To be fair, the sequencer on the A4 is great, I just would want that as the main sequencer all around.

That's why Audio Damage copied it and is releasing it for EuroRack with all of the A4 sequencer's features and more: http://www.analogindustries.com/b1873/The+New+poo poo/

Seemingly relevant to folks here: An IndieGoGo project that just barely made their goal awhile back seems to have actually released their intended album---said album being largely wrought from synths both vintage and/or ludicrously expensive/rare(I think nearly every single one in the Equipment infographic has had the requisite lust/hate thrown at it here in the thread) in the spirit of Blade Runner.

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/moments-lost#home

Pretty sure they'd have met their stretch goals if only they'd thought to have a nice cat or 2 captioned there into the gear pic...

Based on the little sampler tune in the recent updates---seems like it turned out to be pretty swell.

Thanks a lot, now I just spent all night with a brass patch and some reverb.

Saw him ---^ (AtomTM) live in Boulder, Co. That dude is amazing. Nothing but him, 2 video screens and an MPC 3000. One of the video screens was displaying the MPC's VGA output, so it was almost like watching live coding. Senor Coconut is some great poo poo as well.

Definitely - I've already written a thing to sort-of emulate this Jim O'Rourke track which almost certainly uses SC - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsZD-MBRMU0 - which was kinda the reason I wanted to jump in.

Hmmph, I didn't know Jim O'Rourke was into SC. Huge Sonic Youth fan, but I've not explored any of his other work until hearing that track above, which I dig.

I've not played with Supercollider directly, only through Overtone. Overtone is fun because it's Clojure which supports functional programming and multi-threading, which are things I play with at my day job, but musical.

Lately I've been playing with sample buffers in Max/MSP and ChucK. The sounds that can be made by resizing a sample buffer, going from a loop to a single hit to grains.

I'd be curious to hear what sort of techniques you used to emulate that O'Rourke track.

Ahhh, haven't touched Clojure - I've mostly found SuperCollider pretty simple so far because it's quite Ruby-ish and my day job is Ruby web development.

For the O'Rourke stuff, I haven't quite gone far enough yet - here's a screenshot of what I was playing around with a couple of days ago:



It very very badly needs refactoring and I am itching to improve it, haven't yet found the time! Thinking about storing random samples from the buffer, storing it in a pattern and looping that. I dunno. My mind gets ahead of my skill, which is both good and bad I suppose.

I'd love a dedicated SuperCollider thread (sorry to the analog purists in here) but I guess there aren't enough of us!

Edit: that wchoose in the image is broken. Didn't save after I fixed it oops

Cool stuff thanks. Sup fellow Ruby buddy. I'm currently writing distributed systems using Celluloid and JRuby, fun stuff!

I wouldn't recommend a dedicated SC thread, but maybe an SC, Overtone, PD, Max/MSP, ChucK, STK and other music programming thread. I know that the Max/MSP thread recently got eaten up by archives, and it had posts every so often.

KORG volca sample, sampling SDK released as open source:

Anyone know of any similar bands to Kraftwerk, what with the all-electronic, kinda minimal approach? I honestly have no idea what to even search for, it's something I've always been interested in but never really.. found. The quirky kind of "futuristic" bleeps and bloops but with a melody. Last.FM, Spotify and Wikipedia has failed me and I don't know where else to look. The less vocals the better (vocoders allowed.) It's the kind of music I wanted to make when I got into synthesizers, it's certainly got a special place in my heart...but I only just remembered because of bonerjamz :downs:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_School_of_electronic_music
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%BCsseldorf_School_of_electronic_music

Then continued in early Detroit techno. The early Warp Records stuff feels like a continuation of this. Things like Bochum Welt, early Aphex Twin/Polygon Window, Autechre, and everything else in the Artificial Intelligence series: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence_%28series%29

Also, definitely check out Yellow Magic Orchestra for Japan's take on it.

DCO's apparently get a reset pulse every so often to get their pitch in line.

You can still have patch memory with a VCO, with the same potential for drifting as a VCO, so long as you aren't constantly fixing the pitch.

so with those modular sequencers with all the switches and stuff what determines the pitch of a step? I can't really get my head around these things

A knob allows you to select a voltage per step. There are usually multiple voltages per step. One of those can be pitch.

The ESQ-1's lack of real time parameters editing is annoying and definitely not the way any of my other synths work.

Other synths, I can send realtime MIDI data(or use the menu/knobs) to change the osc waveforms, osc pitch and filters, and hear realtime feedback on a single note/drone. On the ESQ-1, you have to retrigger the note to hear a change. You can get realtime feedback with the filter on the ESQ-1, if you map it to the MOD-wheel, however. Sadly they don't allow you to map all of the parameters to the modulation wheel. I believe that their split/voice stealing implementation is what causes this.

Right, but I want be able to play a patch live, using any of the controls. I should be able to push up the resonance on different parts of the note, every time I trigger it without setting some kind of random envelope. I should be able to make a single drone and change the parameters of that single note forever(or until the envelope runs out). I'll stop crying that an old digital synth does not have features of an analog, tho.
