Dusty Patches Microset | Octatrack & Modular Synth

Published on Jul 5, 2017 Dusty Patches

"Composed on Eurorack modular synth and sampled into the Octatrack.

I began by creating chord progressions by patching Pressure Points to Ornament & Crime Acid Curds. PP gives you a bunch of knobs and 4 presets for setting chord shapes, root notes, etc.O_C sends pitch data to four different voices - Waveforms, Clouds, Loquelic, and Braids. The voices are triggered in interesting rhythms by Pam's New Workout. With a patch like this you can easily create interesting chord progressions.

The results were sampled into the Octatrack, where all the percussion, arrangement, and some effects were done. The Octatrack is also sending MIDI sequence data to the QMI2, which relays it in turn to Loquelic Iteritas and Braids for live modular goodness.

All of this audio is then routed back into the modular for more effects processing. fxbox is patched to Pressure Points for different touch effects. Choices provides a joystick to control the timbre of Loquelic Iteritas. And the Octatrack has two handfuls of live performance tweaking fun. I'm switching between the delay control and quick mute pages on the Octatrack. The crossfader is fading between different scenes of effects programmed in the arranger."

Moog Source Analog Synthesizer (1981) *Twenty Sounds*

"(c) 2017 vintage synthesizer demo by RetroSound

Moog Source Analog Synthesizer from the year 1981

The Source is a very nice synth and the first and only Moog to replaced the buttons with a membrane panel. And the first Z80 microprocessor-controlled Moog with patch memory.
The sound is fantastic, very deep and powerfull. I love the Sources incredible low end sound like the Moog Taurus 1. The best Taurus 1 emulation I have ever heard. In my ears better than the Taurus 3. The Source is perfect for very nice bass and lead sounds. For me one of the best monophonic analog synths ever."

Roland Tb303 Vs Tb-03 boutique BLIND TEST comparison (with stupid intro)

Published on Jul 5, 2017 Polynominaldotcom

"Just made some A/B comparison between original bassliner Tb303 and new Roland reissue Boutique Tb-03.

Same patterns played by both machine. Will you be able to reconize the real Mc Coy?

If you want to play the game just write in comment your solution.
e.g:
Test 1 / pattern1 : tb303
Test 2/ pattern 2: tb03

I added also a kind of funny intro - please don't take it too seriously, I'm training for video editing.

If you have time, please do visit my website for a lot of (serious) demo, info and pictures of synth.

Thanks

Unleash your paraphonic Mother-32 with the Arturia KeyStep

Published on Jul 5, 2017 loopop

"While the Mother-32 is formally known to have only one oscillator, it's actually quite easy to play paraphonic music using its "hidden" additional oscillators - the filter resonance and the LFO - with an additional external CV controller like the Arturia KeyStep"
