Complex Sounds of the Interstellar Radio

video by Patchwerks Seattle

"In this video resident expert Matthew Piecora explores the vast timbers the Schlappi Engineering Interstellar Radio offers as a complex oscillator.

- Simulates the process of modulating and demodulating a signal for radio transmission
- Effect or complex oscillator (non v/oct)
- Voltage controlled aliasing, distortion, and frequency modulation effects
- Two wide ranging voltage controlled square wave oscillators with individual outputs
- CARRIER oscillator converts input into high frequency pulse train
- DEMODULATOR oscillator inside control loop brings sound back to audio range
- CV applies external voltage control to oscillators or uses input signal as audio rate FM
- Internal oscillators can be replaced with external modulation sources
- TYPE selects demodulation loop type (changes timbre and response)
- ERROR output with threshold control
- TONE control for filtering out the harshest of frequencies
- All analog design
- 14 HP

Strega | Episode 02 | Understanding Strega - feat. Teleplexer 'expander'.

video by Cinematic Laboratory

"The best way to learn and understand Strega is to check out Alessandro Cortini's tracks and performances on YouTube. You'll be diving into sonic landscapes that are beautiful, dark and magical. I wondered Strega would probably perform very well in these genres and styles. It's not your typical ambient dream machine, it's next level. In this video I'll be using Arbhar and Desmodus Versio to bring the raw sounds to production level.

In my previous 'first patch' video I did not use any of the touch terminals, so in this episode it's a main subject. If you own an old Teleplexer, get it near because it's proven to be a great Strega expander. Teleplexer is recently discontinued so it may still be in stock at your local dealer - and it's one of the cheaper MN modules."

Spot the differences: PEAK vs. MPC One (sound design)

video by Floyd Steinberg

"Trying to create exactly the same filter sweep / brass sound on the Novation PEAK (a hybrid synth with analog filters) and the Akai MPC One (a groovebox with built-in virtual analog synths). Up to a certain point, both sound pretty much the same - what could that be? ;-) Table of contents:

00:00​ hello
00:34​ detuned saw wave oscillators
02:23​ amp envelope
03:52​ low pass filter
05:19​ filter envelope
07:01​ filter resonance
08:45​ filter lfo
10:03​ effects
13:38​ conclusion / finished sound comparison"

STEREOPING Synth Controller for Ensoniq Mirage

2021/03 video by Stereoping

"1985 #Ensoniq​ released the #8-bit #Sampler​ 'Mirage'. Great features and sound but a nightmare to edit. In 2021 - just 36 years later - Stereoping offers a little #Midicontroller​ making things a little easier. For technical reasons, the Controller only works with #MASos​ - the "Mirage Advanced Sampling OS". It can not tune in absolute values as we are used to today. The Controller simulates button-presses on the frontpanel. When moving a knob it sends commands to the #Mirage​ like "press PARAM, press 3, press 6, press VALUE" to select Cutoff and show it's value on display. Moving the knob outside the 12 o'clock deadzone starts to send consecutive presses of INCREASE or DECREASE in 3 different speed grades to adjust the value itself. Sounds complicated but it works quite well.
This demo shows how to build a complete program with 11 samples and their upper and lower memory assignments in 5 minutes! Without Controller it would most probably take much longer (i must admit, i did not try it). The video uses a speedup to prevent sending spectators to sleep, hopefully. The background shows a real-world clock to proove it's not fake-demo.
From 3:27​ the defined memory areas are filled with samples... choosing wavesample slot, adjusting external volume, starting sampling, adjusting sampling time for long samples etc.
From 6:57​ the complete Program is used for a little Drum and Bass mockup - even with realtime adjusting of "AMP Release time" - kind of stutter effect :-)

Unless you own or know the Ensoniq Mirage, this video will be quite boring. Maybe you enjoy the background music, Tabla and Sitar are played by the Mirage."

How 4 LFOS into a mixer creates a sequencer.

video by mylarmelodies

"Here is a very ambient moment that accompanies my big 'Generative Suggested Systems' tutorial vid. In it, we turn four LFOs (via a mixer and quantizer) into a sequencer, and trip out running Radio Music into Rings, into the mighty FX Aid. Good times."

Live, 140BPM: L‘amour toujours (Gigi D‘Agostino), played on Korg Volca & ...

video by O.S.cillator

"Well, guys, this is a cover version of what is said to be a real dance floor classic, which came to light by the very end of the last century. Yes, it‘s that old. But still Signore D‘Agostino manages to fill big arenas and everyone seems to know the hook tune. It’s about to become the „Smoke On The Water“ or „Seven Nation Army“ of dance music. Well, maybe I‘m wrong here. Or not. Who knows.
Nevertheless, and even though I am not into dance music myself and there are already so many cover versions existing, I was in the mood to give it a ride on my mini synths.
Hope you like it..."
