MXXX Experiments - Videos/Tutorials/Audio Demos inside

[Sampleconstruct]

Here is another Vocoder patch from TR - vocoding/granulating/delaying/filtering a pad texture (Kaleidoscope/ArcSyn) with a beat (Falcon/Zebra/Groove Agent/Tremor), tweaking the Macros on the fly. Demo starts dry displaying the pad source and then the beat, then MXXX fades in (wet/dry).

Processing a rhodes/string impro - demo starts dry, then MXXX fades in (wet/dry) - automating several Macros on the fly for chorus rate/feedback (the latter creating the occasional self-resonating feedbacks), volume of stereo spread module and volume of delay/reverb combo.

Audio-morphing reversed female gibberish with one of my Iris soundscapes, also on board is a formant filter with it's resonance modulated by an envelope follower, MUnison, reverb and transposed grains with filtering (post reverb) inside a feedback chain. Tweaking the Macros live on video, quite amazing what variety of sound can be created with a setup like this.

Processing some acoustic guitar loops from my sound library Ambient Strings (Falcon/MachFive) and rhodes improvising (Lounge Lizard) with a fresh preset from Transformed Reality - this preset combines 2 different types of chorus, synced delays, reversed tempo-syced granular synthesis (grain length -> 1 bar) and filter/filter drive/amplitude modulation. If you play a quick descending scale it comes back as an ascending one, fun...

Nice demos. I love MXXX. It's what I was hoping the Uhbiks would become.

Cheers, the only similar thing is Reaktor / Molekular, but that's by far less flexible and only allows for four modules per patch and is not multi-band. The only thing the Uhbiks do here is collecting dust.

I still use them all the time. I don't always need to bury the track. Sometimes a simple single effect is what's called for and something like MXXX would just be overkill and awkward. I thought about selling them recently, but I realized that they still sound very good and they're pretty full featured.

Sure, I'm not animating people to “bury“ their tracks in multi-fx in any way, I'm showing what's possible with MXXX and how it can be used in a musical/sound design context from far out and extreme to more subtle and normal. And MXXX is just as good for simple tasks, for me using several big universal tools has become much more natural/efficient/enjoyable/whatever than using dozens of specialized tools, the same counts for synths, granulators and samplers (going the hybrid route rather than having 10 synths, 5 samplers and 4 granulators in my setup).

An fresh preset from Transformed Reality processing a simple sequence of octaves/fifths (Rhodes and Kalimba sound) plus some guitar swells, this preset combines MUnison (harmonizing enabled), MGranular, MWobbler, delay and convolution FX. Demo starts totally dry, then MXXX fades in (wet/dry).

This one is totally out there:

Processing some female vocal portato accents (octaves) with an MXXXCore setup which uses 2 bands, granular synthesis+warped spaces in each band, modulated band crossovers, demo starts totally dry:

Here comes an acoustic guitar jam processed with 2 instances of MXXX, both use the same preset, as there is a follower modulator modulating the bandpass/wahwah cutoff in band 2, using 2 separate instances for bass and tapping line/solo lines sounded better, as the trigger levels would interfere otherwise.

Demo starts totally dry.

And this patch uses MTransform (frequency shifter) as it's main processor, exploring vrious degrees of spectral smearing/feedback plus some detuned delays in lane 2. Plenty of tempo-synced modulation going on, tweaking the Macros on the fly live on video. Video starts totally dry:

Some Bass Sex, combining different filter types with tempo-synced animation and synced, transposed delays fading in and out:

[Sampleconstruct]

Processing an e-bow impro played with one of my Padshop Pro patches with a preset from TR using a 2-band setup combining granular synthesis/harmonizing/filtering/distortion/reverb.

From the PDF:

In the lower band a harmonizer adds octaves and perfect fifth below the input signal, a diffusion filter, a reverb and feedback module are processing the signal further, control feedback delay, filter saturation and reverb mix with the Macros in column 2. In the upper band pitch-quantized grains are processed by a convolution reverb, set grain size/reverb mix/band 2 volume with Macros 1-3, set band limit with Macro 4.

Demo starts dry.

Processing some brass swells (VSL) layered with a pad Zebra) with 2 instances of MXXXCore, each one using a different preset with frequency shifting, ring modulation and other stuff.

Stepping though 3 presets from TR using a guitar sound layered with a simple pad as audio input, tweaking the Macros on the fly.
