Synthesist Pipo Ferreira shared this ambient performance, featuring the Moog Subharmonicon + Make Noise Bruxa.
Technical Details:
The performance also includes some melodic piano from the Disting NT and field recordings + FX from an iPad. All sequenced by the Subharmonicon, except for Moog DFAM percussion.
Synthesist Gary P Hayes shared this Berlin School style synth jam, Morphogenesis.
The jam is performed with Zaquencer – an unofficial firmware for the Behringer BCR2000 that turns it into a multi-channel step sequencer. Behringer has previously announced to bring back the BCR2000 in compact form – and to include Zaquencer as a factory option.
Here’s what Hayes shared about the technical details:
“The 4 track Zaquencer….is great for on the fly changes to step pitch (and whole track pitch), the wonderful step skip and mute, chords and inversions, ratchets, track step speed & polymetric / rhythm, various midi ctrls per step (2 separate ones) and a lot more.
Here I try a few of these an hour after getting it plugged in – 3 tracks into my bARP (doing 3 oscs, noise and 2 sustains), FM2 doing tuned perc and the Roland S1 doing analog synth things.
An obvious influence in many places to minimalism, but really a great exercise for me to learn how to best use the Zaq.”
The video, via Copenhagen Noise Lab, captures a live ambient music performance featuring Prophet 12, Moog Muse, Pro 2 and Eurorack Modular.
“Outside we have more snow than I ever experienced here in Denmark,” they note, “so the music kind of reflects that cold, but cozy, mood.”
Here’s what they have to say about the technical details of the performance:
“This is a live session with some of my favourite synthesizers at the moment.
The slow noise is a noise generator into Frap Tools Fumana filterbank, modulated by a Pam’s Pro Workout and effected by Empress Euroburo Zoia and Strymon Starlab.
The rhythmic noise is a sequenced patch on the Sequential Pro 2 through a Boss SL20 slicer.
The Moog Muse is playing a slow pattern arpeggio through an Eventide Modfactor, and on top of that I play the Prophet 12 through an Eventide H9 (blackhole algoritm).
This is an unedited take on what I usually do in my studio to relax.”
