PhonoPaper + PixiTracker

Published on Mar 17, 2018 Alexander Zolotov

"In this video, I convert the hand-drawn spectrograms to sound using PhonoPaper (http://warmplace.ru/soft/phonopaper). And then I use the generated sounds when writing music in PixiTracker (http://warmplace.ru/soft/pixitracker)."

016//Cave Dwellers - 20 minutes of modular ambience

Published on Mar 17, 2018 Alastair Wilson

"A self-generating modular patch using a small Eurorack setup sent through an Eventide Space hall reverb and an Eventide Timefactor on moddelay setting. No other processing has been applied.

This patch is based around glitches - the oscillators' frequencies are well below audio rate, and so the square waves cause clicks. To filter these clicks, the random stepped voltages from the Assign outputs are slewed by Maths and then patched to the filter cutoffs, with the filter on the brink of self-resonating. I got an unexpected effect - I hadn't judged the resonance well enough and so the filter was self-resonating very quietly, giving the background noises you can hear between clicks. It worked great for the ambience of the patch!

0-coast ambient: rain.paths

Published on Mar 17, 2018 C Nich0lls

"Multitrack ambient recording featuring Makenoise 0-Coast analogue synth. It’s been raining here in LA and I think it’s the absent sound on all of my tracks. I sometimes add washes of noise or tones to the background, so this time decided to add a recording of the rain that I made late one night.

In the rain, find your path.

On this track the synthesis goes a bit more macro from the micro. I built up a patch on the 0-coast that allowed me to have a lot of flexibility to the harmonic content of the output. I think the o-Coast excels at this so I wanted to explore that more specifically. There is quite a bit of modulation going on, but the synth is self-patched.

54HP Episode 2: West Coast Music Weasel

Published on Mar 16, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"In episode 2 of 54HP we bring you the 'West Coast Music Weasel' which is inspired by west coast style synthesis and the Buchla Music Easel. This case features a complex LFO and S&H, four step sequencer and looping envelope for controlling the other modules, a voltage processor/ring modulator module and a 158 dual oscillator as well as a wave-folder and low pass gate. With this set of modules you can create anything from drones to sequences to generative patches that play themselves."

MPC60 Collection

Published on Mar 14, 2018 GoldbabySamples

http://www.goldbaby.co.nz/mpc60c.html

"I love the MPC60! Still get some of my most punchy drums from this beast! 12 bits of classic Akai sampling legend. Thousands of samples have passed through my beige wonder sampler, so it isn't surprising I had to revisit this drum machine again. I have collected all the samples from the MPC60 Vol 1 to 3 then re-tuned and remastered a lot of them. Plus I added a whole heap of fresh new samples, more warm and punchy drums, super tasty synths, useful FX and inspiring hits and chords.

2922 x 24 bit samples recorded from the MPC60 through high end studio gear. With kits for Maschine, Battery, Kontakt, Ableton Live, EXS24 and Geist. Also available as 16 bit wav for some hardware samples."

Roland TR-606 | Component Exponent

Published on Mar 16, 2018 Alex Ball

"Found an old TR-606 in the back of a music shop. so here's a quick jam.

It's like a mini version of the 808 with very reduced features. It's entirely analogue and the sounds are great, but the kick drum is no match for its older brother. But for a 10th of the price of an 808, I can't really complain!

The other sounds are as seen - Juno-6 being triggered by the 606 and playing filtered noise and arpeggios, a 707 for some layering, the animal that is the Korg MS20 and a Baritone guitar with some vox wah and Tubescreamer distortion.

There's also some other bits and bobs going on, but I decided to keep it quite raw and minimal."
