ArcWave Reaktor Ensemble

Published on Jun 20, 2013 David Anthony Hickman·4 videos

"ArcWave is a granular re-synthesiser for Native Instruments Reaktor that uses samples in place of oscillators allowing very diverse waveform generation from virtually any conceivable sound source.

The Demo Track "UnderWater ArcLight" was improvised live using ArcWave, no other synths, effects or sounds have been used.

The track was recorded in Logic on a MacBook Pro and uses only 9 patches.

Each part was independently bounced down before playing the next, leaving 9 recorded audio tracks at the mixing stage, two of the tracks had a small amount of EQ cut at about 500 Hz to remove some of the energy, plus a bit of automation was then used to control the track levels.

The finished mix was then bounced through a 5 band compressor in Logic to produce the 24bit master, no post processing has been added."

Follow-up to Analog Sweden Presents Synthesizer Posters by HR-FM

"We live and breathe synthesizer, and there's not enough nice synthesizer related art to hang on your wall. That's what we thought, and we were delighted and proud that Japanese artist HR-FM wanted to do not only one, but TWO original pieces for Analog Sweden! Together with the art we release a free track that goes with the theme. If you're a skilled artist having ideas for synthesizer related art - don't hesitate to contact us!

AS001 DX FUTURISM - by HR-FM
Limited print, 250 copies
Size 42x56 cm, 250 gr printed on semi matte paper

The Yamaha DX7 killed the whole analog synthesizer market when it was introduced. The analog companies tried to fight the digital Godzilla, but failed like doomed dinosaurs. World dominance was inevitable with its low price and supreme stability and over 160.000 machines sold. But, it felt like something was lost - the soul had vanished and was replaced by digital perfection.

Thor is a comprehensive synth app for the iPad.

It's the same semi-modular synth with the same set of selectable oscillator and filter types and the same advanced routing of audio and modulation.

Aside from a regular piano style keyboard, Thor features a keyboard that can be locked to specific keys and scales, making it impossible to hit a wrong note. This is particularly useful on a mobile device when playing directly on the screen. More than just helping the player to stay in key, this musically aware keyboard is a source of endless inspiration and experimentation."

• Piano keyboard with transpose and range control

Make Noise Records: Shared System Surachai Preview

To stop and start the video click anywhere on the screen. To hear audio click on the speaker icon on the top left. It's a five second video loop that will play until you either scroll down or manually stop it.

I haven't jumped on the Vine bandwagon yet for posts as five seconds isn't much, but I thought this one deserved a post. It's an interesting part of synth history as it is part of the Make Noise Records Shared System releases and a preview of Surachai's (of TRASH_AUDIO) upcoming release on the system. It is also kind of cool to see the routing of the patch scroll by. This is the first post with a Vine embed so there's that as well. :)

If you are not familiar with the Make Noise Shared System releases, see the label below. Note the label captures the Make Noise Records Shared System posts. For the Make Noise Shared system eurorack modular as well search for Make Noise Shared System in the blogger search box on the top left of the site.
