Robocop's Murphy's Law / Закон Мерфи by Soviet Space Child

via Soviet Space Child, also posted on MATRIXSYNTH-C.

Synths: The first sound that you hear is the Q+.  The chimes and pad that follow are the XTk 30. The brassy parts which come in at 0:46. and again at 2:17 are the Alesis Andromeda A6.

The track: "This is my first attempt at a cover, in this case giving the Robocop theme an 80's makeover, where the original was an orchestral score.

I haven't seen this movie in a very long time, and I never realized how dark it was. As a kid, I remember liking it because it was about a badass robot who shot up the bad guys. In reality, it's a film about a normal guy who loses his humanity. Dark stuff indeed. The new film has some very big shoes to fill."

"The Analog Lab's next Tech Mentoring Course Starts 9.10.13!

Do you wish you were able to fix and maintain your own gear? Ever wanted to know what an oscilloscope does and how to use it?

Twice a year, the Analog Lab offers a complete technical hands-on mentoring program for those individuals who have an interest in being a professional gear tech or gear designer. Classes meet twice a week for 10 weeks and cover subjects such as electronic safety, components, circuit design (using examples from classic analog synths), etc. Each student chooses their own final repair or build project so you come away with a new or restored piece of gear! Jeff Blenkinsopp, The Sonic Wizard, administers classes and has been involved with analog synthesizers and their design and repair for more than 30 years. You can read more of Jeff’s bio here: http://www.earsnyc.com/blenkinsopp.html

You will leave the course with a “real world” education that you can’t get anywhere else!

There are no more than 6 students to a class, and only a few spots left so don’t delay in signing up!" You can sign up by emailing The Analog Lab at theanaloglab at gmail.com.

The Analog Lab NYC - Harlan Muir | Lander, You Crazy : Korg PS-3200

Published on Aug 13, 2013 TheAnalogLab·43 videos

"A Korg PS-3200 that was recently repaired by The Analog Lab in NYC.

As is typical with Korg PS series repairs, many of the edge connectors in this unit were cracked and coming apart. We replaced all edge connectors and rewired the entire cabinet, amongst other repairs and it's now sounding beautiful.

This is the last synth in the Korg PS Series, and one of the earliest Korgs with memory.

Music by Harlan Muir."

Maths 2013 Bouncing Ball patch tutorial

Maths 2013 Bouncing Ball patch tutorial from Peter Speer on Vimeo.

"Using the 2013 version of Maths to simplify the classic 'Bouncing Ball' patch.

The first video shows the basic set-up of the patch:
Ch.1 EOR --> Ch.4 Cycle
Ch. 1 out --> Ch. 4 Fall/Both/Rise in
Ch. 1 Trig --> Trigger source
Ch. 4 out --> CV in on VCA 1
(VCO --> Signal in on VCA 1)
(VCA 1 out --> monitors)

The second video expands on this a bit (notice the change in Ch.1's scaling):
VCA out --> VCA 2 Signal in
Ch. 1 Unity out --> VCA 2 CV in
Ch.1 Unity out --> CV in on VCA 2
(VCA 2 out --> monitors)

The third video shows a quick idea of how this sort of patch might be used in a slightly more complex setting.

Andreas Tillander Interview Focused on Roland x0x Series on Attack.

via Greg Cole on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge:

"what do you get if you add 2x202, 2x303,2x606, 707 and 808? I make it 3737 but this fella reckons it's 404. Interview for the xOx fans here: http://www.attackmagazine.com/features/interview/andreas-tilliander-tm404/"

"Andreas Tilliander’s latest album sees him focus his attentions on Roland’s classic x0x series. We spoke to him to find out how the project came about and discover how he avoids techno cliches."

"In the first half of the 1980s, Roland produced a string of instruments which would go on to define genres and change the course of musical history forever. The SH-101, MC-202, TB-303, TR-606, TR-707, TR-808 and TR-909 are iconic pieces of equipment, without which electronic music would sound very very different. In fact, the only member of the x0x series which is a bit of a dud is 1986′s TR-505. The less said about that one the better…"

MyOneManBand sequencing external MIDI gear with a Tenori-on

MOMB Tenori Tutorial

Published on Aug 8, 2013

"I thought I would do a little video showing how the Tenorion can be used as an awesome multi-channel MIDI step sequencer.

The great thing is every channel can run at its own speed and also you can save variations of the sequence at different points and then move between them during the performance.

I hope you enjoy the tune, let me know if you have any questions.

........................................
About Me :
MyOneManBand is the name I give to the live improvisational electronica that I create in real-time out of sounds from many instruments, often using a mixture of organic sound sets such at classical guitar, marimba, dulcimer, kalimba, accordion and drums with synthetic textures electronic percussion, beeps, bleeps and hiss.

I make music to please an urge that exists within me to see what is possible to accomplish on my own with no pre-recording or backing tracks. I came to this way of working through the live-looping process using audio recording tools such as the Boss Loopstation and Echoplex Digital Pro, but I now find for the main part that MIDI is more flexible for what I do as it allows the musical structures of my work to remain flexible in real time so I can add and strip away layers in a non linear way.

I also make music to take my own small space within the context of the many great artists who are also working in the field and as such I am on a journey that does not expect reward financially or through the more conventional measures of success, but rather I hope to find value in my work through the people who I meet through its undertaking and the ideas and thoughts that they bring into my life.
I am therefore always eager to engage with my views through critique, help or just to talk geek for a while...please...never be afraid to get in touch.

Thanks very much for watching, if you like my work , please consider subscribing to help me continue to spread my work to like minded people.
