Only grief weathers time | Downtempo electronic synth instrumental

video upload by MIDERA

"I think I have never sat here longer, not knowing a thing to write about, or how to title this track. I've thought about the day, the week, and all my music ever makes me think about is just how fleeting time is - I don't normally feel that way towards anything I listen to, just my music. I wonder if that's how others view their work? Or maybe it's just the focus of what I do? Which reminds me - when I ask if my music invokes 'sadness' I'm often hearing that, no, it doesn't sound sad, which is bizarre, because that is almost always the mood I'm going for.

Ok - I guess that helped me figure out my title. Now I wonder whether I need to add a string of instruments in there... It's what I always do, but I don't like it. So, I guess I won't.

But I better list out what I had because I recently went back to a track and masterfully did not include everything and now I've forgotten.

Roland Jupiter 6 - pads at the beginning and throughout
Roland SH-101 - bass
Sequential Prophet 10 - Arp
DSI Tempest - Druims
Squarp Pyramid - Sequencer
All sounds routed to AUX to Strymon Volante then to Eventide Space"

Keystep 37 + Moog Minitaur + Analog Rytm + Rhodes = more DAWless Jams!

video upload by Jeremy Parker

"I just put together this cool little DAWless setup for coming up with tunes, jamming, and even practicing over changes. The Arturia Keystep 37 is the sequencer and controller for the Moog Minitaur, so the basslines can be held down, while I'm free to play on the Rhodes MKIII EK-10. The Elektron Analog Rytm MKII is the drum machine and provides clock to the KeyStep. Overall, this is a fun little rig, and a good way to come up with ideas and just have fun."

Yamaha CS-15 Controlled by Kenton Pro Solo MK3

video upload by Bata

"Some noodling using the Nord Wave as a midi keyboard and a Kenton Pro Solo MK3 to control a Yamaha CS-15. This allows you to set the note priority, portamento type, and bend range as well mix an LFO in with the pitch CV for adding pitch modulation from the Nord's aftertouch. Overall it makes the CS-15 way more playable and works great for sequencing."

Eurorack distortion comparison - January 2023

video upload by John Schussler

"I used to number my distortion comparisons, but there are so many now, and in different forms, that I've decided it'll be easier to just go by date.

Here's the January 2023 batch. All have been released fairly recently AFAIK.

The comparison is a little tilted in that some are just drive circuits, while others are full on distortion/clippers. But I prefer to think of it as comparing along a range vs. a head-to-head evaluation.

Note that the video goes from soft to loud at times, because, y'know, distortion, so I recommend not blasting it too loud until you've skipped around a bit to get a feel for the dynamic range.

VCO is an Acid Rain Chainsaw saw wave. Envelope: Zadar. Sequencer: Stochastic IG.

Memory-5, Mic, and Laura Derwn

video upload by Critter & Guitari

"MC Toaster Oven came by to make a track with Memory-5, a new Organelle patch made by user jackprime. It's an authentic emulation of a vintage analog synth that may or may not have "5" in its name. It has a wide range of smooth sounds with limited controls and you can download it here: https://patchstorage.com/memory-5/

MC Toaster Oven has a long rider, but we could only accommodate the Critter & Guitari Microphone and an Organelle S. The Microphone is being processed by our latest and greatest patch Laura Derwn! Use Laura Derwn for all your Derwns!

Lyrics:

Standing in line at the supermarket,
Asking the cashier for my receipt.
Walking in between the cement trucks,
Cars share the sidewalk with my feet.

Waiting for my turn at the crosswalk,
Where the light has fallen down.
Guess I’ll just run through the traffic
while the car horns make their sounds.

Climbing up the stairs of the building.
Time to check for drips.
Heating up my lunch in the toaster oven:
Got to have it with my chips.

Pushing several buttons on the keyboard,
Looking for the right sound.
Microphone in my right hand,
While the beat goes round and round..."
