SquareWave June update
Posted: Thu Jun 01, 2006 10:34 am
Greetings from the SquareWave team!
Is it June already? Time sure flies! While we anxiously await the release of the Little Phatty, we busy ourselves with Voyager projects, MoogerFooger experiments and the June SquareWave update.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Here's what's new for June 2006 on SquareWave
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Voyager Patches Folder:
Nigel Hopkins (Nigey Nige) took a brief break from touring and contributed some new Voyager patches this month. New member Philbarella also added his own 'Orange Crush' organ patch to the list. Thanks for the sounds, guys!
---
Voyager FYI Folder:
In a new article, titled 'Kicking It Up A Notch', we take a fresh look at achieving the overdrive effect using feedback and Mix/Out loop techniques. Two sample MP3 audio clips are included. (Files: Kicking It Up A Notch.pdf. Audio clips: Catherine OD.mp3, V-Bass Fuzz.mp3)
Contour Generator added a brief note on his secret weapon for the Voyager (File: Secret Weapon). We won't tell you what it is – you'll have to check it out for yourself (thanks, CG!).
---
DIY Folder:
We updated and reposted the article about building a Mix/Out insert cable. The article (File: Mix Out Insert Cable.pdf) is a companion piece to 'Kicking it up a Notch'.
---
Monthly Mashup Folder:
The lost chord - found! We combined a couple of 'three-note' chord presets from the AE bank to create this month's chordal patch, called 'Space Oddity'.
---
Other:
Etelford78 contributed a Sonar .INS file for the Voyager.
---
Photos:
Photos of the special issue Voyager Solar from Laurent Lacroix (llxbe), and new photos from Nigel Hopkins (Nigey Nige). Thanks, guys!
---
Links:
Moognase (Nasenkuss_2005) posted ten (!) new Voyager songs on his website (www.moognase.com - his URL is also listed in the Song Links folder). While most of the pieces are of the ethereal, atmospheric varity, there is one beat-driven toe-tapper in the mix ('Summer Morning', with its bouncy TanDream bassline). Fans of the darker stuff will enjoy ' The Teeth of Time', an eerie dissonant piece produced with a Voyager and EtherWave Theremin. Nice work, Martin!
