This past Friday night, I busted my Synth Battle Royale [1] cherry | |
and joined fellow sdf members, abortretryfail, iiogama, ldbeth, and | |
smj in making synth sounds on aNONradio. I thought I wasn't going to | |
make it since I tuned in late, but they still allowed me to join. :) | |
My setup was not ideal and my mic did not work. I also couldn't | |
really hear myself well since I had an earphone in one ear attached | |
to my cobbled mixer setup and the delayed aNONradio broadcast in the | |
other ear since I couldn't really tell if my audio levels were OK or | |
if I was transmitting or not. I started hearing myself...a high | |
pitched tone, and so I proceeded to mess with the synths. | |
I had the Werkstatt-01 and the PO-12 (rhythm) connected to the | |
KeyStep 37, with the audio going to a mixer and the output over to a | |
Raspberry Pi 4, like last time I was messing with this. [2] Quite | |
frankly, I don't really know what I'm doing and just playing around | |
with the instruments. I'll eventually learn how to use them in a more | |
intentional way, but for the time being, I'm just having fun making | |
noise and exploring the different functions without understanding too | |
much of how the sausage is being made. That can come later. Then | |
again, maybe that's why I still don't know much about music theory. | |
If you are interested in hearing the battle, you can find it in the | |
aNONradio M E M O R E X [3]. My Round 1 trainwreck starts around | |
00:40:39 and my Round 2 is around 01:31:45. Archives of past SBR | |
shows are available at the aNONradio.net site as well. | |
If you would like to hear Synth Battle Royale live or even | |
participate, be sure to tune in on Saturdays at 0300 UTC during open | |
mic! Join in the chat in COM[mode] with the dambgudcyberchatterz | |
of the Internet's basement. COM[mode] is available with your free | |
UNIX shell account at sdf.org. | |
If synths are not your thing, there is open mic [4] where you can | |
be the DJ, do spoken word, play a different instrument, read poetry, | |
sing karaoke, etc. Be sure to check the programming schedule on | |
the main aNONradio page for times. | |
