Trogotronic Noise (Trogotronic model 676 & Teenage Engineering OP-1)

September 9, 2012 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on Trogotronic Noise (Trogotronic model 676 & Teenage Engineering OP-1) 

All sounds (including drums, percussions etc.) made with Trogotronic Model 676 Fury M Series and sampled, edited & arranged with Teenage Engineering OP-1. Voice with Qneo Voice Synth on iPhone (thru Trogotronic 676) Mixdown & some edits in Logic Pro.

Like any Trogotronic worth its salt the 676 Fury’s functions are not conservative… Meaning, while there are two Main Oscillators, other parts of the circuit can command more complicated frequencies in an intuitive manner. Similarly the Main Oscillators themselves may be applied as filters serving to broaden the utility of the instrument even more so. With regard to BOTH mayhem AND stability 676 Fury’s switch settings offer different parameter reactions: Toggles “down” Oscillators & Track navigate pitch black F-5 electron turbulence; Switched “up” same controls “play nice” in crimson livery with accordance to classical form.

The sound? Curiously akin to R. Lee Ermey switching on the kilowatt floods & screaming through an Orange Full-stack set to “11” first thing the morning after an all-night gin bender; i.e. relentless punishment applied to all head-holes within audio range. Add to this the inclusion of 5 CV inputs compatible with sequencers, envelopes etc. and this little box may well become a classic in its own right; “May the Gods save us from this menace; girls and mothers—dress our Fury now in blood-red robes!”

I’m not shure about the sound because I’m not at home & had to mix the track on some cheep iPhone earbuds :(

Okay – I did this track just 4 fun, messing around with this sick module, thinking the guys from Togotronic still don’t know what it’s doing – I don’t know that too 😀

So let’s go noise!

    • All Analog Circuit
    • 2 Main-Oscillators 
    • 2 Amplifiers
    • 2 Unique Filter/FX parameters (Drive & Modulation) 
    • Input for use with other audio elements
    • 5 Modular compatible CV inputs for patchable parameter control 
    • 1 Medium Frequency Control Oscillator: Track
    • 3 Stabilizer Switches (on for stability, off for mayhem) 
    • Slovakian Max. Gain, Twin-Triode Vacuum Tube run at high voltage

Rebel Technologies Stoixeia demo

September 9, 2012 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on Rebel Technologies Stoixeia demo 

Zoë Blade was lucky enough to be treated to a demo of Rebel Technologies’ Stoixeia at the Brighton Mini Maker Faire 2012.

Στοιχεῖα is a dual Euclidean Sequencer. It algorithmically generates rhythmic sequences from an input trigger signal. The name (Στοιχεῖα, Stoicheia, or Elements) comes from the title of Euclid’s book Elements in which the algorithm was first described.

Lysets lyd (sound of light) – featuring Audio Cubes

Control software by Nick Rothwell [cassiel] – cassiel.com

Kim Pedersen & Nick Rothwell made this interactive sound installation using Percussa AudioCubes. For this project, using the AudioCubes was more efficient than developing the installation from scratch using low level tools. The AudioCubes can sense distances and detect each other’s position and location in a network. And you can build a network of cubes, consisting of 16 AudioCubes per USB connection.

Weekend synth jam – featuring Fender and Moog

September 9, 2012 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on Weekend synth jam – featuring Fender and Moog 

Background information from Rheyne:

Download or stream the audio at SoundCloud: http://snd.sc/JOvWMs

A live looping improv jam with a Fender Rhodes, Moog Prodigy, and an Akai MPD26 controlling a custom kit in NI’s Kontakt. An iPod Touch is controlling the reverb mix on the Rhodes through Lemur, and the first loop from the Rhodes is recorded in Ableton’s looper controlled by a MIDI Fighter 3D. A Novation Launchpad is controlling the recording and playback of loops in Ableton Live. An MXR Wylde Overdrive is connected to the Rhodes. All audio is passed through a PreSonus 1818VSL connected to a Macbook Pro running Ableton Live.

All loops are recorded live.

Synare and WerkBench wake up the neighbors!

September 8, 2012 · Posted in Uncategorized · Comments Off on Synare and WerkBench wake up the neighbors! 

WerkBench is available for the iPad in the app store: http://bit.ly/L6jhd9

Here we are using WerkBench to make a groove using sounds from a late-1970’s analog drum synth known as the Synare 3.

The Star Instruments Synare is most famous for its use on disco records as a simple ‘tom-tom’ sound (the first sound I play in this video). Despite its cheesy historical use, the Synare actually a beastly little analog synth with two oscillators (with noise and LFO modes respectively), a self oscilating low-pass filter, and envelopes for filter and volume. I only scratch the surface in this video.

WerkBench is a tool for crafting rhythmic loops from any source material in real-time. WerkBench is great for grabbing sounds on the fly from analog synths that lack patch memory (like the Synare, Monotron, or any modular rig).

Modules:

  • MIDI/cv
  • vco type 1 (2)
  • vco type 2
  • vco link (sync/Xmod)
  • mixer (with noise gen)
  • envelope type 1 (2)
  • vca type 1
  • filter type 1
  • filter type 2
