And as promised check out the new album from Nachtmahr (AND then I do not mean visually check out LOL!!)
After the last album “Semper Fidelis” (from 2010) and The EP “Can You Feel the Beat?” (Released last year), it is once again time for Thomas Rainer and his uniformed ladies marching delivering a new Nachtmahr album. Austrian Thomas Rainer, who in the second half of the nineties debut with L’ame Imortelle together with (the now-defected) Hannes Medwenitsch and singer Sonja Kraus Hofer, started his solo project Nachtmahr during the mid 2000’s.
After the hit “Boom Boom Boom,” which also was part of the soundtrack to the fourth SAW film, made Nachtmahr official debut with The EP “Kunst ist Krieg” in 2007, followed by the first album, “Feuer Frei!” Was released the following year . “Alle Lust Will Ewigkeit” was released in 2009 and “Semper Fidelis” came two years ago (2010).
On the upcoming album “Veni Vidi Vici”, whose title is taken from Julius Caesar’s alleged exclamation after the victory against Pharnaces II of Pontus in the Battle of Zela 47 f.Kr, continues Thomas Rainer its imperialist crusade through 17 new tracks including two guest appearances signed Skyla Vertex and Xe-None.
In addition to the regular edition in digipak,there is also a “Veni Vidi Vici” in a massive “ELITE edition” (limited to 2000 copies) with in 28 × 28 centimeters book formats including t-shirt. The lavish hardcover book is 72 pages and contains, besides all the lyrics from the album, even erotic art in the true spirit of Nachtmahr highest quality printed on 150 gsm paper. In addition, also included bonusdiscen “Archivum Imperialis” containing six exclusive tracks.
“Veni Vidi Vici” will be released on December 7th via TRISOL Music Group.
Simple Trance with hardware (Juno-60)
A quick tutorial on creating a simple Trance-type arpeggio sound with the Roland Juno-60.
Among the first in Roland’s amazing Juno family! Six analog voices of polyphony and patch memory storage!! The Juno-60 sounds great, however, like the Juno-6 it lacks MIDI control. The Juno-60 includes 56 patches of memory storage. The Juno-60 is still popular due in part to opinions that it sounds better (punchier) than the Juno-106. The Juno-6 and 60 are very rich sounding synthesizers and are great analog machines as long as you can withstand the absence of MIDI control. The JSQ-60 sequencer is an external sequencer controller for the Juno-60 and is usually worth acquiring.

BeatMaker 2 sending MIDI to Sunrizer and MoDrum Clock Syncing
Here is a demo of 3 apps working together on the same iPad. MIDI is being sent from BeatMaker 2 to sunrizer synth for iPad, and MoDrum is Clock Syncing with BeatMaker, to make all of the apps play at the same time. This can be of use if you’re looking to experiment with a drum machine on top of another synth app, for example…

Depeche Mode: TORA! TORA! TORA! MINIMAL COVER ELECTRIBE EMX
Depeche Mode’s classical tune performed with the following gear:

More tunes form Raspberry Pi, check it out:
OK, I cannot tune the latency to any lower than this without totally busting my head, so I’m pushing this particular stack and will move on to how to get sounds of out I2S. Which involves getting my hands on a rev 2 board or 2.

Synthesist Martin Peters performs a hypnotic synth jam
Background info:
It has been a while since I uploaded my last video for obvious and sometimes not so obvious reasons. But last night this dreamy piece came up and I want to share it with you.
The music is dedicated to my beloved girlfriend Anne. On 9/11 we celebrated our second anniversary together. She means everything to me and I hope we can live together for a very long time.
The piece starts with two 8 step sequences from rows 1 and 2 of the Synthesizers.com Q960 sequencer. The 2 rows are manually alternated using the Q962 sequential switch. Row 3 of the Q960 sequencer modulates the Ian Fritz 5Pulser. After that the Nord Wave comes in and then an 8 step sequence from row 2 on the Doepfer MAQ16/3 driving the self build Modular. The Pipe Organ preset from the Korg PE-1000 is used to play the chords. The solo is performed on the Nord Lead 1. Anne used my iPhone 4 to film this video.
You can download/see/hear the video and music from my website.
New video from And One – Aigua
Directed by Adolf Steinhimmel
Make Up & Style by Anna Steinhimmel & Koneko
Camera & Editing: Adolf Steinhimmel
While And One will probably soon announce its departure from SPV to launch the next material on the band’s own label, it also found the time to announce a brand new video: “Aigua”, which is Catalan for ‘water’. The video was directed by Adolf Steinhimmel.
The track does not feature And One’s Steve Naghavi but just guest singer Vivi on vocals. Nice song, nice video.
In Benge’s studio – krell meme 2
Benge let’s know:
So following on from this post, I was digging around on Muffs and saw that the meme had evolved again. Slipperysoles had posted another self-generating Buchla patch, this time based on an idea from Douglas Leedy in 1970. Leedy made an album called Entropical Paradise which explored automata in music, which is documented in the indispensable book Electronic Music by Allen Strange. See the scan I made of the flow chart of Leedy’s original patch. I decided to try and recreate the this on my 200e system, which is itself a evolution of the Buchla 100 Leedy used. There are lots of differences in the modules and functions I had to contend with but I got somewhere close, and as always with the Buchla found something unique along the way
Time machine: Exploring the classic Roland SH-101
A voyage into the heart of the Roland SH-101 from the year 1983. Exploration by Marko Ettlich monophonic analog synthesis 1 VCO I Saw, Square, PWM, Noise Filter – 24dB lowpass step sequencer, arpeggiator It has been used by The Prodigy, 808 State, Apollo 440, Devo, Aphex Twin, Astral Projection, Nitzer Ebb, Chemical Brothers, Boards of Canada and many more.
The SH-101 is very cool, especially for techno, drum&bass and ACID! It’s a monophonic bass synthesizer. Its sound lies somewhere between the TB-303 and a Juno bass sound. It has a lot of simple but cool features. You can control the VCF, pitch, LFO or all from the pitch bender. It has a white noise generator, arpeggiator with up, down and up/down patterns and a simple real-time sequencer. The LFO offers random, sine, square or noise waveforms. And normal or auto portamento effects give you that elastic bass sound. There are external clock inputs for the sequencer and arpeggiator, CV/GATE inputs and outputs and a CV hold pedal.
Unfortunately there is no patch memory storage and although it has no MIDI there are upgrades available for it from many analog service companies that will allow you to incorporate it into any MIDI studio environment. It can also be controlled by MIDI using a CV/MIDI converter. It’s great for bass sounds or bubbly analog effects. They come in three different flavors – gray, blue or red (there was a VERY rare white version too)! It can also be strapped on like a guitar for live performance using the optional Hand Grip.
