I have trouble imagining how I would play a fretless guitar. Watching these magicians play the Continuum blows my mind. How can someone move their fingers like that over a smooth keyboard and produce such music??? What abilities!
you are providing some of the most important crucial richest content via youtube of pop usa culture that defined music forever, this can't be stressed how heavily historical this is, i wish more people involved in such recordings would contribute their stories and knowledge to public like you do, thank you infinitly
The Moog 15 app is nice. The little touches that they did like showing the scuff marks on the ribbon controller really went a long way to making it feel as close as possible to playing a Modular. However, what makes modulars worthwhile is the interface. Having all the knobs to manipulate, especially when there's a knob and jack per-function is the most important part of the playing experience that can't be replicated with a touch screen.
I was imagining this set up of AJH x Osmose last week - can’t believe you had already filmed it - you read my mind Anthony. The only thing I wondered about was the lag technique you demonstrated on the ARP2600 - here you can definitely hear the need for it on short notes - clicky clicky 😁 does sound fantastic though.
The point about transient response is interesting, but I don't think it's actually kind of 2 different points. For something like an envelope for a filter or vca, digital sample rate should be totally fine as often those only go down to 1ms minimum attack (which is 1khz). The problem comes with reproducing the much much faster transient changes in something like a square or pulse oscillator, because those harmonics are going to become very high frequency very quickly. A true square wave has all the odd harmonics of the fundamental frequency at a level of 1/harmonic number. So, already at 1khz fundamental, you have -9.5 dB at 3khz, and then 5khz, 7khz, 9khz, 11khz, etc. Then you're reaching 20khz at -33dB approximately (1/20). So, that's already close to nyquist and at still an audible component of the signal. If your fundamental is a little higher at say 2khz, then those harmonics are twice as high frequency and you are already passing nyquist at the 10th harmonic, which is -30dB. etc etc. So, very quickly you start to lose ability to represent the square wave without aliasing. The same is true for sawtooth, but they also contain all the even harmonics as well as the odd. So yeah, he's totally.correct about that especially when it comes to modulating those pitches. One place you can hear a lot of aliasing is vibrato effects of higher pitches if not properly handled.
Oh my goodness, I cried! That was astounding. I know this piece intimately. But I had no idea it was originally written for 6 ondes martenots. He is so right, what an extraordinary time to be alive to have such instruments at our disposal, bringing the worlds of electronic touchless and gestural instruments together. And the rest. Wonderful. Thank you.
Love analog Modulars but I’m completely into tools like cherry modular, rack 2, moog 15, Audulus, csound, fl studio and my huge collection of VSTs. I have some hardware synths but I love not being held back when all I got is my MacPro or iPadPro. Hardware users argue it’s the process of experimenting that leads to great ideas and that’s true. My ideas just appear anytime and I have to get them down quick without the friction of physical hardware.
Haha, I got through about half the video, commented, ordered the Behringer clone (I already have their 303 clone so why not) and watched the rest of the video in like a minute flat lol…..
Yeah! I totally agree with you, every day it gets better and better. The insight into making music, sound design and instruments, as well as the interviews with musician's and song writer's. Truly brilliant.
As a classical pianist who produces this is how I want to setup my drums so I can play them with my keyboard this was cool to see now I know I can do it 🔥
