More music with acoustic guitar. I had more ambitious plan but it would have taken more time. Will do it in future when I get better at classical guitar. Meanwhile I will do something easier. Synths are Prophet 6 and OB-6. Not sure if I use too much noise in them or not. Noise makes them sound more organic but too much is too much.
I never know which videos get views and likes. Previous video was quite popular by my standards. I made eurorack to sound like Music Easel in it. In another popular video I made Minibrute 2S go experimental. What if I do both in same video? Minibrute 2S doesn't have low pass gate. So it can't get as close to Music Easel as eurorack. Tried to do Music Easel sound without limiting myself to what Music Easel can do. Sequence is eight step played randomly instead of five step of Music Easel. Second oscillator does FM and AM same time. With Music Easel you have to choose one. Whole signal chain is in Minibrute 2S. Buchla & Tiptop Audio's Source of Uncertainty and Quad Function Generator give random clock, envelope and random CV to various places.
I wanted to do something with acoustic guitar and learn I need to practice playing acoustic guitar much more. This is first time I used acoustic guitar for anything I have released. Have had it for more than ten years. Will use it more in future. Despite my bad playing it sounded ok. Not sure how I made Prophet 6 sound like that. It suited the mood I was after. Usually it doesn't sound like that.
Had some other more important things last week. That is why there was no video last week and partly reason this is so short.
Second attempt to make eurorack sound like Buchla Music Easel. This time I didn't limit myself with limitations of Music Easel. I use two Dixie 2+ oscillators and both channels of Optomix. One goes straight to Optomix and other's sine wave goes to wave folder before mixed with saw wave and then to Optomix. I use three Sample & Holds to modulate sequence's pitch and speed and wave folders fold parameter. 0-CTRL gives five step sequence which is mixed with sample & hold to prevent sequence from repeating. I wanted originally to have something like Music Easel's preset voltage but couldn't have it without getting new modules or second 0-CTRL.
Last week I binged Buchla Music Easel videos. It made me think if I could do what Music Easel can do with eurorack. Tried to make oscillators work like Music Easel's and keep the limitations of Music Easel. Oscillators, wave folder and low pass gate are different but I tried to use them like you can do with Music Easel. Reverb is from plugin. Sequence is from Make Noise 0-CTRL which let you have five step unquantized sequence like Music Easel.
I will revisit this idea in future with less limitations. After making this I got few ideas how to music easel with eurorack.
Got Make Noise 0-CTRL couple weeks ago. Wanted to do something with it. This is eurorack live performance using 0-CTRL. I try to get back to playing guitar now that we are past January. January was bit stressful. Had to keep these videos simpler which mean more experimental music.
