Patch Programming a Shimmer Reverb

Published on Jun 13, 2018 MAKEN0ISE

"During the development of the Erbe-Verb, we spent some time deciding whether to include a Shimmer effect. In the end, it was added as a "bonus" when Depth is turned all the way up. But before Tom Erbe coded it into the algorithm, we came up with some patches to emulate it so we'd have an idea of what it would sound like. This patch uses an Echophon to insert octave-shifting into the reverb's feedback path. This patch can be used to add shimmer to ANY reverb.

Patch idea courtesy Tony Rolando."

Tips n' Tricks: Turning the Moog DFAM Into a Complex Random LFO

Published on Jun 13, 2018 Alastair Wilson

"Welcome back to another tutorial, this time for the DFAM!

In this video we push VCO 2 down into LFO rates, and explore ways of modulating its waveform to create a complex evolving LFO. Great for if you have other semimodular gear like the Mother 32, but no complex modulation sources!"

Look Mum No Computer Session With Red Bull Music

Published on Jun 13, 2018 LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER

"Here is the See Hear Now session i did with Red Bull Music!

From Red Bull Musics Site :-

'Hacker-come-musician Sam Battle dealt with the loneliness of going solo in typically inventive manner: he gave his synth a face. Now making electronic agit-pop as Look Mum No Computer, the 27-year-old started out, like many before him, playing guitar in bands. But he’d always been into DIY, taking his dad’s soldering iron to household appliances as a kid and teaching himself to circuit bend with his toys.

Eventually, he built up to making weird and wonderful musical machines: check out the flamethrower organ which shoots jets of fire as it plays, or the fully–rideable synth bike, which pumps out beats to the tempo of its wheels. And let's not forget the terrifying instrument comprised of 50 singing Furbies. Essentially, he’s a modern-day musical Frankenstein.

In this energetic See. Hear. Now. session, you can see Battle playing Kosmo the modular synth. This huge touring synth, he says, is relatively 'sensible' by his standards – aside, of course, from the aforementioned animatronic face.

Unsurprisingly, Look Mum No Computer’s songs are often about embracing a lack of convention. Second track Groundhog Day rails against the monotony of a 9-to-5 existence governed by Post-It notes and promotions, while Modern Gas calls out the hollowness of politics, capitalism and social media. ‘GAS’, Battle tells us, also stands for Gear Acquisition Syndrome: an addiction to purchasing synths.'"
