A beat on the Linn 9000 by Jordan Passmore

Published on Aug 17, 2016 Jordan Passmore

"In this video I am adjusting and recording a beat on the Linn 9000 (a proto-MPC that does drums, sampling and MIDI sequencing). I adjust the tuning of some of the sounds (all stock sounds, no user samples) and adjust their levels to allow you to get a good idea of the sound of the Linn. No effects were used."

Live Jam #47 - Electro / Downtempo / Ambient - Korg er-1, Microkorg, Microbrute, eurorack

Published on Aug 17, 2016 Monotrail

"Started this jam with a simple clocked random melodic patch on the modular, and couldn't resists making a nice ambience around it. A little space exploration.

Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/monotrailmusic

Patch description:

Microbrute is the very recognizable slow gliding baseline. Microkorg plays the chords. Volca sample the steady kick and little wup. Korg er-1 the second kick and hats/noise/snare. Akai apc key 25 is triggering midi clips via Ableton, and two samples from freesound. The modular has a nice simple patch for the random high notes. Main voice is a Dixie II sine through the MMG. A fast sine from Peaks through a vca opened by a random voltage is modulating the Dixies fm. The melody comes from a clocked Doepfer a156 dual quantizer fed with a stepped random voltage from the MFB dual lfo, which in turn is modulated with a slow random voltage from Peaks.

Stuff used:
Korg Volca Sample, Korg Microkorg, Arturia Beatstep Pro, Arturia Microbrute, Akai APC key 25 and Eurorack modular system with:

Doepfer: a-118, a-119, a-124, a-143-4, a-148, a-156, a-160-2, a-199
Intellijel: Dixie II, uFold, Quadra, 2xTriat , Linux, mult
Make noise: MMG, Lxd
Mutable instruments: Clouds, Peaks
MFB: Dual LFO
Synthrotek: Echo, Deluxe power

Diy:
Quad attenuator

Audio via the Behringer mixer to a Moto Ultralite MK3 hybrid.
External effects: T.C electronics M350 for delay"

VGM #83: Sky Chase Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog 2)

Published on Aug 17, 2016 Ace Waters

"I had other plans for this weeks song. Plans I am working on right now for a future VGM. But Jake Slate commented that he was hoping for another classic Sonic cover, and I decided to honor that request. The idea of doing a super chilled out rendition of Sky Chase Zone just kind of took over. Sometimes you follow inspiration. Also, just want to let you all know I read your comments and I take note of all the requests I get. I can't always make it happen, and a lot of them will get forgotten about, but I look to them for inspiration, and when I find it, I follow it."

A DISTANT PAST 11082016 // MicroBrute, Zoom MS-70 CDR & Freesound samples

Published on Aug 17, 2016 Computing.Sound

"Arturia Microbrute plus Zoom MS-70CDR at the center of this piece.
The Doepfer modular in the background provides additional modulation.

I also used a bunch of CC0 samples from freesound.org:

4ms VCA Matrix modular synth jam performance & demo

Published on Aug 16, 2016 Patrick OBrien

"Featuring the power of the 4ms VCA Matrix!! This live modular synth jam / demo features the Eurorack module which has four CV or audio inputs that can be routed in any amount/combination to four outputs, using the 16 CV control jacks, Level knobs, and Mute buttons. More info on the module: http://www.4mspedals.com/vcam.php

4 Voices:
Kick: Mutable Instruments Peaks
Bass: Make Noise STO
Melody: Intellijel Dixie II+
Clap: Hexinverter Mutant Clap

Effects:
Reverb: Audio Damage AEverb
Delay: 4ms Dual Looping Delay
Granulation: Audio Damage Grainshift

The clock starts with the Make Noise Wogglebug feeding the Make Noise Tempi, which also clocks a Delptronics Triggerman, triggering CV to various channels. It also feeds the 4ms Pingable Envelope Generator to make a long kick trigger midway through the piece. I used Intellijel's Dual ADSR for envelope shaping. The melody is sequenced by Kilpatrick Audio K4815 Pattern Generator. Mutable Instruments Warps and Make Noise DPO were being used as CV also, giving a unique sound to some channels.

All 4 outputs of the 4ms Matrix were sent to a Malekko MUTE 4 outputting to Pittsburgh Modular Outs, sent to Ableton Live for master file creation for YouTube, SoundCloud, and Instagram.

-------------------------------

I recorded video with an iPhone 6+ then manually synced the video with the audio using iMovie.

-------------------------------

No computers were used in the performance of this piece. All modular synths, recorded live in a single take."
