Short Improvisation with my New Setup


YouTube via yakthekyle
"This is an short improvisation using my auto-matrix mixer and my new "event generator." I will be performing with this rig on Tuesday, August 25th at Super Happy Fun Land,
( http://www.superhappyfunland.com/ ) a performance venue in Houston. Doors open at 8pm, please come if you can! I plan on continuing to perform with the rig for a while, or until I add something new to it. The event generator (my newest) is similar to a sampler but with more complexities; it works with multiple types of synthesis (additive, granular, and FM) as well as sampled materials and effects (delays and ring mod). Envelope time is controlled my a turn of a knob making it a very versatile instrument for both quick events or long drones. And like most of my work, algorithms and aleatoric composition are involved to keep things interesting.

I have some stills of my patches uploaded and more info at http://yaktronix.blogspot.com/

Circles 2009

Circles 2009 from Travis Thatcher on Vimeo.


"A project I did for the Mint Gallery's Mixtape art show in Atlanta next Saturday. Arduino + Waveshield + simple audio amp guts. The main idea is that of the mandala and relating it to the circle of 5ths (the drones are 2 min long, and follow the circle). I used my home-built serge modular clone and Roland Space Echo to produce all sounds. Its nerdy, but quite relaxing!"

The next step: Moog introduces The Moog Guitar Model E1

Synth Content: On-board Moog Filter, CV input, and it's MOOG!
"ASHEVILLE, N.C. (August 18, 2009) - Since its introduction at the Summer NAMM tradeshow in 2008, the Moog Guitar has received numerous industry honors including Guitar Player Magazine's 2009 Reader's Choice Award, Electronic Musician Magazine's 2009 Editor's Choice Award, 2008 Summer NAMM "Best In Show" honors, a 2008 “Best of What’s New Award” from Popular Science magazine and a 2009 Mix Foundation TEC Award nomination. More importantly, it has inspired players to new creative heights, and opened the door to totally new forms of expression with a guitar.

Introducing the next step in the evolution of The Moog Guitar: The Model E1.

The Model E1 is the production model of The Moog Guitar. It uses the same innovative electronics and pick-ups as the original Paul Vo Collector Edition, with some exciting new changes. It’s available in three new finishes; Butterscotch, Candy Red and Black, and now sports chrome hardware, a solid alder body, a choice of fixed or tremolo bridges and a new lower price tag, $3,495.

"One of the most inspiring aspects of producing The Moog Guitar has been hearing from guitarists who have been creatively reinvigorated by it." said Mike Adams, Moog Music President. "When someone plays it for the first time, you can almost see new musical ideas forming in their head."

The Model E1 provides an incredibly intimate playing experience that connects musicians directly to the source of the sound; the strings of the guitar. It does this by controlling the way the strings vibrate. In a very coherent way, the Model E1 gives energy to, and takes energy away from the strings. The resulting timbres do not rely on effects or post-processing. They are created directly from the strings.

“To me, touching the strings, being able to directly manipulate the very source of sound is fundamental to the nature of the guitar and to the spirit of playing it.” said Moog Guitar inventor, Paul Vo. “The E1’s controls just set the background mode - the control system characteristics. The strings are always your main user interface. The idea was never to make the guitar sound like anything else - it was to excite the instrument with controlled electronics to bring out hidden aspects of the instrument’s own natural character.”

This give and take of energy creates the Model E1’s unique playing modes. FULL SUSTAIN clearly and powerfully sustains all six strings anywhere on the neck. In MUTE MODE the pickups remove energy from the strings, resulting in short, staccato timbres. The guitar actually feels different in this mode. In CONTROLLED SUSTAIN MODE the Model E1 sustains the strings being played, while removing energy from the strings that aren’t, resulting in fluid sustained lead lines.

Since the Model E1 has the ability to add and remove energy simultaneously, it has unprecedented control over the harmonics on the vibrating string. With HARMONIC BLENDS, one pick-up sustains the strings while the other attempts to mute them. Using the supplied Control Pedal, guitarists can move the energy back and forth between the pickups resulting in natural, shifting harmonics, directly from the strings.

Combine all this with the on-board Moog Filter, additional piezo pickups and Control Voltage input and you’ve got an instrument to fuel a lifetime of sonic exploration.

Dave Smith Instruments "TETRA" Synthesizer Review Pt. 1


YouTube via djthomaswhite
"Here is my two part review of the new Tetra Synthesizer by Dave Smith Instruments. This is intended as an overview of the sounds and features of the synthesizer, with a small narrative about the over complex expectations of today's synthesizer enthusiasts that sometimes push the fringe of synthesizer elitists. Treat it like an editorial, take it or leave it. I love this powerful little synthesizer and have had more time to play with it since making this video footage last week. I hope you enjoy the sounds, and at $800 for a 4 voice true analog synth, you can't go wrong. Want more knobs? Use the editor and one of your multiple MIDI controllers.

Thanks for stopping by! Check out www.davesmithinstruments.com for more information on the Tetra and the other Dave Smith instruments."

"This is loaded with 13 modules and includes a keyboard controller. Similar in design to the Aries, Serge, Buchla and Moog synths of the 60s and 70s. Electronotes is well known as one of the main source of information on analog synth and circuit design since 1972. Schematics and design notes are still available from http://electronotes.netfirms.com/

This synth includes 1 DC coupled mixer, 1 VCF, 2 envelope generators, 1 VCA, 1 sample hold, 3 VCOs, 1 keyboard interface, 1 noise/random voltage, 1 white noise, 1 power supply. The power supply is heavy duty with +15, -15, +5 volts, and ground. It has patch points for powering external modules as well. The oscillators and keyboard work on 1volt per octave so this is compatible with many different types of modules and brands."
