CIRCUITO ELETRÔNICO - Brazil's First Modular Synth Meet

via André Dessandes on Facebook

"We're proud to annouce the first Modular Synthesizer Meeting in Brazil."

CIRCUITO ELETRÔNICO
Saturday, August 18 at 11:00am in UTC-03 at Otto Bristot que fica na rua Pedro Tarques, 129 – Consolação"

"Blips, knobs, sweeps, drones! A música eletrônica vive seus dias de glória com o avanço da tecnologia, que vem democratizando e realizando uma verdadeira inclusão cultural, arregimentando uma nova classe de artistas que contam com um arsenal digital sem precedentes, ferramentas de criação e composição hoje disponíveis até para os smartphones mais convencionais. Mas quando foi que tudo isso começou? Como e quando surgiu essa forma tão particular de expressão musical? Pois é, muitos desses novos artistas fatalmente desconhecem que a música eletrônica contou com o esforço de grandes personagens, heróis que escreveram uma história de dedicação, empenho e criatividade, mentes brilhantes que deixaram um legado através de suas incríveis máquinas sonoras, e tudo isso muito antes da revolução dos computadores pessoais, antes até mesmo da chegada dos DJ’s, que ajudaram a difundir e popularizar o gênero. Fazer música eletrônica além de ser um grande desafio de produção, era um privilégio para poucos artistas. Somente aqueles que dominavam certos equipamentos eram capazes de construir suas composições, uma época dominada pelos sintetizadores analógicos, monstros movidos a sangue, suor e muita eletricidade. Desvendar os mistérios e cultuar essa religiosa relação entre voltagem e som, vem sendo a fissura de muitos artistas, produtores e construtores espalhados pelos quatro cantos do planeta. São rebeldes ativistas que buscam preservar a Belle Epoque da música eletrônica, numa luta criativa contra o fastfood digital. E pela primeira vez aqui no Brasil, no próximo dia 18 de agosto, São Paulo vai sediar um encontro dessa “Resistência Analógica”, que traz ao público a chance de passar um dia inteiro ao lado de quem faz e vive a cultura desses equipamentos. E a primeira edição do CIRCUITO ELETRÔNICO, evento dedicado aos sintetizadores analógicos, instrumentos que marcaram a história da música moderna. Essa edição do evento será aberta ao público, e os visitantes vão conhecer de perto o que os fabricantes nacionais estão aprontando, assistir a performance de artistas, escutar a experiência de produtores, e claro, poderão tocar e aprender um pouco sobre esse universo encantador e misterioso. O CIRCUITO ELETRÔNICO é um evento que marcará a reunião de cabeças pensantes, é o ponto zero de um movimento que está amadurecendo e ganhando atenção dentro e fora do país, colocando o Brasil de uma vez por todas na cena eletrônica mundial."

WerkBench Ambient Experiment **First look at 1.1.0!**


YouTube Published on Aug 3, 2012 by treasurecharger

"WerkBench is available in the app store: WerkBench - Bolasol, Inc.

Here is some ambient music generated from a single sample in real-time. The combination of pitch shifting and feedback makes for giant percolating pads. Enjoy!

All of the sounds are being sampled with the internal mic and speaker. I live in a noisy place so there is a lot of texture added with each level of feedback.

This video features WerkBench 1.1.0 which should be out in the first few weeks of August. I am making use of panning, high-pass filters, and decay settings for each step. These will be available soon!"

First pictured here. via Cwejman:

"The MMF-2 is a stereo multi mode filter which can operate in a true stereo mode or as two independent filters A variety of possible modifications and re-shaping of your sound material is the goal for the MMF-2; as a post production filter with mix and pre/post saturation and as a tool for experimentation with both mono and stereo audio material with all CV controllable parameters in full audio range. The module is build around three functional blocks; filter, saturation stage and mix.

FILTER
The heart of the MMF-2 are two four pole multi mode filters with six selectable outputs for the main stereo outputs; low pass, low-band pass, band pass, band-high pass, high pass and notch + bypass. Three outputs/filter are available too; low pass, band pass and high pass and which are not affected by the saturation in the post mode. The corner frequency (CUTOFF L and CUTOFF R) is individual for both filters and the MASTER CUTOFF controls both. The Q-PEAK determinates the resonance up to self oscillation point and is controlled individually or by the LEFT Q-PEAK when activated by the switch LINK TO LEFT. Both CUTOFF and Q-PEAK can be controlled manually and by inserted signal(s) in to the CV inputs. Those CV signals can control left and right filter and/or both when control signals are inserted in to the MASTER CV inputs.

SATURATION
The saturation stage consist of a saturation stage with dominant even harmonics (HARD) and with dominant odd harmonics (SOFT). The saturation effect is dependent of the signal strength so the degree of saturation in the pre- mode is controlled by the strength of the incoming signal and in the post mode by the level of the outgoing signal from the filter(s).

MIX
The MIX controls the proportion between the incoming "dry" audio signal and the "wet" signal from the filter with pre and post saturation circuit. The MIX works in stereo mode and it can be controlled manually by knob MIX and be the CV signal MIX. The direct outputs, LPF, BPF and HPF are not affected by the MIX."
