Here's a little vid I threw together for my 'Sounds From The Modular' sample collection, relased on Loopmasters 24th August 2012.

After almost a year of recording, production, planning & roadblocks, it's finally being unleashed!

What I had in mind when I started 'Sounds From The Modular' was to offer people an insight in to world of modular synthesis, and give people who might not have experienced some the analogue goodness capable of being created a chance to use these samples in their productions.

One of the key reasons I wanted to explore modular synthesis, aside from the obvious analogue quality to the sounds and gear lust, was that I wanted to break away from the conventional way I'd been producing electronic music with the Virus B and various soft synths, and I wanted to get more hands-on, more interactive, with what I do.

By mid-2011 I had completed the 6u modular. I found myself coming up with unique sounds and textures each time I tweaked away. For me, without doubt, this change in my musical tool kit has opened more doors creatively. It's an inspiring way of working, and my hope is that these sounds will inspire others too, both in their productions and also to explore the modular industry too. Although its popularity seems to be growing each year, the modular synthesis world is a fairly small community of manufacturers and users. By doing this project I hope to help that growth and show people the potential this approach to producing sounds can offer.

Each sound was recorded @ 44.1 kHz, 24 bit using an RME Multiface: mostly direct from the VCA output on the modular to input on the RME, sometimes via guitar pedals, a valve compressor or the Mackie desk. I tried throughout the project to maintain the highest quality possible. I went through each recording, treating the top and tail of each sound to ensure the zero cross points were all correct and all the loops have been exported from Ableton at 128bpm. Most of the sounds have a 'dry' version, without compression, effects or whatever was done to the sounds to make the 'wet' versions.

3 Octaves of Oberheim: SE ObieRack + Analogue Solutions Oberkorn MK3

YouTube Published on Aug 21, 2012 by rezfilter

"As the title suggests:

Here's the customized, ARP 2600 grey, [black] SE ObieRack (patched out with full CV, rear) being sequenced by the Analogue Solutions Oberkorn MK3. The ObieRack is producing the pure analogue sound heard in the track clip.

The oberkorn is controlling both SEMS in the ObieRack independently via Gate(s) X and Y and XY (both CVs fired). The filter of each SEM is also controlled via the Oberkorn, independently.

The ObieRack is being toggle switched up and down octaves to give a demonstration of timbre in these ranges. Transposition was done via a Jupiter 6 (off camera).

Only delay was placed onto the Obie channel for some extra spice.

All original music featured in the video.

Enjoy."

The Analog Session - April

YouTube Published on Aug 20, 2012 by mauriziodami

""April" is the second of 4 video-clips resulting from a session held at Alexander Robotnick's studio in April 2012.
Some cuts were made to bring the original 18 minute session down to a 10 minute video. No adjustment to the music was made in post-production. The parts played by Alexander Robotnick and Ludus Pinsky are totally improvised, with the exception of the theme. The rhythmic part and the bass line were written on the sequencer in the modular synth operated by Ludus Pinsky. Some other sequencer lines derive from the main bass line.
The video was shot by three standing cameras. The shots made by the mobile camera were mainly used to fill in the cuts.
"April" is part of The Analog Session's forth-coming album featuring Alexander Robotnick and Ludus Pinsky that will be released in November 2012 by Hot Elephant Music.
