Korg Volca Sample Tutorial: Creating Endless Decay / Drones [by Schtang]


Published on Nov 25, 2015 Schtang

Cool trick.

"Here is a simple little trick to turn your Korg Volca Sample into a drone maker or simply make a sample loop forever!
All sounds used in this video were made from the Volca Sample Factory Default Samples.

Creating a drone is just one application that can be made utilizing this nifty trick. You could create atmosphere for your patterns or weird noise oscillations.
This trick can also be used to create transitions between two different patterns.
If you find this tutorial useful, or end up incorporating it in your music, please let me know about it and record it so I can check it out!"

Haken Continuum Goes To RUSSIA


Published on Feb 27, 2016 Peter Pringle

"Here’s something new and different for those of you who are interested in the Haken Continuum Fingerboard.

One of the new presets designed by audio wizard Edmund Eagan for the latest firmware version of the Haken Continuum is called TWO HANDED VOICE. As its name implies it takes two hands to control it: one hand for pitch, the other for the formant (i.e. the vowel sound you want to make - AH…EH…EE..OO…etc.) This precludes the possibility of playing another instrument simultaneously (such as a keyboard) because you don’t have a free hand to do it with. Normally, for the TWO HANDED VOICE, one hand moves from left to right on the upper part of the fingerboard (called the ‘Y’ axis), and the other from left to right on the lower part, with each hand controlling a different function.

So I devised “the FINGAH” (that’s New Yorkese for “finger”) which I cobbled together from bits & pieces I cannibalized from here & there. Never throw anything away because the minute you do you’re going to need it!!

Here is a video I made showing “the fingah” in action. The device fits snugly onto the Continuum, and exerts exactly the right amount of pressure on the upper part of the ‘Y’ axis, leaving one of your two hands free. The pressure (which is adjustable) is exerted by a roller, so there is no friction or drag on the neoprene fingerboard surface, and the formant can be modified by sliding the “fingah” along a rail that supports it from above. Everything is on roller bearings, both above and below, so it just seems to float along. Volume is controlled by finger pressure of the pitch hand. The “fingah” is hinged, like a lid, so you can easily lift it from the fingerboard when it is not in use, without having to remove it altogether from your setup.

Edmund Eagan’s TWO HANDED VOICE is the best, most versatile, and most consistently believable electronic vocal emulation I have ever heard. I love it….and it is so easy to play!"

Pic of the inside below.

"Truly an amazing piece of gear, that is actually more like a real instrument, with all of it's subtleties. There are literally endless possibilities for what can be done with it. There are 2 pedals, 2 sides, each parameter with it's own slider and a separate switch to reverse or disengage the pedal affect. Take a look at the rotary switch. Each click of this switch opens a different world of sound sculpting..."

Note it was manufactured by EMS in England for Musonics in the US. You can see it noted under the Bypass Mix towards the bottom center of the front panel.

Verbos Electronics - Touchplate Keyboard


via this auction

"The keyboard works perfectly and shows no rack rash or noticeable signs of use. What made this b-stock is that there is a damaged spot on the circuit board with jumper wire, and the keyboard is slightly bowed (see pictures). These issues do not effect the functions of the keyboard (and are unnoticeable when racked). Comes in original box with original documentation, packaging, ribbon power cable, and rack screws (with plastic washers)."

Automatonnetz: an "app" for the Ornament & Crime DIY eurorack synthesiser modulo


Published on Feb 27, 2016 Tim Churches

"A brief and not at all musical demonstration of the display for the Automatonnetz 'app' for the Ornament & Crime DIY eurorack synthesiser module. The Automatonnetz, coded up by Patrick Dowling, combines the neo-Riemannian triad chord transformations of the Harrington 1200 app, which also runs on the Ornament & Crime module, and which was inspired by the Noise Engineering Tonnetz Sequent module, with the 'Exfilnator' vector sequencer idea expressed by fcd72 (Frank) of d:Machinery. See https://github.com/patrickdowling/O_C... for more details."
