Modular Sounds 3

YouTube Published on Jul 1, 2012 by pjoris2

"I wanted to do something structured exploring basic wave shaping, but got carried away and endup with something unstructured with only a little waveshaping. That's modulars for you ... Here is a quick recording of what I ended up with, just to have a some start to hopefully some more and better videos.

The patch:
- basic sequence on the ASol SQ8, clocked by a AS LFO
- through Doepfer A-156 quantizer (transposed by AS Sorceror keyboard)
- controlling an AS VCO, output saw/triangle, waveform controlled by another AS LFO
- amplitude envelope controlled by basic AS Envelope generator-VCA patch triggered by SQ8 trigger out
- in AS echo module
- one output from the echo goes directly to the mixing board
- the other in an AMS JP8 filter, resonance high up, freq controlled by a (slow) LFO and a VCO (which I turn up at the end)
- other inputs in the filter: o some random stuff from the harvestman hertz donut o and equally random stuff from the synthesis technology cloud generator which was processed by the dopefer reverb
- all this goes into the AS frequency shifter (with some frequency modulation from another LFO) to give some stereo spread
- and this also goes into the mixing board."

Quasimidi Sirius JayB's sounds demo songs (2012)

YouTube Published on Jul 1, 2012 by Hanni13579

"DOWNLOAD sound bank: http://www.jaybmusic.net/sounds.html

No live video this time to demonstrate my new sounds for the Quasimidi Sirius. Up to two Siriussessess - since three melody tracks isn't enough - and some full arrangements with drums and everything.
All sounds are 100% Quasimidi Sirius. External effects: EQ, Multi-band compressor.

Monoceros

"Real time studio recording with the modular synthesizer.
An Analog Shift register starts the piece. Then various sequencer driven parts follow. I'm playing a monophonic line while mixing waveforms through an Ian Fritz 5 Pulser wave modifier.
Recorded in Cubase 6.5 and Final Cut Pro X."

Accessing the Casio CZ Series Hidden Waveforms

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
Accessed via the iCZ - iControlMIDI (iTunes) Casio CZ series editor on iPad.
Quick tutorial: The Casio CZ series are Phase Distortion synths - Casio's version FM synthesis. With Yamaha FM synthesis there are carrier waveforms and modulator waveforms. The carrier is what you hear and the modulator modulates. The DX7 has various combinations of them modulating each other referred to as algorithms. On the CZ series, and referenced below, Waves are carriers and "Window Waves" are modulators.

"We are using a Line 1 + Line 2' structure, but not using both Lines at the same time. Line 1 DCO Wave 1 is Null (Hidden Wave); Line 1 DCO Wave 2 is Sine Sync and Line 1 Window Wave is Triangle. Line 2 DCO Wave 1 is Double Sine; Line 2 DCO Wave 2 is Off and Line 2 Window Wave is Spike (Hidden Wave).
In the first part, only Line 1 can be heard.
In the second part, we are using iControlMIDI increase the DCW1 Level 1 to max which makes the Window Modulation sounds like a resonant filter.
In the third part and last, we are using iControlMIDI to add Line 2' (so with Detune) and you can hear the Window Wave Spike effect which almost sounds like a distortion whereas the Line 2 DCO Wave 1 Double Sine sounds like a back-end sawtooth.
There is a very short software delay and software chorus."
