0HP Semi Modular Madness Ep.1 - Make Noise 0-coast

Published on Feb 13, 2019 Mystic Circuits

"Want to expand the scope of your new semi modular stand alone synthesizer but don't have the dough for a full case? Mystic Circuits has the solution - 0HP Modules! Using our state of the art passive circuitry and carefully designed floating form factor, you no longer have to make a huge investment in a full size Eurorack case to enhance the functionality of your synthesizer.

This is the first episode in a series of videos that will tackle different semi modular synths and ways that we use the Mystic Circuits 0HP modules with them. Our first synth, the Make Noise 0-coast, is particularly well suited to 0HP integration due to its variety of modulation sources and flexible voltage control processor."

"The SY77 is a maxed out digital synthesizer that combines FM voices with samples to create super harmonically rich and diverse sounds. There is a powerful built in sequencer with 16 tracks, 99 stored sequences and 1 song. The 16th track is connected to a built in drum synthesizer and there are on board digital effects as well.

This synth is a great option for getting deep into digital sound design and electronic composition. It is in good working condition with only a few scuffs around the edges from use. The only thing to mention is there is what appears to be orange paint under the display and some Velcro on the panel. These things do not affect functionality in any way."

How the Terminator 2 Music Was Made

Published on Feb 13, 2019 Alex Ball

"This is a reworking of a video I originally uploaded in August 2018. It was by far the most popular video on my channel for the very brief period it was online. Unfortunately it got a global block from the film studio for including visual material from the film, which they're obviously entitled to do.

As a lot of work went into this video and my subscribers have quadrupled since it was last online, I was thinking of ways to remake it without any visual material from the film. I came across the idea of buying some T2 action figures and making a bunch of stills of my own. So here we are!"

RUBÉN PATIÑO LIVE AT CONTROL TUESDAY, FEB 18 7PM

RSVP Here

"Pennies from Heaven, a collaboration between Control and Bánh Mì Verlag, is a series focused on contemporary experimental culture with an emphasis on the liminal and the underrepresented.

Rubén Patiño (Barcelona, 1979) is an artist working in the field of Electronic Music and Art. He is focused on the sculptural properties of synthetic sound while exploring the limits of concert, public event and installation. All his works tend to contain different strategies regarding space and formats of presentation while combining sound, lights, text, image or found materials, with elements of early electronic music, ideograms and 20th Century art movements.

Since 2013, he has been involved in N.M.O., a rolling computerized ceremonial aerobics unit that, together with percussionist Morten J.Olsen, operates in a hybrid territory between club music, performance and inventive forms of sound spatialisation. This is what they call ‘Military Danceable Space Music and/or Fluxus Techno.’

Rubén Patiño has also collaborated with Arnau Sala, aka Exoteric Continent, and with Roc Jiménez de Cisneros as Super-boredom, a series of multi-channel audio pieces that uses an extremely rigid temporal structure.

Please note that seating is limited. After 7pm, reserved tickets may be distributed to standbys. Performance will promptly start at 7:15; once the performance begins no entry will be permitted. Do not be late. Suggested donation is on a sliding scale from $7 - $15."

(OB6 x2): Phase Polytemporality

Published on Feb 13, 2019 Kris Lennox

"Quick illustration of a principle i.e phase polytemporality. Initially it sounds like only one sequencer part (given both are playing the same sequence), but as the tempo drifts, it becomes obvious that we are hearing two parts.

The widest possible polytemporality of this video is too wide/sounds too disjointed, but it is interesting to hear it rather than assume it from a theoretical standpoint.

1BPM variance works very well (i.e 120/119 BPM).

The width of the tempi sounding 'off' is the temporal equivalent of hearing two frequencies of varying pitch: if close enough, the mind will perceive them as one sound; at a certain distance, the mind will start to perceive two independent tones.

Two independent tempi can be confusing - but slight phasing of tempi works great; like a 'detuning of time'.

I've experimented with this quite a bit over the years. I've found that (in general) keeping within 5% of the master tempo appears to give the illusion of phasing, as opposed to two independent tempi.

Given this video is an illustration of a theoretical principle, no musical context here i.e nothing other than the two sequencer lines.

PS the OB6 clock is like a rock - ideal for this kind of thing.

Best
Kris"

Strymon Volante Magnetic Drum & Tape Delay Pedal

Published on Feb 13, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"Strymon's Volante emulates the sounds of three different types of magnetic delay effects. The dirtiest delay setting is a drum emulation like the Binson Echorec, then there is a tape delay that has the sounds of units like the Roland Space Echo RE-201, and the cleanest is a studio setting which emulates the types of delays made with reel to reel studio tape decks.

There are four tape heads which can each have their volume, panning and feedback adjusted independently. The spacing of the heads can also be adjusted and is continuously variable through four settings. Delay times can be dialed in from 100ms to 4 seconds.

To add warble and grit to your delays you can saturate the record head and tape or drum, or adjust how much the machine and tape or drum are worn out.

The sound source for this video is the Behringer Deepmind 6 with all of its internal effects turned off, so the only effects you are hearing are the Volante.

Call 877 909 0303 to order a Volante, or see it on our website here: https://www.perfectcircuit.com/strymo...

Deepmind 6 available here: https://www.perfectcircuit.com/behrin..."
