Buchla 100 - The Complex Envelope

Published on Nov 7, 2013 DJjondent·210 videos

"Buchla 100 - Complex Envelope.

If you're wearing headphones keep the volume down as some of the frequencies are high.
Lots of preliminarily test sounds.

The term "complex envelope I believe was first coined by Morton Subotnick.

The basic patch uses just one oscillator (a 158) and four 180 attack generators.
I've added a 144 vco to this patch but the 158 still provides 90% of the sound.

A single tone (saw wave) from the 158 is fed into a 295 comb filter.
It's necessary to use a tone with lots of harmonics to give the filter
lots to work with.

I've added a 205 matrix mixer and a 281/292 combo for fun."

Modded Crumar Bit One with pulse width modulation

via this auction

"This is a 1984 Italian Crumar Bit One analog synthesizer with digital oscillators. The unit works perfectly and has had pulse width modulation custom added for the analog string sounds. VCF sawtooth modulation has also been added for some amazing sounds similar to gongs, ring modulation, and other sounds hard to describe. A manual knob also controls VCF freq for manual control of sweeps. You can definitely get peoples attention with the added modulation section- 4 knobs on the lower left. The knobs are a little off center, they don't fit the control shafts perfectly, but they were all I had and work fine regardless. The VCF in this synth is the CEM3328 making this a later version of the Bit One..."

Rheyne - Live Jam #89 (live looping, lights controlled by M4L)

Published on Nov 7, 2013 Rheyne·122 videos

"Live looping with USB controllers, iOS devices, and Ableton Live. All loops recorded live, nothing was pre-recorded. Lighting is controlled entirely by the instruments with Max for Live and an Enttec DMXIS.

Camera #2 was intended to provide a better view of what's going on under the table, but the table legs were blocking a couple of the lighting fixtures. Hopefully it still gives a good idea of what's going on underneath, as well as a better view of my monkey pajama pants and socks.

ROLAND SH-2000 Analog Synthesizer 1974 | HD DEMO

Published on Nov 7, 2013 AnalogAudio1·118 videos

"(c) 2013 by AnalogAudio1

I played the Roland SH-2000 with reverb effects from a Lexicon MPX-500 and delay effects from a Roland DEP-5.

The Roland SH-2000 is a preset monophonic analog synth with aftertouch. You can tweak the presets a bit with LFO and filter controls."

Beat Machine For iPad Tutorial/Review by A.I.R. Studio

Published on Jun 24, 2013 Anthony Alves·11 videos

"Welcome to Anthony's iPad Recording Studio where everything here is produced only on the iPad 4.
This great little app is one of the best sample/drum player real-time/step sequencer I have
used in iOS and I think I own them all. 24/16 bit player/sequencer that really gets you in control of your drum and sample tracks in a hurry. With a ton of depth for such a streamline app. I still found it hard to keep within the time limit and mention all the apps features. I think I covered most of them here. This app has really helped me out so I hope this review helps them and you.
My ratings ****/*****cheers."
