Volca Bass and Beats 1st Acid Test

Published on Oct 1, 2013 darenager·122 videos

"Quick and dirty first test of the Volca Bass and Beats for acid house, I only use 1 oscillator on the Bass for clarity, and to more closely follow the convention of the TB-303, personally I think the filter in the Monotribe is more acidic than the one in the Volca Bass, which does not seem to have a very "liquid" sounding resonance, still it is a nice machine, and the sequencer is a lot of fun.

Please note this is just a demo of the acid capability, the Volca Bass is capable of more than I show in this video, I will be featuring the Volca series in more videos, exploring some other stuff, also I plan on selling mod kits, so keep an eye on my channel, and if you have not already feel free to subscribe. Thanks for watching and check out my other videos for more acid and techno jams."

Future Retro Announces Release of New Mondovox Product


"The Mondovox provides new ways to play, control, and breathe new life into MIDI sound modules. The Mondovox allows you to play up to 16 monophonic synthesizers polyphonically, in ways you would expect to find in features-laden polysynths, and also expanding upon those ideas for many new and exciting possibilities such as three new detune modes for creating truly massive sounds.

Although it's designed to play multiple monosynths (such as our popular XS semi-modular synthesizer), the Mondovox can be used with any monophonic, polyphonic, multitimbral or single voice, analog, digital, virtual synthesizers or samplers.... it doesn't matter, as long as it has MIDI.

With the plethora of inexpensive monophonic synthesizers being manufactured at this time, we believe the Mondovox is the ideal solution to expand their capabilities to include new polyphonic possibilities.

We are now taking pre-orders, and expect the first orders to begin shipping in as soon as 1 week.

List price is $300 USD.

Each unit comes with a universal power supply that can operate at 100~240V mains voltages, and includes an assortment of power plugs for various countries.

For more information, please vist the Mondovox product page at:
http://www.future-retro.com/mondovoxoverview.html"

Additional details and specs for the archives:

"The Modovox takes polyphonic MIDI data and translates it to so that each voice is on its own MIDI channel.

There are nine different polyphonic modes of operation:

UNISON: Stack up to 16 voices to play in unison for one big sound. Unlike traditional polysynths that only allow you to play a single note while in unison mode, the Mondovox allows you to play up to 16 notes simultaneously, creating huge unison chords. Obviously, this will depend on the available voices in the sound module you are controlling. While digital and virtual analog synths usually provide high voice counts to support these unison chords, controlling analog monosynths in this way will activate their auto-glide portamento circuitry.

UNISON DETUNE: Three Unison Detune modes -- detune down, detune up/down, and detune up -- allow you to play up to 16 notes in unison, as well as detune all voices to varying degrees simply by moving the pitch bender. Once you discover this feature, you will wonder how you ever made music without it. As you increase the pitch bender value, small amounts of detune will create "true chorus" effects, unlike traditional cyclic DSP chorusing effects. Increase the pitch bender more to discover that you can make any sound module take on that "super saw"-like quality, although obviously you're not limited to just sawtooth waveforms. Increase the pitch bender even more and sounds take on buzzing swarm effects, and finally as you move into extreme settings, a dark side reveals itself, producing eerie dissonant sound effects perfect for any scary movie. Releasing the pitch bender retains the degree of detuning so you're free to concentrate on playing and tweaking your sounds. Moving the pitch bender in the negative range will then clear the detune setting, bringing all voices back into perfect unison.

Just like in Unison mode, you can play up to 16 of these detuned unison voices polyphonically, so long as your sound module supports that many voices. By the way, that's 256 voices, for those wondering. Let's just say you haven't experienced "phat" until you've tried the Mondovox!

Another interesting fact about these detune modes is that you can detune the voices, then select a different polyphonic mode in the Mondovox and it will remember the detuning for each voice. This capability creates a wonderfully simplistic way to get boring "perfectly tuned" digital synths out of their static element and into new experimental territory.

UNISON POLY: In this mode, playing a single note will cause all active voices to play in unison. Playing a second note will reassign half the voices to the new note value, and playing additional notes will further allocate the available voices as evenly as possible between the number of notes currently being played. Unison Poly mode allows the overall weight of a musical part to remain fairly consistent when alternating between playing single notes and chords.

DON'T PANIC: If you are an intergalactic traveller you probably already know what this mode is for. However for those of you who aren't, it's simply a means for you to stay calm if the sound module you are controlling is not be able to comprehend the large amounts of MIDI data the Mondovox is capable of producing. In other words, it sends an "All Notes Off" MIDI message to clear voices should they become latched. Selecting the proper processor routing mode (mentioned later), will usually elliminate the need for such panic.

POLY RANDOM: Poly Random mode allows notes played to be randomly sent to 1 of up to 16 voices, adding more variation from one note to the next when similar sounds are played. You may also assign different sounds to each MIDI channel within a sound module, and this mode will then randomly play those different sounds at the current pitch.

POLY CHASE: This mode plays one available voice after another sequentially. Sometimes this is referred to as "round robin." Poly Chase ensures that if you play a single note repeatedly, that it will sound slightly different with each new key press. In addition, the Mondovox lets you use this mode as a psuedo sequencer, allowing you to play different sounds sequentially on different MIDI channels. You can set the loop point from 1 to 16 steps by the number of voices you define. The Mondovox will reset to begin playing voice 1 each time you select this mode.

POLY FIRST: Poly First mode always plays voice 1 first, and as more notes are played simultaneously, voices 2, 3, 4, etc. will sound. Repeatedly playing and releasing a single note will allow voice 1 to play only. This feature allows the voices played to be more predictable with repeatable results.

CHORD MEM: While in Poly First mode, you can play and hold up to 16 notes, and switch to the Chord Memory selection to latch the chord into memory. You can then play that same chord by playing a single note on your MIDI controller. The root of the latched chord will be the first note you played while in Poly First mode. Not only can you play chords with single keys, you can play up to 16 transpositions of this chord by playing up to 16 keys. Of course this will be limited by the number of available voices in the sound module you are controlling.

DEFINE VOICES: When in Define Voices mode, you can enter the number of voices to be enabled by simply tapping a key on your MIDI controller once for each voice. The number of voices defined will remain in memory even when the unit is turned off.

DEFINE ROUTING: This mode determines how MIDI is handled by each of the four internal MIDI processors. Routing 1 allows each of the four processors to play all 16 MIDI channels -- useful when controlling a multitimbral sound module and you only need to use a single MIDI output. However, you could connect up to 16 multitimbral sound modules to play giant stacks of up to 256 voices at once using all available MIDI Out ports. Routing 2 assigns each processor to handle four MIDI channels in sequential order, allowing faster MIDI timing than the Routing 1 option while still maintaining easy routing when using lower voice counts. Routing 3 assigns each processor to handle every fourth MIDI channel, provideing the fastest MIDI timing, as four notes can be sent over MIDI simultaneously. The routing selection is stored in memory even when power is turned off.

The Mondovox will detect the MIDI channel of the first note it receives after being powered on, and it will automatically set the incoming MIDI channel to that value.

A universal DC power supply is provided with each unit, that can operate anywhere in the world.

Each Mondovox is handmade in the USA using only the finest components, with a great deal of attention going into every unit. A rugged all-steel chassis makes this unit nearly indestructible, and the unique finishing technique used on the brushed stainless steel front panels is truly an industry first.

Although simple in its design with only a single control, the Future Retro Mondovox offers an amazing range of possibilities!
A must-have piece for any MIDI user."

WMD Triple Bipolar VCA Eurorack Module

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

via this auction - learn how to sell on eBay here
Perfect Circuit Audio (RSS)

"The WMD Triple Bipolar VCA, the input side expansion for our Phase Displacement Oscillator. This module provides dedicated inverting/polarizing/bipolar amplitude modulating inputs normaled to the Phase Modulation inputs on the PDO.

A bipolar VCA is like a normal VCA when operated with positive control voltage. But when using a negative control voltage, the output will swing back past zero amplitude and invert the signal coming out. This produces deeper modulation than a normal VCA.

The Triple Bipolar VCA is also designed to be used as a standalone module, it does not require the PDO to operate.

Controls and I/O

+ In - This is the normal input for each VCA channel. It drives the inverting side of the Bipolar VCA. These inputs are normaled from outputs on the PDO.

- In - This is the second input for the VCA channel. Normaled through this jack is the inverted signal from the + Input. Plugging in here converts the channel from a Bipolar VCA to a crossfader, blending between the + and - inputs. When in crossfade mode, both inputs and the output are non-inverted.

CV - This input jack drives the CV knob. It can handle unipolar or bipolar signals.

Out - This is the output of each VCA channel. They are normaled to the Phase Modulation inputs on the PDO.

Bias Knob - Sets the manual gain for the VCA. Centered will have a zero output in bipolar mode, and 50%/50% of both + and - inputs in crossfade mode.

CV Knob - This knob is a bipolar attenuator for the signal applied to the CV jack. Spin clockwise from center for positive CV interactions, counterclockwise to invert the CV.

Mix Out - This output jack mixes the signals from each VCA.

Features

Three Bipolar VCAs
Normaling to PDO
Linear Response
Bipolar Attenuator for CV
Mix Output Sums All Three VCAs
Bi-color Signal LED
"-" Input for Crossfading"

Frequency Central Waverider Digital VCO Eurorack Module

Perfect Circuit Audio (RSS)

"The Waverider Digital VCO is a wavetable VCO with lots of features from voltage controlled interpolation to modulated bit crushing.

Frequency The Frequency CV input accepts 0-5V control voltages, quantized to semitones, to cover the MIDI note range 0-63. It is possible to limit the CV input with the CV attenuator. The basic frequency range of the VCDO is ten octaves from MIDI Note 0 to MIDI Note 120 (8.18Hz to 8372Hz), and can be selected by the manual Frequency knob.

Detune The Detune CV input is not quantised, and allows for -5V to +5V CV to modulate +/-8 semitones. The manual Detune knob allows adjustments to be made +/-100 cents.

Waveform The VCDO section has 16 waveforms which you’re unlikely to have seen before, arranged as a wavetable. The VCDO is able to crossfade from one to the next, creating a wavetable which you can scan through under voltage control, -5V to +5V. It would have been easy to include standard waveforms like ramps and triangles, but there are many oscillators that produce those. This oscillator has its own character and provides something different.

Sub Wave As well as the main oscillator, there is also a sub oscillator with 8 waveforms. Each waveform can be selected at one of four octaves, either +1 octave (above the main osc pitch!), in unison, -1 octave, or -2 octaves. Additionally, the Sub Wave can be selected externally by CV, -5V to +5V.

Glide Waverider also includes a glide/portamento effect, glide times range from 12ms/octave to 2.4secs/octave. Turning the Glide knob to minimum switches the glide effect off. Additionally, Glide can be externally controlled by any gate source, 0V = Glide off, 5V = Glide on.

Crush The Crush knob controls the sample bit resolution of the output (ie bitcrushing). This can be reduced from 8-bit down to 1-bit in eight steps.

VCDO and Sub Osc Outputs 8-bit, 62.5KHz sample output rate. The internal waveforms and calculations are 8-bit, and new samples are output via the on-chip PWM modules at 62.5KHz. The PWM modules’ outputs are at 125KHz.

If you’re gonna use diodes, why not use LEDs and get a free light show too? The LEDs will brighten as you turn up the cutoff of the filter, or when a CV is applied.

For maximum visual effect ECG is mounted on a translucsuent red acrylic panel. ECG is based on my Vogue VCF/VCA, the inspirations for the changes to diode ladder the Roland TB303 filter.

Features

Diode Ladder Filter
Indicator LEDs
Trasnlucent Red Acrylic Panel"

"Continuum looks and acts rather like a VCF, in fact that’s exactly what a phaser is, an all-pass VCF. There’s far more to phasers than just sweeps up and down from an LFO, so Continuum has two CV inputs, so you can use a variety of CV sources simultaneously.

The topology of Continuum is 4 swept OTA all-pass filter stages with a fixed all-pass filter stage either side of the swept core. There’s a switch to select Regen over odd or even stages. Most phasers stick to odd stages, but there are undiscovered sonic possibilities using even stages of Regem.

Features

2 Audio Inputs
Odd/Even Stages Switch
2 CV Inputs w/ Attenuators
Freq/Res Controls"

"Great rationalist version of Peters Rolz5.

Meng Qi's circuit layout is art unto itself.

Many mods can be done easily. Separate outs, different values for gongs and filters, ect.

Uses a LOT of bananas to patch. No cables included. Can use alligator clips, or touch.

Cool, weird, not for the faint of heart.

Auction for unit and PS only."

via the listing: "It was indeed purchased by me, last year, directly from Rob Hordijk. This is the latest version of this device (as far as I'm aware), and has the photoelectric eye as is present on all of the newer units. Too, Rob now produces both the 'classic' version (with 1/4" jacks) and a version with a combination of banana jacks and 1/4" jacks. My unit (as can be seen in the photos) is the former, having only 1/4" jacks for all ins and outs. I never got 'round to using this unit, and purchased it solely for the uniqueness and exclusivity. There aren't too many around, and Rob only does small runs when enough orders are received to make it worthwhile. As far as I know, he does still produce the Blippoos, though there's typically an indefinite wait-period between runs. So said, this unit is as new, and in the exact condition as it was when received by me - no known issues whatsoever..."
