Extending DFAM Sequences w/ External CV Sequencers

Published on Apr 5, 2018 HardtekStudios

Audio comes in at :31. Don't turn it up too high. :)

"A lot of people have been asking how to get past the limitation of only having eight steps on the Moog DFAM. So far this is the best solution I have come across, but it works pretty nicely. My Novavation Circuit Mono Station has an extra sequencer with an aux CV output that you can route it to, so this will work perfectly for the example. I could have also used the pitch CV out as an additional sequencer for the DFAM, if I did not want to use the synth or if I wanted a parameter to follow the synths pitch. I think a Beatstep Pro would be the best to use because it provides a ton of CV & Gate outs that could make up for the limited sequencers of the DFAM & Mother-32 (it has a sequencer, but is just awful to program)."

Phantogram | Calling All | Moog Sound Lab

Published on Apr 5, 2018 Moog Music Inc

"Phantogram return to the Moog Sound Lab to perform 'Calling All' from their album Three. Re-imaging the track completely with analog synthesizers, guitarist Josh Carter lays the song’s foundation with a Minimoog Model D while vocalist Sarah Barthel controls the depth and dimension of her voice using an MF-104M Analog Delay.

This is Phantogram’s second performance in the Moog Sound Lab, after performing '16 Years' in 2011" [posted here]

Analogue Solutions Celebrates 25th Anniversary Milestone with SUPERBOOTH18 Synth Showcase

"KINGSWINFORD, UK: British boutique electronic instruments innovator Analogue Solutions is proud to be celebrating its 25th anniversary as a true analogue synthesiser, sequencer, and Eurorack module-making specialist, showcasing its latest products at SUPERBOOTH18, May 3-5 in Berlin, Germany…

Analogue Solutions’ journey to electronic instrument-innovating glory has taken it along a (proverbial) long and winding road. Returning to ‘ground zero’, the aptly-named company was founded by Tom Carpenter in 1993, initially dealing in selling vintage electronic musical instruments while providing ancillary services such as repairs, modifications, manuals, and spare supplies. Since he was (and still is) a fervent fan of electronic music and also an active electronic musician himself, his natural instinct for programming synthesisers soon led him towards getting his hands dirtier, as it were, delving deeper into electronic instruments of his own making.

Moving onwards and upwards, Analogue Solutions settled into its innovative stride within a short space of time by becoming the third company to enter the then-emerging Eurorack market, making modules for the small-format modular system set in motion by Germany’s Doepfer Musikelektronik (with the 1996 introduction of its initial A-100 series modules). Fast-forward to today, though, and Analogue Solutions has released over 70 different modules; meanwhile, the market mushroomed with hundreds of module-makers — both bigger and smaller — seriously embracing Eurorack in pursuit of their now clearly-competitive craft.

Concentrating in more recent years on non-modular products, such as self-contained true analogue synthesisers — featuring fully-analogue audio paths with analogue LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators) and EGs (Envelope Generators) — and standalone sequencers, today Analogue Solutions is rightfully recognised as a critically-acclaimed British boutique electronic instruments innovator; indeed, its ever-expanding product range is now sold worldwide, with an accomplished client list that reads like a who’s who of electronic music, including such synth-centric luminaries as Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore, Erasure’s Vince Clarke, New Order’s Stephen Morris, Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor, and The Human League’s Philip Oakey, to namecheck but a notable few.

For making electronic music is what it’s all about for founder Tom Carpenter: “I’ve always loved electronic music, and my goal, as always, has been to create amazing-sounding, vintage-style analogue synths to enable musicians to create the music I grew up on and continue to love to this day. Although it’s now been 25 years, I still have so many ideas that I want to make into physical products. Put it this way: I’ve released four new products in the last six months, and, as part of our 25th anniversary celebrations, I hope to have a further two products to showcase at this year’s SUPERBOOTH in Berlin, where we’ll be exhibiting.”

Analogue Solutions will be showcasing its latest boutique electronic instruments on Booth 0202 at SUPERBOOTH18, May 3-5 in Berlin, Germany. Go check them out... while wishing Tom Carpenter and his innovative company a Happy Anniversary!

Asteroid Killer - Pinball King

Published on Apr 5, 2018 AsteroidKillerMusic

"This is a video I did for my latest track, Pinball King. I play the same synthesizers in the video as I do on the original recording with two exceptions. One, I use Linndrum samples in the original recording not the TR-707. Two, I use a Moog Minitaur for the bassline but that did not look fun on the screen so I replaced it with a Sub 37.

Bass - Moog Minitaur
Main arpeggio - Arturia Matrix Brute
Bells and E-piano - Ensonig ESQ1
Lead - ARP Odyssey
Solo - Roland SH101
Noise sweep - Korg MS20
Drums - Linndrum samples
Toms - Clavia Nord drum 3p
Pinball sounds - Mr & Mrs PacMan

This song is also available for download on Bandcamp"

TipTop Audio Circadian Rhythms Tutorial

Published on Apr 5, 2018 once upon a synth

"Tutorial and overview of the Tip Top Audio Circadian Rhythms. This is a eurorack trigger and gate sequencer with 8 channel outputs. You can use it to sequence really long patterns by chaining presets of 8 steps together. You can use it to sequence both drums and melodic modules as well as anything else that requires triggers or gates (like envelope generators)."

"The synth is been serviced in 2017 (service report included) and last week (service report included). Technically it's perfect condition now. It sounds very good, warm and analog. Cosmetically it's in nice condition for its age, but there are signs of use of course: some little scratches and wear and tear on the case and the keyboard (see photo's). Overall it's a nice piece of gear which deserves a good new home. The psu adaptor with European plug installed, original brochure and service notes are included in the sale. The serial number is: 402771."
