"There is wear and tear on the sides and underneath which is endemic to all of these synths - there is also one piece of damage to the rear side wooden panel that came from removing the instrument from a poorly fitting studio mount and is highlighted in the picture. It is only the wood, and not the synth at all which is in perfect working order."

Percussa #ssp #eurorack Kickstarter update - Programmable Logic, Input Channels and More


via Bert on the Percussa Kickstarter campaign site:

"The past week I've been evaluating a few different ways to connect the input channels on the SSP to the ARM SoC we're using. My goal is to maximize supported sample rate and resolution. I already had a pretty good idea how I was going to do this and now have a solid plan to connect the inputs. The implementation I have in mind should enable us to support the same sample rate of 192kHz and resolution of 32 bits on all the inputs, which means there will be no difference between a CV or audio input or output. I've chosen a programmable logic solution to connect the 16 inputs, so I'll be writing code for that in the next weeks and running tests.

At the same time I'll also start working on the schematics and layout for the SSP. This will be based on the Percussa Engine. The CPU module will be moved to the back of the main motherboard, to make room for the 3.5mm input and output jacks on the right hand side. My plan is to keep most of the digital stuff on the back side of the PCB where the CPU module will be, and keep the analog circuitry on the front side close to the input and output jacks. In the schematics I'll be adding the programmable logic, additional ADCs, input stages, etc.

As I work on the above I'll be posting updates to keep you all in the loop. Thanks again for backing and for your support!

Bert"

Percussa reached their Kickstarter funding and the project moves ahead. The SSP is now available for Pre-order.

Intellijel Plonk Overview


Published on Sep 14, 2017 intellijel

"Chapter Markers:
1. Triggering, Loading, Saving, and Tuning Sounds - 1:06
2. Exciter Section - 3:06
3. Object Section - 4:46
4. X, Y, Mod, and Config - 7:01
5. Example 1 (Decay and Morph) - 9:07

7. Example 3 (Preset Stepping Bassline) - 13:32

Plonk uses a technique known as physical modelling to synthesize, with great realism, the way in which sound is produced by acoustic instruments. The Plonk module is, itself, focused primarily on creating percussive sounds — both pitched and un-pitched; natural and unnatural; acoustic-sounding or totally electronic.

Plonk does this by breaking sound creation into two distinct elements — the exciter and the resonator. The exciter is a mathematical model of the device used to strike a particular surface. Plonk, because it’s percussion oriented, has two types of exciters: one modelled on a mallet, and the other providing a noise source. The resonator is a virtualization of the object being struck, which vibrates, resonates and creates the body of a sound. Plonk offers several types of resonators: beam; marimba; drumhead; membrane; plate; and string.

Plonk provides numerous parameters that let you shape, mold and design both the exciter and the resonator, thus enabling you to synthesize the sound of striking or scraping almost any type of object — real or imagined. In this way, Plonk can accurately model the sounds of kicks, snares, toms, cymbals, claps, tablas, congas and all manner of traditional percussion instruments. It can also model pitched percussive instruments, like vibes, marimbas, and even bass or guitar-like tones. Of course, it additionally excels at modelling instruments that heretofore never existed.

Best of all, the sounds created by Plonk are not static — any sound you design can respond dynamically to velocity, as well as four different modulation inputs. This means the sound of Plonk can change completely from note-to-note (or strike-to-strike). Because of this, Plonk is actually a duophonic (2-voice) module, which lets the sound of one note decay naturally when a second note (possibly employing an entirely different set of modelling values) is struck. Thus, hitting a new note does not choke the sound of the previously struck note (unless you want it to, of course)!

Plonk stores up to 128 patches in its internal memory, and ships with many presets programmed by professional sound designers and composers. You may overwrite these patches if you wish, and banks of patches may be transferred via MIDI System Exclusive over Plonk’s built-in mini-USB port to facilitate offline storage by programs or websites that support this capability.

Plonk was developed in cooperation with Montreal-based Applied Acoustics Systems — physical modelling pioneers, and the creators of Tassman, Lounge Lizard, String Studio, Ultra Analog, Chromaphone and numerous other plugins. It is with great pleasure that Intellijel brings the potential of this physical modelling technology to a hands-on, CV-laden device capable of the sort of dynamic control and sonic exploration that modular synthesists demand.

Paper Synth Workshop Announcement & PS401 3:1 Clipping Mixer Details


See this previous post for a video.

Details on the 401 and workshop:

"Paper Synth 401 is a three channel mixer with built in diode clipping for each channel. Saturation is a classic way to get more character out of synthesized sounds. Sometimes it is also needed to ad some edginess to waveforms in order to give some gripping surface to, for example resonant filters.

The sound of the clipping is not like super harsh guitar pedal kind of distortion, instead it adds color and harmonics to the sound to make it more interesting, especially when the clipped signals are mixed together.

Features:
Each of the 3 channels has a separate volume control knob. Far left hand side is silence, middle of the turn is 0db, same volume as signal coming in. If the signal coming in is a eurorack standard 10Vpp, the mixer channel starts to clip after turning the knob right from the middle. Each channel offers a hefty 6db of clipping, so even if the signal coming in, is quieter than 10Vpp, it will get loud enough to start clipping.

The module can also be used as a normal clean mixer, if the channel knobs are kept below the middle point.

All the channels sum into a channel with separate volume control, allowing 6 db of clean gain when needed. A trimmable clip led is attached to the output of the main channel, normally trimmed to light up at 10Vpp.

Three Clip Mix comes with a standard eurorack power connector, but also supports +-15V systems with small modifications.

A non drilled diy aluminium faceplate is also handed at the workshop. We have a possibility to drill the faceplates in our workshop after the electronics have been built.

In the workshop we will build the PS411-EnvAmp. We learn the basics principles how the attack/release envelope generator works and how the optocoupler controlled VCA. And certainly we learn how to use the PS411 - EnvAmp.

All the tool and materials will be provided. The workshop will be held in English and German.

The Klirrfaktor: VCV Rack - a complete track

Published on Sep 13, 2017 TheKlirrfaktor

"I tried to make a complete track with VCV Rack.
At least I got a 8 track recording in Logic Pro.
VCV Rack is nice and behaves mostly like a real modular system - but arranging live with only one (:D) mouse is challenging.
I wasn't able to get the harmonic stuff in tune (maybe there will be a Quantizer someday ...) - the sequencer knobs are to small or maybe the resolution is not high enough - I don't know.
But hey - it's beta and free - so what ;)

You can download the patch here: http://www.theklirrfaktor.com/downloa...

See the VCV label directly below for more.

It will sound different on your system because i mixed it (EQ, Reverbs etc...)"

New DETECT-Rx & CLONE Eurorack Modules from Steady State Fate


"DETECT-Rx features three useful utilities to expand your modular capabilities.

EXTRACT-R is a voltage controlled comparator with three selectable range settings, LINE LEVEL, 5V and 10V. A Threshold knob sets the trip point to extract a 10V gate signal. CV input for allows for PWM and voltage control of the comparator threshold.

RECTIFY-R is a simple positive voltage rectifier for octave-up and rectifying bipolar signals into positive only signals.

DETECT-R is a versatile Envelope Follower with three selectable frequency ranges, an additional envelope smoothing control and an input gain control offering up to 27dB of input gain to accommodate line and low level signals - including med to hi output guitar pickups.

Some convenient Jack normalizations are provided:

Patching into the DETECT-R only; will normalize the input into the EXTRACT-R and RECTIFY-R, providing all outputs from a single input.

Patching into the EXTRACT-R only; will normalize the GATE output into the Envelope DETECT-R input, producing an extracted GATE based envelope at the EXTRACT-R's output.

Using the Gate output into the Envelope DETECT-R input provides an additional following method based on variable Gate Extraction from the program material.

All normalizations break if additional inputs are utilized."


"CLONE is a 3hp, High fidelity Multiple featuring two 1x4 buffered multiples.

Multiple B is normalized from multiple A to provide 1x8 multiple capability.

CLONE allows for signal multiplication with extremely low degradation and each section is capable of driving an equivalent load impedance of 300Ohms without signal loss or distortion.

We use audiophile grade active components to ensure signal integrity and fidelity across the audio and low frequency spectrum, ensuring zero loss of your multiplied signals.

In light of modular making it's way into polyphonic territory, 1:4 multiples are necessary to accommodate 4 voice polyphonic modular systems."
