Jim Frye - Space Robots from Outer Space
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2012
This channel is where I post my space synthesizer soundscape creations and my Space Robots from Outer Space stop motion filming work. The music is completely original. I create complex patches using a virtual Eurorack modular synthesizer called VCV Rack. My patches usually mix Turing Machine type note sequencers and chaotic randomness to modulate and create generative evolving changes to the soundscape. Often the instruments "voices" have unusual characteristics, not trying to duplicate real instruments, but rather to be unreal. The "space" means it's usually pretty mellow, laid back, and relaxing, but some are more edgy. It's just a hobby. #spacerobotband
Space Robot Jam 2 VCV Patch
This is a redo of an older patch. I changed the lead into a more structured routine, and added some subtle drums. Three space robots walked into a bar and started playing this. This is a slow but groovy rhythm using Palette, a clone of Mutable Instruments Plaits for the guitar voices. Vult Flame adds the Marshall stack character. VCV Delay and an LFO creates a killer reel flanging effect. Squinky Labs Seq++ provides the backing rhythm, and Orange Line DeJavu creates the lead gates and notes. Robot sounds created by Clouds in Pitch shifter / Time stretcher mode. This soundscape will be used for a stop motion animated video featuring the Space Robots from Outer Space!

Making random based repeatable melodies with glides in VCV Rack
มุมมอง 201วันที่ผ่านมา
A quick tip on how to create random based, but repeatable melodies with glides. Those pesky Space Robots make an appearance.
Dude, What Was in That?

The challenge: Create a patch that generates sound effects, textures, music, or other synthetic sound to evoke a dreamlike state of consciousness. Limited to free VCV modules plus one additional plugins modules, and a single reverb module. I chose Plateau.
Space Robot Band - Planetary Rock

The Space Robot Band's first full music video Planetary Rock. These little robots can put down a mellow rockin' space jam rhythm. The music is from a VCV Rack patch. Tell me what you think!

This is a slow but rhythmic three piece space rock jam session. I created this soundscape for my new stop motion video. There is a complete patch breakdown of how it works. Some of the robots make a brief appearance. #spacerobotband

My first attempt at a stop motion space rock band video of them warming up the equipment. It's not perfect, but I had fun making it. Yippy... #spacerobotband #space_robots_from_outer_space

Dejavoodoo Two
มุมมอง 2418 หลายเดือนก่อน
It's a mellow jam where two stringed instruments trade and combine riffs. It's basically two Palette oscillators in inharmonic string modeling mode. Three other instruments alternate voicing. Nimbus in spectral clouds mode adds in some background sounds. All of the melody notes and triggers are coming from Orange Line Dejavu.

Euclidean rhythm drives two sample and holds reading from a summed network of three LFO sine waves to create the main melody in this spacey percussive ambient soundscape. This is a redo of a patch I made four years ago. I tweaked the original melody patch, slowed it down, changed the key, and added in some background sounds. Thanks to Lars for the idea.
Asynchronicity in Waves
มุมมอง 89010 หลายเดือนก่อน
Asynchronicity in Waves was heavily inspired by Lucid Rhythms, Hammer Waves, relaxing and calming ambient music. I used 8 offset tuned LFOs to generate the timing of the strings, and panned them across the stereo field. The resulting ever changing patters ebb and flow into and out of sync.
Extremely cool ! Thank you !
thanks!
Very cool! ❤
thank you!
This includes interesting technical explanations to understand the patch. I appreciate something beautiful and educational at the same time!
thank you!
Ohh.. Hell yes! Daddy likey! ;)
thanks lol :)
Oh yeah!... Keep it going baby! )
Thanks! Will do. :)
Great! Cool technique and cool music!
Thank you! I have a longer 5 minute version I will be posting.
This is really awesome Jim! Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome. :)
That is really GREAT! Me and ZoeTheRobot both love it !
Thank you Thomas and ZoeTheRobot!
Impressive work, you did all the audio on top of the video?
Thanks! Yes sir, the sounds are generated from a VCV Rack patch I put together.
Rich and contrasting in top and bottom. Love the minimalist approach. I seen people take far far more modules to do far less. NICE! ;)
thank you, I'm glad you liked it.
It is very cute, with the robots and the labels from the speaker, bender, just like in futurama ;-) in the future, Bender has a big speaker company.
thank you!
Really nice tune Jim! And I really like those videos, they're very funny 🙂 Gotta get me some of those Martian amps, they sound great.
Thanks buddy! They are really fun to make!
Hey Jammin Jimmy Frye rock on cuz
Thanks Dave!
This is really cool
Thank you!
Love it. Great explanation of what is doing what!
Glad you liked it! Thanks
Liked and subscribed! Like the groove, sounds, and education. You ask for suggestions . . . keep the descriptive overlays on for 3-5 more seconds for us slow readers. 😁
Hi Scott, welcome aboard. I am also a slow reader, but I was kinda forced into the quick overlays due to wanting to sync them with the already recorded audio. I get it though. Thanks for everything. :)
What a great performance! Educational and entertaining as well. Kudos!
thank you!
Nice
thanks!
That is a MOST EXCELLENT piece of art ! But with a name like the Krell, I expected more theremin music 😆😆😆😆
Thanks! I'm using Krell modulation by varying the rise and fall of a function generator for parts of the soundscape. But you're right it's not exactly the Forbidden Planet usage.
The music is cool, calming, and makes one wonder what's out there in space. Nice job, Jim!
thank you!
Yeah!
thanks Lars!
I assume this is a computer simulation of synthesizers you created. The closest thing I worked on was two 555 timers to generate noise.
sent the audio to a reverb and other effects and it can be awesome. :)
Nice! Like small ripples on quiet waters.
thank you
Beautiful work!
thank you!
Really nice Jim. I should get back into those Orange Line modules. They're somewhat cryptic but I know they can produce interesting results.
thanks Lars! I can't stop using the Dejavo module... :)
This is beautiful
thank you!
Never used Orange Line, but that sounds great👍
thanks!
Oh so very comfy
thanks!
Thought it's gonna be Deja Vu by the title, oops
cool
thank you!
Super patch, lovely musical sounds, I’m am intrigued with the sequencers that I am unfamiliar with. CornrowsX and SNS. Tell me more
Thanks! There is no traditional note sequencer, just 3 LFO's mixed, sampled, and quantized. CornrowsX is a clone of Braids. SNS is an euclidian rhythm sequencer.
Wow, I have done a little bit of lfo mixing and sampling for pitch and even some rhythms, but nothing as compelling as your patch!! Fine work
love the patch!!! good stuff
Thank you!
That's amazing! Is there any chance you can share this patch? I'm very curious how did you achieve this pendulum thing. I've tried playing around with quad algorithmic rhythm module to reproduce same effect, but had no luck.
I will add it to the patch storage site.

Thanks@@VeryFungi. Much appreciated!
Oh yeah, so nice! Thanks for the 2.0 Jim 🙂
It was fun! thanks for the inspiration. :)
Nice. It's using the same concept as that of visual patterns made by a set of swinging pendulums to make some music. The phasing in and out does its thing.
thanks!
@@VeryFungi BTW, I bet you could make this more compact if you were clever with poly cables. (A fair bit of modules on the screen support that feature.)
@@pauljs75 You're right, I didn't even think about it at the time. lol
Very cool! Where the guitar coming from? Is that the String VCO?
It's actually a VST running in Host. Thanks!
Very cool
Thank you!
Love the way it builds - really evocative and put lovely pictures in my head.
wow, thanks!
What is all of this on the screen? Looks pretty complicated.
It's called VCV Rack, a free euro-rack modular synthesizer emulator.
Thank you@@VeryFungi
Very nice
Thank you!
I really like this
Thank you!
nice and clean, like the pacing
thank you!
Nice patch
Thank you!
Lovely, a perfect welcome to a sunny Sunday morning here in NW Ohio.
It wasn't the direction I started out. But I enjoyed the trip! Thanks Dave!
small and nice. Great.
Thank you so much!
Really nice progression!
thank you!
Awesome, that XFX background whoosh is super cool!
thanks!
This is beautiful!
Thanks!
nice!!!
Thanks!
Very nice. Shame the cables are hidden.
Thank you! I will post the patch on patch storage dot com soon. I can also answer any questions you have.
