Fifteen minutes of CS80...!

Published on Jun 11, 2016 noddyspuncture

"Just messing on my CS80. Some noises and a tune. It's quite an instrument and there is really no substitute. I did notice, however that one voice card on channel 1 does need a slight tuning-in. Maybe time for the lid up soon and some maintenance... :)"

Kickstarter Campaign to Republish Daphne Oram's "An Individual Note: of Music, Sound and Electronics"

You'll find the Kickstarter campaign here.

"A pioneer and little-known visionary whose work has been a major influence on the development of British experimental electronic music.

By republishing her seminal book "An Individual Note: of Music, Sound and Electronics" we want to write Daphne Oram back into music history; sharing her vision with new generations of musicians, composers, musicologists and contemporary music lovers.

We want to establish Daphne Oram as one of the UK’s leading modern composers, but we can't make this happen without your support.

Daphne Oram (1925-2003) was ahead of her time. She was a remarkable and inspirational woman who should be recognised and remembered as one of Britain’s leading cultural and historically significant figures.

She was the first Director of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, which she co-founded in 1958, after years of persuasion and perseverance. She predicted that computers and electronics would revolutionise music decades before they became popular, and invented a new form of sound synthesis – Oramics – which was a significant step towards this revolution.

She was truly passionate and dedicated to her work. She composed a number of radical pieces such as Still Point. She lectured on electronic music throughout her career and, in 1972, she wrote her seminal book, “An Individual Note: of Music, Sound and Electronics”, which was a pioneering explanation of electronics in relation to music and sound.

When Daphne Oram first wrote and published the book, electronic music was still in its infancy. The book’s depth and its exploration was unprecedented, and her ideas and theories radical. Now that electronic music is an established and popular field, it is important that the book is redistributed to allow more people to learn and benefit from reading it.

In 2017 it will be 45 years since Daphne Oram’s book was first published. There are only a handful of copies available to access, and we want to share her story far and wide with future composers, producers and fans..."

The DRUM8 and MONODRUM - New 4HP Drum Modules from DSP Synthesizers

"The DRUM8 4HP Module is an 8-voice polyphonic drum sample module with 8 drum sounds.

Sounds include Kick, Snare, Hihat, Tom, Clap, Cowbell, Clave and Cabasa.

Featuring 8 positive edge trig inputs it also has a global analog accent CV input with a range of +6dB to +48dB, a global Tune knob and CV for a sample rate modulation of 15% to 400% rate and a mono audio output.

It’s a great drumset in just 4HP but add the MONODRUM module below and it makes an even greater kit in only 8HP."

"The MONODRUM 4HP Module is a drum sample module with a single drum sound.
It’s purpose is to add hithat, crash or ride samples to any analog drum modules that normaly does not include these sampled sounds.

It also pairs well with our other 4HP drum modules that does not include these longer sampled sounds.

Featuring a positive edge trig input it also has an analog accent CV input with a range of +6dB to +48dB, a Tune knob and CV for a sample rate modulation of 15% to 400% rate and a mono audio output.

It is delivered with a ride sample but can of course host other samples."

Moog Mother-32, DSI Pro 2, Supernova II - sequence jam

"Making big use of performance controls on the Pro 2, in particular the Latch on slider 1. This control 'freezes' the delay, and all controls affect multiple parameters. Not just simultaneously, but AT THE SAME TIME as well!"

Novation Circuit featuring OP-1 and Electribe in Hot Food - an improv jam

Published on Jun 11, 2016 Terrible Beat

"I put these devices on a table, plugged them in and proceeded to poke them in hope for some kind of musical response.

The Circuit was in sync with the Electribe (which was providing the drums). The OP-1 was used for sampling and noodling. The Circuit does all the bass, most melodies and even some beats.

They are all great devices. I rank them in the following order:

1. Teenage Engineering OP-1: An amazing fully featured music machine. So much fun.

2. Novation Circuit: So easy to get great ideas out of a few minutes of poking about. The visualisation of the sequencer and the automatible parameters make it a powerful inexpensive device.

3. Korg Electribe synth version: 16 channels to work with, lots of nice oscillators, and FX. Sequencer can be a bit too menu heavy when you want to get detailed. A jack of most trade, but I feel it's a master of none. I enjoy it, but the 2 devices mentioned above are far more fun to use.
