Modular Haiku


Playlist:
1. Haiku Nº 01 - Oceans Away // Reflections and Modular Meditations - Self Generation

Reflections of one,
the ocean deep in thought,
noise to pass the time

2. Haiku Nº 02 - Upstream // Akemie's Taiko, Ornament & Crime, Lo-fi Junky

Upstream contrast sound,
at end flowing together,
the river moves soft

3. Haiku Nº 03 - Moons Apart // Roland e20, Rings, Clouds, Three Sisters

Across the land yet
Moons apart beneath new skies
sounds to light the way

4. Haiku Nº 04 - Contrast // Mutable Instruments Elements, Rings & Clouds

Beauty in nature Reconstructing / rebuilding the
under hum of rushing life ---- system. Voltage Block doing most

5. Haiku Nº 05 Pastel // Mutable Rings, Clouds, Elements, Three Sisters

- Pastel (lullaby sky) -
pastel splashed upon
a lullaby for the sky,
whispers and textures

6. Haiku Nº 06 "Latitudeº" (Self Generative) // Elements, Rings, & Clouds,

Watching the weather,
Shifts forward then back again,
Sipping on the rain.
- Self Generative Version of "Latitudeº" Feeling the warmth from this patch in the increasingly cold weather..

7. Haiku Nº 07 - "Cordillera" // Two Rings, Clouds & Mangrove

parallel peaks hush,
listen to the wind and trees,
echoes to rest by
~ from the album "Cordillera".

Empress Effects Zoia Modular Synthesizer & Effects Pedal SYNTHPLEX 2019

Published on Apr 2, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"Empress Effects Zoia is a fully programmable modular synthesis and effects environment inside of a pedal. The glowing buttons on the front of the pedal let you see what sections are modulating what other sections and change routing and modules. It can send and receive midi control and be played with a keyboard, or use internal sequencers and modulation. External audio can be routed through it and modified, or you can generate complete sounds from within it. There are more than 80 types of modules that can be used in it and you can save up to 64 preset patches.

E-mu Proteus 2: Does it Hold Up? (1.1 Flute)

Published on Apr 2, 2019 Kris Lennox

"Released (almost) 30 years ago, the Proteus 2 was quite the powerhouse of its time. Many know it as 'The X-Files Module', due to Fulterman's use of one of the presets as the 'whistling' instrument from the X-Files theme.

I'm going to do a set taking a look at each orchestral sound/instrument. Good fun as a mini-project - and also serves as a good illustration of the module.

Two videos for flute: this one, plus a slower work (which will be the next video in this set).

RE the flute sound: personally, I'd say for 'standard' flute in a mix, it more than suffices (from a compositional/recording point of view, having sounds such as this is far more efficient than trying to build an appropriate sound on a synth). Granted, we're never going to get Cassandra's Dream Song from the flute sound herein, but again, for its time, I feel the flute tone holds up well. Personally, when I ran the flute through a little reverb, I was surprised at just how well it sounded. By all means share your own thoughts in the comments.

Alesis Micron as controller. I'm also running the Proteus through a small reverb unit (Nanoverb). Aside from the reverb, the sound is of the module.

Music = Bach's 'Badinerie' from BWV 1067. Very popular piece, many recordings available. This allows for a good comparative analysis. I'm performing in the manner of a flute performance (i.e small gaps as breathing points etc) - this gives slightly more authenticity to the sound.

PS this is just a quick sight-read through the score. If giving an 'actual' performance, I'd play through it a couple more times to work on interpretation - but I trust the performance will suffice for the purpose of the video.

As a blind test, would the sound pass as flute?! Worth trying with a friend.

All best
Kris"

The percussion in the attack is a bit much compared to a real flute. Once you focus on it, it's difficult for it to not take over.

Happy Birthday Dave Smith!

It's Dave Smith's birthday today!

via @sequentialLLC:

"Happy Birthday to Dave Smith! 40+ years of innovation and still going strong! 🎂#Sequential sequential.com"

Based on that photo, he must have started making synths when he was a toddler! ;)  He looks great.

Happy Birthday Dave!  Thank you for all the gifts you have given us over the years.  One thing to add to that list of course is MIDI.  The global synth community and musicians truly appreciate all you've done and continue to do for us.  We hope you are having a synthtastic birthday!

2hp TM Turing Machine // Random modulation, melodies and more for Eurorack synths

Published on Apr 2, 2019 DivKidVideo

"Up next in the #2hpTuesdays series of videos is the TM or Turing Machine from 2hp. It creates random stepped patterns with a length of 1 to 32 steps per pattern, you have full variable random to locked/loop functionality under CV control as well as the step length. In the video we make some looping modulations, turned stepped CV into random gates, funk up so hi hats in our beats and create evolving and performable/controllable melodies."
