Oberheim Two Voice Pro demo #2

Published on Sep 13, 2017 Boele Gerkes

"Filter FM on both SEMs with external (tracking) oscillators. I also used two euro rack envelopes to modulate the pitch of one SEM vco and the other to modulate the other SEM VCA. The internal two sequencers are used, synced to MIDI clock from DAW"

"Three Oberheim DMX drum machine rhythms, at different tempos"

Expressive Organelle

Published on Sep 13, 2017 Mark Harris

"This is a technical preview of my MEC application allowing an Eigenharp to be used directly with an Organelle, to allow a more expressive interface.

The aim was simple, add more expressive possibilities but to keep the portability of the setup, something that can be taken out and about and enjoyed. No computer required :)

notes:
- Im running off a USB battery with a 9v converter, which would last 12-20 hours depending on usage.
- MEC will work with any Eigenharp controller - Alpha, Tau or Pico, and runs on Mac, Linux (x86 and ARM)
- Pico and Axoloti are both bus powered off the Organelle.
- Axoloti is running an MPE enabled patch, sound is sent to Organelle via a small patch cable.
- The Pico would typically be held in the hands, and also features breath control... but was a bit difficult to film, so sat it on a table.
- Sound is recorded directly on the camera, all effects are from either the Organelle or Axoloti."

Modular Workshop - Live @ Analogue Zone Showroom E03

Streamed live 36 minutes ago

"Modular Workshop - Live from the Showroom

This week's episode still focuses on the Stillson Hammer MKII.
Ramin will work backwards this time: he will build a track from scratch, so that you can see the whole patch built up live. We will show how to program the Stillson Hammer for bass and leads, and the Varigate 8+ for building a 4/4 kick first followed by the clap. Then he will shift grooves for the percussion section, while utilising the SH's modulation outputs on the Mutant series modules' parameters. We'll end up with a techno groove with a plethora of possibilities on the fly. Join us & get inspired with us!

Modular Workshop is a weekly live series from the Analogue Zone Budapest showroom with our experienced modular electronic music performer & friend, Ramin Sayyah. The series was created in order to introduce either one particular module or a very special selection of module-combinations to make various kinds of music with them.

A new episode is streamed live every Wednesday on Analogue Zone's Youtube channel. After a short live performance, Ramin walks us through the building blocks of the patch and answers any questions raised by the viewers.

Tune in every Wednesday afternoon for the show and feel free to ask questions directly during the live stream - also let us know if you want to pay a visit to the showroom during the live show: we can accept a few guests too.

Audio Damage Releases Axon 2 - AI Driven Drum Synth

Axon 2 is now available at the Audio Damage website here.

Details:

"Axon 2 is a drum synth driven by artificial intelligence. (Well, 'intelligence' might be a strong word. Artificial something-or-other.) An experimental instrument, Axon uses a modified artificial neural network as a sequencer, and features seven FM-based percussion voices, that are really a single 18-operator FM voice.

If that sounds weird, you ain't seen nothing yet. It is surprisingly intuitive once you get the knack of it, and is capable of all-new, complex rhythms that repeat in surprising ways. It often gets referenced as a "random sequence generator," but there is nothing random in Axon; it is entirely determinative.

The sequencer features seven "neurons" that trigger a voice and send a pulse when they have received a predetermined number of pulses. You can wire the output of any neuron to the input of any other (with built-in loop detection to prevent runaway feedback), and in this manner pre-program the artificial neural network without having to go through a "learning" phase.

The seven individual drum voices, each triggered by its attendant neuron, are 2-operator FM voices in a configuration to best make percussion sounds, with additional FM and AM busses that all voices send to and receive from. Each voice has a HPF, distortion circuit, and white noise generator to provide a full range of percussion-oriented voicing individually, while interacting with each other in new and unique ways.

Features

• Artificial Neural Network sequencer features seven neurons, and is easily programmed to create strange new repeating rhythms.

• Seven FM percussion voices that also buss together to create a single monolithic complex percussion synthesizer.

• Full mixer with pan, level, mute, and solo on each voice.

• Built-in stereo delay with X/Y pad control over feedback and filter frequency, for live playability.

• MIDI in and out, for driving Axon from DAW and hardware sequencers, or driving your drum rack or other samples from Axon.

• Internal transport for non-synchronized playback.

• Resizable vector-based user interface.

• Drawn reciprocation dingle arm to reduce sinusoidal depleneration.

• XML-based cross-platform, human-readable preset system, with copy/paste, for easy transferring of your own presets and third-party offerings."

If the Theremin was Pavarotti

If the Theremin was Pavarotti (10th anniversary rare video) - Decostruttori Postmodernisti

Published on Sep 4, 2017 Decostruttori Postmodernisti

"Being Italian, it is our precise and hugely pleasant duty to honor those Italians who were able to make the world a better place by creating immortal artworks and unforgettable emotions. Among those there is the biggest of the big, Luciano Pavarotti, that we want to celebrate - 10 years after his untimely passing - with a video as irreverent as full of love for a man that keeps sending chills down the spines of us Opera enthusiasts.

Siamo italiani e non possiamo (né vogliamo) esimerci dall'omaggiare chi dei nostri connazionali ha regalato al mondo opere immortali ed emozioni straordinarie. Tra questi c'è il grande tra i grandi, Luciano Pavarotti, che a 10 anni dalla scomparsa celebriamo con un video tanto irriverente quanto pregno d'amore nei confronti di chi per sempre farà scorrere brividi lungo le schiene di noi appassionati d'Opera.

Arrangement: Massimo Cervini

DECOSTRUTTORI POSTMODERNISTI
Four professional musicians combining an astute technical performance with the verve of cabaret. For both a refined and curious ear. Decostruttori Postmodernisti – or if you like, Postmodern Deconstructionists – perform with a piano, violin, cello and a theremin.

Quattro musicisti di professione capaci di unire un'attenta esecuzione tecnica con la verve da cabaret. I Decostruttori Postmodernisti si esibiscono con un pianoforte, un violino, un violoncello e un theremin.
