HELL F.O
HELL F.O - HELLEPHANT MAN (HWJ Weekend Challenge David Lynch - #jamuary2025 N°19)
updated
First jam just to scratch the surface of this awesome and unpredictable FM beast!
Enjoy!
"OPERA ROTAS is a mutant, generative drum machine. It's built around a Yamaha OPL2 FM audio chip, a close cousin of the one used in the Sega Genesis / Megadrive consoles.
At the core, it has a real Yamaha OPL2 audio chip and live sounds bonkers, brutal. It's all body and weight while being crystal clear and punchy. The videos don't do aural justice but it serves to get an idea."
Game on!
Distant drones and clicky drums from a different dimension..
Mescaline is not only capable of haunting tones but also of weird stuff and yes I love this machine from @folktek Arius Blaze a lot!
I wanna thank you everybody for the constant support and inspiration for my channel..it really means a lot!
We are a great digital harware-heads community and family!!!

Music is life.
"Per Aspera Ad Astra".
You can find everything in both life and music in fact we have some pros (0:05) and cons (1:06).
Sometimes there's some silence (2:46) and sometimes we have to raise our voice (5:20)!
And fortunately life provides some hidden pleasure..(4:33).
This is an important jam for me..
It's these times' mirror..
"Per aspera ad astra - through difficulties to the
stars. Your challenge this weekend is to make
a jam using this old motto of encouragement.
There are several ways of doing this. You
might make a jam slowly building from chaos
into something structured and uplifting. Or you
can challenge yourself to tackle something
really difficult musically and be prepaired to
struggle through the weekend for a stellar jam
Or make a jam focusing on encouraging and
uplifting themes - what kind of jam would you
make to encourage someone going through a
difficult time in life?"

"Korg Monotribe inspired EP for a strictly analogue hardware experience where drones merge with voices and weird fxs that lead the listener into the sonic void."

I was lucky enough to stumble across some interesting radio channel trasmitting a curious middle East vibes.
P.S. Of course the radio has an audio output but why keep it simple right?!
When someone ask me: "Why?" my answer always will be: "Why not?!"!
Hope you'll enjoy!

In the city of Birmingham one of the most (if not The most) important band of all time was born from the meeting of four guys from Aston district that loved horror movies.
Mario Bava's "I tre volti della paura" was named "Black Sabbath" in the english version and that was it; the band formed by Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward and John "Ozzy" Osbourne found its name changing music history forever.
Today, 5 July 2025 at Villa Park in Aston, Birmingham takes place the "Back To The Beginning" concert which is intended to be the last Ozzy live show with the original band line-up.
This jam humbly pays homage to something which always has been much more than just a musical band for me, pure inspiration, embryonic element and portal to a whole new genre we call Heavy Metal today that would never have existed without Black Sabbath.
3 self resonating (No Input) Digitech Death Metal distortion units try to recreate some dark and gloomy drones summoned by The Wizard!
"What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn around quick, and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one
Oh nooo!"
PRAISE
IOMMI
For this weekend challenge I used the Monotron Delay couple resonating whithin themselves to open a new stereo dimension!
Hope you like it!

"Cacophonix embodies the essence of a slow-burner harsh noise generator, where its full potential is realized through delicate and gradual adjustments of its unnamed knob. It is tailored for those with patience and with unhurried exploration of the abyss. This experimental noise synthesizer seamlessly integrates and directly derived from a low-fidelity audio processor and powered by a Boolean logic, offering a unique and immersive sonic experience."

Hope you'll enjoy the jam cause these toys are sooo fun!
Drone Boy 2:
Drone Boy 2 is a compact, hand-built analog synthesizer designed for creating rich, immersive drone soundscapes. It has three oscillators with different pitch, mute button for each oscillator and a headphone amp with stereo output.
Alvearium:
Alvearium is a analog drone synthesizer based on the 40106 hex schmitt trigger chip with three oscillators which can be modulated by another oscillators. You can control the pitch either by potentiometers or by touching the hexagons touch plates.
Tumultuor:
It’s an analog experimental synthesizer with four oscillators based on the 4093 NAND, pretty radical low pass filter with squealing resonace and power starve potentiometer to glitch it even more!
Krackatone:
Krackatone is a analog crackle box and sound destroyer based on the 386 op amp inspired by Nicolas Collins designes. Touch multiple touch plates to produce crackling and glitching noises or plug in some sound and corrupt it.

The ‘free’ (or better: ‘pay what you want’) plugin EB-Blasphemy by developer @ewanbristow is an impressive generative multi-effects processor designed specifically for editing and transforming drum loops. Aimed at experimental and ‘glitchy’ Aphex Twin-style breakbeat productions, it offers sonic possibilities that are ideal for breakcore or other electronic music genres that rely more on unconventional rhythmic structures and a wide range of effects.

You never have enough Monotrons right?!
I'll take part to next monday HWJ "Drone" challenge with a self resonating droning Monotron Delay couple.
This tiny but huge device was my first piece of electronic gear ever and even today it never ceases to amaze me with its dirty and gritty attitude!
LET'S JAM!!!

Enjoy and relax I hope!
I read the (online) manual! :)
Discovering that in Korg Monotribe Version 2.1 there's an interesting S&H feature!
Sample & Hold (S & H) added to the LFO
The S&H function is indispensable for creating mysterious analog synth sound effects. The RATE knob adjusts the frequency of change, and the INT. knob adjusts the depth of change.
“What is Sample & Hold?”
Unlike traditional LFO waveshapes that provide a constantly changing signal, the Sample & Hold feature takes a “sample” of the LFO signal and holds that level for a specific duration of time. The results are the highly popular and slightly random stepped-filter effects so famously used in analog synthesizers. By using noise as the input signal, the monotribe version 2 lets you create effects that change in a distinctively random manner.

The Bleep Drum is an Arduino (ATmega328) based lo-fi rad-fi drum machine designed by Dr. Bleep. It was originally sold from 2013-2016, first for Dam Funk as the Dam Drum, then as the Bleep Drum.
– Four sounds, two with pitch control
– Wonderfully crunchy 8 bit DAC output at ~10kHz sample rate
– Four selectable sequences with 32 steps each.
– Record patterns just by playing them. The built in quantizer keeps hits where you want them.
– Click track
– Tap tempo
– Reverse mode
– Noise mode (expanded in new version)
– 9V battery powered

(From Sid's Tindie page):
"Alvearium is a analog drone synthesizer based on the 40106 hex schmitt trigger chip with three oscillators which can be modulated by another oscillators. You can control the pitch either by potentiometers or by touching the hexagons touch plates."
I added NTS-1 couple for delay, reverb, filters and a kind of weird distortion/bit crusher (?) fx.

Damn I love this machine a lot!
Wish it had separate drums output though!

So I can't miss this week HWJ DOOM challenge for sure!
I messed around with @ZElTGElST (Spherical Sound Society) Arcane and Glitch Storm for some 8bit beats and texture to sweep away hell from Earth!
It's rumored that Doomguy use to be a great hardware synths aficionados when not busy to kill demons so follow and help him to fight hell with music!
