This is a follow-up to the announcement post yesterday. P.S. Some of you might have noticed the link to MTBLSM re-directed back here. I missed the "http://" in the link and Blogger doesn't handle it when you do. Apologies for that. The link is fixed. Thanks goes to John L Rice for catching it.
The following are few new pics captured from the MTBLSM website. It's cool to see some of the people behind the project!
Included is over 400 Trap samples (including multi-samples) and more than 150 Trap loops as well as over 80 sampler patches. You’ll find huge Trap kicks, rolling hi hats, punchy snares, melodic plucks, epic sound effects, vocals, basses and loads more.
New Loops Trap Kits is available in 2 separate formats - Wav Pack, and Reason ReFill (sold separately).
A thought hit me, one of the modes in the MI rings has a striking resemblance to a wurly sometimes when played in a special way.. so, i thought, what the heck, lets pair it up with the reface CP and see what happens. :)
The reface CP goes into the modular, it gets processed with a Sound on Sound delay reel in the morphagene in reverse. The reface also controls the Mi Rings via the uMIDI interface. Now since the rings technically is monophonic (eg just one note per note pressed) but when in poly mode four notes will overlap creating this weird flow when i play it like a piano. Also if i do trills legato style the character becomes flutelike when the transients cannot be heard. So cool!
MI Rings is getting a slight bit of modulation on brightness, position and damping.. but only when is start the sequence with PAM, this to help change the reaction of the sound compared with the intro.
MI Braids has a saw/square setting, where i morph between the waveforms using an LFO. Filter is uVCF, 2 oclock on resonance. Sequenced by octone, a 5-step sequence (of course).
Expert sleeper disting, does the bass note, randomly triggered by the 2hp TM. Ripples filter, and a bit of overdrive into the uVCA.
Two channels come out from the modular, Reface CP + RIngs into the keeley caverns for some modulated reverb plus delay. MI braids and ES disting into the RE-20 for a fast TD style berlin school delay.
This setup is super creative, and really begs to play ambient noodles for ages and ages.. but i had to stop at some time to not bore you guys. :)
"The Moog Drummer From Another Mother (DFAM) is here. Another semi-modular synthesizer following the same form factor as the Moog Mother 32. Aside from the onboard surface controls you get a 24 point patchbay for interconnectivity with other modular devices. Just like the Mother 32 this is a stand alone synthesizer but you can also use it as a Eurorack module."
"Haz Mat dropped by to show us how to 'tame the beast' in the latest installment of our new series, "The Process." The live techno wizard from Detroit unleashed his magic in our studio, building beats and crafting textures on his impressive collection of sequencers, samplers, MPC, and invited us to watch him while he works.

"this is the final version of my big live patch. before going into the patch details I just wanted to say that this patch turned out to be an overkill for live use but ironically was great to play in the studio. Its just way too complex for being playable live, so I'm going to slim it down, patch research will follow in the form of short patch videos, meanwhile...
"Roland JX-3P analog synthesizer demo - playing sounds and patches on vintage JX3P analog synth and PG-200 controller from Roland -- including sample and hold sounds, sequencer patterns and improvisational playing.
The Roland JX-3P is a classic analog synth related to the famous Roland JUNO family. The Roland JX3P features 2 DCOs, filter and envelope controls plus an onbard sequencer. The ROland PG-200 controller provides hands on control."
