0-Coast Semi-Modular Synthesizer Expansion

Published on Aug 23, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"The Make Noise 0-Coast is an excellent way to get started with modular synthesis, providing all the key components of a typical modular synth in a small form factor and at an awesome price. One of the best things about the 0-Coast (or any semi-modular synth) is that it is easily expandable—it can interface directly with any CV-capable gear to instantly extend its functionality.

In this video, we explore some of the common ways of expanding the 0-Coast: with external sequencing (a la Korg's SQ-1 step sequencer), extra modulation sources (via Make Noise's Maths), and the addition of a traditional filter (in this case, Electrosmith's 2144 Lowpass Filter). Of course, there are tons of other ways to expand the 0-Coast; but these are some of our favorite ways to instantly take it into much broader territory.

Luke Neptune's Rev2 House, Disco & Funk Soundset

Published on Aug 23, 2019 Luke Neptune

"Buy this soundset here http://www.lukeneptune.com/soundsets/

House Disco & Funk features 100 patches designed to be danced to!
Filled with funky brasses, detuned House chords, bouncy basses, euphoric strings and searing leads.

The funky patches are heavily inspired by great artists and producers such as Jam & Lewis and Prince.

The House patches are inspired by the House and Techno music of the late 80s and early to mid 90s, with a selection of modern EDM style patches in there too.

The Disco patches are inspired by the early 80s Disco sound (Think Pointer Sisters- Automatic).

House, Disco & Funk features a handful or recreation patches such as Underworld- Born Slippy, 808 State- Pacific State, Michael Jackson- Thriller (Bass), Inner City- Good Life, Daft Punk- Da Funk, Haddaway- What Is Love (Bass), Moby- Go & Mr Fingers- Can You Feel It.

House Disco & Funk also features a Talkbox patch that has been carefully recreated from the Yamaha DX100’s ‘Hardbrass’ preset -the preset that the great Roger Troutman used to use- So just hook a Talkbox up to your Rev2 find the patch named ‘Talkbox patch’ and get your computer voiced funk on!

Extra effort has been put into routing multiple sources to the mod wheel, in affect turning it into a kind of ‘super nob’ with the ability to transform a patch into a whole new sound! -great for dance music builds and drops-.

I enjoyed making this soundset, it was clear from my very first touches of the Rev2 that it was a synth that would excel at dance music. Hopefully you agree and find it a great source of musical inspiration.

On purchase you will receive step by step instructions on how to load the sounds and how to back up any of your existing patches should you wish too."

Spirited jam w/ the Elektron Octatrack MkII, Novation Peak

Published on Aug 23, 2019 Jay Hosking

"A live, semi-improvised performance, all on hardware, and inspired by my first hour or two with the Elektron Octatrack. I was having such a great time with the Octatrack's scene functions that I haven't even gotten around yet to many of its core features (like, you know, sampling). And while everyone who has an OT raves about it, I feel like I didn't appreciate just how inspiring, spontaneous, and performance-friendly it was until I tried it. I'm really looking forward to digging into the machine more.

Elektron Octatrack MkII — Sampler, sequencer and effects (for Peak)
Novation Peak — Pad / bass

Written and performed within a 24-hour period, and uploaded as is, with only a little compression/limiting on the master.
