Roland Boutiques: Gattobus DEMO - SE-02 / SH-01A / TR-08 / TB-03


Published on Nov 8, 2017 gattobus

"I'm having a lot of fun with my new Roland boutique setup!!!
I love this tiny but great sounding little machines!
I hope you like this demo :-)

Everything has been synced and recorded on Ableton live using a USB cable from each instrument through a simple USB powered hub, thanks to the "Aggregate audio device" function on Mac OS X."

Erica Synths Pico MScale demo


Published on Nov 8, 2017 Erica Synths



via Erica Synths

"Erica Pico MSCALE (Moog Scale, to be specific) is precision scaler to adapt Moog Mother 32 to eurorack standard 1V/oct control voltages.

Those, who own Moog Mother 32 know, that it requires -5V - +5V on 1V/oct input to operate in full range, while the eurorack standard is 0V - +10V. So, to control Moog Mother 32 from a eurorack sequencer you need to bias a sequencer output for 5 volts down. And vice versa – Moog Mother 32 sequencer outputs -5V - +5V on 1V/oct output, and, if you wish to control some eurorack VCO from Moog Mother 32, you need to bias it 5 volts up. This is exactly what MSCALE does – it has two sections – upper one adds 5V to the input voltage, other subtracts 5V form the input voltage. Of course, the module is not limited for use with Moog Mother 32 only. You can use it as a regular eurorack precision voltage scaler.

Features:

Precision scaler to adapt Moog Mother 32 1V/oct to eurorack standard
Moog to eurorack section
Eurorack to Moog section
High precision, high temperature stability
Skiff friendly, compact design
With Pico Series we challenged ourselves – can we make ANY superior functionality synth module 3HP wide and affordable? Yes, we can."

Retro - Akai MPC Live Only (No talking)


Published on Nov 7, 2017 ranzee av

"A live performance on the Akai MPC Live - more of a different retro (80s style) to this track. All samples recorded by me (see list below), no external gear. One take, no edits, single camera recorded on a Zoom Q4 direct audio out of MPC Live into the camera.

Samples:
► Fairlight CMI
► Roland D-50
► Roland SE-02
► Roland JU-06
► Roland System-8
► Roland System-1
► Waldorf Streichfett
► Korg Minilogue
► Alesis HR16A
► My voice

Filmed in my hotel room in Brisbane, QLD, Australia. Yeah, I got bored! I guess this also qualifies as my 3rd coffee table jam!

All work is original without any commercial benefit from supplier or manufacturer."

Leitmotif for a villain


Published on Nov 7, 2017 Synth Space

"Something perhaps suitable for a villain leitmotif. Features Studio Electronics Tonestar 2600, Roland TR8, Novation Bass Station 2 and DSI Prophet ‘08."

Wish this one was a little longer with a fade out. Unfortunately it abruptly cuts off at exactly 1:00. Still cool though.

eowave quadrantid swarm - experimental touch synthesizer now on Kickstarter




eowave quadrantid swarm is now on Kickstarter, with a ship date of March/April. The following are the details from the campaign:

"The Quadrantid Swarm

The Quadrantid Swarm is a desktop touch synthesizer aimed at sound designers and musicians who are looking for an expressive tool to explore rich and unusual soundscapes with a direct intuitive approach.

Past research and development at eowave has contributed to a range of successful products aimed at musicians and performers - including sensor interfaces, MIDI devices, modular synthesizers and more. This has been honed and distilled in the Quadrantid Swarm. It is an instrument that has been designed openly - to be used with MIDI, alongside your modular synthesizer/CV sequencer or to be explored as a standalone drone/sequencer/generative synthesizer.

Modes

The QS now features 8 modes. Each should be considered a springboard for musical exploration, rather than a preset. The modes are not direct emulations of existing instruments, but they borrow on inspiration from their namesakes. We found that this was the best way to retain the immediacy of function per button design while offering a generous feature set. The QS will ship with a cheat sheet that details the specifics behind each mode - the waveform, perc sound and character effect.

Organ - Strings - Drone - Noise - Grains - Perc - Metal - Chiptune

Let's take a closer look...

Front panel

Building on the feedback we received at Superbooth 17, we have redesigned the front panel to be easier to read. This matte black PCB pictured below is the final material we will be using on production, although there is a mistake on this panel that will be rectified (white layer inverted!).

Oscillator

The oscillator section is a digital wave generator. In sequencer mode (activated when you push start) the spread control multiplies the waveform up to 8 waveforms. In live mode (sequencer not active) the spread control will not affect the oscillator because the 8 waveforms are spread across the touch keyboard to be used as a simple polyphonic synthesizer. Character controls a different effect or folder depending on the mode. The character effects/folders will help you design timbres that will range from clean and glassy to dense and distorted.
