Eurorack Patch Performance: ‘The Machines of Iwato’

Eurorack Patch Performance: 'The Machines of Iwato' from Kial on Vimeo.

"An ambient piece performed with all hardware, that was recorded in one take with no over-dubs, or post-processing. Hardware used: a 6U Eurorack modular system, MOTU896HD, and the DigiTech Polara reverb pedal. This is a hands-on performance with the same patch from the 'Self-Generative #3' video, but here the setting and knobs are constantly being altered to create more of a song structure. The music is available for free DL via BandCamp-->

Major Update for SoundScaper Released

SoundScaper - Demo of oscillator presets and creating new sounds

Published on Aug 2, 2016 Igor Vasiliev

iTunes: SoundScaper - An experimental sound mini lab - iMusicAlbum

"SoundScaper is an experimental sound mini lab for creating unusual soundscapes, atmospheric textures, drones, glitches and noises based on circuit bending principles."

iTunes: SoundScaper - An experimental sound mini lab - iMusicAlbum

"What's New in Version 1.7

This update significantly expands functionality of oscillators which are the basis of sound generation in SoundScaper. With new oscillators you can experiment mangling the samples by using amplitude and frequency modulations, adding a natural dynamical noise and simulate any other failures by using degradation and unstable work of electronic circuits. All of this with addition of ready to use presets opens new space for constructing unique soundscapes and textures.

● Ready-to-use oscillator presets.
● New user interface of oscillator control panel.
● Improved internal sound engine.
● Amplitude modulation of output signal.
● Sine and triangle waveforms of amplitude modulation.
● Change PWM carrier frequency for more lofi effect.
● Simulate degradation of PWM circuits / decrease bit depth.
● Control of unstability of oscillator clock.
● Three types of generated noise like the real circuits.
● Additional control for level of noise.
● Two range individual LFO for modulation of clock frequency.
● Frequency modulation by output signal from other oscillators.
● Added the mode when trigger waits end of sample playback.
● Trigger can shift bits on address lines.
● Reverse shift mode of bits on address lines.
● Improved presets / samples list in the oscillator panel.
● Button for preview sample in the list.
● Added samples in built-in library.
● Updated description of the application.
● Description available as PDF on application site.
● Several minor bugs have been fixed."

waverails for iPad

Published on Jul 31, 2016 Signal Narrative

iTunes: waverails - Benjamin Olson

"waverails for iPad is a modular path-based loop processor, inspired by avant-garde tape music and early electromechanical musical contraptions. Instead of recording, overdubbing and splicing together tape, waverails lets you splice, warp, blend and reverse audio (live input and/or samples) in real-time by using path-based modular components. waverails can be used as an audio processor or live performance tool to create effects and performances that aren't easily replicated in real-time with traditional audio software and effects.

More information: signalnarrative.com/waverails

Note: the audio quality in the video is below the app's audio quality due to an issue with the screen capture software."

"Create:
Lo-fi warped sound collages
Phased loops (just like your favorite 20th century minimalist composers!)
Chopped up real-time glitchy beats
Massive glittery ambience
Granular textures
Harmonic and rhythmic effects that transform input sounds into music

Features:
Audiobus support (filter port)
Control each modular component’s parameters in real time
Jump functionality lets you easily set cues and sync object positions and speeds
Fine grained or musical interval-based speed control
BPM control to match audio input tempo
Perform any task with a few taps, without needing any gestures/long presses.
No additional hardware or apps required, create new sounds using internal or imported samples
Info function to share and learn information about custom patches.

note: full patch editing and save functionality require in-app purchase"
