Housewife - Daan, on two Korg MS-20's (cover by Munatix)

Munatix

"In order to test our two serviced MS-20's, we play here the instrumental track 'Housewife'. Originally it is from the great Belgian performer 'Daan'. In Belgium this was a hit in 2004. Saw Daan's keyboard player Jeroen Swinnen play this live on an MS-20. This was what inspired us to use this gem, to test our MS-20's. Btw, distortion is applied to the sound of the MS-20 that plays the lead."

"I am currently working on another music video for the fall of 2020. I decided to go off the beat and path and document one of my custom synthesizer builds. Learn how to build your own custom wooden side panels for your favorite synthesizer. This video was not scripted so I tend to repeat myself. This video was not scripted so I tend to repeat myself. Warning! Some portions of the audio is loud due to the use of power tools."

Beetronics - Swarm - Fuzz Synthesizer

Dennis Kayzer

"Guitar Effects Pedal Demo - Beetronics - Swarm - Fuzz Synthesizer"

"The Swarm is an Analog Fuzz Harmonizer that sounds like a thousand killer bees coming to get you!

It basically turns your input signal into a square wave, than multiplies and divides the frequency of that wave, giving you nine possible harmonies in two different octaves. Modulation is applied to the harmonies making them go from a nearly perfect tracking harmony, to a wild and uncontrollable swarm of mad bees.

The WORKER sets the level of your input signal, now fuzzy and buzzy. The SPECIES allows you to select between 9 different intervals for your harmonies. The QUEEN and DRONE set the levels for each of the harmonies that stay one octave apart.

The FLIGHT and STING control the modulation applied to the harmonies. They are highly interactive controls and you will find many different sounds by just messing with these. STING sets how fast or slow the harmonies will follow your playing. Turn it CCW for it to feel like the harmonies sting you at every note you play. Turn it CW and the harmonies will sound like a drunk bee hovering up and down around the root. FLIGHT will set the response of the modulation. CCW the harmonies will keep it oscillating up and down, while CW it will glide and hold from one note to the next.

The MASTER control will set your output volume.

With all that said, no matter how one tries to explain the theory and what each control does, the Swarm is best when played by instinct. Mess with every control until you find a tone that you like and let the bees take you to sonic places you've never been!

One of Starships [Novation Circuit + Volca Bass]

Flak Cannon

"I've had a Volca Bass for a few weeks, but haven't actually done anything with it. Now was the time for that to change so I paired it with Novation Circuit for some trancey goodness! The original plan was to do a goa track in the style of Astral Projections, but no luck making it work this time. Went with something more lower tempo instead.

The roles of the machines were reversed a bit: the Circuit does the bassline while Volca is on the lead/pluck duty. All of this was finished with a bunch of effects to give more spaaaaaaaaaaaaace.

And a final tip: sometimes I can't come up with a good song title.. so it's time to cheat a bit! A site called 'Seventh Sanctum' is the perfect place for all kinds of nerdy'n'geeky title/idea generating. The 'Science Fiction Tarot Card Generator' was responsible for the name of this track."
