Dark Sessions 001 - Sleeping giants -

A patch featuring only the 5U/MU system. The system was triggerd/synched via the Synthesizers.com Q104 Midi interface, getting signals from ableton live. The signal synchs the Corsynth VCLFO and the Hexinvert quad simpleseq. Though the synching wasn't really necessary. Had it running from a different patch and just forgot to unplug it.
The whole thing was put through massive reverb from Ableton Lives own reverb VST. No other post processing.

Supermoon Preparation

"Performed on a modular synthesizer using Ableton Live for effects and mixing.

This piece emerged from the patch I was working on in preparation for a Supermoon music/camping party this weekend at my home in the Catskills. Other artists performing include two snake plants and a handful of people the likes of Gen Ken Montgomery, G Lucas Crane, Joe and Jon from Data Garden, Lampeo, et al.

The patch is intended to facilitate a 30-minute live set, while the recorded piece is one movement of the entire set. Tides is set up to be played either by René (as we hear in this movement) or by Yarns’ arpeggiator and/or directly from the QuNexus. Ableton Live provides additional reverb, delay, filtering, mixing, mutes, and looper, all controlled without the need to see the computer screen using an iPhone 6 running a custom Lemur template.

Variation in the patch is created by changing time using Yarns tempo and clock divisions and the steps and fills of ADDAC402, while changing pitch/tonality with René, QuNexus, Disting, and of course shaping envelopes, wiggling of knobs, and jamming out the effects with the Lemur interface.

"Here is the fully expanded and upgraded Waldorf Q Rack.

You will love the in-your-face sound of this synth.

Comes with User Manual and Power Cord.
This Just came back from Waldorf in Germany, I asked them to go over everything - The invoice is my proof of service. (See Photos).
The blue tape on the back is to cover a hole for an external power supply I was using after the original died. Waldorf replaced the internal power supply so that works now.
Some usual wear and tear for a synth of this age going in and out of racks.

On to the enhancements:
-Old LCD display has been replaced with a 40,000 hour Third Generation OLED Display. This thing really pops and the response is very fast.

-New Knobs - Phoenix Transparent knobs to be exact - No nasty hand oils left over from the previous owner :)

-Firmware Update - This new update has a new boot layout with a logo and includes all the latest fixes from Waldorf.

-32 Voice Expansion Card - Enjoy the full DSP expanded capabilities with more available voices!!

Put plainly, this baby is ready to rock and is fully serviced and functional!!!"

Published on Aug 27, 2015 audiothingies

"Short demo featuring 2 sounds made with a P6:
- The bass sound (this track is frozen inside Ableton Live)
- The polyphonic pad sound

I gradually add some step-sequenced LFO modulation to the filter cutoff.

Drum sounds come from a 'tweaked-to-taste' Max for Live drumsynth preset.
All sequences created/recorded with Push + Live 9"
