It’s time for Syntakt Science Lab #19 with two analog machines: SD FM and SD Hard. Let’s hope we can find more inspiration this time.
The usual:
Post your contributions in this thread, including…
And as always, have fun 
General Science Lab rules, discussions on upcoming Labs etc:
I’ve always been a fan of SD FM, but it’s a lot more versatile than I initially thought. 3x SD FM. Basic groove is one track, the chirpy sound fx another and one for the melodic part.
Sounds awesome! Thick, punchy sounds and your signature groovy beats 
Thanks! I’m just listening back on headphones and there’s some kick drums with girth coming out of this snare
Aciiiid
track 09: SD FM → kick+perc
track 10: SD Hard → hihat
track 11: SD FM → bassline → FX-track(max drive)
(straight from ST)
@ElectricBear When we started out with the Science Labs, I wanted to make a drum n bass snippet for each lab. I fell off that quite quickly, but I’m happy to see you take the acid baton for the labs! 
Three snippets:
Slow melodies, courtesy of SD FM. Tweaking LFO speed to match the pitch which is quite tedious but can give some pretty results. Almost Juno-like in the beginning.
Three tracks of SD FM.
Some 90s space acid or something? Bass and hihat through the FX track for some auto-panning and phasing swirl. Three tracks of SD FM.
Trying to squeeze something out of SD Hard as well. A portamento riff with lots of delay. Two tracks of SD Hard.
Excellent stuff as usual. That first one is a really nice synth sound 
It was never my intention to go acid on every lab, but the last ones are all in the same project, so maybe with a lot of extra work they might end up in a liveset in the future? I’m also trying to get better at doing acid house, so it’s also a bit of a learning school.
I would’ve liked to listen to some d&b contributions coming from your hand for all the labs! 
Like the new snippets! You always manage to make’m sound great and well balanced.
Back to the SSL game
One groovy and one more wonky, using SD hard for the drums and bass and the fm for the top lines.
I love how the sd hard saturates when you add hp with resonance.
Adding movement through the fx track on both.
Also learning to leave empty space in the patterns, making it sound more intentional
@Oxenholme Thanks
@ElectricBear Thank you
It’s definitely worth considering. I’m actually going through all my SSL recordings these days, trying to pick the better ones and with time develop them into a release.
@mishpult Great to have you back Solid stuff, love both of them. That bass in the first one 
Rough and ready. Three tracks of SD FM, played in turn because it’s cacophonic with all three at once. With track 10 I alternate between a page using velocity mod, and a page with different notes to affect filter tracking.
FX block for some bouncy delays, and additional notch filtering.
Hopefully more to come, conscious that I’ve been slacking on the labs lately.
Who needs a modular 
Excellent analogue bubblebath 
That’s the second page of track 10. Glad you like my usual semi-random note choice…
Will see if I can build something from it.
Thanks @marccc !
Not much time for music lately, but managed to squeeze in some.
Here are three oddballs. All roughly in the same landscape.
SD Hard for the chords, SD FM for the percussion track. Lots of FX track colouring.
An angry and weird one. SD FM for all tracks.
Semi-melodic thing… 3x SD FM.

Find myself back at home after a transport enormity this morning, and make up for it with a quick ST lab session.
One SD FM, one SD Hard, FX lock trigs changing the LFO destinations and mults, plus an unrestrained melee of Ctrl-All on top.
In short, another ploppy one.
i’m always amazed how diverse the syntakt can sound, you’re doing excellent job guys
uff, those sound simply great, especially love the first one´s chords
With apologies to those of refined tastes, really not sure how I ended up here. 1 x SD FM, 1 x SD Hard, FX block filter excess, LFO to Sweep Depth gone amok:
Some quick nonsense.
More weird stuff. Krautrock melodies?
3x SD FM, audio rate LFOs FM on all sounds. LFO affecting delay time for chorus effect.
