Final Design for the Proposed Percussa Super Wavetable Oscillator/Sampler - "Super Signal Processor"


This is a follow-up to this post. Note the two modules are now one. Be sure to see this video if you haven't already. According to Percussa, this is the final design. You can see the name of the eurorack module will be the Percussa "Super Signal Processor". The following are some additional details:

"I've decided to make this module a bit more general and provide ALL the DSP algorithms from the ENGINE on it. So this becomes much more than a 'super wavetable oscillator'. Here is a list of modules I already have:

1) wavetable osc
2) sampler
3) LFO (sine, square, saw, etc)
4) variable frequency noise
5) white noise
6) DC generator
7) envelope generator (ADSR + A/DR shape control and looping features)
8) waveshaper
9) comb filter
10) static variable filter
11) step sequencer

Obviously there will be a menu to patch modules and route signals in and out."

"Regarding granular: You can already record wav files (up to 22 minutes long) and you can load those into either the wavetable osc or sampler module. The WT osc lets you chop up the sample on the fly using an encoder, and you can then use the index encoder to scroll through the chopped up parts. You can of course change pitch (coarse/fine). In the recorder you can crop samples, normalize and reverse them.

In the sampler module you can layer 8 samples or trigger them individually, change start/length of playback, pitch (coarse/fine), using them as looping samples or one shots, etc. All this functionality we already have in the ENGINE synth and will be in this module too.

Using slices/grains in a cloud formation with density control and forward/reverse scanning is not there yet, and morphing between snapshot is also not implemented. But those can be added.

You'll be able to have lots of modules, since this is a quad core A17 and not a single core A8. So about 10 times more processing power than what the ER-301 offers, for example."

Playlist:
1. Simonsound live at Brighton Modular Meet 2017

"Manipulating a self generating patch (inspired by Todd Barton’s ‘Krell’ patch) on the Buchla 200e, with additional noises coming from the Cocoquantus and processing via Eventide Space effects.

Simon’s soundtrack to the radio drama, Akiha Den Den, is released on July 28th. Radio interference, snatches of intercepted broadcasts, codes, tones, signals and other haunting sounds from the wireless feature heavily alongside the soundtrack conjured up on an array of synthesisers including the Buchla 200e Electric Music Box and EMS VCS3. Occasionally the voices of Akiha Den Den's inhabitants burn through the white noise offering a glimpse of their tangled patchbay like story.

Released by Castles in Space on clear vinyl, the physical package includes an Akiha Den Den booklet (designed by Nick Taylor) and Bonus CD filled with over 70 minutes of Buchla Modular, EMS, drones, dramatics, cassette 4 track abuse and noise from the Akiha Den Den radio series.

Inauguration (Non measurement)


Published on Jul 16, 2017 UncertainMusicCorps

"First in what is planned to be a series of works using a very compact and self-contained modular system (known here as Tiny Dynamite v2) primarily under generative control via Wotja (by Intermorphic) on iOS.

In the spirit of the project, it seemed only right that a cut-up John Cage should act as MC.

As ever the recording is direct to camera and unedited. Headphones are recommended.

The layout of Tiny Dynamite can be seen in detail here https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/461188

Modular Live Patch #04 (Modular Pop, Repatch)


Modular Live Patch #04 (Modular Pop, Repatch) from BendingBus on Vimeo.

"A sizzling 'repatch' of last month's patch. Uses a MacBeth MK-1 Oscillator 'B' into a Moog Clusterflux stereo chorus for the main arpeggio at 0:07, then another MacBeth osc for the glide-lead at 0:23 (with some stereo spring reverb and a Moog delay). Messed around with the MOTM-730 to trigger the lead, and at 1:54 switched the whole piece to double time. Also some bandpass filter tweaking of white noise throughout, using a MacBeth Filter 'B'. Drums are CR-78 sounds.

Enjoy, full-res audio downloadable here: https://www.bendingbus.com/downloads"

DreamsOfWires - Korg Arp Odyssey '...at arm's length'


Published on Jul 17, 2017 DreamsOfWires

"A rough and simplified version of something I've been working on for the next 'album', performed live, and on this occasion with Patterning (iPad) providing percussion - I really like this app, yet despite owning it for a year I hadn't got around to using it in a recording. It's deliberately low in the mix, which probably won't translate well with YouTube audio compression and without headphones.
Reverb form Virsyn's AudioReverb, recorded in AUM.
Footage is of various beaches visited on two separate days at different ends of the country - Norfolk and Northumberland (UK)."

A Nostalgic Phase


Published on Jul 17, 2017 voltlife

"I just got myself a Minilogue, which is the first analogue polyphonic keyboard I've had in a long time, so of course the first thing I did was run it through Kaminiec for liquid phasey sweeps that took me right back to my JMJ-idolising childhood. Add a chugging bassline through plenty of delay, some low-fi analogue percussion and some random squelches, and the 70s electronic nostalgia-fest is complete.

It's not all retro analogue styles, though. The Minilogue chords (shamelessly stolen from you-know-who) go through Kamieniec into Clouds, which I use to pitch shift and freeze the output. Clouds is modulated by an Erica Octasource and occasionally trigger by bursts from Drezno, while Demora and Erbe Verb add echoes and space to the bassline and percussion. There are a few missteps with chords and mixing, but it's fun to play!"

Serge Triple Filter


Published on Jul 17, 2017 theianboddy

"Patch using all 3 flavours of Serge filter namely the Variable Slope VCF, Variable Bandwidth VCF & Variable Q VCF (2 of the latter). Using 4 x VCO's tuned to a 4 part chord which are being cross faded in 2 pairs these are then sent through the 3 different Serge filters which are being modulated via the DUSG & DTG. Starting with slow sweeps things eventually get crazy when the modulation speeds are taken into audio rates. Effects from Serge Wilson & Moogerfooger Analog Delays."

"Servando is showcasing how he uses Elastic Drums together with a Korg Nano Kontrol 2 Midi Controller. You can do this with the current version of Elastic Drums already, but the upcoming Update will make Midi Learning to do such setups much more easy also. In his setup he basically connected the midi controller to some instrument parameters and to some master effects of the Jam page.
Servando is not only one of the best Elastic Drums preset creator he is also doing crazy music tools himself, check out his stuff (links below).
