Introduction to Oscilloscopes used with Modular Synths - w/ Bernhard Rasinger (live from PIFcamp)


Bastl Instruments

"In this workshop we are going to focus on basics of visualising waveforms and signals with an oscilloscope and why that is amazing for modular synthesis.

Bernhard Rasinger is know for his modular laser performances as BRLaser or collaborations project Tearing Light From Sound or Laser Bros. In his artistic practice he creates immersitve synaesthetic experiences of visualisation waveforms generated on an analog modular synthesizer.

Workshop streamed live from PIFCamp 2020 in Slovenia"

"The Sirius is a keyboard groove-synth, featuring a subtractive hybrid-tone-generation synthesizer referred to as DTE ('Difficult To Explain') synthesis introduced in 1997 by Quasimidi. The unit features a both real-time and step sequencer with pattern and song modes, capable of acting basic drum machine, groove-box, or sound-module. The units is 7x multitimbral and has 28-voice polyphony across it's 7 tracks, with track selecting a (track-specific) sound within 96 sounds (per bank) of preset- or user-writeable sounds."

"The Technox was something of a follow-up to Quasimidi's first rack-mountable synth, the "MASS" engine Quasar. The Quasar was a do-it-all multitimbral unit that was quite powerful, but had a rather lacking overall sound. The single-unit-high silver-clad Technox is a vast improvement based upon the Raven engine, though it's still a mid-90s ROMpler and so playing many sounds at the highest or lowest octaves brings out tell-tale artifacts.

But what are those sounds? Well the phrase "techno rave electronic" on the fascia would probably hint at what one would find, and indeed the presets are utterly 90's techno, rave, IDM, electronica goodness from every pore. Lots of pretty solid basses, rave leads, hooverish sounds, acid squeals, spacey pads and some great drum kits. The latter includes full sets of TR-808, 909 and 606 hits. There are 512 presets, which for a 1995 synth wasn't bad!

Whereas the Quasar excelled at providing a ton of bread-and-butter sounds, the Technox is oriented towards dance musicians. To this end, a sequencer is also included which can address up to 16 MIDI parts. Each part has its own level, pan and effects send, and much more besides. There's a lot of good stuff here for darker and ambient genres!

There's stereo outs, full MIDI In/Out/Thru and a foot switch jack. The Technox's greatest asset, ultimately, is its 16-part multitimbrality. Channel 10 is fixed to addressing drums, but the other 15 channels can go where you want.

There's a ton of good sounds in the Technox, and it is still very useable in many electronic music genres. They're not easy to find but definitely worth a listen!

The 512 sounds are divided into 4 banks."

"The Stuber is a stereo resonant filter and downsampler, with many androgynous (neither input nor output) nodes to bend the sound."

04 The Dreadbox Typhon: Filter


AutomaticGainsay

"Here is a demonstration of the sound and functionality of the filter found on the Dreadbox Typhon.

The theme for this demonstration was recorded by multitracking the Dreadbox Typhon over drum patterns fashioned from GarageBand loops."
