Just Like We Never Said Goodbye (SOPHIE cover, 80s edition) | Deerful

Published on Oct 12, 2017 Deerful

"I've gone full 80s, including VHS filter, and I'm not sorry. Couldn't get the vocals right so I overdubbed them, also not sorry. I think this is the most fun I've ever had covering something. More info under here.

Original song here, SOPHIE is a genius and I basically ruined all the experimentalism and eeriness of the original. Sorry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z3N7...

You know I've got an album out, right? https://wiaiwya.bandcamp.com/album/peach...

--- ABOUT THE VIDEO --

The device I'm playing is a Novation Circuit. All sounds are from Yves Big City's Delorean Dream pack which is a TREASURE - https://isotonikstudios.com/product/d...

USUALLY I record sending a USB cardioid mic into Ableton, track muted; circuit into iRig Pro into Ableton, track soloed but very low volume so I can hear it enough to sing with but there's not much bleed into the mic and I can mix them separately. I don't like singing with headphones. For this, however, the Circuit performance is live but I recorded the vocals separately because I couldn't get 'em right. I'm not a purist. I know a lot of you lot are.

Steffi - Against The Clock

Published on Oct 12, 2017 FACTmagazine

Some nice synth spotting in this one. Sequentix P3 sequencer appears to the brain.

"The Dutch house and techno explorer creates an intense track in 10 minutes.

Steffi keeps busy. Since moving to Berlin in 2007, the Dutch-born producer has – deep breath now – released three sublime solo albums on Ostgut Ton, founded not one but two successful labels, promoted hundreds of underground parties and kept the city's iconic Panorama Bar booming as one of its resident DJs.

With her most recent album World of the Waking State continuing to make waves a month after its release, we added another item to her already-frantic to-do list – our Against The Clock challenge. Crafting a beat in 10 minutes using a seriously enviable array of gear, the cult hero didn't disappoint. Watch above."

''I Feel Love'' bass line technique

Published on Sep 4, 2017 SynthMania

"Sooooo many people asked me to post a video of Giorgio Moroder bass lines, so here are Grace and me in the studio doing a preliminary attempt of the wonderful, mega-classic "I Need Love". Unfortunately I don't yet have 960 sequencers (I plan to add them to the modular early next year) so I'm using a 119 for now, but the "beef" of the matter is there - namely, dry synth bass on the left channel, and offset timed echo return on the right channel - to make it subliminally sound like it's a 16-step sequence instead of the real 8th sequence that it is. There are a few oversights and the Space Echo return was set too low (I'll go ahead and blame it on Grace, she was at the controls :-D - just kidding, it was my fault), but we hope you enjoy the video."

Eurorack Improv no2

Published on Aug 23, 2017 Richard Lacy

"A fun patch with Sarah Mac, which were enjoying playing with enough to share…

This started as an ambient idea with Rings, but it got out of hand! Mixed straight to stereo, no overdubs or fiddling afterwards. The only computer involvement was to record the stereo audio from the little Mackie mixer.

Geek notes below.

Main clock is the Doepfer Dark Time Sequencer.

1. DarkTime - Rings (pitch, strum and structure from the Dark Time) - AQA Dual SVS in band pass - Z-DSP (valhalla).
Modulation: Maths Ch1 - Rings Position. Maths Ch 4 - Z-DSP reverb time.
A-145 LFO - Z-DSP wet/dry mix.
2. Bass: Korg MS20. Pitch CV from Analogue Solutions SQ8. Gate from 4MS RCD
3. Bass Drum: Atlantis triggered from an SQ8
4. Descending ambient line: Metropolis - A-110 VCO (saw) - Dave Smith Curtis Filter
5. Radio Music Voice: Turing Machine - RadioMusic - A-120 VCF
6. Radio Music frozen in Clouds. Triggered from a clock divider as a percussive element.
7. Low warbly sound: 4MS RCD - AS EG - A-110 pitch CV - (saw) Shapeshifter pitch input - AM Snowfall VCF. Not sure how the Shapeshifter was configured, but it was a nutty little sound on its own!)
8. 4MS SMR - 4MS DLD. The SMR is receiving modulation from Tides and a Moog CP-251
9. 80s-style synth line. This one is a bit nuts… The Stepper Acid - (pitch) two A-110 VCOs - AS Unity Mixer - A-106 VCF (LP) - Veils VCA. Then…
Stepper Acid gate - A-143-1 Complex EG. Ch 1 - Veils. CH2 and Ch3 are firing in series and modulating the filter.
There's a second chain here, starting with the inverted output of the AS Unity Mixer - A-105 SSM VCF.
Stepper Acid accent output - A-143-2 Quad ADSR. Three channels, firing in series, feeding the three CV inputs on the filter. The overall effect of this makes a nice complex sound for a simple synth sequence.

All the audio went into a little Mackie desk. 2 FX sends:
Aux 1: Deeper Spring Reverb
Aux 2: Moogerfooger Clusterflux.

We could have done more with this patch to refine it, but really it’s just a Jam!
Thanks for watching."
