🟣 FRISSON 🟣

Access Virus TI Synth-JAM

Frisson (French for "shiver"), also known as aesthetic chills or psychogenic shivers, is a psychophysiological response to rewarding stimuli (including music, films, stories, people, photos, and rituals) that often induces a pleasurable or otherwise positively-valenced affective state and transient paresthesia (skin tingling or chills), sometimes along with piloerection (goose bumps) and mydriasis (pupil dilation). The sensation can occur as a mildly to moderately pleasurable emotional response to music with skin tingling (Wikipedia) 🫶

Thanks to @all_my_friends_are_machines for the opportunity to test out my dream synth a bit.

Another effort from the attical mancave. The machines are kept together with the magnificent Zoom Livetrak L6. I think the Ambient and the S1 pair very well together.

The Ambient0 tends to be overwhelming but in this vid it fits in smoothly

My previous setup couple weeks ago was a little more involved using an analog mixer, a couple of audio interfaces and a patchbay, I love the analog mixer workflow for the tactile experience but due to space constraints and the desire for more flexible routing options i decided to try the digital mixer avenue. Thoughts of my journey:

- crazy routing possibilities: having 18 channels available to work with in conjunction with a patchbay it's a godsend. Not only fully patchable on the analog side but on the digital side too using the internal routing matrix of the mixer so you can send signals everywhere to record.

- multi track possibilities: for the reasons above it is a joy to just jam and record everything separate, using buses or the 2 track master, even all at the same time. You end up with a near finished arrangement in no time to polish and release.

- polished sound with internal processing: extensive processing and effect handling per track in the unit itself before recording anything. Polish your sound on the way in change the tapping point on the digital routing side and you end up with a multi track recording already clean and ready. Commitment to a sound is a huge winner for me.

- price per channel is hard to beat and let's be honest 24bit 48khz is more than enough resolution for a great sounding production. Preamp quality is almost negligible and not an argument due to the line level nature of electronic instruments.

- it can work for a live gig like a charm. Easy to carry and programmable with all the routing, effects and even scenes for different tracks, a mastering chain in the mix bus for a tighter live sound without thinking about a computer or a rack full of gear.

The only downside to me is the lack of physical controls, thinking about getting a control surface for it.

So yes, I highly recommend this setup for a working electronic producer using a bunch of gear. At least you can try.

Last night I played a live show for the first time in >20yrs, and made the mistake of trying to match 1:1 how I play (or rather, compose) at home: full setup with all the devices, fixed arrangements with lots of patch/program changes, lots of project loads, and me working the synths along to the drum machine playing back eleborate chains in song mode... Sometimes while playing live bass.

I knew (everyone knows) one missed transition or forgotten mixer mute, mis-toggled 404 bank page, etc is all it would take, and there'd be no easy way to recover. I chanced it and paid the price.

It was just a low-stakes free house show and (almost) everyone was very supportive and cool about the three separate pileups I had. Some tracks came off great - I had a lot of fun but still super disappointing, though :/

The upside is that I've been rattled out of working the same way (meticulous arrangement and traditional songwriting) and am determined to do more casual improv at home and play out again (someday) with a different, more stress-free approach.

The other upside of playing out again after so many years was connecting with a few people who are into this kind of stuff... which hasn't happened in a long time (outside of this sub).

I’m a TD-3 user and I love the synth, but I wanted a more visual way to create and experiment with patterns.

So I’ve been building TDBuilder, a browser-based pattern editor made specifically around the TD-3 workflow.

You can program notes, accents and slides visually, generate patterns and then modify them instead of doing everything directly from the hardware sequencer.

I’m sharing it here because this is probably the best place to find people who actually know the TD-3 inside out.

There’s a free version:

If you try it, feedback is very welcome.

And if you make a good acid line with it, please share it — I’d really like to see what people do with it.

I love the torso, but I'm still learning the thing. It feels like a new sequencer changes everything in how I try to organise the whole setup. It is a step up from just using the korg sq1.
