Upcoming TripsQuad: Quad Waveshaper Eurorack Module by Auxren aka Oren Levy of Tabor

Published on Sep 29, 2016 Oren Levy

"A demo of my new eurorack module. It has 4 waveshapers normalized in series with plenty of modulation inputs for fun."

Oren Levy is the man behind The Quill by Tabor. His modular explorations have been featured here on MATRIXSYNTH numerous times.

The image to the left is via modulargrid. It appears the brand will fall under the moniker auxren.

The following are some details in via Oren:

"This one is mainly open source and meant to be a non-daunting way for people to learn to surface mount solder. The files and info is on github.com/auxren/tripsquad.

Cost for parts and everything is around $60. I'll have circuit boards and panels for purchase and I might even hand build some if people want complete modules, but the purpose is to get people to build something easier than the other surface mount projects."

Buchla/Topobrillo Dual Function Generator Eurorack Manual Trigger

Published on Sep 29, 2016 Christopher Anderson

"Brief demo to show both Function Generators operating"

via this auction

"Excellent, fully functional, Buchla designed Dual Function Generator in Eurorack format w Grayscale Panel. Includes excellent Manual Trigger Modification allowing self triggering. These Dual Function Generator PCBs were created by Toppobrillo using the original Buchla 281 schematic. It's exactly 1/2 of a Buchla 281. This is basically the same circuit used in the Make Noise Maths, and the implementation is pretty close, although the Grayscale Panel footprint is considerably smaller, at 16HP (versus 20HP for Maths). Photo is of actual module, and comes with original blue Buchla 200 knobs."

"For sale is a rare Roland TB303. It's in near mint shape and fully functional. Includes carry case bag (also in excellent shape) and original boss power supply. All the knobs turn smoothly, scratch free and buttons are all triggering properly. Super hard to find a 303 that performs are perfectly as this one. You won't have any issues with buttons double triggering or requiring firm presses, programming on this is a breeze. This one has been very lightly used over the years and it shows. No cracks, chips, dings or worn our corners like you find on most 303s. No wear around the knobs which shows it hasn't been used for intense filter or knob twisting action. No rust or grime or mildew funky smells either. Even the bottom looks great..."

What's Poppin? Electribe Music Contest (Ft. Korg Electribe ESX and E2)

Electribe machine/s used: ESX & E2

Submission for Electribe Music Contest | Summer 2016
Hosted by Cremacaffè Design & EMX Pattern Hub
http://cremacaffedesign.com/music-con...


Decided to do something a little different for the CremaCafe Design Store Electribe Music Contest 2016. Deviated from my usual territory into a more Reggae vibe :)
Really enjoyed the creation process of this track, definitely grooved out in my chair thoroughly :D

One thing to mention is that throughout the track I'm using the Arpeggiator to create drum rolls and fills with my snare. The funny thing about this is that the slider to the right is doing absolutely nothing sonically but for some reason sliding it up and down allowed me to find that groove better and make better fiils :)"

The Engulfing Shadows (Volca FM, Circuit, Rhythm Wolf, Retroverb)

Published on Sep 28, 2016 HardtekStudios

"Download the audio track for FREE here-https://soundcloud.com/hardtek-studio...
In this track I used the Rhythm Wolf for the main drums & percussion, with the Bass going into the Grilled Cheese distortion pedal (lil yellow thing) for some nasty Wolf Squelchyness. The Volca FM going into the Retroverb is playing the main synth line. The Circuit is providing all the other synth lines, SFX & percussion. All this was recorded in real time into Logic and mixed using only EQ & Compression with a bit of reverb for added spaciousness."

"Audio and video by G-Storm Electro c.2016

Quick how-to video making an electronic kick drum on the Oberheim Matrix-12 Synthesizer. You can use any programmable synthesizer that has filter self-oscillation, usually but not limited to a 4-pole (24 db/oct) filter slope. A couple of the tricks I employ here may surprise you, and can be used on other kinds of synth sounds. Be sure to stay for the end of the video, where I fatten my kick drum sound through a vintage audio compressor."
