Modular Synthesis for Neophytes

Published on Jul 23, 2014 MAKEN0ISE

"Make Noise interns Safarii, Asher and Adam came into the Make Noise shop 10 weeks ago with no knowledge of modular synthesis. They learned quite a bit from Walker and Tony and now they are presenting this video to teach the complete neophyte some of the basic principles of modular synthesis.

From here you could move on to:

Make Noise System Tutorial 1: Basic Sequencing

Published on May 7, 2014

"Demonstration of patching a basic sequence with the Make Noise System.

Will work with System Two, Shared System, CCC, or any System including Optomix, DPO or STO, René, and MATHS or Function.

"Sonata for Machines" - (Solo) w/ Doepfer A101-2 LPG

Published on Jul 23, 2014 Strange UFO Music

"Added a Doepfer A101-2 Low Pass Gate, Vactrol filter. Can be used as filter and/or a vca. Has a mode that's inspired by the Buchla 291 Low Pass module.

My modular is currently under construction, adding a third row. But adding a new row usually means changing the previous row (see as pictured). recorded live on stereo tracks, no overdubs on this one. Patch used as pictured. Blue Lantern FM joystick sending resets or direction cv's to matrix sequencer."

Keychee Beat Making Performance on Push

Ableton Push on eBay

"We recently came across Push ninja Keychee, whose beatmaking process can also be a performance in itself. Playing the pads expressively while dialing in automation and new instrument layers on the fly, Keychee builds up and breaks down a track in real-time, in this video recorded in one take.

This video is the first of a set of videos showing artists creating a track with Push in one take -- shot with one steady-camera in real-time.

Keychee has generously made his set from the video available as a free download. Grab it at https://www.ableton.com/en/blog/keychee-push/

VGM #12 - Map Theme (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)

Yoshi's Island is one of my favorite games. I originally came up with the idea for this song for a competition, but I was three weeks late in getting the song done. But, I am still really happy with my arrangement, so here it is!

I really wanted to highlight the way the original built off of layering, while really making the song my own. This time I go a little more off the books, as far as the arrangement is concerned, channeling the funky fun of soul music. All while having a heck of a lot of fun with my doodads and gadgets. I hope you enjoy!

Also, I really wanted to switch things up and use my Tempest as a sequenced synth and use the analog 4 as the drummer. It was really interesting, but I gotta say, I love the live play accessibility of the Tempest. The Analog 4 is super powerful, but its mostly a device you do all of your leg work before performing. Anyways. Yeah."

Auditioning the Roland System 1 Synthesizer

Published on Jul 23, 2014 zibbybone

"Had some time to kill today, so I thought I'd check out the System 1 at my local music shop. I brought my Zoom Q4HD along and shot this short video before I was interrupted by a phone call. I did spend more time with the synth before shooting the video, but not enough to make a proper opinion. So far, it doesn't seem to do any more than my SH-01 Gaia. This particular System 1 did not have anything loaded into the 'Plug Out' section."

SynthX Demo for iPad, Another Blast From The Past

Published on Jul 22, 2014 thesoundtestroom

"SynthX is a great little synth that offers various ways to play it , lots of FX and total control over the sounds, the only downside here is that it does not support Audiobus or Inter App Audio."

SynthX is from Way Out Ware, developers of the acclaimed ARP 2600 emulation. Version 2.0 added a new "Solus" 2 oscillator per voice analog synth model. This is likely as close as you can get to having an authentic ARP synth model on the iPad.

via Oakley:

"The original and popular Oakley Filtrex design has been updated to create a new powerful filter processing unit. The Filtrex II contains:

A four pole true analogue filter. This is based on the famous transistor ladder filter developed by Dr Bob Moog in the 1960s. A front panel pot controls the filter cut-off frequency, another controls the resonance. The resonance control is configured not to cause volume drop when turned up. The filter can be made to oscillate if required.

Two filter outputs are available. One is the Fizz output. This is a type of -6dB/octave filter and it gives a unique filtering effect with a real bite. The other is the Smooth output. This is a classic -24dB/octave filter, and gives a smooth warm analogue filter sound. Each filter output goes via its own reversible attenuator. This means not only can you adjust the output level, but also the phase of the output signal. This allows complex filter shapes to be made when the two outputs are mixed together in various degrees. This includes a very nice sounding band pass filter.

A wet/dry control allows the filtered audio to be mixed with the original signal. Not only is this useful in controlling the depth of the effect, but it can also create unusual phasing and vibrato type effects.

A wide range pre-amplifier is included. You can use the Filtrex with virtually any input from guitars to synthesisers. A peak indicator will allow you to monitor overloads, although the Filtrex is designed to overdrive beautifully..."
