mattson with sample and hold driven percussion accents

Uploaded on Jan 12, 2013 hewstigator·20 videos

"here my mattson mini modular's sample and hold is driving an LFO clock rate which causes it to randomly generate percussion accent patterns. because i have the sample and hold sampling at the first stage of the sequencer (with the sequencer expansion gate output) it changes the accent pattern once for every loop of the sequencer.

i plugged in a bunch of division 6 jack lights to show you the output of the LFO to help you see how it is affecting the percussion accents."

Worth noting is that although the Mattson Mini Modular is a different physical format than eurorack, you can patch them together. I do so often. My Mattson Mini Modular is the heart of my modular system.

Jam with Samplr

Published on Jan 10, 2013 turnerofwheels·1 video

"I thought I'd upload my first look at Samplr, a fantastic sample performance app for iOS. Almost all source was created on this tablet, and it came out kinda IDM/anthem-y this time around. Percussion: iElectribe and custom modular patches in Audulus. Synths: Korg iPolysix and PPG Wavegenerator. Audiobus for all of the above. Additional material: BeatMaker 2. Sample editing/EQing: Auria (with FabFilter Pro-Q). With more practice I hope to get around the interface faster (also mix-wise the bass is a bit fuzzy and 'tubby' in spots here) but this is a start!"

MFB Step64 MIDI & Analog CV/Gate 64 Step Sequencer (16x4)

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"- step-sequencer with up to 64 steps
- up to 4-voice polyphony (16 steps)
- 4 banks with 118 memory locations each
- midi in/out and 4 x cv/gate outs
- programmmable velocity, gate-time and 2 x cv outs
- 15 shuffle settings
- 16 song memory locations each with up to 128 sequences

the mfb-step64 is a step-sequencer with up to 64 monophonic steps, or 16 step lengths that are 4-voice polyphonic (for example). in monophonic mode it is possible to enter 16 steps with five parameters each, 32 steps with 3 parameters each or any combination with an order of 64 total note on/off steps. additional parameters can include velocity, gate-time (1/6 to 6/6) or 2 control voltages for additonal control (e.g. filter cutoff). the cv can be changed per step. you may also use the mfb-step64 for 2 monophonic sequences with 3 parameters, for 4 monophonic sequences or as a 4-voice polyphonic note on/off sequencer. each mode has 118 separate memory locations. you may include pauses into a sequence as well as legato notes by pressing two or more notes next to each other. on mode 4 (4-voice, polyphonic) you can easily create chords (e.g. major, minor). each sequence can use one of 15 shuffle settings to give it more liveliness. additionally, the song mode allows you to create a structure out of the existing sequences with up to 128 steps. transposition of the sequence is directly possible by the sequence buttons or via midi. the mfb-step64 is 175 x 125 x 38/72 mm in size and comes with an external power supply. also included are two adaptor cables for the cv/gate outputs."

"First, the synth was given a thorough cleaning inside and out. Among other things, this included removing all of the infamous black goo from the top PCB caused by deteriorated foam dust cover. The plastic side panels and control surface were carefully cleaned using specially selected products. Finally, the keyboard was completely taken apart and each key was washed, individually and by hand.
Second, all of the slide pots and switches were replaced using new parts of the correct value. I purchased a kit bought from Technology Transplant, which is one of the few companies that still sells restoration kits for the MG-1. As a part of this sale, you will also receive a set of brand-new, never-used slider tips and knobs, which came with the Technology Transplant kit. (The knobs and tips on the instrument are all original, as far as I can tell, and are in great shape still.)

Finally, the MG-1 was taken to a professional synth technician (Dean of Five Star Engineering in Mesa, Arizona), for all remaining electronics work. Dean repaired the out-of-spec power-supply circuit by replacing a defective voltage regulator; repaired the keyboard-current circuit by replacing a defective integrated circuit; replaced the defective LED; cleaned the key contacts; and finally, performed a full calibration of the instrument.

In short, this MG-1 is clean and sounds great, exactly as it was designed to. You would be hard-pressed to find a cleaner, better-sounding MG-1!"

Introducing the MODSEQ by Din Sync

Published on Jan 12, 2013 phono1337·108 videos

"more info at http://www.dinsync.info"

"Here's a quick demonstration of the first eurorack offering this year, it's the MODSEQ. An 8HP eight step roto sequencer with a difference, it only has four knobs! Essentially the MODSEQ is aimed at those times you need an extra sequencer for doing modulations, the effect is something akin to a sample and hold, but programable rather than random. Of course adding a clock divider and patching up the reset alows you to use it as a standard four step sequencer. You can even drive the clock at audiorates and use it as a square wave oscillator. These will be shipping in around three weeks, and as usual the waiting list is now open, pricing tbc, but it most likey be our cheepest offering to date. So if you want to get on the waiting list, drop a line to info@dinsync.info"

"You are looking at a really nice Prophet 5 Synthesizer, version 3.3 with MIDI installed. The unit works perfectly with no issues. In the past year, it's been to Wine Country Productions for the installation of a new battery and a general health check up and calibration. About 3 years ago, the keyboard bushings were all replaced, so the keyboard plays as good as possible. The wood is good to excellent in condition with a few minor scratches here and there. One small gouge on a bottom corner also - not really seen. Front panel, as shown, is also excellent with only one small scratch along the top. Comes with factory patches installed and with the Prophet 5 Technical manual, a 3 ring binder with tons of info on servicing and maintenance."

"Our new website will be going live very soon at http://www.x0xclones.com where we will be providing information and reviews on clones and software emulations of the Roland SH-101, TB-303, TR-808 and TR-909. You can follow us on twitter at @x0xclones (https://twitter.com/x0xclones). More videos to come so make sure you subscribe to our channel!

This is the second video in our series demonstrating the Cyclone Analogic Bass Bot TT-303 - a recently released clone of Roland's TB-303. Here I use Pitch Mode to program a pattern. I've used Slide and Accent so you can see how they sound on the TT-303. I also demonstrate both the saw and square waveforms at different settings.

If you haven't seen it already check out our unboxing video, where I show you around the unit itself (the knobs, tri-colour LEDs, ports, obvious differences, etc.) http://youtu.be/tpQSI9atFaE
