Moog Mother 32 ACID JAM with TB 303 and Modular ANALOG DRUMs


Published on Feb 16, 2016 HOX808

"The drum voices come from ORPHO Modular Drum. The kick thunders from the x base 09."

I'm guessing the ORPHO is new from HOX808. If you know feel free to comment. I left a comment on YouTube for HOX808 and will report back if I hear back.

Update: some info via HOX808:

"The Orpho Modular Drum is a drum set for the Eurorack. It consists of 8 different drum voices, Bass Drum, Snare, Hi-Hat, 3xConga (Low, Mi, Hi) and 2 x RIM shot.

The circuits aresimilar to the drum machines of bygone days. Each module is manufactured by myself, without the use of SMD components. 100% analog, in every respects! The modules will be available soon for sale.

More information coming soon..."

nnoiz Papp testing hornberg hb1 with moog voyager

"my first test with the HORNBERG hb1 breath controller and the moog voyager. the controller sends controller 19 for cutoff filter control"

testing hb1 breath controller with OCTATRACK


Note this is the first post to feature HORNBERG on the site.

The following are some details on the HB1 via the product page.

"The hb1 MIDI Breath Station enables you to regulate any electronic instrument or peripheral device with MIDI or USB-port. The special wooden mouth piece, a precision sensor and the combination of a MIDI-merger, an integrated MIDI-interface and the innovative parameters create the premise for a high precision and highly sensitive performance of your ideas, in studio or live. Ten of the twelve parameters allow an adaption of various details and impulses in your music. For instance, the adjustable “Release” allows breathing in without a gap in the sound.The “Dynamic Attack” parameter allows for sensitive sound control, even in the finest pianissimo. In dual mode you can control two independent MIDI CCs even simultaneously. Realtime data reduction, Inversion and Limitation of the signal and, of course, Drive and Offset are all a part of the setting options. Each parameter can be saved in 25 presets. Additionally, the breath-data is displayed constantly on the Breath-Value Display. The hb1 approach is innovative and progresses far beyond the possibilities of a common breath controller. Through the integration of standard MIDI and USB-ports, the hb1 functions with or without a computer. The hb1 is hand-crafted in Germany with great attention to detail as well as with a focus on the aspect of sustainability.

The hb1 is composed of a controller unit and an extremely accurate pressure sensor unit which is connected to the mouthpiece by a silicon hose and to the controller unit by a sensor cable. Two mouthpieces are supplied in different sizes so that the most comfortable can be chosen for use.
The mouthpiece, made of precious wood from the wild service tree, is mounted onto a stainless steel tube in which the sliding adjustable air intake valve can be adjusted as needed. The pressure sensor unit may be worn hung by a leather cord around the neck with the mouthpiece between the lips. The hb1 includes a Neck Set which enables the mouthpiece to be set in a fixed position in front of the mouth. This is particularly helpful for live performances. The hb1 Neck Set is made from a flexible but robust metal tube which can be easily shaped and adapted for the musician's comfort and musical needs..."

Korg Volca Bass (lead synth sequence)
Arturia Microbrute (bass)

ROLAND JUPITER 6 JP6 Analog Synthesizer W/ Europa Upgrade SN 353805

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

via this auction

Note only one VCO is working on this one. Via the seller:

"The Europa upgrade adds additional functionality to the unit, such as the ability to record slider movements via MIDI and additional appregiator settings. It costs about $300+ to get it installed.

The keyboard has one minor issue and needs repair. One of the voices on the VCO1 does not make a sound. However, if you use only VCO2 then all voices work perfect. I was told it needs CEM chip replacement which run about $70 to $80 plus labor. I actually had purchased the chip a while ago so I could replace it but did not get around and have lost the chip! You can order the chip online and have any local repair guy replace it.
I have had this synth for the past 20 years and it has been mostly seating idle in the studio with very little usage."

Roland JP-08 Boutique Voice Stealing in Chain Mode?


Published on Feb 16, 2016 Earmonkey Music

Anyone else confirm this? What happens when you play single notes with long release times? Do the first four get cutoff when you play the fifth through eighth? Update: according to Earmonkey the same happens with single notes if you release a key.  It only goes onto the next unit when more than four keys are held down, otherwise it just round-robins on the one unit.

"First of all, let it be known that I really do love the Boutiques. I love my JP-08s. However, there is an issue with voice stealing in chain mode....I made this video a while back (cell phone alert) that demonstrates the voice stealing in the Boutique synths when there are two chained together. The issue is that the way Roland have allocated voices is that Unit #1 will play the first four notes, then any fifth note played SIMULTANEOUSLY, will spill over to the second unit. If you're doing big 6, 7, 8 note pads, this is fine. But if you are playing 4-note chords, and then lift off, and play another, the second unit is never triggered at all. So you get only four voices, not eight. The video demo is easier to see. At times I'm playing more than four notes, and all notes sound just fine. But when I do the four-note chords, you get get voice stealing. If Roland would address this and have the note allocation work in a round robin fashion, then you would not have this issue. Every other note could be sent to each alternating unit and you'd only get voice stealing when you reached the 8-voice limit. Anyway, here's the vid"

CB's DIY Modular Synth: 2-16-2016 Arduino oscillator, MIDI, and PT2399 digital delay circuit


Published on Feb 16, 2016 Chris Beckstrom

"More about this project:
http://www.chrisbeckstrom.com/portfol...

This week I built two very exciting modules: an Arduino-based digital oscillator with MIDI input (!!!) and a PT2399-based digital delay circuit. Still working out some kinks on the Arduino oscillator, but for now it has 3 programs, each with a crossfade between different waves. Program, frequency, and wave shape (crossfade) are all voltage-controllable. In addition, the Arduino spits out gate voltages when it receives MIDI note on messages, which I can then use to trigger envelopes, sequencers, etc.

This particular patch is a MIDI sequencer generated by Qmidiarp on linux whose root is determined by the little MIDI over USB keyboard, then sent via MIDI cable to my Arduino oscillator. The output of that goes into an amp (the Arduino is pretty quiet) and then into a VCA whose attenuation is being modulated by the gate voltages. Then into a mixer along with some delay. A triangle LFO is also modulating the frequency of the oscillator (when it's in "free" mode) and a slope generator triggered by the gate voltages is modulating the wave shape (sine to saw, tri to saw, and sine to wave-folded sine)"

FYI, I created a new Chris Beckstrom label for these moving forward. You'll find three previous posts there. A search on Chris Beckstrom will bring them up as well, along with two Bitwig videos. Lots of "New" labels for this post.
