Accord Melisma - Non-C Note Custom Chords

freshnelly

"I must admit, I have been really enjoying the new Custom chords feature since V.1.4 and have come up with some interesting methods like this one...

This is an interest video made just after the release of V.1.4 using Custom Chord Editor to make chords that don't follow the "rules" of music so much.
I have added 3 versions of a 7 chord, which is originally a preset 4 note C E G Bb. and popped in duplicate notes (+ 1 octave) etc as:
E1 Bb1 C2 G2
G1 Bb1 C2 E2 Bb2
Bb1 E2 G2 Bb2 (no C at all!)

Inversions +1,+2 etc act differently too of course. Expansion hasn't be shown here but changes quite a bit because it relies heavily on the number of notes in a chord but also repetition of notes, will cover in future video..
Generally though, 7 chord over 2 octaves @ 7 notes makes for a very different expand :)"

New Syntaxis Micromodular Starter Set

Krzychu1995

"!!! Available immediatelly at http://syntaxis.com.pl !!!
Today I have something very special to show. In this video you can see and hear synth made from Syntaxis Micromodular set. Instrument is assembled from basic set of micromodules (uVCO, uVCF, uVCA, uLFO and uADSR), but it sounds quite versatile. User is able to assemble synthesizer on it's own, in modular way, but much cheaper and without necessity of use dedicated multipliers - breadboard does it already! Usually building subassemblies of synths on breadboard makes circuit unreliable in longer term. But with Micromodules it works like it was soldered together - you can assemble you own synth, get plywood, drill holes for potentiometers, screw them in place and carry your own synth around for gigs."

"This is a set of components for building a basic but complete analog synthesizer on a breadboard. Although it might not have professional look, you will be surprised with its professional sound.

The set includes:

μPSU·112·A
μVCO·3340·A
μVCF·3320·LP4·A
μVCA·3360·LIN·A
μADSR·3310·A
μLFO·3340·A

"Olde skoole analog synthesizer from ancient Britain"

Curious if it's Grimes'. Elon should build clones and take on Uli. That would be fun.

"Today we take a look at the Crumar Multiman-S, an Italian string synthesizer from 1977.

We also look at the concept of a string synthesizer in general; an instrument that served as a stop gap, but that forged its own identity due the distinctive sound and the records they were used in.

Originally conceived by Ken Freeman, others saw the impending gold rush and got their instruments out. When I say there was a 'string synth heyday', I'm not exaggerating. Here's a list of just some of them:

Patch Notes: Wallis

FACTmagazine

"This week’s episode of Patch Notes features a pummelling session from rising techno iconoclast Wallis. The producer, DJ and mastering engineer is fast becoming one of the most unique members of the Berlin scene, blending extremely hard and fast productions with sensual melodies and vocals.

This performance sees Wallis utilising her usual setup for live shows, which consists of modular synthesis, an Elektron Octatrak sampler, Arturia’s BeatStep Pro sequencer and guitar effects pedals. “I would say I am more on the West-coast end of the synthesis spectrum”, she explains. “I like very complex and somewhat surprising results because this is, in my opinion, how you get the most unique sounds, which is what modular synthesis is for me.”

“Modular is for me testing the limits of a system. It’s also about controlling those unpredictable outcomes, especially in my type of techno that really wants to be dance floor friendly at all times. It’s all about balance I guess. Making it as weird and interesting as possible but still pretty damn four to the floor, for the most part.”

Wallis is a resident at LSDXOXO’s Floorgasm. The first outdoor edition of the beloved party will take place this Saturday, August 29, at Berlin’s Trauma Bar Und Kino.

For more music from Wallis and friends, check out her label, Jell."
