ARP Blue Marvin restoration demonstration - operational tips from CMS


Published on Oct 14, 2018 Phil Cirocco

"This is a short demo video showing some operational tips and nominal volume levels on the ARP 2600. The unit shown is one of the very first 2600s ever made. We recently repaired and restored this beauty to full functionality for a customer. The sound is coming from the 2600 speakers and being recorded by the phone mic. This unit had a partial APU installed since it already had great sounding chips."

REPLICA is an experimental platform where expressive movement rooted in dance & theatre meets augmented embodiment and creative technologies. Together with performers, scientists and technologist we engage in a playful exploration of possibilities: in what ways can technology enhance our bodies by challenging, training and expanding our expressive, perceptive and creative capabilities? In what ways does it enhance our culture? Together, we imagine and rehearse future rituals, devise new interaction models between humans and machines, and prototype tools, performances and future folklores.

Preparing for my live shows I always try to the make the most upbeat music possible. Usually it ends up much darker once I get on stage, as I find making "happy" music hard when improvising. But still, its good to push myself to different places.

μClouds granular module - dry sound examples (Eurorack Mutable Clouds in 8HP)


Published on Oct 14, 2018 DreamsOfWires

"μClouds is granular audio processor/texture synthesizer, and an 8hp version of the Mutable Instruments 'Clouds' Eurorack module. With the Parasite firmware installed it has additional functions (do an internet search to find the latest details).
No additional effects were used, what you hear is just μClouds and the sound source I'm feeding it - homemade samples via a Music Thing Modular 'Radio Music', and my trusty old Korg Volca Keys.
This is a simple video demo of some sounds I discovered during my first proper experience with the module, not a qualified overview. I've had it for quite a while, but not had time to look at it properly, and it's clear I've got a lot to learn yet. However, just from dabbling you can achieve some surprising results.
I can't remember for certain which modes I used, but the last patch/sound is definitely the Spectral Madness mode. Also, when you see a solid green light it indicates that the 'freeze' function is active, and so a slice of the sound has been grabbed and being used as a wash/drone. The reverb you can hear is from the module and a component of each mode.

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #59: Evolution Synthesis EVS-1 - Song 3


Published on Oct 14, 2018 Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the third song with my latest addition, the Evolution Synthesis EVS-1. It's a 16-voice polyphonic, 8-part multitimbral, digital synthesizer featuring 4OP FM, 4OP Phase Distortion, Ringmodulation, Waveshaping, etc. It wasn't very successful when it came out in the early 90s. The reasons might be that one need a computer software to programm this synth, the sounds contain significant digital artefacts and it hasn't any filter and effects. But thanks to the 4 6-stage envelopes and 2 LFOs which all can be freely routed to each control two different parameters of the synth engine including LFOs themselves AND the "wavetable", it's a beast to create crispy, wobbling, glitchy, drony, weird, industrial-like soundscapes. The aliasing is here a significant part of the sound design ;-) I'm really impressed how versatile and "fresh" it still can sound.

BTW, all sounds I used for this song I've created myself ;-)

I used for the recording the following FX chain:
Evolution Synthesis EVS-1 - Alesis Philtre - Alesis Ampliton - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2 - Alesis 3630. Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated.

The signal goes via a small Behringer mixer straight into the pc.

To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with just a bit compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track."

The History of the Prophet Synthesizer


Published on Oct 13, 2018 Alex Ball

"One of the most interesting stories of the synth world is that of Dave Smith and Sequential Circuits. I decided to try to tell some of it via their flagship series, from the Prophet 5 in 1978 to the Prophet X in 2018. With the help of a dozen other people who were incredibly generous and equally excited by their instruments, this film is the result: The History of the Prophet Synthesizer.

Massive and heart-felt thanks to all of these awesome Prophet people, this film would be very short without you!"
