ARP 2600 Filter Modulation Patching

Published on Apr 19, 2017 Meta Function

"In this video, Meta Function demonstrate filter modulation patching on an ARP 2600.

The ARP 2600 is famous for providing the sound of R2D2 in the original Star Wars film, its heavy use on Stevie Wonder's early material and providing the main riff on Underworld's 'Rez". This is a V4.0 2600 released in 1974 and features ARP's then new G-clef logo alongside the sort after Model 4012 filter (which was a copy of Moog's patented ladder-filter design that eventually led to a legal dispute forcing ARP to design a new filter).

In this video a mix of saw and square waveshapes from oscillator one are run through the lowpass ladder filter. With oscillator 2 and 3 running as LFOs, various filter modulations are patched including Env 2, S&H, the Voltage Processor and the Electronic Switch. Due to the switching and voltage processes, interesting filter modulation can be heard as LFO 1 sine switches or inverts LFO 2 square.

Sequenced via a Sequentix Cirklon.

Audio recorded via Calrec S2 console and SSL convertors. All dry, no FX, EQ or compression. The only post production performed was normalization.

Watch at 1080p with good quality audio monitoring for the best experience.

Meta Function developed the Max For Live synthesizer, the Wave Junction in partnership with Sonicstate.com. A four voice paraphonic synth with 2 multi-mode osc, three multi-mode filters, 5 LFOs, 5 Envs and a 12 slot modulation matrix.

You can buy it from Sonicstate right here for £19.95:

Note: Ableton Live 9.6.1 and Max4Live 7.2.2 required.

Published on Apr 19, 2017 MAKEN0ISE

"This video covers the Sound Object and Microsound scales of the Morphagene. On this scale the Morphagene's fludity of motion through time is particularly evident, as it lets us explore very small pieces of sound in great detail."

DJ Pierre - Acid House Pioneer: Artist Feature

Published on Apr 19, 2017 Propellerhead

"Here’s a thought experiment… how many musicians can you name that invented an entire musical genre from a single song which the genre even takes its name from? Is there a song called Jazz? Did someone write a track called Blues? No. That unique honor is reserved for Phuture and their song Acid Tracks, from which the global cultural movement of Acid House was born.

DJ Pierre sat down to tell us the stories of his early days, show us around his latest work, and share some of the new talent and artistry he's nurturing in his creative incubator space at Afro Acid Digital in Atlanta."

Roland SH-1000 synthesizer improv by Raymond Castile

Published on Apr 18, 2017 raycastile

"My Yamaha CS-60 is undergoing its third round of restoration (hopefully the last round). So while it's gone, I'll occupy my time getting to know this Roland SH-1000 that I recently purchased.

The SH-1000 was introduced in 1973. It was the first synthesizer produced by Roland. This is a historic synth! You can hear it in the early music of Vangelis and Mike Oldfield. It has been said that Blondie used it for the baseline in Heart of Glass, but I think that has been proven false. It's a primitive synth, but has a unique sound. I'm using a vintage Roland FV-1 foot pedal to control the filter. (It doesn't seem to work with modern pedals.) The pedal really makes it come alive.

This is my first monophonic synthesizer! Yes, I've owned nothing but polys until now. I must say, playing a mono synth takes some getting used to. I've read that audio levels on monophonic synths tend to run hot. That's definitely the case with this one. You can hear it clip and distort here and there in the video. I'll have to learn how to deal with the levels. There is an art to it. I have another mono synth on its way, so I should have plenty of opportunity to practice learning to play and mix them properly."
