Synth Jam 87: Elektron Model Cycles


video upload by Marcus Padrini

"Feliz 2022 a todos!

A primeira synth jam do ano traz uma groovebox que eu tenho há mais de um ano e ainda não consegui realmente me dedicar a ela, a Elektron Model Cycles! Trata-se de um instrumento com algumas máquinas de timbres FM, oferecendo bateria, percussão, leads, baixos, pads e etc. Seguindo a tradição da Elektron , a Cycles tem um sequenciador muito poderoso e recursos incríveis para performance em tempo real.

Está nos planos mostrar mais a Cycles por aqui.

Kasser Synths Arcade and Strymon Nightsky


video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"I'm starting 2022 with a rather relaxed video using the #KasserSynthsArcade #FMsynth with the #StrymonNightsky, using the latter's freeze, filter, LFO and sequencer features. No table of contents needed this time."

Happy 2022 everyone!

This song was a late night session recorded a couple months back ( OCT 2021 ) not originally meant for release but after a few listens it has this special feeling that i thought was worth sharing with you all. The recording was all done in one take, more or less adlib on the go with the exception of the KORG monologue sequence which was pre-programmed.

You can also find this track on the cold/err EP https://music.ollilab.com/album/cold-err together with two other songs i recorded in my new studio space during 2021. The EP release version has a message and voices overlaid post production, for those of you with sharp senses :)

This is a very rough take, it has a lot of noises, overdrive and glitches but i decided to keep it as is due to raw natural feeling of the jam. Straight from the heart, unfiltered.

Take care all, hoping that this year will bring loads of great music and great times to everyone out there. Stay safe and keep the music flowing!

Yours truly
-BURG

Ambient 100% Moog Minitaur - Happy 2022!


video upload by lucafrancinimusic

"Let me celebrate the new year with a classic of the one synth challenges of this channel. The undisputed heavy-weight champion Moog Minitaur multi tracked several times to create a hopefully pleasant ambient track.

FX are as usual delays and reverbs added in Cubase.

This is also the first video in my new very shiny studio :)

Happy 2022 everyone!"

Elektron Digitone, Tasty Chips GR-1 and Strymon Nightsky


video upload by Luca Longobardi

"Ma poiché quella promessa non metteva vere radici nella sua coscienza, alla prima pioggia veniva trascinata via dalla corrente e si perdeva chissà dove.
(H. Murakami, 1Q84)

Technical notes:
In this video I live-looped the Digitone sequence with GR-1 which runs a granular patch I made for this dronish track (LFO on Position and Spray).
The live recording runs on 3 different voices: one is in the original key, the second one is an octave above and the third one is a 5th above. I use them to build to track together with the Shimmer of the Nightsky.
Routing: Digiton into GR-1 through USB (audio-interface), GR-1 into Nightsky."

"4-voice polyphonic little brother/ forerunner of the legendary CS-80

Recently refurbished, tuned/calibrated, and customized. Everything works, ready to plug-and-play!

Inspiring to play and built like a tank. No joke, this behemoth weighs nearly 100 pounds. Built to last for generations.

Designed for North America standard 117Vac power with grounded (3-prong) plug.

Run it through your favorite effects and blast off into outer analog space!

Special features:
- There is a custom polyphonic CHORUS switch mounted on the lower left console panel. (See detail photo.) This mode sounds a second voice for each key pressed. In other words, polyphony goes from 4 to 2, but those 2 voices have DOUBLE THE FATNESS. It sounds nice, and you can turn it on and off whenever you want to, even while actively playing.

- On the rear connections panel, there is a custom SUSTAIN PEDAL jack. (See detail photo.) Perhaps surprisingly (it was to me anyway), a stock CS-50 does not have a SUSTAIN PEDAL input. This particular unit DOES. Simple and just plain useful. (but no pedals included)

The synth comes with the original lid, which also serves as a built-in road case with carry handle (more about that handle later) and 4 chrome legs, that's all. There are no other accessories included. Unfortunately, the two cross-brace rods have been lost to the sands of time and are not included in this sale. Fortunately, the synth is plenty stable enough without them to stand on a rug in your home or studio. Or you can always leave the legs off and lay it on a table or a heavy-duty keyboard stand if you have one.

Full disclosure:
The synth has some chipping of wood veneer trim, scratches and chips in the paint, and marks and scuffs on the case exterior. It's a reasonable amount of general wear-and-tear for a fully working instrument that is 45 years old. The little EXTERNAL IN LEVEL knob on the rear connections panel has a slight bend in the shaft, but the knob itself is intact, and the control works absolutely fine.

Some of the sliders travel a little looser or stiffer than others, but every single one of them works."
