"Special custom by collaboration with ghostinmpc!
The legendary legendary instrument TR-909 is customized to the brilliant RED color in collaboration with "ghostinmpc"!
The side panel is colored in white and receives an overall POP impression, and it is one special custom model in the world!
We also carry out various repair and internal ROM version upgrades prior to custom operation, making it as practical as possible.
The "ghostinmpc" custom is so perfect that it makes the color of this color illusion as if it were originally
It is a great quality."
"Here I am with a video of that beautiful BoC's music piece. And there's a special guest here, my latest acquisition: an Oberheim OB-8 :-D
Like my previous Thriller and The Unknown Song videos, this one too is not a live show, as I want to experiment with video editing and improve my skills with that. I did from scratch the entire song in Reaper as usual playing all parts by hand (with the exception of the rythm of course), then I filmed myself playing the single parts as I would've played them for a live video (so paying attention to the timing, to avoid bump notes, etc...) and put them together in the final video, with the music rendered from my Reaper project as audio background.
All the parts you hear in the tune are from the keyboards as seen in the video. So the bass really is from the OB-8, the lead from the Jupiter 6 and the piano from the Nord Electro 3. For this last sound I used a piano sample from the Clavia's Mellotron library, as I found it suited to give that typical BoC's lo-fi vibe to the tune. To increase the lo-fi effect I added some white noise too, with different noise tracks recorded for the left and right channel, to emulate tape noise, and a good dose of dynamics compression.
As I found the original BoC's tune a bit too short I made my version a little longer by repeating one more time the last 8 measures, making a couple of changes to it (I removed the kid's voice saying "Hey" and reverted the lead sound back to the one heard at the beginning) and adding a string pad slowly fading in and then out as the whole tune fades away too.
This video exists thanks to a dear friend of mine that some time ago made me discovering Boards Of Canada. Thank you Andrea!"
"Yet another experiment on the Buchla 200. This one is exploring the MARF, and using the 'stage address' cv input to randomise the way it selects the notes. This thing is so cool
ALSO! I've just noticed that I have got 1000 subscribers, thanks to everyone who has subbed - I'll try and keep my synth related sketches coming...
"This is an improvised demo of the Custom Oscillator 'Origami' for the Korg Prologue / Minilogue XD. Origami uses wavefolding to create complex waveforms. With this demo we also used a novation circuit for the drums, roland mx1 to mix and add live MFX, and the sequence on the prologue was made with synthstrom deluge.
"The Origami oscillator uses wavefolding to create complex harmonic distortion from basic waveforms. The input waveform to the wavefolder can be varied between a sine wave and an asymmetrical waveform (triangle/flattened sine) to change the basic timbre. This waveform is then fed into the wavefolding algorithm where the amount of folding (SHAPE) increases the gain at the input of the wavefolder.
A DC offset control pushes the waveform more into the top half of the wavefolder, that can vary the harmonic distribution between even and odd harmonics. The main LFO-to-Shape modulates this DC Offset (note: not the SHAPE/wavefold control itself) – which tends to create odd/even harmonic oscillation.
An additional Origami ADSR envelope can modulate the input gain of the wavefolder with the Envelope Amount control. Attack, decay, sustain and release are adjustable. This adds further movement of the produced harmonics allowing for complex evolving textures and pads.
"Contemplating "positive liberty" through being true to oneself, I found that my truest musical self is in following the music where it leads me: through dark drone ambient mindspaces.
"Eurorack Modular work-in-progress: AJH MiniMod system with Ring SM & Sonic XV, plus Frequency Central XVCO, State 700 & Wave Runner. Sequencer: Arturia Keystep, recorded using AUM on an iPad with EOS2 reverb.
I held back on sharing this one as it was the start of an idea I was developing for the next 'tomorrow the cure' album, which will consist of entirely analog, 'live' tracks (single take, no overdubs), but I've altered my Eurorack rig a little since recording this, so I'm re-thinking some of it. See my previous two uploads for my current modular setup: https://youtu.be/YEMKqExk4iM https://youtu.be/cBzG1eMhGHQ
I'm considering making a video regarding why I got into modular synths, if anyone is interested. I can't afford to do both modular and standalone synths at the moment, especially now that the screen on my MacBook just died and will cost me a comparative fortune to fix or just retire completely.
If you'd like to help me continue this channel please consider purchasing my music on Bandcamp, or supporting me on Patreon, where I occasionally upload exclusive videos (alternative takes/versions, etc) and might start uploading some 'guide' videos explaining how I do things if I get enough supporters. Bear in mind that creating videos takes a lot of time and effort, so I have to be able to justify it somehow.
"I happened to get my hands on the volca nubass, a vacuum tube powered analogue bass synthesizer. It is actually the first synthesizer ever featuring a Nutube (the latest vacuum tube technology developed by KORG). This tiny little thing can sound REALLY mean!
In this clip, I'm basically fooling around with the filter, the envelopes, the saturation and drive effects. Especially the sequencer functions "Accents", "Transpose" and "Slides" are coming in really handy when creating some typical acid bass lines. I'm loving the fact, that you can randomize all these three functions separately on the fly. So, you can create interesting variations of the original bass line or get completely new ideas with the hit of a button.
I just added a little reverb from the KORG KAOSS PAD KP3. The drums are coming from the volca sample."
