Dave Smith Instruments In The Spotlight With the REV2 and SHANNON HEMMETT


You can find the full interview on DSI's website here.

"Shannon Hemmett is a musician and graphic artist from Vancouver, Canada. She plays synth and sings backing vocals in Vancouver post-punk/darkwave band ACTORS and is the lead vocalist for her own darkwave/dream-pop project, LEATHERS. ACTORS’ modern take on post-punk is a synth-drenched, cinematic brand of new wave with anthemic hooks and a compelling live presence. In 2018, ACTORS released their critically acclaimed debut, It Will Come to You on Artoffact Records and are currently touring in the USA, Canada, and Europe.

We chatted with Shannon about how she’s using the Prophet Rev2"

Korg SB-100 Synthe Bass w/ MIDI Retrofit

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"Incredibly rare monophonic analogue synthesiser from the late 1970s. Modified with a MIDI retrofit for control from a sequencer or DAW. Capable of cool lead lines and drones as well as bass sounds. The front panel has quite a few marks from use, but it's in fully working condition and includes the velvet lined case lid. This is the same model of synth as used by Dave Ball from Soft Cell for bass sounds, and one was also used by the B-52s."

"This Triple Sequencer Patch is based on two streams of random notes, one of which can be recorded as a fixed pattern, the other one can be blended in as an "alternative" such as in fills or for subtle changes to make a beat more interesting.
Additional features are a recordable set of cc values for 16 steps and an adjustable pattern length from 11 to 16 steps."

Moog Discontinues the Moogerfooger Line


via Moog Music

"Today we say farewell to the Moogerfooger family of voltage-controlled analog effects after a 20-year production run. As one of the longest running lines in the Moog Factory, the Moogerfooger family holds a special place in our hearts. We will continue building a limited quantity of units here at the Moog Factory while our remaining inventory of parts and materials last.

The Moogerfooger family of voltage-controlled analog effects was first introduced by Bob Moog in 1998 with two pedals based on original Moog synth-module designs: the MF-101 Low Pass Filter and the MF-102 Ring Modulator. A year later, they were joined by the MF-103 12-Stage Phaser. Their voltage-controlled capabilities allowed the functions of one Moogerfooger to interact with the functions of another, inviting artists to explore a limitlessly reconfigurable sonic landscape. During its 20-year run, the Moogerfooger line evolved to include over 20 different variations, with various designs moving in and out of production over the years. Today, the three remaining Moogerfoogers currently produced in the Moog Factory are the same three that started this journey, the MF-101, MF-102, and MF-103.

These units are available for a limited time through authorized Moog Dealers.

To illustrate the sonic flexibility and organic beauty of Moogerfooger analog effects, ambient electronic composer Colleen has created a new work, Variables, an exclusive live EP of explorations recorded in the Moog Sound Lab. Using a Pocket Piano, Septavox, her voice, and an array of Moogerfoogers, Colleen creates an interconnected system through we she explores the sonic concepts of color, texture, and pattern."

Fano Plane // Eurorack Ambient

"A meandering stroll across a steppe under a light rain.

Quick patch notes: The structure of the track is, once again, based on Argos Bleak. Using its 4 outputs as 2 pairs of dyads, one pair creates the gong-ish bell sounds, and the other to the main melodic line. Each pair is multed to secondary oscillators as 'backing' sounds.

The noise washes in the latter portion are from a recording of rainfall on my iPhone that I fed into Morphagene and pitched down a little. That runs through optodist for some slight distortion.

Bassline is AJH Mini Mod sequenced by Stillson Hammer MkII"

Korg Minilogue Patches by DreamsOfWires


Published on Aug 27, 2018 DreamsOfWires

"Some of the Korg Minilogue presets/patches I made on my first proper day of using it. Many of the melodies and sounds are based on past and present compositions/recordings, a few of which are among my Bandcamp albums or YouTube uploads, and some are from material I'm working on for my next 'tomorrow the cure' album.
If you turn on Subtitles you can read some info on a few of the sounds.
If you like my music/videos and wish to help me continue what I do you can buy my music on Bandcamp, or support me on Patreon. You can also keep up to date with my creative output by following/liking my Facebook page. Links are as follows:
https://tomorrowthecure.bandcamp.com

Recorded into AUM on an iPad using Audio Damage 'EOS2' for reverb.
More Minilogue, Minibrute 2, Roland D-05, Volca FM, and Eurorack Modular coming soon."

Korg Minilogue - playing over the sequencer (by DreamsOfWires)

Published on Aug 25, 2018 DreamsOfWires

"My first day with the Korg Minilogue, so I thought I'd try re-recording a past upload with it (original version: [posted here]).
I was going to film it outside, but it's been raining for a few days. However, I did step outside with the camera after recording to film a huge huge swarm of crows that were passing by."
