MATRIXSYNTH

Tipped 200k Posts Today

Apparenlty I tipped over 200,000 posts on MATRIXSYNTH today. I wasn't planning on posting anything but I figured I should at least account for the milestone in a separate post. I also wanted to let the natural order of posts flow for the day vs. hijacking the 200,000th post.

The site has been running non-stop since July 20 of 2005, so roughly 15 years and five months. I've only missed a single day posting at the very beginning back on August 6 of 2005, when I had no idea there would be something to post every single day, and before the days of decent hotel wifi. Note 2005 was two years before the first iPhone was launched.

The crazy thing some may not know? Every single post on the site has gone up by hand. There is zero automation. That's over 200k manually created posts to date. :)

Thank you to everyone who has stuck around all this time, supporters of the site, and of course the banner sponsors you see to the right and Sequential up above.

Happy Holidays everyone!

P.S. The 200,000th post? "WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD". It came in at just the right time and up it went.

GLASYS: Can I Write a JRPG Theme... In An Hour? (From Scratch #1)

GLASYS

"Watch me succeed (or fail miserably?) at composing & recording a JRPG-style tune in one hour. (I didn't actually plan on writing a video game style theme, I just hit record and that's what came out).
So, I've been wanting to do this for a long time - get over my own perfectionism and create something as quickly as possible, without the ability to redo stuff or get into the details. Obviously it's far from perfect, but I actually had a lot of fun doing this - it's very liberating!
I would love to make this a weekly challenge. Let me know if you enjoyed watching this, and if you have any ideas for future episodes (could be anything from a certain style, a mood, or even a cover that I create in one hour)."

Happy Nerding - FX AID XL - Stereo Effects Demo

Sound Isles

"I explore the sounds of the FX AID XL by Happy Nerding in a non-talking demo. The FX AID XL runs 32 effects algorithms arranged in 4 banks of 8 effects. You choose and customize the effects / banks on the FX AID via their editor page / app (https://fxaid.app/). There are over 100 high quality algorithms including amazing emulations of classic reverbs, delays, pitch shifters and original effects combinations all with a Stereo signal path.

The XL grants separate CV modulation inputs for all three effect parameters plus a Sample Rate Reducer (SRR) input. FX AID XL has four user storable presets that store the selected program and all three controls. CV assign, presets and the last used effect are remembered and always available after power offs.

Notes:
Using the Arturia Keystep Pro to sequence + play a range of sounds from the 4MS - Stereo Triggered Sampler and Rings in an alternate FM Voice mode. Pamela's NEW Workout is applying some simple modulation to CV parameters. Life is Unfair Devices - Potential Joystick Controller makes an appearance.

Thanks to Happy Nerding.

Ivn Riptek - Consciousness Projection at 31°15'33N, 35°14'40"E

SEKRET PAKT

This one is in via supporting member, Ian Richter.

"An excerpt from an audio-visual cross-dimensional consciousness projection by ivn riptek.

We have information that leads us to believe that we will soon be receiving a data package from Ivn Riptek that we understand will contain a number of audio recordings.

Unfortunately, due to our lack of technological understanding with regards to cross-dimensional data transfer, and due to the the complexities of quantum manipulation in general, communication with Mr. Riptek has been challenging.

If our calculations are correct, our prediction is that the files will be available for release around mid 2021.

Noise Cues: Regen Modulation

Noise Engineering

"Welcome to the series launch of Noise Cues! In this episode let’s get creative with reverb. We use three different envelopes to modulate the feedback on our verb to create some interesting sounds. Some simple patching will create horn and string effects from a standard sawtooth wave. Want to learn more? Check out the blog post here: https://www.noiseengineering.us/blog/...
