Dusty Feel | OP-1 + Modular Synth + Guitar

Published on May 31, 2017 Dusty Patches

"Patch Notes:

This track started on the OP-1. Percussion and some synth work was laid down on the tape. The CWO effect is also stabbed in a few times. The OP-1 is in sync mode and is sending a clock to the modular.

There are two voices coming from the modular. Loquelic Iteritas, heavily modulated by Pam's, is providing the bass synth. The other voice is Ataraxic Translation, in all it's arcadey goodness. Pressure Points is hooked up to the Ornament & Crime analog shift register. The first row of knobs sets the modulus (distance between adjacent notes), the second row sets the range or scale of the pattern, and the third row sets the frequency of 'pings'. I'm switching these different sets of parameters with the touchplates of PP and opening the VCA with the Gate button on Choices. The final element of the modular I'm interacting with is the joystick on Choices. The Three Sisters linked filters module is fed the signal from the three voices (OP-1, Loquelic, and Ataraxic) in its Low, Centre, and High inputs. The X axis controls the frequency sweep and the Y axis controls Quality, or Resonance.

The guitar is an 8-string Kiesel Vader V8 running through a custom patch on the Axe FX II. The vocals were processed with Manipulator VST. Everything was recorded and mixed in Reaper.

Thanks for listening."

Elektron Digitakt & TE PO-32 : Sampling & sequencing

Published on May 31, 2017 Masaki Takada

"The sampling function of Elektron Digitakt is simple but very powerful.
While running the sequence, you can dynamically assign trimmed samples to each track.
You can also resample the sounds ringing inside the machine.
By using the monitor function of the recorder section, it is also possible to mix external sound sources simply with the sound inside Digitakt."

Elektron Digitakt - hands-on

Published on May 31, 2017 Future Music Magazine

"Simon Arblaster and Si Truss take the Elektron Digitakt for an early spin and check out some of the features of the latest sampling drum machine to come out of Gothenburg.

Elektron were kind enough to send us a unit prior to the shipping launch date, but as such, we were unable to take a look at Digitakt with the latest version of Overbridge, or the file management app, Elektron Transfer."

Published on May 31, 2017 Ally Mobbs

"A janky demo of a neater version of my previous pocket operator mod for the PO12 ( [here] ) on the new tonic PO32.

Using switches for FX and WRITE
Also has beat repeat that modulates the A and B parameters.
Tonic is synced to op1, this was the first time I tried that and its really fun."
