FACTORY LINES - Doombient Performance with Visuals. Solar 42F & Make Noise

I'd love to hear from Solar 42 owners on discoveries they've made for unique uses of drone voices 3 & 6, and Strega owners - any cool tips on how to further explore it's strange percussive side?

In this performance, I support the Solar 42F running the Cathedral FX cartridge with percussive elements from the Make Noise 0-CTRL, 0-COAST, and STREGA. The Make Noise trio is running through a EQD Space Spiral DIY clone pedal I built, and everything is running through the Solar 42F into my recorder (look mom, no computer!).

I particularly enjoyed some of the huge string like sounds I produced around 02:42 by putting the FX fully wet and playing the knobs. The unique drone voices 3 & 6 on the Solar feature heavily (they're my favs).

Pretty impressed by the Make Noise Trio's ability to create percussion that sounds like drum sticks hitting pipes and what not at some horrific factory facility. I like.

Anyhow, hope you enjoy the dark vibes and sense of doom. Death and rebirth and conflict and all that.

Make Noise Trio & Solar 42F

New performance video up on my YouTube. Including strange visuals. All designed to hopefully make you feel a little tinge of existential dread ;)

This is a potent combo of synths, and if you’re curious what a 0-Coast thru a Strega thru a Solar 42f can sound like, check it out.

Ableton - great for endless possibilities. Also a headache because endless possibilities

Anyone else feel like they're constantly getting that OFFICE SPACE "PC Loadletter! What the fuck does that mean?!?" feeling when trying to wrap your head around all the different cables, midi channels, midi notes, audio routing, ableton settings, etc etc? I've been in MIDI and audio routing HELL. I'm blown away by people who make this seem so effortless (maybe they're just editing out all the headaches they go through). So much to keep track of. That said, I am trying to wrestle this all into a pretty complicated by nature live set up. Not sure it's avoidable.

Anyhow, here's a video of me trying out yet another live looping set up. Still not quite there but learning a ton with each new iteration. I'd really love your favorite tips and tricks in regards to what I'm trying to wire up here - a improvable live looping set up that incorporates external instruments and effects and is midi controlled for the most part. Not something like Binkbeats (that dude is god-tier with this but his way busts my brain). Who else is good at this?

Gamechanger Audio Motor Pedal as a mono synth!

Hey everyone, in this improv live performance I make heavy use of the Gamechanger Audio Motor Pedal as a synth voice, producing all its own sound. Not to be confused with the Motor Synth, a separate product from Gamechanger, this pedal can produce incredibly unique and in my opinion hard to replicate mono sounds. I also use the Soma Flux quite a bit, my current fav, and a variety of FX pedals and controllers.

Anyone else try the Motor Pedal as a playable synth?

Using MAKE NOISE semi-modular to summon Cthulhu

In this video I demonstrate how I approach this awesome trio of semi-modular synths and create a Cthulhu summoning patch. Watch with caution.

What are your favorite patches for either the Strega, 0-Coast, or 0-Ctrl (or all three!)?

A couple of details about set up in video. Happy to elaborate if you want. Love these machines for the dark vibes.

Hey fellow synth’ers, I’m the artist Doom SFX and I’m having fun making videos about my approaches to sound design on various bits of gear I use a lot. In this one we cook up a highly modulated broken pad sound on the Hydrasynth that’s meant to evoke the feeling of cosmic horror. Jump to the final timestamp if you just want to hear the final sound.

I did my best to explain how I conceptualize the feedback and neighbor oscillator settings on the A4. They’re my favorite oscillators to mess around with, and in the video I extensively demo how I employ them to create modular-esque, gnarly and interactive percussive sounds.

I haven’t seen many, if any, videos that feature these in depth. Perhaps they exist and I just haven’t found them. Regardless, they seem to be under discussed. And after making this video I can understand why! They are unpredictable sonic monsters!

Anyhow, I hope this might be of some help to people wondering how to use them.
