Analogue & digital jam with Moog Matriarch and Elektron Digitakt

Jay Hosking

"The Matriarch and Digitakt couldn't be much different — a sprawling analogue synth and a compact digital sampler — but I found that their strengths were really complementary. Here, the Digitakt sequences the Matriarch, and is also taking advantage of the Reel Feels sample pack by @Jogging House, which you should definitely check out. Get it here: https://jogginghouse.bandcamp.com/alb...

Altogether, this came out more lovely and lo-fi than I could have hoped.

Moog Matriarch + Empress Effects Reverb — Four synth voices
Elektron Digitakt — Five sample tracks (four melodic samples, plus a multi-sampled drum track)

Written and recorded in a 48-hour period and uploaded as is, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master."

"In this video I eat the chard! It was pretty good too! Do plants have feelings? Can they scream? In this video, the MIDI Sprout is sending the biofeedback from the brutalized chard to a Farfisa, Jupiter 8, Buchla Music Easel, a piano and a drum set."

"A fully live impro session, no overdubs no corrections, one take. Andy Tillison of The Tangent slightly stoned....."

Studiologic Sledge on top. It took me a second to ID the bottom. See if you can. Tip: what looks kind of like a knob the right isn't. Not sure what it is, but everything else matches up. Highlight the following for the synth: GEM Promega 2.

Eurorack Techniques: Switches and Maths

Patchwerks Seattle

"In this video resident expert Nick Bigelow shares his technique for using CV controllable switches (WMD SL3KT) along with Make Noise Maths to create unique and precise sources of modulation.

From WMD: "SL3KT (pronounced "Select") is a simple three-channel switch module for Eurorack Modular Synthesizers.

Three independent, two-way switches allow for users two select between different sources or destinations of both CV and Audio Signals. Useful for many tasks in a Eurorack system such as sequence selecting, CV selecting, boolean logic operations, group switching, group routing, gating, waveform mixing, and so much more!"

From Make Noise: "The MATHS music synthesizer module is an analog computer designed for musical purposes. Amongst other things, it will allow you to:
-Generate a variety of linear, logarithmic, or exponential triggered or continuous functions
-Integrate an incoming signal
-With no signal applied, generate a variety of linear, logarithmic, or exponential functions
-Add, subtract and OR up to 4 signals
-Generate analog signals from digital information (Gate / Clock)
-Generate digital information (Gate / Clock) from analog signals
-Delay digital (Gate / Clock) information
-If the above list reads like science rather than music, here is the translation:
Voltage Controlled Envelope or LFO as slow as 25 minutes and as fast as 1khz
-Apply Lag, Slew or Portamento to control voltages
-Change the depth of modulation and modulate backwards!
-Combine up to 4 control signals to create more complex modulations
-Musical Events such as Ramping up or Down in Tempo, on command
-Initiating Musical events upon sensing motion in the system
-Musical note division and / or Flam
-Perfect for modulating the DPO and just about anything else

From Mutable Instruments: "Plaits is the spiritual successor of Mutable Instruments’ best-selling voltage-controlled sound source, Braids. Not just a mkII version: its hardware and software have been redesigned from scratch.

Just like its predecessor, it offers direct access to a large palette of easily tweakable raw sonic material, covering the whole gamut of synthesis techniques.

SIMPLICITY FIRST
Gone are the screen, menu system, hidden settings, and the long list of somewhat redundant synthesis models.

Thanks to additional CV inputs, and to the use of three timbre-shaping parameters per model, Plaits is straightforward to use, and much closer to the ideal of one synthesis technique = one model. What were fragmented islands of sound in Braids are now part of a continuum of sounds.

READY FOR PERCUSSION
Patch a trigger generator or sequencer into Plaits’ trigger input and instantly use the module as a percussive source thanks to its built-in virtual low-pass gate (LPG).

An internal D (decay) envelope generator is normalled to all unpatched CV inputs. Just turn the corresponding attenuverter to add pitch, timbre or morphing modulation. And if plucks and snappy hits are not your thing, patch your own envelope or CV source into the LPG CV input."

Metasonix RK6 Resonant Lowpass Tube Filter (Eurorack Expansion)

Learning Modular

"This primitive tube-based voltage controlled filter has a unique sound (it’s especially good for horns) and a few quirks when it comes to controlling it. Definitely not like the other VCFs in your case.
