"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Akai MPC ONE. Is this groovebox, music production platform and successor to legendary instruments like the Akai MPC 60 and MPC 2000 and sibling to the more upscale models Akai MPC Live and Akai MPC X on par with its competitors like the Elektron Octatrack and even software solutions like Ableton Live or FL Studio? Is it NPC ONE???"

Qu-Bit Mojave | Live Granular Sandstorm

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"It's not easy to make a Mojave video after doing one about Arbhar V2. First, let me clearify that Mojave is an effect that needs a source, and Arbhar is more like a granular synth that can run completely by itself. I will clear this up in the forthcoming Grainstation 2 video with a big compare of synths vs effects. I am not sponsored so I can share my personal thoughts on this.

Mojave is great for processing rhythmic atonal sounds like percussion or found sounds. It's not ideal for processing melodic phrases because it's hard to keep in tune. There's no typical harmonic spread but somekind of random sequence generator that follows a scale. So it can suddendly behave like a granular engine with a built in 'Marbles' and you have no control over what's going on except shutting it up. If you're in the wrong scale, it can go major in a minor patch. It's designed for live, but it can easily trash your gig too.

But don't get me wrong, Mojave is definitely a keeper. This video is a journey where I slowly learn to understand and deeply appreciate the module.

If you already own Beads, you may want to skip Mojave because they're roughly on the same functional and sonic level. If you're completely new to granular, you need to figure out if you want an effect or a synth. Mojave has no storage, it doesn't remember anything when the power goes down. And if you're serious about live graining (and sustaining) real acoustic instruments, forget about the built-in mic and get a decent stereo field recorder with audio out. However, since Mojave has no storage, I'd recommend having a sample player nearby and store your field recordings there."

[ELZ_1 play] FM mode of an 8bit wave memory synth experiment

video upload by SONICWARE

"Today I experimented with the FM mode of the 8BIT WAVE MEMORY SYNTH engine.

This engine has a built-in 2-operator FM synth.
So an 8BIT WAVE MEMORY table is generated by specifying the RATIO and LEVEL parameters of the modulator.
These parameters can also be modulated with LFOs and envelopes.

In today's experiment, I'm modulating the FM RATIO and FM LEVEL parameters with various LFO waveforms.

Please take a look.

Thanks,

Yu Endo"

Roland GAIA 2 / SH-101 Model - APHEX TWIN style sequence from scratch!

video upload by gattobus

"The SH-101 is my absolute favorite synthesizer for bass lines.
Thanks to GAIA 2 full size keys, knobs and faders, you get the same feel as the original with all the controls where you expect to find them...
...and it sounds amazing thanks to the new integrated SHIMMER REVERB.

No external FX added. Recorded straight from USB-C to computer.
Enjoy! :D"
