Hardware Journey

Polygon

30min ambient vibes with Bitwig and Hardware from the lab :)

Swinger / ambient jam

Tried to have some fun in the studio today and slowly dipping my feet into hardware. The setup was kind of a struggle for a software guy like me, but when it runs its fun to play around with.

Mid/Side Definition

Im still not 100% recovered but got bored and tried to make a video. Its about defining the difference between the left and the right channel. Can cause a lot of trouble by fucking up the stereo signal but i think its still a nice technique. Let me know what you think.

Time Out

today i was diagnosed with herpes zoster / shingles around my hip... which causes a lot of constant pain (paracetamol / ibu have no effect). its attacking the brain directly (kind of). So i have special medication for the pain.. which also treats anxiety disorders / is an anti depressant and affects my mood. so im either awake and in pain or dizzy, tired and shaky all day + a little bit of pain. this needs weeks or months to recover completly and to be constantly treated with the medication i...

Barberpoli - Barberpole Phaser inspired by Sinevibes Whirl

I´m sick atm enjoying my bed, so i do a video for these presets later this week. 🤝 But you can download the presets today. The preset is inspired by Sinevibes Whirl, which is a nice sounding Barberpole Filter (mac only). 

Watch the Video

When you increase the frequency and play around with the feedback, you can create nice textures ...

Samples 2021/06

A patron send me his old unused Synth (Korg Monologue) and i created a small sample pack. Some of the samples are longer ones, modulating some parameters to get different timbres. Make sure you use the sampler and select sections you like. Also some are higher pitched so you can pitch them down for lush pads. All samples are not treated digitally (besides normalization) and in 32bit wav. 2 or 3 samples have a supermassive reverb on it, the rest is pure analogue.

Livestream 25th June 2021: Spacenight / Chill Out / Q+A?

2 tracks & 2000 questions. The last tune is based nearly entirely on my voice :D

Fugue Machine - using Bitwig´s Grid polyphony mode

Hey, todays its about the grid and the polyphony mode. You can modify  each voice to your likings and create interesting rhythms and melodies!

Buttermilk - Ambient

Small setup I did while constructing presets for you :D / Drum Delays incoming!

The Patch in the project can be downloaded here. its not something I havent done before. I use this preset 4 times in the project with different settings. The patch generates a new sequence every 32 bars (playback needed)

TouchOSC: CC Randomizer 1.0

This is a TouchOSC template. You get a slider for each CC (1-128) and a button to randomize the values of each slider. When you map CC to ceratin knobs in your synths, it can spit out random patches, which you can then adjust or save as presets.

• you need the newest TouchOSC version
• you need probably a virtual midi device (touch osc has something integrated, or use 2021-06-12 14:33:14 +0000 UTC View Post
