Jamuary 2023 - Ambient with Bespoke Teensy Synth and NTS 1 Reverb

Like it says on the tin. A Teensy Synth I made, in ambient mode, into the NTS-1 with the riser reverb.

#Jamuary 2023 POCKET Operators Jam 2 - Trap/Berlin with Mellotron Choir

That’s right it’s a mash up of styles. One more go with these, then I will move on I think.

cool! nice bit of glitch hop

is the boxing on the operators?

#Jamuary 2023 POCKET Operators Jam - Mellotron and Garage Samples

I forgot how much fun they can be until I got them out for a play...
The PO33 has samples of garage noises and mellotron strings (A sample of a sample of strings!).

80s futuristic crime drama theme

#Jamuary 2023 Tummy Time Crab Jam with Volca Sample and Volca Keys

This crab astounds my granddaughter and also it amuses me. It definitely has a Techno feel to its sound. I just had to jam with it and her sounds.

love it!! bet im not the only person who searched for tummy time crab after watching

#Jamuary 2023 - eBow and Sy1000 Guitar Synth Drones?

Needless to say I had to multitrack this jam to get more than one guitar synth part with the eBow (guitar sustainer). The eBow is a great way to alter the amplitude envelope for a guitar synth but it's a bit of a beast to tame!
The SY1000 patch is the "Baritone Tenor Sax " patch, again created by the very talented Nobulusprime at VGuitar Forums.

ebows are great fun!
nice eastern vibe

This is lovely and you’re absolutely right, it’s meditative. I didn’t think I liked this style before this Jamuary and I’m learning I probably need more of this.

Vurt is right, it’s absolutely lush. I massacre anything every time I use a pitched reverb for anything other than sound effects, so you have my respect for making it every bit apart of the sound. Again, nicely done.

#Jamuary 2023 - Dual Launchpad (Teensy Controlled) Jam with Drone Enabled. RD-6, TD-3, Volca FM & Keys

Using my Bespoke Teensy Controlled Dual Launchpad system.
This is more of a demonstration of jamming using my system than a great Jam.
No patterns were created before starting. I used the random pattern function to generate one pattern and I also tested some new functions:
- Drum Ratchet
- Probability per Step
- Synth Drone
- Teensy System is now capable of driving 4 synths and 1 drums machine via dedicated MIDI outs
Synths:
Volca FM: Nice drone sounds
Volca Keys: Crunchy Delay/Echo
RD-6: Drums
TD-3: Random pattern

that is impressive on so many levels, from building bits yourself to doing it all from scratch on camera
and sounds great too

that could easily have been a live floyd jam, while dave is changing a string!
awesome work.

All the sounds are recorded from a local National Park including:
- Crickets

#Jamuary 2023 - Dual LaunchPads and Teensy Controlling RD-6, TD-3, Volca FM and Volca Keys

Using my Bespoke Teensy Controlled Dual Launchpad system.
The patterns were randomly generated by the system prior to the Jam.

lovely percussion work and the "whale" synth is great

#Jamuary 2023 - Volca Sample and Bass - Garage Sounds Samples

The Volca Sample is playing sounds I made from tools etc. in the Garage.
Includes:
- Vice
- Tray of Bolts
- Hitting a section of train rail

nice synth line
just how big is your garage that it needs its own internal railway system?
always love some "found sounds"

#Jamuary 2023 - Bespoke Berlin School Synthesiser with a SY1000 Guitar Synth

Trying out my Berlin School Sequence Machine with my SY1000 guitar synth. On listening back I think the Saw tooth probably needs some work with the amplitude envelope, but it has plenty of grunt!
I use 3 different presets on the SY1000. A guitar with a single echo and a shimmering synth, the replicant patch and the mono sine with lots of glide.

total steve hillage vibes!
you sir, are an electric gypsy!

[Allomerus]

Thanks vurt for all your listens and comments.

lush!
lovely sound and a great reverb i had no idea the nts packed such a punch!!
love the light stings visual too

The NTS-1 is great, even the synths are cool. You can even add more third party effects and synths.

cool! nice bit of glitch hop
is the boxing on the operators?

Thanks. The background is from the pocket operator screen, which are fun animations. I used a digital microscope I have for electronics.

80s futuristic crime drama theme

It certainly could be... mmmm

love it!! bet im not the only person who searched for tummy time crab after watching

I'll bet you are not. I love it so much I am going to use it again for a techno blues track!

ebows are great fun!
nice eastern vibe

They are great, I have had mine over 30 years and it's still going strong.

that is impressive on so many levels, from building bits yourself to doing it all from scratch on camera
and sounds great too

Thank you, I enjoy making new things and trying out new ideas. It's a great learning experience too! Glad it sounds good too.

welcome my son...

awesome work.

Thank you vurt. I can only say that this is a huge compliment for me. Floyd were brilliant and a constant source of inspiration.

never heard of a pebble bonk frog, but i like both the name and sound it makes
nice drone sound there too!

That's because it's pobble bonk, bloody spell check defeated me again.

lovely percussion work and the "whale" synth is great

I like that description "whale synth". Maybe a great idea for a sample...

nice synth line
just how big is your garage that it needs its own internal railway system?
always love some "found sounds"

Ha, it is a double car garage and the piece of rail is about a foot long. My father who was a toolmaker and master maker of mechanical devices (he built his own bench saw with a washing machine motor) got it from somewhere. It's great for straightening stuff I bend accidentally.

total steve hillage vibes!
you sir, are an electric gypsy!

Thanks vurt, another nice reference.

I think I answered them all, thanks again..
