Synth Performance - Newueel - Korg Monofive

Another amazing video from Newueel. This person really know how to use his synths. With a very "basic" set-up he always make really great music. And don't get me wrong , when I said basic set-up I mean that he works with only 3 (great) monophonic synths and one (great) sequencer with all the limitations that this involves.

Korg Monofive



Text from the video :
  • - 1 analogue sequencer (SQ-10)
    - 3 analogue synthesizers (MS-50 + 2x MS-20)
    - 5 different sound circuits

    That's why I called this one: Korg Monofive

    This vid is recorded in one take, no cuts and no edited sounds (although the video is edited :-) . All sounds are coming (live!) from the gear as shown in the vid and described below.

    Most of my actions are explained in the vid, but in case you are interested, below you'll find a more detailed analysis of the 5 different sounds/circuits/outputs:

    1:) MS-20 (right) white noise filtered by the MS-20 ESP bandpass filter, triggered every 17th step (out of 64 steps). This sound uses just a little bit of a phaser effect from the mixer.

    2:) MS-20 (left) white noise also filtered by the ESP bandpass filter and the MS-20 HP + LP filters. The sound is triggered only every first step (out of 64 steps). The HP + LP filters use high peak values. They are modulated by the MS-50 modulation generator (LFO) which speed/frequency is changing continuously, controlled by random values coming from pink noise + sample & hold + integrator (for smooth transitions). This provides a unique sound every 64 steps. Each sound is repeated a number of times every 16 steps by the BPM delay (Kaoss Pad). This way each 'random' sound is hearable 4 times, before it changes to the next 'random' sound.

    3:) MS-50 white noise basically for hi hat purposes, but also used for subtle ambient noise adds. The sound uses two envelopes for different purposes. The MS-50 EG2 envelope is (also used for the MS-50 drum sound) is reused. This envelope is triggered each step and is used as volume envelope. Because we don't want a hi hat sound each step, this envelope is controlled by another envelope using a VCA. By default the second envelope is MS-20 EG1, which is triggered each first step (out of 64 steps). The envelope has a long delay time, so it is hearable around the 15th step only for a short time. By changing the patch, the secondary envelope is switched to MS-50 EG1, which is triggered every 3th and 7th step (out of 8 steps) so it functions like a hi hat. This envelope offers a nice extra feature, because by increasing the MS-50 EG1 release time, it 'passes through' more hi hat steps, which is very useful for creating fills.

    4:) The MS-50 plays a 16-step drum groove. The pitch of the drum sound can be tuned for each step indepently using SQ-10 channel A+B steps 1-8. A step can also be 'disabled' by tuning it out of range. This makes it possible to create more complex drum grooves and it allows you to create fills on the fly.

    5:) The MS-20 (right) plays an 8-step bass line, triggered each step, pitch controlled by SQ-10 channel C. This sound is also uses the Kaoss Pad BPM delay.

    Enjoy!!

Synthesizer Performance - Spectralis 2


Spectralis: Stepsequencer performance



Text from the video :
  • This demonstration shows the realtime access to the step sequencer during a live performance. I change the playback direction, skip notes, enter new notes and other things while performing.
    I am also showing the live mixing of parts and FX editing. The session is captured directly from the sum outputs of the Spectralis 2 and I have not used any external FXs or EQs to get that sound. But I did a new sampleset for this demo. This sampleset includes drumsounds with reverbration. So - all the reverb effects are from the samples. Detuning the samples gives some nice sounding FXs. I will upload that sampleset to the Radikal website soon.

    PS1: And by the way - please insert the missing "t" in the word "Start" at the beginning of this performance. I saw that directly after uploading the video...
    PS2: I checked the audio quality after uploading the demo and must say, that the bass sounds horrible after conversion. Hopefully, it sounds better in HD setting.

Synthesizer Performance - mik300z - voyager

Another great song ( and video ) by mik300z

voyager



Text from the video :
  • A track I put together a few months back. Wasn't quite happy at the time, but I quite like it now, tweaked it a little bit and put together a video using old footage, so excuse the usual "he's not playing it" parts! Also threw in my cd front and back cover which I hope to have finished soon. Been spending very little time in the studio this summer (too hot!) Some of the patches are from the CS80v I was experimenting with with . Thanks again to all you people who subscribe ,support and inspire my youtube channel! :)

Thalasa - Doctor Who Theme Cover

I always liked this theme, it brings me good memories from the eighties when I used to watch this serial, so I decided to make my own version based on the original theme ( this theme was remixed and re-recorded several times along the years ) . The original tune was created on the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.


Thalasa - Doctor Who Theme Cover



Text from the video :
  • This is my version of this classic theme from the sixties. I've tried to keep the original feeling using long reverbs , slap echoes ... All the sounds come from my modular synthesizer and they were multi-track recorded. No other synths were used.

Synthesizer Performance - The [Law-Rah] Collective

Drone sounds from The [Law-Rah] Collective. It's amazing how the speeded-up video fits perfectly with the atmospheric soundtrack.

Train to Utrecht - The [Law-Rah] Collective



Text from the video :
  • The [Law-Rah] Collective creates heavy atmospheres with self built analog synthesizers that are quite soothing, yet somehow foreboding at the same instance. At other times, the collective uses more intense noise based electronic sounds creating increasingly aggressive tracks that are still quite easy to become absorbed by...
