RMS No.10 - A Simple Sequence Using 'Pamela's Workout' and a Mixer


RMS No.10 - A Simple Sequence Using 'Pamela's Workout' and a Mixer from Random Modular Snippets on Vimeo.

"Featuring:- ALM - Pamela's Workout, Doepfer's A-110, A-138, A-140 and a touch of the Strymon El Capistan.

This is just a very simple sequence created by using Pamela's Workout and a mixer. With added ADSR and a touch of vibrato via an LFO.

If I'd thought on I would have just sent the source from the oscillator straight to the output and used the other mixer and the other Pamela's Workout outs for more action on the other oscillator."

"This electronic instrument allows you to sequence and loop audio and MIDI data. Most of the time I use it to sequence drum samples so I can play around with different beats and rhythms. The really great thing about this instrument is that it is very portable, it fits in your hands easily, runs off a single 9 volt battery, and has a headphone jack that you can plug into. If you connect it to your computer via usb you can also use it to send MIDI data, this way you can communicate with other electronic instruments or software environments that understand MIDI."

"Recently Propellerhead approached me about designing some sounds for a new FM synthesizer in Reason. As you may recall from some of my previous video tutorials, I showed you how to create an FM synth out of several Thors and a Combinator. The purpose was to demonstrate how to get some of the more modern, edgy FM sounds that we associate with dubstep and electro.

Although my method for creating FM sounds this way worked, Propellerhead have made this easier now with a new FM synthesizer engine, the PX7, now available as a Rack Extension for Reason 6.5. The PX7 is a true six-operator FM synth with some dazzling math behind it, resulting in a replica of the Yamaha DX7, the first commercially available FM synth from the early 1980s.

Just so you all know, the DX7 and I didn't have a great relationship when we first met. I first encountered it in the labs at Berklee when I was studying music synthesis. It was a million miles away from what I wanted to achieve soundwise. I was very into the big, fat, warm analog sounds that I was hearing in all the drum'n'bass tunes I was into at the time. The DX7 was also difficult to program at first. It didn't make sense to me and was really tedious. It had a very small display that required you to scroll through dozens upon dozens of parameters to create and edit a sound. More importantly to me at the time, it was seemingly not capable of producing the analog sounds I was into.

Years later, after a revival in software form, FM synthesis has found a very special place in my heart. I now find it to be very exciting as I am now very clear on what I can and can't do with it. I have developed an appreciation for the highly detailed and exotic sounds that FM can produce. So I hope you all enjoy and appreciate the irony of this situation and my love/hate relationship with FM throughout the years. Most importantly, I hope that you enjoy the lesson in the PX7 and ultimately FM synthesis. - Chris Petti"

monstrumWave - demo of wavetable and waveform editing


Published on Jan 10, 2013 msepsis·14 videos

No audio. Just a demo of the UI. monstrumWave is an editor for Waldorf Microwave II, XT and XTk synthesizers. You can find a demo with audio on MATRIXSYNTH-P here.

"Demonstration of the current nightly monstrumwave beta,2.796.

You can now retrieve, edit and store back to user presets on the synth wavetable and waveform data. Still working out some bugs, but as you can see the core is there.

I sell this editor at www.monstrummedia.com, the functionality demo'd here is not in the current release but will be sent out to all current customers when the monstrumWave 3.0 update comes."
