Funky Feline - Teenage Engineering OP-1 Josh Is Making Music 2024-07-25 | Here's a song written and recorded (Saved? Stored?) on the Teenage Engineering OP-1. It was originally entitled "Catnap," but since the video's lead actor decided to start circling madly and knocking stuff over on the desk once I hit "record," I felt an update to the title was in order. Cast shame upon my frantic gremlin of a cat (but not really, he's very nice and his name is Thor and we love him very much).Coming to Spotify once Distrokid decides to get their act together, which is to say, I only just submitted it today.

Chromatic Nebula - Teenage Engineering OP-1 Josh Is Making Music 2024-06-07 | The OP-1 is often described as a "sketchpad," or as a way to "jot down ideas," but I feel that it's a fully-fledged songwriting platform in its own right.

I'm actually just covering my three favorites, they've got an exhaustive list on their website. I've been really impressed by the support Roland have given the MKII. It was a huge leap forward right out of the gate, and it's only gotten better and more powerful as time has gone on.

Ambient Lead Patching On The Moog Matriarch! Josh Is Making Music 2024-03-21 | It's Matriarch time, babyyyyyyy. I hope it's fine that everything I make with the Matriarch is piano player noodling turned into spacey ambience. If Moog didn't want every Matriarch patch to be drenched in delay, they shouldn't have put such a nice delay chip in their synth. Not that I'm complaining...Thanks for stopping by to listen. Feel free to ask questions if there's anything you're curious about regarding the patching, the Matriarch, or some other third thing.

Songwriting On The Synthstrom Deluge OLED! Josh Is Making Music 2024-02-09 | I've had the OLED retrofit to my Synthstrom Deluge for a little while now, but I haven't done a Deluge-centric video since getting it... until now! I was a bit skeptical of the OLED screen and loved the oddly low-tech charm of the original 7-segment display, but now that I've had the retrofit done, I don't think I could go back. It doesn't add new functionality, but instead makes the existing functionality much easier to visually comprehend and appreciate.

An Acceptance Of Endings - Synthstrom Deluge, Yamaha QY-70 Josh Is Making Music 2023-11-26 | All physical media will eventually be gone, due either to intentional destruction, the eroding power of the winds of time, or some other third factor that I didn't think of while writing this description. I was thinking about the inherent ephemerality oh physical media while writing this song. It's sort of beautiful to think that, when you listen to a tape, it'll never sound exactly the same again. This song was made with the Synthstrom Deluge, Yamaha QY-70, and Chase Bliss Generation Loss MK II. The QY-70 is handling the arpeggio that starts at the beginning of the song, the Gen Loss is making it sound a little more wobbly and crunchy, and the Deluge is covering everything else.

Can A Cassette Player Be A Musical Instrument? Josh Is Making Music 2022-10-11 | I love the sound of tape, and wanted to share how a cassette player can be a fully-fledged instrument in its own right. This video isn't meant as a response to anyone I saw online casting doubt on the instrumentality of tape players, it's just a thing I wanted to talk about. The prescient Spongebob reference to make here would be "Is mayonnaise an instrument?" And, well... give me some more time and I'll see what I can do.Tape Loop Tutorial By @AMULETS : youtube.com/watch?v=hER3s1NPr_U&ab_channel=AMULETSMy Favorite Gear (These are affiliate links, I receive a percentage of any purchases made on Perfect Circuit after clicking these links):Korg Prologue 8: bit.ly/3RQafVFMoog Matriarch: bit.ly/3MjuKswElektron Digitone: bit.ly/3ekBGcsSP-404 MKII: bit.ly/3rJ1xh7Volca Sample 2: bit.ly/3emGWfFPO-33 KO: bit.ly/3Ve1tn4Walrus Audio Lore: bit.ly/3ej1FAVElectro-Harmonix Canyon: bit.ly/3SZvuoWLinks!My Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/2KEX4Auj2HnneGHOas8Evc?si=AiQMj7eARzuoVtsIJ7HjTAYou can find my twitter here: twitter.com/JoshMakeMusicMy Bandcamp here: joshismakingmusic.bandcamp.comAnd download my sample packs here: gumroad.com/joshismakingmusicChapters:00:00 Introduction01:18 Demo Explanation04:38 Musical Demo07:35 Demo Wrap-up10:03 Outro
The Casio CZ-5000 Is A MIGHTY Synth! Josh Is Making Music 2022-10-02 | Oops, this video's gonna go live a day later than I planned... sorry about that.The Casio CZ-5000 is such a cool and interesting synth. Although the Phase Distortion synthesis is a great feature on its own, the addition of that 8-track sequencer is killer. I wish Casio would do a modern remake of the CZ-5000. With a higher-quality screen, expanded patch memory, and velocity and aftertouch, a CZ-5000 revival would be amazing. Though I doubt it'll ever happen. But fortunately, we've got the original!

Growth - Synthstrom Deluge Josh Is Making Music 2022-09-19 | Here's a Synthstrom Deluge track off of an album called "Foliage" that I'm currently working on. The title is not definite yet, and the release date is a solid "when it's finished..." but I thought you might enjoy hearing this track! I haven't done the Deluge OLED screen upgrade yet, apologies to anyone who's allergic to seven-segment displays. Thanks so much for stopping by to give this song a listen!
