FH-1 as a Digital OSC - Mark Steiner

Published on Mar 13, 2016 Mark Steiner

"FH-1 LFO and Sequencer driving light and sound.

Texture Time!

I know it's a taste thing and there are some incredible digital modules out there, but I've struggled getting into them.

But I'm learning I like them when used for things that exploit the edges (as apposed to digital emulating smooth analog forms). So nice wave form mixes that included some squares and even with drifting pulse width. And now even sequencers, effectively creating flexible super squares. These are great textures that remind me of 8-bit/chiptune stuff and crunchy modem noise type things.

The FH-1 clocks so fast that it makes such digital forms is a really great way, and with very in-depth controls that get you DEEP into the details of the wave.

Raw skeleton of exploration here with the FH-1, as I'm just using 1 or 2 of the 8 outputs and only controlling pitch.

Imagine how much more in-depth it can be also sequencing filters and other modules and running these through tubes and warm or dirty analog VCA's. I've done some of this already and loving the surprise that the FH-1 offers with it's amazing rate of clocking and responding to clocking.

I've planned to and not yet explored digital OSC direction the Silent Way, and then ran into this. Still excited all the more to what Silent Way will be capable of with this direction, considering it's sample-accurate resolution."

sin(apse) Feedback Envelope Sequencer Drum Jam

Get Audulus for: iOS | Mac | Windows/Linux

"Two things had to happen to make this module possible: 1) I'm terrible at programming drums and want more automatic beat creation tools. 2) I recently got into Congotronics and polyrhythmic African music. The sin(apse) uses LFOs and envelope feedback to create spontaneous, dynamic, and humanized drumbeats.

At the heart of this module is a Demux-Mux pair. This pair is connected straight across - nothing in between, i.e., the outputs of the Demux are fed directly into the inputs of the Mux.

The Demux and Mux select inputs are driven by different sources - in this case, LFOs, and feedback from the module itself. When the Demux and Mux sync up, they pass signal, triggering an envelope.

The signal level passed is determined by the knob in the top right of the module.

The knob to the right of it is the Attack knob. Directly below these two knobs are the Demux and Mux select controls.

Below those knobs are the lower and upper thresholds for the envelope trigger. If a signal coming out of the Demux-Mux pair is lower or higher than the threshold controls, no signal passes.

The knobs at the bottom of the module are display knobs that show the relative position of the min and max threshold. The minimum value is kept automatically lower than the maximum value.

The 3 Mapper nodes control the individual feedback response of the DSR portion of the envelope. The three buttons turn the feedback to DSR portions on or off (off = setting of .01). To keep the DSR controls from going negative (and causing spontaneous time travel), their feedback inputs are clamped between 0-1.

The LFO or feedback is applied to the Demux-Mux selectors, driving the module. The rest of the modulations change the rhythm or amplitude.

The drums are created with oscillators and a noise source. With a 1/oct oscillator, you can plug the output of an envelope to the inputs for pitch and envelope to create a quick, naturally decaying and pitch modulating drum. Big drums like toms and kicks all detune slightly as they decay - if you note this and add pitch modulation to your drum sounds (just a pinch!) it will go a long way to injecting life into them.

ARP 2500 - My Resonator Addiction - Remix 2

Published on Mar 13, 2016 DJjondent

"This is Remix # 2 of 'Mr Resonator Addiction'.

Remix #1 is unlisted but can still be viewed here: [all parts here]

Anyway, I just can't get the sound out of my head. That resonator is a drug.

I thought the drums on remix 1 were too heavy, so i've softened them down a bit.I've added a few loop samples and one or two soft synths to the original ARP 2500 recording."
