I thought the thing with VHS head was all the sounds came from VHS tapes, rather than the other way around...?

Tried to be as inoffensive as possible without being milquetoast. HiFi VHS bounce was not a real threat. I did fish out my old KLH 1/4" deck I was going to slap it on to but she didn't take kindly to sitting in storage, so that was out.

Here's a folder with preset-standard encoded MP3s in order.

If y'all aren't reverbing in stereo you're doing something wrong.

Some mono verbs are good: springs and (sometimes) plates. I can think of times when I might also reverb one part rather than a buss in mono.

Why do some (cool and good) people write "bus" correctly, and others write "buss", which is clearly wrong and incorrect and feels like something they'd want to retcon into being sort-of-torturedly justified when it really, really isn't?

i did music tech at school & that's what we were taught (also in our books), so i absorbed it & i never thought about it; but you're right & i'm wrong and now i feel shame.

Thanks v much; lots of useful info there. There's one thing thats edging me towards the Analog Keys at the mo and that's the studio will be, in less than 6 months, taken over entirely as a bedroom (At the moment it's half & half: cot & changing table / synths) and I'm likely going to have to downsize to 1 synth, my MD and a tape deck somewhere else in the house. I know a lot of people rate the Pro 2 almost as a centrepiece of a set-up with its CV control but despite it sounding far superior to the Pro 2 I'm not sure if it'd work covering all the synthy bases. If only the Pro2 engine was inside an AK sequencer set-up...

Is there anything else I'm missing that'd pair really well with an Elektron MD that's A4/AK-like?

At least my daughter & I have a few months to enjoy the nursery/studio combined space...

Hell yeah. I kinda want the physical thing, but just my initial search seems like it may be hard to get one that isn't a bit dodgy.

I really like the VST. It must be about 10 years old now but Korg nailed it and the M1 and tbqh seeing as both are digital synths anyway it doesn't seem to me like you're losing much by having them inside a computer. There's a lot of WS on this ep; it's def a unique synth.

Your Computer posted:

How do you even use it, though? Apart from using the presets, I've had no luck in even trying to just pick out a single sound (the presets are usually a lot of sounds layered) because the UI is so difficult to use :(

I think they're about the same (M1 & WS). It looks more painful than it is:



The heirarchy is preset->perform.->part/patch, where each of the last has a max of four waveforms [in the case above: FollowMe, EPIANO_3, 2x Airvox], and the mix of those sounds as you move the stick is determined by the matrix to the right; and that movement can be automated. Probably the easiest thing to do starting off is find a patch with one performance and limited parts and start fiddling. The pads will probably be hella complicated; so maybe try a bell sound? I'm not in the studio at the mo but will be able to help more later on if you like...

i've only had an evening to play around with it so far, and christ it's going to take a lot of learning - but, it does feel almost 'alive'; i don't think i've played any electronic instrument quite like it. I did this last night with the DPO, Phonogene (with a sample of birdsong I SOSed off of the Macauley Library) and the Echophon.

I can't say for sure it's very good for constructing songs, but it's always great as a musical version of a (very expensive) zen garden; you'll also get used to the fun of not wanting to unpatch things because it's sounding just right, or the pain of "It sounded so perfect, WHAT DID I CHANGE" and never finding it again. Just remember to let it go...

Yeh i realised this pretty quickly last night when i suddenly thought "oh, that was good, now... to get back to that i just... oh...". So i moved it next to the tape recorder and am capturing everything. & there's something about that I like.

Fire Emblem, a 2003 Gameboy Advance Game from Nintendo and Intelligent Systems, features a collection of heavily armored warriors engaging in combat to save their fantastical world from the forces of evil. Cut scenes between combat events are utilized to progress the story. Up to four characters are presented on screen from the chest up, in traditional role-playing game style as text bubbles appear above the one currently speaking. During these scenes, characters will blink intermittently. These blinking events are the driving force behind the Eyes modules.

A hour long portion of the game was recorded using screen capture software. Processing was then used to count the milliseconds between each character's blinks to produce a data table. This data table was then uploaded as firmware to the Eyes module's microcontroller. The blinking LEDs are are perfect copies of the original blinks of the game's characters."

i dunno if I'm going to be a lone voice here but I think the 202 and Buchla Easel albums Cortini put out are some of the hollowest, most talentless and thoroughly flaccid examples of any music I've heard in the last decade; i'm completely perplexed as to why he has such a fanbase

Scatterfold
Nov 4, 2008


The Cleaner posted:

Fixed that for you.

Perhaps so :wal:

I think the two issues I have with those albums (and what I've heard of the 303 one) is that, no matter which instrument he uses, the output is always the same: a series of arpeggios, in a sound without much textural interest. On the one hand he's obviously totally in control of the instrument: he's making the music he wants to make, even if that's decidedly Kraut-y sounds from the original East Coast plinkyplonky machine.

On the other hand it reminds me of composers who don't understand the instrument they're writing for. Like John Adams; obviously a very skilled guy, but if you're in an orchestra and playing one of his parts - whether its a picollo part, or a percussion one, or 2nd violin it's all clearly been written at a keyboard. They're all keyboard parts. And they don't work with the instrument, instead forcing it to play a similar role. He doesn't think "oh this bit would be best orchestrated with a flute"; he thinks "oh I need loud here so I'm going to boost the same part with the flute/strings/percussion, whichever". Phil Glass is the same; even worse perhaps.

And its the same for Cortini. He's not "playing" a Buchla. He's using a Buchla to play something which could be played on pretty much anything; especially when it's been sent through the same layers of tape hiss, wow and flutter, etc as the 202, or 303. But at the same time he's using the fetishisation of Buchla, and 303s, almost as advertising. Hence why I found it all so hollow.

That all said if you enjoy it; you enjoy it. And that can't be analysed or criticised. I'm not going to tell anyone they're wrong for liking it.
