2019/07 - Sahara Pulse

Published on Jul 28, 2019 Stereoping

"Starting out as a simple testsong for a midified TR-606 in a custom case, this midi-arrangement exercise went somehow oriental and even epic in the end. The solo is played by the PULScar with slight realtime modulations to bring some live into the sound. Finally found the time to make a neat sticker for the frontpanel. The ensemble also contains a modded Alesis HR-16 with custom EPROMS holding oriental percussion. The big knob is for downpitching the whole machine, demoed at 3:52. Other gear: Roland Juno 6 (Bass) & JV1080 (Strings, Brass), Kawai K4 (Brass) and the Waldorf Microwave (.. well, some synth sound). Footage shows the realtime sound editing, some fotos, studio flyovers and score screengrabs."

omsonic & dBs Music - Stochastic Inspiration Generator - COMING SOON !

Published on Jul 28, 2019 omsonic

"COMING SOON ! The Stochastic Inspiration Generator ! Its a unique module that responds to your probabilistic musical direction but you don’t play ‘on’ it, you duet with it by starting with the fundamental musical atoms and controlling how likely different pitch, duration, octave and transition events will be using its controls."

via Omsonic:

"What Is It ?

not a traditional sequencer – it doesn’t repeat itself (unless you tell it to!)
not a probability sequencer – you don’t program fixed steps for variation
not a random source – you can control what it will do (within limits)
not a chaotic source – identical initial conditions don’t produce identical output

Stochastic is an Inspiration Generator ! Its a unique sequencer module that responds to your probabilistic musical direction but you don’t play ‘on’ it, you duet with it by starting with the fundamental musical atoms and controlling how likely different pitch, duration, octave and transition events will be using its controls.

Overview

Each event Stochastic generates has its pitch, octave, duration, onset, offset, portamento and ratchet set by probability controls. You can exert as much or as little control over what the next event will be as you wish. This could be very simple (e.g. raise C, E, G and 1/16 to 100% and you have a random arpeggiator kicking out constant 1/16 ) or something much more interesting…

Stochastic leverages tonal harmony by exploiting its statistical hierarchy of pitches: some notes turn up a lot, some not so much, some not at all. Being ‘in’ C Major means having lots of Cs, quite a lot of Gs and Es, a few Fs, some Ds, As and Bs, but no C#s, D#s, F#s, G#s, A#s. Set the note probabilities accordingly and Stochastic will spontaneously jam in C Major. Shift the probabilities, and you morph the tonality, key or mode they define into new tonal landscapes.

Robaux SWT16+ vs. Sample Drum

Published on Jul 28, 2019 robaux

"Did you know that the trigger outputs of the Robaux SWT16+ can also be used to control CV inputs? Of course, there are only low or high. See the sequencer in action with the Sample Drum, playing a sliced loop from an old hiphop #vinyl."

Flipping bitch ? Drum drone generator

Published on Jul 28, 2019 paul tas

Do you find the name of this module offensive, crude? This one had me wondering what is/was the most offensively named module or piece of gear out there. Metasonix definitely covers crude. The reason for the name Flipping bitch is given below.

via Error Instruments

"Is a drone drum generator .

You can use it as drums .

but also as a drone.

6x different oscilators
that you can crosmodulate
with each other
with built-in low pas gate.
vactrol based. and for
and super snare sound or tom drum

The name flipping bitch is name like a I kind of French toast . That’s the people in Holland use for breakfast It’s called. wentelteefje ?. If you translate this it will be flipping bitch ."

Synth DIY - Wiring the Thomas Henry Quad Bass++

Published on Jul 27, 2019 Sergio Gonzalez

"This is an update video at about halfway through the process. At this point its common for fatigue to set in, but hopefully you'll get some encouragement from this video to keep at it. In a project like this you're likely to find situations that the instructions have no advice for, like how to connect all the ground wires together properly, or connecting a capacitor across two pots without a PCB for structure. It's easy to get stuck at this point and give up on the project, but try to just use what techniques you do know to find a solution and move forward."

R-MONO Lab Maker Faire Tokyo 2019出展作品紹介

Published on Jul 27, 2019 R-MONO Lab

Funny. I don't think I've seen "live" or "hot" soldering before - soldering with the unit powered and running. It's almost like he's soldering in permanent triggers on a step sequencer. Imagine having to do that every time you wanted to change a sequence!

"「バイ・ウェーブ・トランスミューテイター」によるかつてない個性的なサウンドを実現した「シンセ仙人シンセ」の最新バージョン（V5）。ポンプを自動化した「新型リコーダー・パイプオルガン」。くまのカワイイぬいぐるみが破壊的なリズムを奏でる「プログラマブルこぐまのトンピー」。電子魚が泳ぐ「木製の水槽」。ハンダ付けで演奏する画期的な電子楽器「ねや楽器ソルダリングシンセサイザー」のハンズオンも実施します。

R-MONO Labは、某楽器メーカーのもの作り同好会（部活）です。部員同士の交流をしながら、ものづくりイベントでの作品発表など制作活動をしています。創作分野は特定せず「作りたいものを作ろう」をモットーとしています。設立は2014年末。 MFT2015〜2018、ommf2016〜2018などに出展。第3回ソレコン入賞。創造都市ネットワークでの講演、展示会、ワークショップなどの活動も行っています"

Googlish:

"The latest version (V5) of" Synthe Senjin Synth "which realized unique sound by" by wave transmutator "before. New recorder pipe organ that automates the pump. "Programmable bear's tonpy" that bear's cute stuffed toy plays destructive rhythm. A "wood tank" where electronic fish swims. We will also conduct hands-on with the revolutionary electronic musical instrument "Ney Musical Instrument Soldering Synthesizer" played by soldering.

R-MONO Lab is a craftsmanship association (club activity) for a certain group of musical instruments. While interacting with other members, we are producing activities such as presenting work at manufacturing events. The motto is "Let's make what you want to make" without specifying the field of creation. Established at the end of 2014. Exhibited at MFT 2015-2018, ommf 2016-2018, etc. 3rd Solecon Prize. We also conduct activities such as lectures, exhibitions and workshops in the creation city network."
