The Haken Continuum Keyboard Extension

Published on May 27, 2016 Peter Pringle

"This is the introduction of my keyboard extension for the Haken Continuum. It is entirely mechanical and has no electronic or electrical components whatsoever. It sits over the fingerpad of the Continuum but does not touch it or interfere with it in any way, except when pressure is applied to a key and a small, precisely placed, drop-shaped 'pearl' pushes into the neoprene surface. Since the fingerpad is pressure sensitive on the Z axis, the keyboard is also.

The keyboard extension in the video has a total of 47 keys, but I am now building a full sized, 93 key extension that will cover the entire Continuum fingerpad. I guess I should add that I am in no way connected to the manufacturers of the Continuum. I am strictly a fan of the instrument, looking for creative ways to expand its usefulness and versatility.

"Quote from the creators' website

'Small in nature but aggressive in sound, the user will be able to create a variety of analog timbres and beats.'

'Leploop was designed to be a minimalist electronic music live-performance groove-box, which can be used to create a variety of musical styles.'

So there you have it! The creators' mission statement and vision! This is a machine that is handmade in Italy per request. They are rare!

The LEPLOOP V2 details:

2 vco's
dedicated kick-drum generator with resonance, distortion and accent controls
white noise generator
24db/octave lpf-vcf
2 vca's
2 attack-release eg's
lfo
16 step analog sequencer
4 track, 32 step digital sequencer
4 channel mixer

Along with more little awesome quirks packed into a small compact box!

For more details please visit the manufacturers' website...
nazzilla.com

When we received the LEPLOOP it came with an after market euro power supply with a north american adaper. It didn't power up! So we implemented an aftermarket one [spare alesis one!] Its a lower VAC then what is required but works fine and has been tested for hours! It will be included along with a printed manual from the creators' site.

LELOOP is tested and works very well and has been tested with a eurorack setup aswell. Must be noted that LELOOP is unique and slightly unpredictable in its nature which adds to the fun and mystery of playing with it! Can you tame the little beast?!"

The Rise of the Synths (80s retro music documentary)

Currently seeking funding on Kickstarter here.

"A documentary about the synthwave scene, 80s nostalgia, retromania & memories. Inspired in Carpenter, Moroder & Tangerine Dream legacy.

Feature documentary (90-120 min.) about the synthwave scene, 80s nostalgia, audiovisual collective memories and electronic music.

The natural way of the cultural wave: we generally experience that musical and cultural trends shift from an outstanding position within public opinion to near utter rejection, refusal and ridicule, through an ever-shortening period of time. However, if that period of time is extended, to often several decades, we can witness a renovation, a new heightened recognition – the rebirth of the wave. Through today’s global reach, powered by the internet, cultural waves and fascinations can resurface and manifest themselves, with an even much bigger fan impact than the original source.

The film is a travel in time towards the roots of a worldwide grass-root music scene known as Synthwave, an irresistible blend of modern electronic composition with 80s pop culture’s nostalgia, that over the last two years has transformed from a whisper on selected internet hubs, to an ever-growing scene, expanding rapidly as we speak. Accounting millions of plays on social media, devoted fans are legion, but nobody in the mass media knows about them.

Thousands of synthwave composers around the world are living out double-lives. Away from their normal everyday life they spend another half-life behind a faceless musical avatar, creating and uploading their own renditions of 80’s-styled film scores, sharing them with the world – surging the wave. They belong to an endless army of watchers for the master’s legacy: the sound that Edgar Froese, Giorgio Moroder and John Carpenter created in the late 70s.

A time travel into the universe of creating sounds. A love letter to human fascination and the collective memories of an universe that never existed."

New Audiothingies Micromonsta Desktop Synth

Audiothingies Micromonsta Demo 1

Published on May 27, 2016 audiothingies

"The micromonsta is an 8-voice polyphonic desktop synthesizer.

The examples in the video are straight from the output of the synthesizer. No external post processing"

Update: Details in via www.audiothingies.com.

"The Micromonsta is an 8-voice polyphonic desktop synthesizer.

Built on top of our acclaimed P6 synthesizer [demo video here] from which it shares the same user interface, it adds the following features:

2 more voices, that’s 8 instead of 6!
Wavetable support
15 custom made, multi-sampled factory wavetables, featuring both evolving sweeps and totally random wavetables
1 bank of 15 user wavetables, free for your own use (we’re currently designing a small software to help you download wavetables to the Micromonsta)
Unison mode available in polyphonic mode
New detuning options (per voice and per oscillator)
The arp pattern editor has been extended with new options
Envelopes parameters and LFOs speed available as destination in the matrix
And a very nice custom-made UV-printed enclosure
It’s even smaller than the P6, more power in less desktop space while still retaining the usability.

And of course, it gets the great features inherited from the P6 synthesizer:

2 oscillators, 1 sub oscillator, 1 multimode filter, 3 envelopes, 3 LFOs, 6 modulation slots, 3 scalers, 1 lag operator per voice
12 oscillator types (+ the new wavetables of course)
8 filter types
A chorder module allowing the generation of 4-note chords within a key/scale
A powerful arpeggiator with step pattern editor
Internal FX
384 preset slots"

Rebel Technology - 'Phoreo' sequence.

Published on May 27, 2016 PaulLawlerMusic

"Testing the Phoreo on a straight 16ths sequence. The Phoreo is randomly adding the ratchets and clock division changes to the sequence via LFOs on the CV inputs."

I believe this is the first post to feature the Phoreo. Some details via Rebel Technology:

Φορέω is a triple function processor for triggers, gates and clocks. It simultaneously performs pulse width modulation, multiplication and repetition, with individual input, output and CV for each function.

Pulse width modulation, as a ratio of the input signal rate, is adjustable from 0 to 100 percent.
Multiplication also operates on the input signal rate, multiplying it by a factor from 1 to 16.
Repetition generates a burst of triggers, at the rate of the multiplier, with repetitions adjustable from 1 to 16.
Each function has two knobs for manual and CV level, and three jacks for trigger input, CV input and trigger output.

Pulse width modulation carries through to the outputs of the two other functions, and the three trigger inputs are normalled from top to bottom.

When multiply and repeat are combined, Φορέω makes an excellent burst generator, perfect for rolls, flams and fills. The repeater gives precise control over burst length, while the multiplier easily moves from quarter notes, to thirds, to eights, to everything in between and lots more beyond. Go on, give us a snare rush!

Φορέω is also extremely versatile with many utility functions, such as master clock doubling, clock modulation, and for triggering and clocking fast sequences. It even works as a square wave overtone generator with PWM, tracking audio input signals up to 20kHz.

Φορέω perfectly complements Στοιχεῖα, Λόγοι, Κλάσματα and Χρόνος, completing our Euclidean series of trigger processors.

Dato DUO Synthesizer for Two Launches on Kickstarter

A desktop synth with two two front panel interfaces. One dedicated to the sequencer and one to the synthesizer. Dato just started a Kickstarter campaign to fund it here. An early bird DUO runs $301 or €269.

"Dato DUO synthesizer for two launches on Kickstarter

A synthesizer and a sequencer in one package – for two players. Starts at €269.

Today, Dutch synthesizer startup Dato launches their Kickstarter campaign for the Dato DUO. Designed to be played by two, the DUO combines a synthesizer and sequencer into one electronic instrument that is aimed at children and adults alike.

"We believe synthesizers are too much fun to be left to grown-ups alone", says Dato co-founder David Menting. Musicians and non-musicians of all ages were involved in the design process, resulting in a unique and robust instrument. Co-founder Toon Welling: "We put all the things we liked most about other synths into one instrument".

The wedge-shaped electronic instrument houses a synthesizer on one side and a sequencer on the other. The eight-step circular sequencer has a pentatonic keyboard to play melodies into it, with further buttons and knobs to change those melodies on the fly. David: "We chose to limit the keyboard to five notes per octave so that any melody you play will sound in harmony.”

The other side of the instrument controls the synthesizer. Two large sliders control the two digital oscillators and the filter-cutoff frequency, with basic envelope controls to shape the sound. Effects and percussion can be added using two touch pads, making for a robust and versatile instrument even beginners can use. Toon: “You can’t do anything wrong on the DUO!"

The Kickstarter campaign runs from 27 May until 26 June. The first 100 early-bird backers can pre-order the synth for €269 (approx. $300), with regular Dato DUOs going for €299. Additional rewards include a limited all-black edition and a Kickstarter-only poster that can be folded into a paper Dato DUO model named the “Dato Acapella”.

About Dato
Based in Utrecht, the Netherlands, Dato creates musical instruments for future generations. Starting from the belief that making music is fun and should be so from the first time you try it, a Dato instrument is always out of the ordinary, yet easy to use.

While the DUO is Dato's first product, founders Toon and David have a few years of experience under their belt in the Dutch design landscape. Toon was recently selected by the Dutch Association of Designers (BNO) to participate in their Driving Dutch Design program for talented young Dutch designers. And David has run a successful consultancy bureau for interactive product design for the past six years."
