Eurorack Speak & Read Eurorack Module by Ninstrument


Published on Oct 27, 2014 Ninstrument.com

"Custom Speak&Read made just for eurorack modular. Many hours were spent to try and zero in on the registers that had complete phonemes and words. More info van be found at www.Ninstrument.com"

Chris Blarsky over at Ninstrument.com wrote in to let us know about his Eurorack version of the Speak&Read: "I Spent a considerable amount of time getting this one just right. Wanted more than a glitch machine, so spent copious amounts of time working out most of the key registers that formed actual words. This module uses many existing hacks into those registers. Props especially go out to highlyliquid.com for nailing down most of what was necessary!"


And via Ninstrument.com:

"I have had so many of these as bent toys that I thought it was time to make a eurorack module of one. Lots of time spent trying to nail down the right registers for the best phonemes and words. Very fast response means you can use quick triggers and for longer glitches you can use longer gates. The response has been a little over whelming to this as I knew there were a few out there who loved these, but had no idea that it was this many!!"

Eurorack 6U System + TR-606 – Jam #1


Eurorack 6U System + TR-606 – Jam #1 from Icaro Ferre on Vimeo.

"After recording 3 songs using just my TR-606 and my Eurorack modular synthesizer, I thought it'd be a great idea to make a video demonstrating how I use them together.

My goal for the video was simply to jam around with my 6U eurorack system and the TR-606 and play around with the different parameters within the patch, Minilogue style.
The patch itself consists of 3 different layers: an acid bass (TTA Z3K mk2 + TB MultiFilter), some chord stabs (MI Braids WTX4 + Synthrotek Eko) and a morphing bass (MI Tides).
In order to sequence these 3 elements, I'm using an 4ms SCM (clocked by the TR-606 LT trigger output) and the Intellijel metropolis. The output of the Metropolis is patched into both the Z3000 (for the acid bassline) and into the Disting. The Disting is set to S&H and I'm using a slower clock division to trigger the S&H thus creating a variation of the original sequence.
In order to add some movement to the patch, I'm using the ST e350 (set to LOW range) as a complex LFO.

For this video, I tried using 2 camera angles ("POV" and fixed / angled) so you can better understand what I'm doing.

Thanks for watching!"

Diggin' In The Carts - Documentary on the Composers of Japan's Original Video Game Music


Published on Aug 28, 2014 Published on Aug 28, 2014

This one in via swissdoc. This is a playlist of trailers and excerpts from Diggin' In The Carts, a documentary on the composers of classic video game music. The first video is a good intro. The third video is an excerpt from the documentary. Forward to 5:35 and turn on CC for English subtitles in this video for the technical bits. Don't miss the waveforms at 6:49. Great stuff.

YouTube description:
"Watch the full series here: http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/diggin

Diggin' In The Carts is a new series from Red Bull Music Academy about the untold story behind the most influential music to come out of Japan.

For many of us, the music of video games played more in our households growing up than any other form of music. Over six episodes Diggin' In The Carts shines a spotlight on the composers who created a style of music that has had an immense impact on modern pop culture. From the personal studios of these legendary composers, to the concert halls of Japan where symphony orchestras are performing their compositions to sold-out crowds today - the series will document how the music of video games was created, what inspired it, and how it evolved into its own cultural phenomenon. Peppered with commentary from some of modern music’s finest DJ’s, musicians and electronic producers from around the world, the documentary also shows the influence these Japanese composers had on the world - and the world of music.

Q109 as a Divider


Published on May 9, 2013 Jeffrey Cecil

"I was playing with my newly acquired Q119 sequencer. I fed the gate to one of my Q109s to control the VCA, I chained that Q109s gate to my 2nd Q109 to control Freq Cutoff. I got a surprise in that as long as I keep the Decay setting on the VCA Q109 below the gate length of the Q119 feed, the chain to the 2nd Q109 will not reset. Thus, providing interesting Divider type behavior for fun rhythmic possibilities."

First test of SOU 266r


Published on Jan 18, 2014 Jeffrey Cecil

Buchla in 5U MU dotcom format.

"Just finished building a Source of Uncertainty 266r module. The sound is all being created by the SOU through a Q107 State Variable Filter. No VCOs as voices. I'm using an SCM/RCD for the clock source going to the S&H part of the SOU, then out to the pulse inputs. Also, a couple of SSL LFOs and an SSL VCO in LFO mode going through an attenuator to control the CV. One of the SSL LFOs is clocking the SCM/RCD. West coast on East coast action!!

Sorry about the sideways camera. First time I've used the phone camera."

Intellijel Atlantis & Metropolis Sombre Sequencing


Published on Oct 27, 2014 mylarmelodies

"A lovely mournful sequence on the fiercely well paired Atlantis/Metropolis combo (Pentatonic Minor scale, Atlantis dual osc detuned), using a Music Thing Random Looping Sequencer (which is clocked by Metropolis) to affect the Aux input's 'P.PrE' shift mode, adding variation. You can see me adjusting the Metropolis Aux attenuator knob to control the amount of modulation being applied.

Eventide Space Blackhole algorithm on output."

Harry Plotter @ Sines & Squares 2014


Published on Oct 27, 2014 mCKENIC

Modular plotter at Sines & Squares festival.

Update: "The device was a plotter of the kind used in manufacturing in The Netherlands, used I believe to monitor tolerances in industry etc. He had attached a pen as you see in the video and IIRC said the voltages had to be low (I think a couple of volts, certainly lower than 5v). He was using a Doepfer VCS to control the x and y axes. The speed also has to be low so no audio rate stuff. But he was more than happy to 'compose' a picture and he & Jim Frize spent a little time setting up an LFO to 'draw' etc. A very interesting and unassuming chap, he invited us all up to look and have a go. A wonderful addition to a great event!"
