid- shot in HD, hence the size!
Hope you enjoy- Ken M"
