Zebra2 Mini-Tutorial #29 - Everything Swings

YouTube Uploaded by uheplugins on Aug 10, 2011

"#29 - Everything Swings - 1m:39s

In most synthesizers, "swing" is only applied to the timing of an arpeggiator (or mini-sequencer). In Zebra2, swing also affects all synchronized LFOs used in the patch -- this "tutorial" is a simple demonstration of the feature plus how to add swing to delays. Note that Swing is not applied to standard envelopes (even when synchronized and looped) and that Swing factor is not a modulation target.

Steps in the video
I.
- Load initialize (not shown)
- Apply swing to an arpeggio
- Apply swing to an LFO
II
- Apply swing to a delay

Homework
You don't have to use the Swing knob whenever you want a swing effect. Try this: Load any patch you created according to tutorial #27 "Messing with MSEG 1", go into the Matrix and modulate MSEG1 loop rate with a synchronized LFO. Use "ModWhl" as the "Via" control, and turn it up."

"Dirty Electronics Mute Synth promo made only with sounds from the Mute Synth with edits and processing. Photography and animation Stereographic (Birmingham). Performed by Burlesque artist Eliza DeLite.

The Mute Synth is a hand-held touch and tilt instrument with copper etched artwork and contoured printed circuit board that was designed in collaboration with Mute and graphic designer Adrian Shaughnessy. The instrument brings together many Dirty Electronics aesthetics and instrument designs into one device in particular creating an instrument ‘of the hand’ (in terms of both playing and building), a noise-based device that utilises feedback, and exploring the relationship between artwork and circuit board."

"thisone...

is just a tipical improvisation like they did in the 70ies and 80ies with synthesizers.

using the internal Stepsequencer of the Pro-One while triggering the Arpeggio of the Jupiter4.

of course some effects where used;
Pro-One - Eventide Space
Jupiter 4 - Kaosspad2

just recorded as it is no additional Audioprocessing!"

"Machinery" - on Yamaha HE-8

YouTube Uploaded by organfairy on Aug 10, 2011

"This time I am getting a little psychedelic. I don't know why. It was just an idea I had to try. I must also admit that I am not really playing the sax in the intro. I play it on the Yamaha organ and afterwards I treated it with a flanging effect.

The song "Machinery" was included on one of the early albums by Sheena Easton but is not a typical Easton song. According to Wikipedia it was "a grab for the new wave audience" what ever that is supposed to mean...

But it is a favourite of mine."

Labels on YouTube have the Roland CR-1000 listed and the Roland JX-8P.
