DAYS - Ambient Modular #5 // Arbhar, Analog Four mkii, Take 5

video upload by David Falcon

"Hoy he probado algo que quería desde que adquirí el Arbhar y es usar el modo Follow para hacer timestretch de los samples. Para ello he sampleado en el Arbhar una grabación que tenía en un dictáfono de una guitarra acústica.
No he podido resistirme y he añadido un lead con el Take 5, con un preset que creo es mi favorito de los que trae de fábrica, un bandpass lead.
Durante la grabación inicial utilicé una linea de bajo en el Analog Four pero en la fase de mezcla la notaba muy poco presente por lo que la doblé con el Take 5.
Muy contento con el resultado, espero que os guste.
David.

Today I tried something that I have wanted since I acquired the Arbhar and that is to use the Follow mode to timestretch the samples. For this I have sampled in the Arbhar a recording that I had on a dictaphone of an acoustic guitar.
I couldn't resist and added a lead with the Take 5, with a preset that I think is my favorite of the ones that come from the factory, a bandpass lead.
During the initial recording I used a bass line on the Analog Four but in the mixing phase it wasn't present enough so I doubled it with the Take 5.
Very happy with the result, I hope you like it.

Sediments - An hymn about what it falls by itself (Digitone 2 + Peak + 0-coast + Boum)

video upload by Music4screens

"After few weeks working on how to keep the inspiration alive, I've recovered some pieces I know they work with me and here is the result of just about 2 hours of setup, sound design and playing.
Sediment is the name of a great Digitone 2 patch from ‪@substan_music‬ which inspired me to make this conjunction of sounds and melodies that fall by themselves in a natural and not expected way.
Novation Peak and MakeNoise 0-coast make the rest of interesting bells and bloops, processed by OTO Boum as 0-coast filter, all recorded in Ableton through Digitone 2 class compliant mode and its built in FX.
Peak is an incredible machine, very flexible and fully capable and 0-coast a board to experiment with.

Hope you enjoyed listening to like me making it."

The Delay you can Play // Echolocator

video upload by Starsky Carr

"It invites you to play and tweak and is so controllable with so many options for sound design that Erica Synths Echolocator draws you in and opens up a world of infinite tones. ... watch the intro and you'll get what I'm on about :)

So.. this is my demo and review of the Echolocator - I'm really enjoying it. I think its the way its been designed for ultra controllability of the delay chain. Hold that filter, add some feedback, bring in some shimmer, drop the cutoff, add some gentle modulation. .. and before you know it you;'re 10 minutes in."

"UNIT IS FOR SALE:
https://reverb.com/item/89181075
https://www.ebay.com/itm/306255320490

I've serviced several Wilgamat and I noticed that sometimes you can miss some minor issues in an otherwise working unit, mainly in the bass accompaniement arpeggios: missing notes, wrong pitched notes, double trigger notes... These issues (as most of the issues in this instruments) are caused by faulty CMOS chipsets. These are cheap and easy to replace. Issue can however be in the AY-1-1313 chipsets (Priority Latching Network chipset) and these are harder to find.

Here you can listen to a fullly working and proper sounding unit and compare it to yours. Pay particular attention to the bass part, especially in "walking bass" mode. If one or more patterns do not sound like these then you have some faulty chipsets somewhere.

There is a non intended use of these unit I like: when playing in "key" start mode with lowest tempo, you can use this unit as a simple bass or synth keyboard.

Depending on the pattern selected you don't get the same result. With a little pratice it can turn as a nice simple bass keyboard.

Also note the bass section only spans over 1 octave whereas the accompanient sections spans over 2."

Ana Modulation Multiplier

video upload by Mystic Circuits

"Another quick patch showing off Ana's many capabilities. This patch shows how to use Ana to turn a single modulation source into multiple modulation signals and control your entire patch with the turn of a knob. Ana is incredible for feedback patching and unlocking the full potential of modules that provide their own modulation signals for self-patching.

This is a much longer demo because I have been having a lot of fun with this module combo as I have been beta testing the Entropic Loops Grackle, an innovative phase modulation oscillator from a new company that is a collaboration of Naomi from Omi Industries and genius programmer Eris. If you would like to know more about this module there will be some information posted to their website soon:

These are CRAZY! ALL of the hidden waveforms on the Ensoniq ESQ-1

video upload by CGMAGIK

"I got the EPROM for the ESQ-1 that enables you to access the hidden waveforms 33-255. A small handful of them are pretty normal sounding, but the majority are really quite amazingly insane. It's like a broken ATARI 2600 or something. It gives the Ensoniq a strange 8-bit game console sampler kind of vibe. I'm looking forward to making some interesting and unique patches using some of these.

Watch at your own risk. Haha. It's an epic journey through some not very chill and friendly sounds."

Whispers of magic where circuits breathe deep.

A hidden voice rises from circuits deep,
