Tiptop Audio MA808 Maracas Eurorack Module Released


"The MA808 is the TR-808’s original analog Maracas drum voice and a white noise generator in Eurorack format. It’s a low-cost module that brings back that classic sound, continuing to expand your Tiptop Audio modular drum machine.

The MA808 is a must have sound with its fluffy, harmonically rich presence that greatly enhances the dynamics of Hi Hats sounds in the groove. The Attack control knob can turn the sound from a sharp edged Hi Hat and up to a slow rise exponential attack Maracas sound; a dot on the scale indicates the original 808 set position. The MA808 also provides the continuous analog white noise generator of the 808 machine: a full spectrum of harmonics ideal for use as a starting point for patching your own drum sounds or for general use of white noise. The MA808 is an exact reproduction of the original circuit which sounds like a fresh machine coming off the assembly line back in the 80’s.

Compatible with all the other drums in this series, the MA808 includes a hot modular level output gain stage. On the inputs, we have designed a dual-input pulse-shaper circuit so you can trigger the MA808 with trigger/gate signals from step sequencers, clock dividers, or any other pulse/clock sources. This eliminates the need to shape pulses sent to the module ensuring the same stable sound at peak power, regardless of your pulse source. These distinctive features make integrating this legendary sound generator into your modular synth easy, unleashing the power of real analog drums."

Elysian Drum Scape (lmtd 2014 edition)


via Folktek

"This is essentially the same as the Elysian Drum Scape. A revision of the oak box, a little tweak here and there and bang...

This drum scape is a small series of works created by Arius Blaze.

The Elysian is capable of everything the other drum scapes are - with exactly the same oscillators and delay, but Voltage Control (1/8" CV) has been added to integrate into other analog systems/cv sequencers. Control over the oscillators as well as the delay time.

The boxes are oak, 1/8" output jack, 5x 1/8" cv jacks, control over delay time (from extremely notated tight to about 1.5 seconds with near infinite repeat for loops), control over each of the oscillators with custom brass keys for each, 2 custom lamps glow warm white, custom switches for delay time and drum mode (3 modes)."

Los Niños Del Parque, Roland Aira series


Published on Aug 22, 2014 Calle Nilsson

"A cover of Liaisons Dangereuses - Los Niños Del Parque.
One of the greatest songs ever made.
I did it with the TR-8, TB-3 and VT-3 and hopefully as close to the original as possible.
I can't speak a word of spanish so I hope I got the pronunciation right :D

Enjoy!"

Low-Gain Electronics Submix eurorack module


Published on Aug 22, 2014 bigcitymusic

"The Low-Gain Electronics Submix is a great utility mixer module for subgrouping signals to use in performance, mixing and feedback applications.

Here we’ve routed multiple waveforms from the Cwejman D-LFO and VCO-6 (and through the Cwejman MMF-6 and MMF-2) into sub mixes A and B, which are then feeding back into the ‘Sync’ input of VCO-6.

The Pittsburgh Sequencer, 4ms Quad Clock Distributor and Cwejman CTG-VC have been routed into sub mixes C & D and are controlling the envelopes and rate of sequencing (played by the Critter and Guitari Melody Mill via recorded pattern)."

"The keyboard has been professionally cut down to 2 octaves to convert the synthesizer into a compact bass unit. The internal circuitry is in visually very good order, while all knobs, buttons, sliders, switches and jacks are original and in good condition. The console sliders and switches have also been recently refurbished to provide smooth, noise-free operation."

EMW PATCH SYNTHESIZERS for the KORG DW-8000, Roland Alpha Juno & JX-8P


Some of you might remember the EMW Patch Synthesizer JX-810P posted back in 2011. There are also EMW PATCH SYNTHESIZERS for the KORG DW-8000, Roland Alpha Juno, Yamaha TX-81Z & DX11, and the Casio CZ series.

"What is the EMW Patch Synthesizer?

The EMW Patch Synthesizer is an intelligent patch creator. It operates on a certain degree of randomness but it is not just a simple patch randomizer like the ones that can be found on patch editors. Its internal software uses an intelligent algorithm to maximize the usability of the generated sounds.

Why use it? Or why use it instead of a Patch Editor?

The Patch Synthesizer does not exclude the use of a patch editor, they can be used together to extend the sound creation possibilities. One thing that is usual when creating a patch is that we humans have our preferences and always tend to use the same parameters, envelope settings and modulations, this is not bad but limits the creative process in a significant way.
Think about the EMW Patch Synthesizer as a new point of view generator, another opinion in sound creation or a friend that can throw some light and new perspectives. Its really like not to be alone in the process anymore.

For which synthesizers is it available?

We now have the Patch Synthesizer for the following synthesizer models:

- Roland Alpha Juno 1, Alpha Juno 2 and MKS-50
- Roland JX-8P and MKS-70
- Korg DW8000 and EX8000
- Casio CZ101, CZ1000, CZ3000, CZ5000 and CZ1
- Yamaha TX-81Z and DX11"

"Although in full working order, many of the knobs have started falling apart to varying degrees from very slight to total, however with absolutely no effect to the pots or machine itself (see photos). For this reason, I have already decreased my asking price (have seen elsewhere priced at over $2000), and the knobs (pot fittings) are common and cheap to replace."

This is the second one with chewed up knobs.  Curious if this is the inevitable fate for all silo style knobs.

Non Human Device #002 - [REVISITED] from visiophone on Vimeo.

"Non Human Device #002” is part of a series of interactive installations where experimental audiovisual devices/instruments are explored. They are based on the speculative narrative of the project BORIS CHIMP 504, an audiovisual live performance that tells the adventures of a chimp cosmonaut in space.
Every version of the “Non Human Device” installations are based on an alien object/device found by Boris Chimp 504 during his missions through the deep space.
