- Scappa from Alessandro Cortini's album Forse 3 was made on the original Buchla Music Easel prototype. Here is an attempt to replicate it on the Make Noise Easel (0-CTRL, 0-COAST, Strega), plus some shimmer reverb.

PATCH NOTES:
0-CTRL top row CV out >> Strega 1v/oct (Tuning: G - A - B - D - A - B - D - D )
0-CTRL middle row CV out >> 0-COAST 1v/oct (Tuning: D - D - D - D - C# - C# - C# - A)
(A is the highest note, and on the max position on the 0-CTRL knob - If I remember correctly, I even had to pitch up the 0-COAST itself a bit to reach it. So tune the A first, and then D & C#) - You can check out the notes also here, I used this to figure out the melodies: onlinesequencer.net/3318350)
0-CTRL touch cv out >> Strega Tones
0-COAST clocked by tapping (the original is about 153 bpm). Clock out >> Contour Gate in >> Strega envelope trigger gate in
0-COAST random voltage out >> Strega decay
0-COAST saw wave out >> Strega external input in
Strega envelope out >> activation
Strega and 0-COAST go into an audio interface for the ipad. In AUM I added Eventide Shimmerverb and a DIY miRack/vcv rack patch for a more intense shimmer reverb (using Plateau and a pitch-shifting feedback loop) that I turn up towards the end, plus activating the hold function in Plateau for total reverb madness.
Yessss thank you!!
Very well done, impressed.
Your Cortini´s covers are awesome 👍
wow this is amazing, what a great tribute to alessandro to play it on the strega too
Thanks - I have another one of his coming up, still practicing ;-)
Gorgeous
WOW! This session was epic!
This is simply BRILLIANT. Thank you for sharing
Radical! Cheers to you, and great effort, sounding, image, patching explanation. Great video of a great track
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice!
Well done, not only the perfect execution but the sound and picture quality is on spot aswell, making it really easy to watch.
Thanks - Actually I also filmed a second angle, but I think in this case it distracts too much, so I scrapped it. But I‘m currently working on a very cinematic video, hope to finish it after the next Cortini cover that I‘m currently also setting up.
@@malwida1022 yeah, I like this format! I also have the make noise easel and I guess I have Cortini to thank for that :). Your video is very inspiring, gonna keep follow your stuff.
Bravo 👏👏🎶
❤Thank you for sharing this wonderful work. I have a 0-Coast myself, I am thinking now that maybe I should expand and get the Strega and 0-CTRL as well
They complain about loneliness when they are not together. Run along and get the rest of the family. 🕶
Damn dude. Well done!
nice, thanks for the very cool sound design and for the notes as well !
hells yeah
Nice!
super!
Very nice 👊🔥
This was really, really GOOD.
Thanks!
Seriously awesome work on this Malwida !
Thank you!
Wow, well done!
Thank you - Actually he did, I posted it on Instagram and he shared it on his account for a day or so. You can see his comment here: instagram.com/reel/CrJlY6MAxpv/?
beautiful
Thank you!
intimate;-)
splendid, will have to check out your own stuff
An amazing performance!
Thank you!

Love it. Love it. Love it.
Thank you!

I'm a massive fan of this track by Alessandro... I can't decide if this or Everything Ends Here is my favourite track overall but I will say that of the two, this is the more technically challenging in my listeners opinion, and in my opinion - you did a bloody good job.... nice one.
Thank you!
Thinking of it, Everything ends here may also be a fun one to recreate…. I‘ll look into it 😊
@@malwida1022 I realise that every electronic project is a big deal... but... doooooo iiiiit... It's a duet but you're not talking about playing it live.... it's such an uplifting and awesome track... i'd both watch and share it if you did... i'm just one dude... But I would...
@@mikeyoukami OK so I figured out the melodies... in fact it's just a single 8 step sequence with 3 different voltages per step, but done in a very clever way... so should be doable with the 0-CTRL, let's see... (I also got a hunch that the design of the 0-CTRL was done deliberately to enable it for this type of usage)

This is beautiful. Would you be willing to share your patch notes on this?
Sure, see comment pinned to top. Thanks for your nice comment.
Great work, and thanks for sharing.
What are the little tick marks on some of the knobs on your Strega for?
Thank you - the marks are from another show I had to prepare last year which was quite complex to set up, so I marked the initial positions for the knobs to save some brain power (marks pointing straight up indicates the initial position - I stole that trick from some rig rundown video from a band I don‘t remember now)
oh yeah and they were supposed to come off easily again, but in reality not so much 😂
@@malwida1022 hah, fuck yeah, thanks for the clarification!
I would love to learn more about how you approached this cover. Covering a guitar based song with AB parts is hard enough. But an instrumental track like this which seems to evolve over time, with so much sound design involved, and you still totally nail the emotion of it. How long did it take you? What was difficult? How did you approach it overall? So curious.
I saw videos from Alessandro playing this live on the buchla easel, and understanding the limitations of the buchla, I thought it can‘t be that complicated. In these videos you can see him playing the 4 lower notes on the main touchplates and the 3 higher notes for the lead voice on the stored voltages touchplates. I don‘t have a good ear for pitch, so figuring out the notes was the hard part for me. Next problem was the limitations of the 0-ctrl, you have 3 stored voltages for each of the 8 stages, but of course you can only play 1 stage at a time, so doing 2 independent melodies required a workaround… I noticed he mostly plays certain notes over certain other notes, so instead of 4*3 = 12 combinations I simplified it to 8. So you can‘t replicate all the melodic counterpoint nuances from the original, but you‘re 90% there. Sound design was the easy part, as I didn‘t intend to fully replicate the original sound, but rather do the strega version. The original uses the Strymon Blue Sky, I used an Eventide Shimmerverb in the iPad and another over-the-top shimmer reverb patch I built in miRack/vcv rack some time ago. Then coming up with a strategy to keep building up the sound over time and practicing a bit after studying the original performance videos. I think this was my 3rd recorded take, still lots of mistakes, but that‘s ok, AC also leaves his in the recordings, after all it‘s played live and not sequenced… my favorite parts of the original are where he hangs out on one note to tweak the lead voice and adding more reverb, and then moving on with the lower melody while the lead note stays… In hindsight I should have done that more often… oh and I also should drink more water or calibrate my touchplates, they failed a couple of times to register the touch as you can see… so in total I‘d say I spent a full day on it, but spread out over 1 week or so… it’s a fun patch & melody to play. Thanks for listening!
@@malwida1022 man that’s awesome and I SO appreciate the explanation. Very inspiring. It really helps to hear how much effort went into it. It takes so much work when I try and put something together and everything that goes up on TH-cam and Instagram make it all look easy, so I started to wonder if I was just really bad at all of it. But it is hard and time consuming for everyone I guess! I love how you approached this and the hybrid setup you use, which I do as well. And I agree with leaving the imperfections - well, when I hear them from someone else, lol. It’s hard to know which ones are okay for myself. It’s nice to find someone else who connects with AC’s music as much as I do! Thanks for sharing tour process! SO appreciate it!!!
@@michaelkonomos yeah that‘s the unhealthy side of social media in a way… I thought about explaining parts of that in the video itself, but I‘m not a „TH-camr“ and it‘s too much work… so glad you asked and I could stick that in the comments 😉 - This is the first time I did a synth cover version, and it was more about solving the puzzles and to better understand AC’s approach in general. What really made my day as an AC fanboy was that Alessandro commented on it on Instagram and shared the reel on his account for a while.
Amazing.
An interesting sonic piece (Cover). But for Scappa, slow the main melody down. You're touching the keypad too quickly sort of not knowing the slow dramatic of this intensely beautiful song. And you don't nail the ending. The original has a beautiful slow growing beat that hits intensity in that final act of the song that ends with an almost guitar feedback resonance. Good job though. I like that gear my friend.
Friends don't tell other friends that their tempo is off ;-) Looking at Alessandro's live performance video, I think the clock runs at about the same rate. I couldn't replicate the parts where he plays the shorter melody over each of the bass notes, because the 0-ctrl only has 8 stages and not 12, as I explained in another comment. I'm currently working on a non-sequenced version of "Everything ends here", where I already know tempo will be a challenge, because when you get excited, you're bound to hit the keys faster... oh, and I think there is also plenty of feedback to go around at the end ;-)
@@malwida1022 :D Good one. Experimentation and feedback is fun. This is a good video. I'm planning a short film production at the moment. My buddy and I are planning the soundtrack & always looking for new gear & I never knew about this Make Noice set up. I'm super into Tangerine Dream and those early electronic sound set ups. Thanks for the introduction to this. (Thumbs up)
@@ZexoZ8 This combination of the make noise 0-ctrl, 0-coast and strega is informally called the make noise easel, in reference to the Buchla music easel, which also has touchplates, 2 main oscillators and a west coast synthesis approach. You can use the 0-ctrl also as a sequencer, so it may be suitable for tangerine dream type of stuff as well…
@@malwida1022 Now ease in a beauiful effected Les Paul guitar and everything has turned into Trip-Out-Central.
@@ZexoZ8 I have a feeling something like that may turn up on this channel at some point…
Nice!
Thank you!
