Ensoniq DP/4+ | Amazing Cult Classic Effects

Published on Apr 30, 2020 Espen Kraft

00:00 Intro
01:10 Audio examples
02:50 Configurations and setup
07:16 Audio examples
09:11 Using the DP/4 as an external effect in the DAW
14:45 Vocoding

"The Ensoniq DP/4 entered the market in 1992. I bought one and set it up as 4 independent effects processors through my mixer. One for each AUX send. Worked beautifully for years.
It can sound gritty, it can sound clean.

In 1995 Ensoniq released an upgraded version called the DP/4+, the one I use in this video. The changes aren't revolutionary, some are cosmetic upgrades, some more functional. More guitar cab algorithms etc. I like they made room for a XLR-input in the front.

They also released a 2-effect version called the DP/2 in 1995."

"Colorful Rhythm" feat. Teenage Engineering OP-Z + ROLI LUMI Keys

Published on Apr 27, 2020 Lo-fi Pask

"Took this old OP-Z project and added some "spice" to use the LUMI Keys as MIDI controller. The result is incredibly... COLORFUL! :-D

Bass, drums, arpeggiator, chords and... everything else you can hear, comes from Teenage Engineering OP-Z. All sounds sequenced on it, except of chords and (semi-improvised) arpeggiator, played "live".

Enjoy! ;-)

Vintage CRUMAR 2003 organ / synthesizer / string / brass ensemble

Never seen one of these before. This is the first one featured on the site.

Playlist:

1. CRUMAR 2003 organ / synthesizer / string / brass ensemble: first startup in years

The Crumar 2003 is a very rare instrument which combines the best Crumar had to offer in the late 1970's. It includes one of the best solid state drawbar organs, a monophonic 1 VCO synth, a brass / piano / string section and the Nerve Centre 15 accompanyment section which produces lot's of spacy stuff. The brass / piano / string combination was also offered in standalone instruments like the Orchestrator and Multiman. Strangely enough these are traded for a lot more money then this combined instrument but then again: It weighs a ton and takes up a lot of real estate. This one is a bit of an old banger but I simply cannot bring myself to getting rid of it. It's simply too rare. For more info on my creative adventures visit www.brassee.com. Have fun!

2. CRUMAR 2003: some general maintenance and startup tips for old organs / synthesizers / keyboards

This is the second video about my rare Crumar 2003 organ. It shows the electronics inside and contains a few general tips about starting up old electronic instruments after years of neglect.

3. CRUMAR 2003 organ/ synthesizer / brass / string ensemble video 3

Here's the 3rd video about my old Crumar 2003. It's similar to the startup video but a bit more compact and made with th asssitence of a camera(wo)man. It's just as unproffesional in about every other aspect though but real vintage synthesizer and keyboard fans might still like it. For more about my creative adventures visit: www.brassee.com

Exploring Relabi with Monome crow , norns , ipad & modular

Published on Apr 30, 2020 junklight

"Relabi - the self erasing pulse! I've been a intrigued by the idea of this after reading this essay http://www.johnberndt.org/relabi/Rela... - escape from the grid and all that.

This week I've been exploring it - if you follow me on twitter then you'll have seen an audulus patch and the an early incarnation of what you see here. The Audulus patch migrated into the Monome crow and from there into the Norns where it is now driving 4 separate voices - two on the ipad and 2 in the modular - where the crow drives two Noise Engineering oscillators - the Sinc Iter and Cursus Iteritas using the envelope language built into the crow.

This setup shows why Monome gear has found a home at the heart of my music making equipment - the ability to build an instrument quickly and easily - this entire script was written just to explore these ideas - the grid gives me a lot of control over different paramters & crow lets me unite the ipad and the modular."

Cescato Musiktechnologie Gives Away "T-C-M Quarantine Sound Banks Collection"

via Wally Cescato

"Due to these difficult times of staying at home, Wally Cescato gives away a collection of 640 patches for the 'Trans Computer Maschine' VST Instrument that gathered throughout a long time. They are intended for normal keyboard playing, without using the sequencer section and most of them use just two oscillators. That's because they date back to the time before the 'T-C-M', when the project was still just an emulation of the ARP Odyssey. The sounds are nameless and simply numbered in no specific order, and of course, it is expressly allowed to rename them and build other banks to share with others!

The full "640 patches" pack is freely available at the official site.
