"Wearing my 1977 ARP belt buckle today. Because carrying my Odyssey around all day after all that snow shoveling just isn't an option. RIP Alan. Respect!"
"Quick demo of my synthesizer..
First doing reset of sound, then some pwm and xfade modulations and such.."
Some additional info via Niklas:
"It has 8voices , every voice has two oscillators, every oscillator has two waves that can be crossfaded. There are two filters, connected to each oscillator. The one connected to osc1 has some resonance. It's just a "simple" simulated two stage rc-filter, but the sound chain it's pretty much ALL written in pipelined code, so it's running at about 15Mhz sample rate per channel through the memory reading code all the way down to the filters that's running at 3,75Mhz and then a cic filter before exiting in 8 dac8550 1Mhz dac's. There is a modulation matrix with 31 non programmable slot's easily changed at compile time, that's kind of the heart of the whole thing. You can store 256 sounds on a Ferroram. For space reasons , most parameters are signed 10bit registers."
"For years I have been exploring ways of composing for Buchla Music Easel and the Japanese Shakuhachi bamboo flute. None have satisfied me until this morning. This is a sketch and hopefully a catalyst for more composition. Better audio here:"
This was just one of those things that happened as a happy accident, I had a 8 step sequence in my head for some time due to overconsumption of TD and wanted to just get it out of my head into a sequencer. While programming it, I was like.. what the heck, let's record something. :)
The KORG grandstage has a decent string machine emulation / sample which i use on the intro. Also from the grandstage but recorded in the 720 stereo looper is a Rhodes piano loop.
NLA1 does bass pads + a loop I recorded into the ditto, a rotary/tremolo and LFO modulated slow arpeggio thing. They both pass through the empress reverb which uses the Ghost algorithm, heavy on modulation.
The peak does 8 note sequence programmed using the Keystep. Some internal minor modulation on filters, with an LFO plus Envelopes. Internal peak FX are only used on this sound.
Sub 37 does the most complex things on this one, 3 distinct variations on one and the same patch.
The first one is vanilla lead with some filter drive, with no modulation 2VCO + very little sub.
Second part is that I also do a super fast arpeggio which i turn on just to add some extra spice toward mid track, using the same sound.
Lastly, I turn up the EG on the filter on which I have set the filter envelope looping so i can adjust the speed of the loops with the attack knob to create a pingpong effect you hear at the end. While playing with the attack turned up in the beginning it sort of sounds like a normal LFO.
"I built a new eurorack + digitakt jam setup and here is me talking about that + playing my first jam. You can support my videos here: https://www.patreon.com/bobeats
"Patched Tiptop Audio Forbidden Planet VCF as an Oscillator. Other than the BD808 it is the only sound source. I run it through Fold Processor and ModDelay Panning Taps on Z-DSP. It is pinged by gates and triggers from Circadian Rhythms (Into Low Pass Input) and by Z4000 envelope (into Hi Pass) triggered from another CR track. Z8000 into QuantiZer into full range CV input. Other Z4000 modulates Fold. Z3000 modulates attack on pinging Z4000. By mistake I patched QuantiZer out also into Band Pass input on Forbidden Planet which surprisingly created weird timbre change that I liked."
"10 new custom sound banks created for the EMU Emulator II with pads and film scores in mind. sampled directly from a combination of Roland JX8P, XP50 & Behringer Deepmind 12 synths.
Demo comprises four short music pieces recorded with these new banks plus reverb and a bit of stereo delay added. Each bank has up to three presets as variations of the original samples.
If you're interested in these or any other Emulator II banks I've created, you can email me at jmp701@sky.com" Let him know you saw it on MATRIXSYNTH!
"Hey guys! 🙂 Happy New Year! Here is my first jam of 2019... and what better way to kick it off then with a Mini Jam Monday! 😉 lol Tried to keep it super simple by using only Pocket Operators... which is always a lot of fun for me anyways.
Anyways, for this jam I am using the PO-20 for chords and other misc sounds; the PO-16 plays an arp style melody; and the PO-33 is playing drums along with some sampled sounds from the Volca FM.
Hope you guys enjoy this video and thank you for watching, littleBIGsynths.👍"
