Moog Sub Phatty & Q960 Step Sequencer

AudioCentralMagazine posted this fantastic video of the new Moog Sub-P hooked up to a Q960 Step Sequencer:

"The mighty analog Moog Sub Phatty Synthesizer is under control of Q960 Sequential Controller. As usual, Row A is for Pitch, Row B is for Filter opening. On this video, while sequence is running, there are tests for EGs snap, OSC reset under key Gate, fattyness of SubOsc, wild brutality of Multidrive distortion. Such a lovely, little analog machine."

 

 

UPDATE:

AudioCentralMagazine posted another Sub_P video today, this time featuring an oscilloscope:

The Red Bull Music Academy released episode 4 of H∆SHTAG$, their new mini-documentary series on Internet music and digital culture! Check it:

"For the fourth episode of H∆SHTAG$ - our web series chronicling Internet-based music - we take a deep dive into the fledgling beats scene. Flying Lotus, TNGHT, The Gaslamp Killer, Shlohmo and XXYYXX are just a few of the artists that talk about how a small LA club night and circle of friends turned into a truly global phenomenon and transformed both electronic music and hip hop along the way."

Malström Sound Design - Micro Tutorial

I love the Propellerhead Sound Design Micro Tutorials. The latest explores Malström, a synth designed by Magnus Lidström (of Sonic Charge fame) back when he had a day job with the Props:

"Malström is a one-of-a-kind synth, begging to be explored. In this tutorial we'll learn the basics of this mean green machine by creating a synth pad sound from scratch. And once you've got a feel for what Malström can do, endless sound design possibilities are just around the corner!"
