OP-Z - First Beat


Published on Nov 21, 2018 Stochastic Design

"We had our hands on the elusive OP-Z from Teenage Engineering for about 24 hours now, and thought it would be appropriate to share one of our first beats, along with some thoughts. This song was created from variations of a single pattern, utilizing the various tracks and play effects of the OP-Z.

In short: It's an amazing instrument, and tons of fun for armchair jamming!"

Matrixbrute Does Tetris Theme (...+ Nikolai Medtner)


Published on Nov 21, 2018 Kris Lennox

"Recreation of the A section. Square wave, single VCO only for each part. Vid at the start is the melody. Here are the gate settings:

Melody = 100%
Noise = 40%
Bassline = 96%
Counter-melody = 83%

However, on listening back, the distinction of the semiquaver repeated notes during the counter-melody isn't clean enough (in the mix). I'd suggest reducing the gate length to somewhere between 75-80%.

Tempo = 149 BPM. Take note of when the sequencer is playing quavers, and when it is playing semiquavers.

The countermelody has to be two separate sequences due to the semiquavers i.e. 8 by 16 rather than 8 by 8.

The individual voices should be useful for anyone looking to recreate the piece. No large-scale synth necessary - you can make the piece on the simplest of synths. Even VST's will do the job fine.

The Tetris theme is actually a very famous Russian folk song, 'Korobeiniki'.

Shake it like a servo motor!


Published on Nov 21, 2018 יזהר אשדות Izhar Ashdot

"Shake it like a servo motor!
I’ve been playing with the idea of controlling Percussion instruments with servo motors as part of my modular setup.
I failed to build my own voltage to PWM circuit but finally found on EBay a cheap three channel voltage-to-PWM board, designed for RC models.
I built a small module around it.
I bought a few kinds of servo motors to test which would work best. Even the cheaper ones had enough torque to shake a tambourine and a LP shaker.
A strong vise was necessary to keep the instruments from spinning and flying across the room.
This video is a proof of concept. I hope soon to integrate this module into my music making setup."

"Just having fun with my R*S Euro Serge setup. Just the Serge skiff is involved -- the lower one isn't doing anything. I am feeding the output into a Zoom MS-70CDR pedal with a Limiter, Chorus, Delay and Reverb in effect.Don't hold your breath for patch notes. Just know that everything is connected to everything, just about!#eurorack #serge #modular #synthesizer #music #sound #noise #scary"
