Make Noise DPO Dual Prismatic Oscillator Video

Make Noise DPO Dual Prismatic Oscillator. Wave forms and simple sequence. from joseph raglani on Vimeo.

Here's a demo for the Wigglers out there who demand it. The new Make Noise Dual Prismatic Oscillator.
Disclaimer: I'm functioning on about three hours restless sleep. UPS man knocked on my door surprisingly early and well... I couldn't bring myself to go back to bed.
What we have here is a quick demo showing the raw wave forms from both sections of the DPO. Then some tweaking of the knobs and the modes. Then I use the Make Noise Pressure Points/Brains combo to construct a very simple sequence. Only other modules in use are the Make Noise Optomix (Low Pass Gate) and a mixer. There is some wave folding and FM modulation going on during the sequence. I hope it's pretty self-explanatory. I will be doing a proper tutorial when I've had time to spend with the DPO and hopefully borrow a nice HD camera. Until then enjoy!

Another quick demo of the DPO densely patched this time. A lot of control coming from the Doepfer A-149 Source Of Uncertainty module. Sequence is being done by Make Noise Rene.

Same patch as the last video but I think this one sounds better.

Making an album pt.1 "Girl Dot You". from joseph raglani on Vimeo.

"Decided to chronicle the making of the follow up to Of Sirens Born. We'll see if I can keep it up. I'm just in the demo stage and getting some ideas down. What you see here is all played live (well with a few sequencers). I've found that long hair and funny hats help with this process.
I'm playing a Dave Smith Mopho keybord with a Tetra in tow. Doepfer A-100, Synthi-R, Moog Voyager Old School (sequenced by the MFB Step64) and the Tip Top Audio Z8000 is doing some modulation sequencing. Left hand is playing the melodic part, right hand is tweaking. I only say that because it's a little hard to see what's going on from this angle. Recorded Dec 6th, 2010."

New Make Noise Dual Prismatic Oscillator (DPO) Video & Audio Demos

Make Noise DPO Dual Prismatic Oscillator. Sequenced by Modcan Touch Sequencer. from joseph raglani on Vimeo.

I wanted to make a short clip of a patch I made for tour using the Modcan touch sequencer to control the Make Noise DPO before I send the module back to Make Noise for final tweaking. I'm using a single gate signal from the Modcan TS to trigger both channels of the the Make Noise Maths module. The Maths is controlling the Optomixes. Modemix is also being used in a similar fashion. The other outputs from the DPO are patched in a dual ringmod configuration output into a second Optomix. Adjusting the Maths to shape the envelopes and mix control signals. Channel 1 and 2 of the Modcan TS are going into 1vt/oct of Osc 1 and 2 of the DPO. Channel 3 of the TS into the Fold input and channel 4 of the TS into the shape input.

Kevin Harris encounters the Make Noise DPO

Kevin Harris encounters the Make Noise DPO (Dual Prismatic Oscillator) part 1. from joseph raglani on Vimeo.

"Fellow Saint Louis modular Synthesizer guy Kevin Harris came over to check out and help demo the Make Noise Dual Prismatic Oscillator. We got about an hour of footage but sadly my trusty old Sony DV camera is on the fritz. So I was only able to capture this tiny bit of video. You'll notice some digital artifacts and volume drops, these are the camera not the original audio. I'll work on getting it cleaned so I can present the rest of the demos."

First patch with Make Noise Function Module. Hold function.

First patch with Make Noise Function Module. Hold function. from joseph raglani on Vimeo.

"Shaky phone camera footage of the first patch I did with the new Make Noise Function module. I'm exploring the "hold" function. I have one channel of the Maths going into the "hold" input while in cycle mode. The Maths channel is cycling at a slower rate than the Function cycle. You can hear the "pause" when the Maths channel hits the Function cycle. I have the Positive output multiplied to both the Optomix (VCA) input and DPO (Osc) 1vlt/oct input. I have the inverted output plugged into the fold..then FM Bus inputs. Adjusting the rise and fall of both the Function and Maths results in some nice crazy sounds. Better quality video to follow."

Update:


Second patch: Make Noise Function module. Hang function. from joseph raglani on Vimeo.
This patch is a simple sequence in which a clock signal is divided by two and input into the Function modules "Hang" feature creating interesting rhythmic patterns.

Thomas Lehn and John Bucther Live - EMS Synthi & Sax

Thomas Lehn and John Bucther Live in Saint Louis, MO. June 8th 2012. Part 1. from joseph raglani on Vimeo.

Herding Cats Collective Of Saint Louis brought in the stellar duo of Thomas Lehn (EMS Synthi) and John Butcher (Sax) to the Kerr Foundation. I just caught about the first quarter of the performance. Things got very intense.

Make Noise Function. Double Duty. Clock and envelope. from joseph raglani on Vimeo.

"Make Noise Function is clocking both the Rene and Brains/Pressure Points. End of Rise and End of cycle are going into the X and Y gate input of the Rene. Function is in cycle mode. Positive output is going to Optomix. Maths is controlling the rise and fall of the Function. A quantized random output is also going into the "both" input. You can see basic enveloping going on at the beginning and end of the video."

Short edited demo of the integration of the Modcan Touch sequencer into my modular synthesizer system. 4 voices in 3 sequences that constitute a "song" in TS terms. Make Noise Rene controls wave shape and pitch of the low end pulse/4th voice of the Wiard Malekko Anti Osc.
