Ableton Live Looper effect with the Novation Lauchpad and Live V-drums- Progtronica "Looppool" from Nigel Sifantus on Vimeo.
"This is a quick Progtronica experiment with the cool looper effect in the new version of Ableton Live 8. I'm using the Novation Launchpad to control the looper and layering live drums at 190 bpm. There is also gratuitous use of the Beat-repeat effect here too. Drum n' Bass in yo face. Visit nigelsifantus.com for more information on Progtronica."

Overdubbing naive synthlines on the Yamaha SY-1
YouTube via RothHandle
"A pretty interesting day in the studio...By accident I found the first little thing I recorded with the Tenori on and I decided to a handful overdubs...The day ended on a high note with listening and finishing a mix for Andreas Morland, the song All the time...
This film shows me recording a very naive synthline on the Yamaha SY-1.
This film was shot amy studio Roth-Händle. It is located in Sundbyberg, a suburb to Stockholm.
If you are into this kind of thing...please visit www.roth-handle.nu for more info..."

Plan B Model 15 Complex VCO
via this auction"From EAR Group:
You want fat...well how about OBESE?
The immensely popular Plan B Model 15 is an analog Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) featuring an all-discrete component triangle wave core, two independent fully processed (+/-) VC inputs, a single 1V/Oct input, a dedicated linear FM input, sync, and independent Sine, Triangle, Saw, PWM and Wave Morph Outputs. The VC Wave Morph is a vactrol-based (read: smooth) crossfade function via a manual pot setting or VC control and the morphs from Sine to either Saw or Square wave outputs.
Due to it's triangle core architecture, the sound replicates that of the Buchla 258 with stability better than .01% (less than 4 hertz drift at 1kHz over 24 hours) and boasts a frequency range of 1 to 20Khz and a maximum power consumption of only 40mA.
Various component improvements on the Model 15 core have increased for 1V/oct tracking to seven octaves requiring only single pot adjustments for periodic calibration and none of the hick-ups associated with sawtooth core VCOs past the 3k limit. For imore informaiton of the Model 15's tracking go here (suggesed reading for those requiring wide-range tracking).
The Model 15 has been mechanically redesigned with it's electronics resting parallel to the faceplate, bringing the overall depth from over 4 inches in previous revisions to less than 1 1/8th inches with the Rev. 2.
Why is it called the Model 15 you ask? 2 plus 5 plus 8 = 15. Simple!"

"Another 'quick one' for fun. Even though I thought of putting some solos, drums, percussion and other supporting tracks to this sequence, I thought it was nice as is. This reminds me a little of my peice The Last King (both my version that is here on my You Tube channel and the collaberation version I did with Martin Peters found on the Synthesizers.com Collective 2009 CD)
Thanks to No Doubt for the title! ;-)

We Don't Need No Syncing Bad Jams!
"I was experimenting with the Synth Tech MOTM-650 MIDI-CV converter's arrpegiator sending MIDI clock out to the Moon M553 MIDI2CV converter and syncing up the M569 sequencer etc. It turned into something I wanted to preserve by recording it but, I have another project I really want to get done so I did this one pretty quick. (I was planning on several tracks of Eastern hand drums and full drumset too . . .)
This is the third attempt which was followed by three false starts and then the final take which was the best. Unfortunately I didn't realize that the camera had run out of memory so I only got the first minute of it. :-/ So what you see here is the third attempt with extra bonus mistakes for your viewing amusment! ;-)
Thank you for watching, rating and commenting!"
Something Nice For Your Cat (part 2 re-edit 2010)
"More of the same from part 1 with the lights off! While I think part 1 is 'better' there is a thing or two about part 2 I really like. I had originally uploaded a longer version of part 2 last year but pulled it down quickly because of some really stinky playing. This re-edit gets rid of some, but not all, of the bad parts. Featured are the wonderful sounds of MOTM-300 sine waves passed through MOTM-440 and MOTM-485 filters etc. For more information on MOTM synthesizers go to www.synthtech.com/

Creating swing feel on the Roland MC-4b
YouTube via darenager
"A demonstation of how to create swing on the Roland MC-4, you could also apply the same technique to the MC-202, MC-8 or other similar device, if this video proves popular I may do some more tutorials.
This is not a musical performance just a demonstration of technique so I have kept it to a simple 16 step sequence, of course you can use any length of sequence depending how patient you are.
First set the timebase to 48,12,6, this gives you 48ppqn so each 16th note will last for 12clocks, and enter your notes as normal. in the first part of the clip I am playing the sequence straight - so all step lengths set to 12.
Next we enter step time mode (shift 2) and change each alternate step to an offset of 12 but so that each 2 adjacent steps add up to 24, for example 14 and 10 as in the second example, or 13 and 11 (third example), higher difference = heavier swing feel. You can have the smaller number first or second depending on whether you want a rushed or lazy feel, also you can experiment with more complex timings for different types of groove, such as a pattern of 4 - 14,10,13,11 or whatever, just make sure that your total measure length is equal to 192 so that the sequence cycles correctly when synced. That's pretty much it, hope you find it useful and thanks for watching."
Wiard Noise Ring

"In this 4-minute video, I'm using a Wiard Noise Ring to modulate various parameters of the Blacet Stonz phaser, Blacet Klang Werk ringmod, and Metalbox Bi-N-Tic Filter. There's a lot more you can do with the Noise Ring, but this is the stuff that falls into the instant-gratification category. This Frac Rack system also includes some Bananalogue and MOTM; over on the left is a small Doepfer system that, in this instance, I'm just using for the amplitude envelope and mixer."

Rare Vintage Casio PT-7 Synthesizer Keyboard W BOX
via this auction
"Casio PT-7 (instrument with tiny polyphonic touch sensor keypad & analogue rhythm)
This is clearly one of the most bizarre and innovative instruments created by Casio, because this tiny thing has a detachable keyboard with 29 soft touch foil keys, and this is not just a monophonic toy tablehooter but a real 8 note(!) polyphonic instrument with analogue rhythm and a small but high quality loudspeaker that makes a very respectable organ sound.
This strange Casio invention permits special play techniques with very rapid glissandos and was one of the forgotten milestones in the struggle of overcoming the clumsy piano key relic on electronic consumer instruments.main features:
* 29 tiny soft touch foil keys on a detachable slim line keyboard with short cable
* built-in astonishing reasonable sounding small speaker
* 8 notes polyphony
* separate knobs for main and rhythm volume
* tempo knob
* 6 preset rhythms {waltz, samba, swing, slow rock, pops, rock} selected by a slide switch* 8 OBS preset sounds {piano, elec. piano, organ, pipe organ harp, accordion, clarinet, violin} selected by a 4-step slider + switch
* main voice CPU "HD44140, 3G 13" (56 pin SMD) with timbres based on multipulse squarewave tones with different digital envelopes, those are differently low pass filtered through capacitors. It makes very warm and pleasant timbres, but envelope release phase is truncated too soon, which makes piano- like tones less natural.
* rhythm IC "NEC D8048C 316, 8322X7" (40 pin DIL, same like in Casio MT-40) that outputs trigger pulses for analogue drums
* analogue percussion {base, snare, open cymbal, close cymbal, clave}; cymbals and snare use transistor noise.
* jacks for AC adapter & headphone
eastereggs:
* vibrato and sustain switch addable
* up to 8 additional keys addable (makes no sense here)
* holding down multiple sound select buttons during play makes wild cacophonic sounds (likely keyboard matrix mess by missing diodes).
* possibly bass accompaniment (with additional keypad) addable
* rhythm shitshot button addable
notes:
The main voice sound chip of this instrument is the same like in the Casio MT-45. It plays high quality analogue timbres, those although not always natural, reproduce a warm and pleasant sound; it does not sound typically C64- like thin, but resembles rather full- size home organs of that era. Like with Casio VL-1, the release phase of main voice envelopes seems to be linear and thus sounds unrealistic since it fades silent too soon with an audible end click. When sustain is switched off, all sounds stop almost immediately after releasing the key. When sustain is on, sounds with decay envelope (piano, elec. piano, harp) ignore the key press duration and sound always with a fixed duration instead. The "elec. piano" sounds like a banjo, and also the normal piano resembles more a picked string. The "harp" and "organ" sounds seem to add a bit of analogue distortion (or a mixed suboscillator with very short independent envelope??) during attack phase. All sounds include a mild vibrato. The smooth touch sensor keypad responds quite sensitive and permits special play techniques with rapid note clusters and polyphonic glissandos (but no portamento - this is not a theremin!).
Attention: Never play with sharp, spiky or rough objects (like finger nails) on the sensor keyboard surface - the foil may get damaged easily.)."
