Thin Air - Genki Wave MIDI Ring vs. ROLI Equator2 Synth Performance

Nular Music

"In this video I used the Wave MIDI ring by Genki Instruments to control the parameters of ROLI's Equator2 synth plugin via hand gestures.

I've been fascinated by this form of expression since I first heard about Source Audio's Hot Hand ring and the Mi.Mu Gloves, but I couldn't see how I could integrate it into my workflow until now.

nularseq, the Max for Live sequencer I developed specifically for finger drumming turned out to work very well in this context: it allows me to trigger sequences of MIDI notes via tapping my fingers.

Equator2's deep modulation system allows me to control the sound exactly the way I want to. In this performance I used the pan gesture to blend between two oscillators, the tilt gesture to control filter cutoff and scan through a wavetable and the roll gesture to control delay feedback, unison detune and various other parameters.

It's a pretty amazing experience to be able to trigger notes and control various aspects of the sound completely untethered, and I can see a lot of creative uses of this technology. Don't panic, I don't intend to ditch my Launchpad anytime soon =), but expect more videos exploring this form of expression from me soon."

via this auction

"I bought this Prophet 5 in Venice from a music producer 6 years ago. It's the rare Rev2 version. It has a stronger and warmer sound compared to the later versions, but more instable.

The Power supply is a little bit noisy and the synth needs to be turned on for 15 minutes and a few autotunes to stabilize. But all these things are normal for this version. The sound has its charm and character, the SSM gives the sound a distinctive power. Mine has just been recently serviced. An SSM 2020, a few SSM30, an I3292 (electronic switch), TL084 (operational) have been replaced with original components. Ideally necessary a recalibration of the ADC and DAC from a good tech to have a perfect instrument."

Tease - Korg OPSIX Patch Idea

sonicstate

"We don't usually do this, but we found a great way to create patches on the new Korg OPSIX FM synth, so we thought we'd share it. -Load up DX 7 patches (yeah you can, its easy) find an interesting patch, swap algorithms around till you find something you like, then adjust to taste."

And a jam:

Synth JAM - Korg OPSIX, Pittsburgh SV-1, Bluebox mixer and DrumBrute Impact
sonicstate

"The Korg OPSIX arrived (review coming), so we put it together with the @1010music Bluebox Mixer/recorder, the @Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers SV-1 and the @Arturia DrumBrute Impact and Keystep Pro to create a little vibe with a slight nod to a christmas chord."
