OBXone 2'nd voice board

Published on Apr 17, 2020 Lackan

"A very quick demo of my newly expanded OBXone. I added a second voice board in total unison with the first voice board - except for the possibility to set the filter different.

This makes for very cool formant effects and is pretty much exactly what the OSCar has with the "separation"-knob: two 12dB-filters with the peaks separated.

Just a very quick demo..."

Introducing Substantia - Electroacustic Physical Modeling Laboratory

Introducing Substantia from Giorgio Sancristoforo on Vimeo.

"Substantia (latin: substance), is an electroacustic physical modelling laboratory with hundereds of models. It is a modal synthesis software with integrated euclidean sequencer and recorder.

Many modal synthesis tools, so far, have a limited number of options and models. Some instruments give you just inharmonicity and dumping controls over a bank of resonators, some other offer few models like a pipe, a plate, a box, and usually a very small selection of materials: metals, plastic, wood…

Substantia has 16 different models and 23 materials, ranging from Aluminium to Nickel, Glass, Marble, Sapphire, Platinum, Gold, Nylon, Uranium and more, for a total of 368 resonant models. (The list will grow with updates).

For unparalleled precision, Substantia uses 100 Resonant Band Pass filter for each voice, for a total of 800 filters (8 voice polyphony).

You can excite the resonators with contact microphones (2 for stereo sound), samples, or white noise and experience a new exciting way to make digital sounds with human gestures. Substantia is a powerful tool to create new hyper-real sounds, from amazing bongos to luxurious glassy and metallic textures.

A must have for experimental musicians, lovers of new frontiers of sound.

Shutdown Sounds by Sensel

Playlist:

1. Sensel - Hugo R.A. Paris Sound Bath for UVI Falcon

Download from https://sensel.com/pages/sensel-hra-p...
This instrument was designed with sounds by artist Hugo R.A. Paris for the Sensel Morph Buchla Thunder Overlay using the default map for Preset 1 on the Thunder. It also works for the default MPE map for the Piano, Drum,and Music Production overlays.

MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) is used to create a "sound bath" instrument for ambient audio explorations.

Vertical gestures on each note control filter cutoff for a bandpass digital filter. After-pressure controls the stereo spread of the digital filter. Velocity selects the start point of the loop.

The long "feathers" of the Buchla Thunder control samples from a Paris composition, primarily using the 4MS SWN synthesizer.

Novation Spotlight: Freedoms Found in Isolation w/ Baths

via Novation where you'll find the full article.

"Musician/Composer Baths discusses his positive experiences with isolation.

Words: Will Wiesenfeld aka Baths / Geotic

Isolation is so strangely polarized in our minds. It’s the dogma of introverts and the bane of extroverts. I think in actuality, isolation doesn’t need to be such an emotionally-infused concept. It’s just a practical part of a healthy lifestyle. Like breakfast, or exercise. Isolation can balance out the amount of time we spend being present with other people. It’s the other half of that experience: being present with yourself, which is equally important. I work and make music entirely from home so isolation is pretty integral for me. In all the different little vignettes I might picture about my current lifestyle, being by myself plays a major role, but in moderation alongside being with other people. I’m passionate about the benefits of isolation because of how much it’s helped me but I also understand it’s not the same for everyone. Even a moderate level of isolation can seem daunting if it's not something you regularly practice. A look at my positive relationship with isolation might help showcase how it can be a comfortable place for self-engagement and a welcome ally in creative freedom."

"Tried to create some darker ambient drones with the Novation Bass Station 2. All sounds coming directly from the Bass Station, plugged into the iPad to add some extra layers with realtime fx and reverb using Eventide Blackhole, FAC Alteza, Modal Granular, SpaceCraft and Discord4. Recorded in one take with AUM."

Granular Synth Drone Music w/ Little deFormer 3 #TTNM

Published on Apr 17, 2020 THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Weekend ambient drone music! No samples, only synth and drum oscillators of the Little Deformer :) MORE INFO BELOW!

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥

I've got four parts running in drone mode, so they don't require any sequencing and their VCAs are constantly open. Tip: Make sure to assign a specific voice number to each part in its TRIG menu, so that there is no drone voice stealing or resetting, when other parts are played by the running sequencer. Then there are three percussion parts and a melody part, with lots of sequencer randomization. Of course I'm also using assigned knobs to control the volume of the parts and there are the two audio and sequence layers between which I morph as well."
