BANG by LIVESTOCK ELECTRONICS - overall review (ENGLISH VERSION)

Published on Oct 10, 2017 COLOR MY SOUND

"This is a review of BANG digital wavetable oscillator manufactured by LIVESTOCK ELECTRONICS. The review also appears in October (2017) issue of "Estrada i Studio" - biggest Polish monthly magazine devoted to music production and studio equipment."

via Livestock Electronics

"Bang is a lo-fi digital wavetable oscillator inspired by old game consoles. However it takes a totally new approach to wavetables synthesis: within a cycle it switches between so called chunks that are indexed as odd or even numbers. Waves can be assigned to these odd or even chunks, which allows for complex waveforms. The result is aliased, aggressive and absolute fun!

The module comes with six libraries containing 12 waves each. It is even possible to create own wave libraries using the supporting application for Mac and Windows."

Patch Exploration

"Due to a power issue I had to slim my system down a bit. Took a few days of trading out certain modules for other ones, looking for the right combination. This was what I ended up using along with my friends HEK.

PATCH NOTES:
I tried to center things around the Pressure Points. Multed out to Clouds or Telharmonic, I could have those modules play in "Stages" with each change on the Pressure Points. The 2Hp Freez is there for that little extra something it does so well. There are two Korg SQ-1s going that are mostly off camera."

Number Money (Avon, Stringer, Omar)

Published on Oct 10, 2017 Aidan Burns-Fulkerson

"Money. It’s value is made up, but the things people do for it are all too real. Some work diligently to better the world, while others are compensated immensely to do harm to the earth, animals, people. Humans increasingly live under systems of government that push the benefits to the rich and scapegoat the poor and powerless.

Please do what you can to resist, to protest, to better this place.

Dedicated to Frédéric Munsch on this day of protest."

Variable star wave tables for the SynthTech E352

Published on Oct 9, 2017 Steve Bryson

"Demonstration of a wave table for the Synthesis Technology E352 based on observations of the variable star RR Lyrae by the Kepler space telescope.

NOTE: there are rather terrible compression artifacts in the audio, particularly in the first section. Listen to the uncompressed audio file here: http://stevepur.com/music/electronic/RRLyr352DemoAudio.aif

RR Lyrae (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RR_Lyrae) varies in brightness by over a factor of 2 every 13.5 hours or so, with a characteristic pattern of variation. This particular star is good for musical sounds because the oscillations don't exactly repeat. Using observations from different times together, like in the video, creates a rich variation in phase and texture.

Details of these observations can be found at https://arxiv.org/pdf/1011.5908.pdf, https://arxiv.org/pdf/1208.4908.pdf and https://arxiv.org/pdf/1310.0543.pdf.

Each wave table breaks up three months of observation into 64 waves, with each wave having about two periods of oscillation. Each three-month period is called a "quarter", and the waves shown in the video are for quarter 5 (Q5) and quarter 6 (Q6) of Kepler's observations.

My thanks to Jon Jenkins for the code that I modified to make these wave tables."
