BYLANT

Performer and music composer Bylant puts his impressions into musical textures while creates sonic landscapes and sound towers. In his compositions, he investigates the possible ways of transforming music according to the manifestations of human creative power, either it is a geometric thought or the beliefs, rhythms and melodies of an ancient culture. He uses both analog and digital instruments taking advantages of these two worlds.

    Excellent video Bylant, I'm torn between this, Make Noise Optomix and the simpler Doepfer A-142-2 for my tiny lunchbox rack. My need is for ENV and VCA in 8hp, Michigan Works has a 8Hp uStreams which seems amazing, and these three option seem to fit my need, Streams looks like it offers a fair bit more than the other two options so I'm leaning the way. Do you have any thoughts on this?

    Hi Jin-Hu, thanks for watching.Streams is absolutely worth it (either the original or a clone) although I don't know the Optomix and the Doepfer. But if you need vca AND env, this is the best option. I think I don't demonstrated enough how good is Streams' internal envelope, it has a lot of useful curves mainly for imiting acoustic instruments. You can use it as a standalone vca as well with external envelope.

    A very well done video, Bylant. I've been saving your Video for a year. Now that I've given STREAMS and BLADES to myself as a belated birthday present 😂 I'll be watching it again and again.😊 Very nice how you pointed out the LPG and its special features at the beginning using a sheet of paper. Acoustic examples in the area of dynamic functions are more difficult to convey on the acoustic example via YT as far as compressors and limiters are concerned. I bought STREAMS primarily because I didn't have an envelope follower function apart from EARS. I wanted to expand this and of course I'm always happy to try out new possibilities. So: Well done, Bylant

    Vocals vocals vocals as you showed here. It truly shines here. It's worth really spending some time with it on vocals though, definitely a situation where employing a VCA or 2 to afford one's self some super fine tuning on whatever CV able parameters your ring mod has. Of course it's great for alienizing vox but with super fine adjustment and some time I was able to give an male baritone spoken voice actor a very authentic lisp. Very little else about the voice was different certainly no synthetic artifacts, just a very pronounced lisp. Another time I managed to change an American accent into rather posh English one, bizarre. There were other tonal differences but they didn't sound otherworldly an generally to the authenticity. Great Vid too.

  • @bylant
    @bylant9 ай бұрын

    Hi, the mic was plugged to the soundcard because phantom power was needed (and preamplification too). The effected and dry piano sound were recorded with the soundcard (that is why I used headphone) My inputs-outputs were: one input for piano, two inputs for the modular; two outputs to clouds and two outputs to my headphone.

    @@TheDavidPoole I use two older exp-sleep modules for these kinds of tasks, ES-3 and ES-6. They are super useful and they expand the capability of my modular in so many ways.

They are quite handy on stage giving you sequences and modulation and spear you from trouble of carrying more modular cases :)

    Hi, thanks, I’m glad that I could give you some inspiration. You should use input signal between 0-5 volts at least, or above that, and the attenuator on maximum with low threshold. The random function didn’t work (for me) with input signals between 0-2 volts.
