Z4000 VC - Envelope Generator demo1

Published on Dec 15, 2012 by GM1ify

"In this example the Z4000 controls the frequency modulation of both Z2040s in the patch, one Z2040 is set to self oscillate while the other Z2040 pass sounds coming from the hats909. The light on the Z4000 swings from yellow to red as the envelope moves between the two polarities. Z8000 modulate the attack and sustain. Bass drum is coming from the ...yes the upcoming BD909. And a tad of delay by the Z-DSP."

Z4000 VC - Envelope Generator demo2

Published on Dec 15, 2012
"This patch is an example of how two Z4000 cross modulating each other, the out from the right Z4000 controls the frequency of the Z2040 but also triggers the left Z4000 which control the decay of the right Z4000 and on and on and on... Z3000s mix of saws are the sound going into the filter."

"Up for bid is a Roland MC-202 Microcomposer. If you're looking at this, you know that this is a classic analog synth (essentially the same synth engine as the Roland SH-101) attached to a very capable sequencer. With programmable Glide and Accents, the MC-202 can do sequences quite similar to the TB-303.

The 202 always had one key drawback: the incoming CV and Gate inputs used to trigger the internal synth had to go through the 202's internal microprocessor, which usually introduced variable delays and missed notes. This limited the 202's usefulness when driven by external sequencers.

This one, however, has been modified with a switch that allows you to choose between stock performance (using an external keyboard to program pitch values) OR to bypass the internal 202 microprocessor and go straight to the synth engine. There are some good videos on Youtube showing exactly how much better the performance of the 202 is with this mod. Only one hole was drilled for the switch (see the pics) and the switch was mounted in a relatively 'safe' place next to the Accent pot - this way, the switch won't catch on anything if you move the unit around.

Additionally, the synth has been given ALL new sliders, which feel smooth and perform perfectly. Functionally, I did a basic checkout and everything seems to work."

Elektron Analog Four + Machinedrum Dirty Techno

Published on Dec 15, 2012 by Jimmy Myhrman

"Slow-paced techno with lots of dirt and grit, thanks to the overdriven analog filter through which the drums are routed. Camera stopped recording beyond 10mins, but went on jamming anyway."

Spectralis 2 demo by Midera. Song: The Cold Descent

Published on Apr 18, 2012

"I've finally gotten around to posting a song I wrote using the Spectralis 2 and the Korg Radias. The only thing that the Radias was used for in this song was the bassline (sequenced via the Spectralis)"


Spectralis 2 Tutorials by acemonvw

Spectralis tutorial and demonstration: Machinedrum-like parameter locks
Published on Nov 7, 2012 by acemonvw

"Elektron products get a lot of buzz for having this unique 'parameter lock' mechanism, whereby certain parameters can be locked into place at any given step. I thought I would go through and show that this can be done with the spectralis as well (albeit, not as straightforward, but with more potential). I tried to make this as much of a tutorial as well as a demonstration of the capabilities of the spectralis.

In this video, I used only one oscillator (out of 4), one bass drum sample, one snare sample, and some filterbank sequencerlines. All of this could be easily done using the Spectralis mk1, as well as the mk2.

Need to create the drum sound? Follow the instructions at the website below, and route sound to the MM filter (instead of bypassing filters):
http://www.forum.radikaltechnologies.com/viewtopic.php?t=1228

I did not add any compressors, filters, or modify the sound in any way. The sum out was used and went directly into my soundcard, and into garageband. The final mix was done using iMovie. The camera used was the GR-HD1, in HD.

Please feel free to ask any questions, hopefully this was a helpful demonstration. I apologize in advance for how quickly some of my comments pass by, but you can pause it at any time, as well as ask me what I did.

Spectralis tutorial and demonstration: beat making and filter routing
Published on Nov 13, 2012

"An attempt at creating some RT Spectralis guides/walkthroughs, as well as show some of the more in-depth features of the Spectralis. This tutorial only utilizes drum parts and filters and is only a small glimpse of some of the things you can do with this incredible machine."
