Landscape Ferrous - First Impression

The Landscape Ferrous polyphonic string resonator arrived a couple of days ago. Rather than me going on about what it is, I've put the link below for more info.
I was expecting something like a bigger, polyphonic E-bow; but nope, not at all. For one thing, you've got to work at getting the right positions for musical results with the Ferrous. It will take a good bit of practice to get just the right distances from the strings and disk speeds.
For this demo, I used a Squier Strat going through a Zoom MS-50G (HEAVY compression, reverse reverb, "Fender Deluxe" amp), into a Hologram Microcosm, then into the board. The Strat is tuned to an open G.
I've still got a ways to go, but I'm gonna tame t...

Playing the Labyrinth

Просмотров 652 месяца назад

The Moog Labyrinth isn't a synth that you can sit down and "play", like you would play, say, a Minimoog (though you can hook a MIDI keyboard up to it and sort of play it, as seen in a previous video). However, by turning the Seq CV Range knobs, you can coax the Labyrinth into playing notes that will peck out a melody which can sound quite nice. Watch the video for details... Thanks for watching...

Nice long attack (on the Subharm, at least) and decay, lots of reverb and ping-pongy delay. The visuals suck, I know. Just close your eyes, slap on the headphones, and enjoy. Features the old finger tip-on-the-patch cord trick to modulate the oscillators.

Labyrinth and Subharmonicon, Round 2

Просмотров 2873 месяца назад

In the first Lab Subharm video, I clocked them both via MIDI clock. It sounded ok, but not quite right. I had tried clocking the Lab from the Sub, but the Lab seemed to be a half step behind the Sub. I learned that this was a problem with the Sub clock output being behind the main clock. A firmware update took care of that. Now they sync right up. Here's a kinda wacky sounding video, with the S...

Last night I decided to see how the two Moogs interacted with each other. I hadn't worked the Subharm in a good while, so I had to reacquaint myself with it. After a good bit of fidgeting with all the pitch knobs (I find it hard to zero in the tuning of the Labyrinth's oscillators), I came up with this. Here are links to my other synth related endeavors, if you're so inclined... www.youtube.com...

Someone asked me if you could play the Labyrinth with a keyboard. Well, here ya go.

Playing around with Moog Labyrinth again. This time I'm using the "The Lowlands of Early Evening" patch sheet, with one important exception. The patch cord going from the U MIX 1 2 out jack to the VCW VCA CV in jack is left unplugged at the U MIX 1 2 end. Some pretty extreme modulation is introduced by touching the tip of the patch cord. Hefty delay makes for an even wackier sound. I see where ...

Return of the Labyrinth

Time for some more Moog Labyrith exploration. First I go over the block diagram of the synth, for a better understanding of how it works. Then i twiddle some knobs for a while. I think the sounds I got from this session are better than from the first. This time, it's being clocked by Logic via MIDI. Enjoy! 00:00 The dry, nerdy part 04:47 The bleepy bloop part

PolyBrute Experiment #1

Просмотров 1736 месяцев назад

I've been diving into the Arturia PolyBrute for a couple of weeks. This is the first preset, Brute Embrace (patch 1.A1). I may have tweaked it a little at some point. By pressing the HOLD button, you can get an arpeggio effect by hitting each note separately. Envelope generator 3 is set up to loop, so it's retriggering the notes. Here, the 2 lowest notes are played at the same time, for a retri...

Mono/Poly Experiments #2

Просмотров 388 месяцев назад

Next up is a droney kinda patch. The keyboard is in Unison mode, with Hold on. The first couple of minutes, I'm using oscillator sync, modulated by MG1. I mess around with the MG 1 waveform (descending and ascending ramp) and frequency. Then I bring in some frequency modulation, finally adding more control from the pitch bend wheel, controlling oscillator 1. Fun times!

MonoPoly Experiments No.1

Просмотров 638 месяцев назад

I recently scored a Korg Mono/Poly, and WOW! This thing is a monster! Here, I'm noodling around with the X-Mod and Sync effects, being controlled by MG 1 (switching the waveform between descending ramp and ascending ramp). The mod wheel is switched to VCO 1/Slave VCO, further controlling the tone. Keyboard Assign Mode is Mono/Unison, for a big fat drone. Of course I had to tweak the filter a bi...

Can You Make Good Music With Bad Synths?

Fleshing out a song idea with two loser synths. A Korg Rhythm 55 clocks an Akai Timbre Wolf via gate converter. The Timbre Wolf sequencer plays voice 1, and also plays two parts of the RedSound Dark Star XP2. Timbre Wolf voice 4 and Dark Star part 3 eke out a melody. A 16 note sequence played against the 3/4 time drum box pattern makes for an interesting, Zappa-ish progression.
