Land of the Rising Sound. Eurorack Drumming Tutorial with Mutable Grids, Circadian Rhythms & Switched Multiples. Modular Moog "Toccata" Patch... Modular Synths The Core of the Synth Walkthrough LMNC. Re-Examining "Pattern Bussing" technique. Over the last couple of years, since I initially published this technique for patching the '960-style' (Moog)(Q960 Synthesizers.com) analog stepping sequencers, several people have told me that they have had trouble with the patch.

Re-Examining "Pattern Bussing" technique

As I've recently discovered one specific 'error' that some people are doing, I decided to clear-up some 'assumptions' made, and by making a new video to post on YouTube, I've not bothered with making some "way-kewel" sequence, but rather, use the 'annotations', and a closer view to attempt to demonstrate the theory behind my "Pattern Bussing" technique. Another 'assumption' many people have made, was that the pattern(s) in the previous demos were, in essence, about all that could be done without retuning... which is way, WAY not the case.

Sounds. These sounds demonstrate how Synthesizers.com systems and modules sound, but remember, there's nothing like hearing one in person.

Wherever possible, I have used books from Dover Publications because of their technical depth, illustrious authors, and budget-minded pricing. Embarking on a self-taught engineering path can be expensive, though not as costly as a formal education in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science. Newcomers often balk when they are presented with a tome that costs $150, however these books can easily provide much greater value in knowledge gained.

Thanks to the wonders of the internet, one’s quest for knowledge really has no limitations.

The 10 best lectures on electronic music ever; watch them now

Between the plethora of digitized articles, documentaries, and—on the technical side of things—instructional videos and guides around, there is no shortage of information accessible to those who seek to learn more about the ever-expanding world of electronic music. The lecture, however, makes for a unique form of information sharing as it not only provides the necessary facts and details, but also allows for attendees (and, eventually, viewers) to get a sense of the person behind these facets of knowledge. With that in mind, Beatport News has compiled what we believe are 10 amazing lectures on electronic music, gathering videos from modern innovators, dance music originators, technical wizards, and a few that simply capture a time and place in electronic music too perfectly to overlook. Below are our 10 picks guaranteed to teach every electronic music enthusiast and music maker something new.

Synth Secrets: SOS. Synth Tips. Nord Modular Tips & Tricks. Welcome to the Nord Modular and Micro Modular 'tips and tricks' section! The workshops of this section are created by a very skilled Nord Modular user: Rob Hordijk. On the 'tips and tricks' pages you will find various information regarding sound synthesis techniques. With every topic comes a workshop where you can follow the practical, non-mathematical, musician-oriented examples. The patches are kept as simple as possible showing only the basic connections. SynthesisWorkshops. Synthesis theory - crca. Nm_filters. [Prev (Oscillator Modification)][Next (Noise Generation)][Table of Contents] Much of the character of a given synthesizer sound comes from the filters that are used to sculpt the spectrum of the sound. While the Nord Modular provides a wide range of different filter modules, one can obtain an even wider array of filtering possibilities by applying various patch design techniques.

Famous Sounds. An awesome sounding, expressive early electronic keyboard! --- Del Shannon's "Runaway", The Tornadoes' "Telstar" are examples of this precursor to the modern synthesizer. UPDATE FROM A READER: "Hiyas. You list the Del Shannon hit "runaway" as featuring a clavoline. I listened to the audio sample of the pertinent section, and I'm assuming that you refer to the high, reedy sort of solo that plays. Synth Secrets: Links to All Parts.
