Morte et Dabo on GRP A4 Synth

just watch – she’s relaxed …   Another session featuring the mighty GRP A4 and the famous coat from Kazakhstan ;-)This time inspired by (and named after) a patch of the Spectrasonics Omnisphere Synth. Sequences are done using the GRP A4 and a Doepfer Dark Time with a Roland JD 800 and a Korg Wavestation VST. The Leadsound is provided by Arturias Minimoog, the strings by G-Force M-Tron and another Omnisphere. The organ is a GSI VB3. All VSTs are running on Brainspwn Forte 3, VST-Host. The groove pattern is…

King Korg VA with analog filter emulations and tube – rumours and wishes / MS20 re-release (confirmed)

something new approaching, also synthtopia asks for the MS20 to come back in form of a real synth.. if so, I ‚d still answer the same when I saw that controller first- make this thing sound just as it is, add octave shift keys and program change and give it 4-8 voices polyphony and a nice double full blown envelope and FM for those OSCs and it could be something very very cool…The Korg MINI MS-20 Monophonic Synthesizer (NAMM Rumor) – it’s now confirmed, there IS a $599 MS20 analog…

Cylonix Cyclebox Oscillator Module

CYLONIX CYCLEBOX is a digital Oscillator but is is able to generate a large (huuuge!!) frequency range which sounds like it might be good at FM and everything that is modulated at higher speed (audio, possibly beyond?) , it also has Sync to offer and a lot of waveforms compared to „standard“ analog oscillators. these shapes look interesting: Random pulses, truncated sawtooth, bipolar pulse, mirrored bipolar pulse, resonant sweep, mirrored resonant sweep, vowels, mirrored vowels there are nonlinear waveforms (however – don’t know how they are made /of ..) that „Mega“…

Event 

Shiny Toys – Nerdic Audiovisual Walking – Festival

just like to share some images from a nerdy festival, SHINY TOYS –in Mülheim, Germany, Ringlokschuppen 1) those spinning wheels are part of a sound installation, sound generators were added that react on the pulsing light coming from or through the wheels and created a granular sound 2) that tv thing is 4 rows of LEDs that rotate fast enough to create a picture – some old western and Bud Spencer movies work well on it ;) 3) Cicuit Bent Image Processor 4) Concerts of Hidden Technology and Spherical Disrupted 5)…

Frank Bretschneider & Thomas Köner – Dortmund 2012

Just had the chance to see both live which is quite rare, .. both brought minimalistic setups, all took place in a (red coloured) cinema – Frank Bretschneider  very intresting to see Frank had the Octatrack and did almost all the music on it, the Mac Pro (yes, it had the older keyboard, so it must be an early intel one, thanks to the comment it is NOT a PowerPC Powerbook since it has a Magsafe Connector < – updated) – very much on the spot!! Interview in Deutsch mit…

Knifonium – Tube Synth / Röhrensynthesizer

this synth is the second one based on valves, (after the Metasonix S1000, Wretch Machine Analog Synthesizer). der jetzt zweite Synthesizer mit Röhren Technik. he says.. I’ve spent several months with this project, and now I’m beginning to believe, that I will actually finish it. Missing from the photos are of course front panels, keys, power supply, all semiconductor stuff etc. Photos and early CAD drawings here:https://picasaweb.google.com/jonte.knif … 7611939218https://picasaweb.google.com/jonte.knif … 3748053346Shortly: Oscillators, ring modulator, mixer, moog type filter, noise source, Vari Mu type VCA and output amp are tube units. Everything else…

Sequencers and Amplifier Modules for SYNTHOR: Video Demos

Percussa are in the middle of improving their audio cubes and add some software – that make Sequencers and Amplifier Modules for SYNTHOR. those cubes can „modulate“ each other, so to speak they got CV/Gate added to their interface since they can control oscillator pitch in can result in FM sounds, here’s some demos.. to be honest, I don’t exactly know what is happening exactlty in these videos, but it seems they really modulate pitches and therefore we here FM sounds changing to another spectrum when a cube is moved,…

Roland Kuit – Laboratory of Patching – electronic book (HTML+Patch Files) for Nord Modular G2 series

patching modular synths, in this case the Clavia G2 is quite easy, as long as you refer to the standard synths you know and possibly let yourself be influenced or inspired by the synths made to date and all those yesterday ones as well. but if you want more out from the machine, want to get inspired or just want to get an idea how an oscillator could be optimized to play with on your patches – this is for you. this is based on HTML so you can watch…
