[pedaloftheday]

TIME TO GET WEIRD, KIDDOS!! Journey down an exciting and odd path as we explore the wild Phreak Ring Modulator from our friends at Dr. Scientist Sounds!! Lots of modes, onboard presets, MIDI and more, this one has it all…!!

the last two wip dumps were both posted on the 26th of the month so i considered scheduling this for the 26th as well but that feels silly. anyways wip dump again

top discovered albums this year. as in, top albums from not-2023 but that I found in 2023. i dont have spotify so i gotta do this manually.

rankings approximate. links and thoughts under the cut

hizmi - Soak (2021)

sometimes it's the technicalities that blow my mind. this is…… unmodified X68000 music????

Yeah listening to this has expanded my mind on what's possible with old FM chips. None of this sounds like the artist found any restriction with any aspect of the system.

"Rivulet" blows my mind every time. It's just an ilkae song. Like cmon.

SDEM - ZNS (2020)

After AE_LIVE 2022, I went on a little bender, looking for anything else ae-esque.

I pretty much immediately struck gold. I had been digging through SDEM stuff anyway but man this is another level.

"dysp 0m" in particular is one of the tracks of all time. I keep coming back to it. it's HEAVY on headphones.

---

Ssaladd - Ssaladd (2020)

This is a funny selection to land on a TOP8 because it's so understated. It even kinda feels distant.

But damnit that's why it stuck with me.

The use of wow and flutter is crazy good here!

It feels like carefully applied vibrato, an application of the expression MIDI CC. But completely unlike any other vibrato I've heard.

It feels like a pioneering mix of techniques. And I can't stop thinking about it.

Cryptovolans - Passenger (2022)

Is it possible to have a wall of sound in MIDI?

No, not Black MIDI. Something prog.

I keep coming back to "Board Room" in particular because it's so... weird? Slightly beyond just SC, but not by much. Heavyweight album.

---

Kid606 - GQ on the EQ++ (2000)

The textures on this absolutely blew me away.

"My Kitten Went To London" sounds insanely fresh. I can't believe it's pushing 23 years old!

That and "Dandy" really stuck wth me. The latter sounds a bit more era-appropriate somehow (maybe because of oval?), but still vibes really good.

This was actually me revisiting the album. I initially listened to it about a decade ago and didn't like it. Crazy to think I turned away from such gold back then.

nagz - Good (2020)

nagz has been a longtime favorite and inspiration of mine. He's been making music from the future for years and years. Blowing my mind since 2006 or so.

One of his earlier releases, hringur, stuck with me for years. It had an atmosphere that I had never heard before or since.

…until now.

It's not actually a sequel, but it's got a flavor that I just. Don't know where else you can find.

If I were to highlight a single track: "I Like You But Not Too Much" hits astoundingly hard. It's what I imagine Earthbound music might be like if it were made today.

DJ Technorch & 九十九音夢 – Strong Anthropic Principle (2016)

An absolutely mind melting early (found in January) favorite. Hard, hardcore, and psychedelic. And a bit silly.

"猫���気持ち 〜Cat's Mind〜 (Masayoshi Iimori Remix)" and "解熱鎮痛一撃必殺 〜Critical Arts〜" in particular stuck with me as great experiences.

I really really like the preview video, too. (nsfw warning?) (flashing lights warning?). It truly captures the vibe.

AE_LIVE / elseq 6-10 / onesix

I had already listened to some of these, but around march, I found fanmade CUE sheets, and that brought a whole new level of love for this release.

And then I found fan edits with another set of fan titles. Two names for all of my favorite bits? Sure!

"ceramic / clipcon" i love that percussion! the ringmod in "(drunk) / probat emp2" is some of my fav ae work ever. having splits made me fall in love with the density of "sentinel / sinistrail casual"

and then I discovered the onesix sets and fan-cuts, giving a more ambient dive which I'll only mention briefly here. But man, "reflected / seven of twelve" is one I revisit OFTEN.

tryna haggle for a weird tremolo/ringmod on reverb

mf declined my lowball without even a counter offer :( cmon at least counter :( no fun

[magicsilverbox]

happy 303 day!

this week i learned that if you x*y ringmod a distorted 303 with a whole lot of frogs, it sounds like a very aggressive duck

[taperwolf]

This clip uses my Little Bits adapter to run two i36 Micro Sequencer bits in series. Each only has four steps, but by running them at different speeds, they synchronize in different ways to produce a longer sequence of notes.

Those notes modulate the VCO, whose pulse wave is ringmodded together with an audio-rate triangle-ish wave from one of the Sigma function generators. That output goes through the low-pass filter, then a cheap little phaser pedal. That's fed back into the VCA, which is being modulated by an ASR envelope from the second Sigma, triggered by the gate output of the second Micro Sequencer, and things then go into the echo and output mix.

One out of my collection! Still has the plastic on the top! Such a crazy cool pedal. So cool it is the inspiration for our Mycelium Ring Modulator. #moldspore #snarlingdogs #wah #wahpedal #wahwah #ringmod #ringmodulator #vintage #vintagepedals #rare #rarepedal #collector #pedalcollector #mycelium #vintagetones #vintagecollection https://www.instagram.com/p/BvABlulHZuD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qroofwzin60m

So many tones……Posted @withregram • @industrialectric System - 46 with both synth signals mixed together. Signal 1 generating the synth through the hyper-ringmodulator and signal 2 through waveshaper 1 (decoder) near the end I turn down signal 2 so you can hear the straight synth and ringmod madness! #industrialectric #system46 #synth #ringmod #boutiqueguitarpedals (at Axe and You Shall Receive Inc.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTBZ-9-jtoP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Again with the sine versus ringmod of a sine and a sawtooth, but the modulation on each side is more complex, including some envelope-like behavior. Staring at a phosphor display in a darkened room while I'm fighting off a migraine is probably not the best idea, but do I like the patterns.

Finally completed this row of modules, they made me go to the wrong post office, lost a bunch of time but finally sorted this out, got the @behringer 1005 Mod Amp module today and last week I've received the 2hp PLL module, will hopefully have fun with these new modules soon, working on my school projects at the moment, haven't had a day off in over a month, going to have 2 days off this week. #behringer #arp2500 #ringmod #newmoduleday #eurorackmodular #eurorack #synthesizer #modularsynth #modularsynthesizer #euroracksynth #tiptop #happyendingkit #2hp #pll #pyleusa #soundtown #noiseart #noiseproducer #musicproducer #experimentalmusic #synth #synthaddict #music #synthesis #synthporn #synthesizermusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CdWh2bWpcsE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
