Composer & synthesist Eric Mouquet (Deep Forest) shared this live improvisation, October Melody, on the Haken Continuum.
The Haken Continuum is a unique synthesizer that’s designed to provide the same level of responsiveness as traditional orchestral instruments.
The Continuum uses EaganMatrix, a powerful modular synthesis platform developed by Edmund Eagan, as its synth engine. This is the same platform used by Expressive E for its Osmose synthesizer.
Synthesist Benge (Benjamin David Edwards) shared this live performance, featuring the Roland SH-5 synthesizer and a compact Eurorack effects box.
“It builds up a bit like the swell of the ocean on a rainy day,” notes Benge.
Here’s what he has to say about the technical details:
“This is a live performance on the Roland SH5 using my newly formed “concrete” box.
The box has 4 loopers, 3 delays, a granular pitch shifter, a filter, 2 compressors, a stereo FX AID unit based on the Spin FV1 chip and an O’Tool monitor
Developer & synthesist Linus Åkesson shared his arrangement of Ave Maria (Bach/Gounod) for the Qweremin.
The Qweremin is described as a ‘QWERTY theremin’. It’s played by using the right hand on the keyboard to play individual notes, and the left hand to control volume and vibratro.
Here’s his intro to the Qweremin:
