The video breaks down like this:

Bubblesound Instruments Releases 141 EG/VCA/LFO Eurorack Module


"The 141 is a EG/VCA/LFO that fills in gaps and helps clear out some case clutter.

The Envelope Generator is based around the Roland SH101/M-140 era transistor EG giving the 141 a very snappy feel.

The EG is sent to the ENV OUT and to a VCA for the velocity sensitivity section of the circuit. The VEL IN is normalized to +12V, so when there is no input the VEL OUT is the same as the ENV OUT. But when positive voltage is applied to VEL IN the output of VEL OUT will vary as the voltage varies. The 141 ships set up for a 0-5V inout for the velocity sensitive VCA. This makes is compatible with most analog sequencers and modules from companies like Expert Sleepers. There is a 0-10V jumper setting on the back to make the 141 compatible with the Beat Step Pro and other CV sources that put out 0-10V.

The INV OUT is an inverted output of the EG with a range of 0 to -10V.

An Audio VCA is included and normalized to the EG by the 2 switches near the Audio Input. The VCA has Linear and Expo responses and the CV can either be the normal EG output or the velocity sensitive EG.

The LFO has a range from about 10 second to a little over 200Hz. The Triangle and Square outputs are always active. The Square is normalized to the Gate IN and when there is nothing plugged into it the LFO loops the EG. When an external Gate is plugged in the Sync switch can sync the LFO to the external gate or allow it to run freely.

Width - 6HP
Depth - 35MM
Draw - +60mA -50mA
LFO Range: 10 sec - 200 Hz
EG Range
Attack - 1.5MS - 4 seconds
Decay - 4MS - 12 seconds
Sustain - 0-10V
Release - 4MS - 12 seconds"

3-Voice Patch using the VBrazil Eurorack Modules


Published on Sep 13, 2017 Ícaro Ferre

"The patch in this video was created using mostly VBrazil / VB Modular eurorack modules. The idea behind this patch was to use the wave switcher in my two Lizard2 modules (mk2 and mk3) to work as “gate sequencers” since the switcher is linked to the sequencer stage. I’m using the Lizard2 MK3 to sequence the Aether Oscillator and the Lizard2 MK2 as the main clock and switcher for the drum voice.
What’s cool about this patch is that I can basically change the sequence by moving around the signals going into the switchers.

For the main voice, I’m sending different outputs of the Aether VCO and switching between them using the switcher in the Lizard2 MK3. The output of the Lizard2 is then fed into the Overfolder and finally into the Bastl Instruments Skis (which I’m using as a VCA being controlled by the VBrazil ADSR).
For the drum voice, I’m sending a sine wave and some digital noise out of the MultiLFO module and into different inputs of the Lizard2 MK2 switcher to create a kick and a snare. I’m then using the 2 envelopes of the Skis to controle the amplitude and pitch of the MultiLFO (which are being triggered by the main clock)."

Expressive Organelle


Published on Sep 13, 2017 Mark Harris

"This is a technical preview of my MEC application allowing an Eigenharp to be used directly with an Organelle, to allow a more expressive interface.

The aim was simple, add more expressive possibilities but to keep the portability of the setup, something that can be taken out and about and enjoyed. No computer required :)

notes:
- Im running off a USB battery with a 9v converter, which would last 12-20 hours depending on usage.
- MEC will work with any Eigenharp controller - Alpha, Tau or Pico, and runs on Mac, Linux (x86 and ARM)
- Pico and Axoloti are both bus powered off the Organelle.
- Axoloti is running an MPE enabled patch, sound is sent to Organelle via a small patch cable.
- The Pico would typically be held in the hands, and also features breath control... but was a bit difficult to film, so sat it on a table.
- Sound is recorded directly on the camera, all effects are from either the Organelle or Axoloti."

Modular Workshop - Live @ Analogue Zone Showroom E03


Streamed live 36 minutes ago

"Modular Workshop - Live from the Showroom

This week's episode still focuses on the Stillson Hammer MKII.
Ramin will work backwards this time: he will build a track from scratch, so that you can see the whole patch built up live. We will show how to program the Stillson Hammer for bass and leads, and the Varigate 8+ for building a 4/4 kick first followed by the clap. Then he will shift grooves for the percussion section, while utilising the SH's modulation outputs on the Mutant series modules' parameters. We'll end up with a techno groove with a plethora of possibilities on the fly. Join us & get inspired with us!

Modular Workshop is a weekly live series from the Analogue Zone Budapest showroom with our experienced modular electronic music performer & friend, Ramin Sayyah. The series was created in order to introduce either one particular module or a very special selection of module-combinations to make various kinds of music with them.

A new episode is streamed live every Wednesday on Analogue Zone's Youtube channel. After a short live performance, Ramin walks us through the building blocks of the patch and answers any questions raised by the viewers.

Tune in every Wednesday afternoon for the show and feel free to ask questions directly during the live stream - also let us know if you want to pay a visit to the showroom during the live show: we can accept a few guests too.

Audio Damage Releases Axon 2 - AI Driven Drum Synth


Axon 2 is now available at the Audio Damage website here.

Details:

"Axon 2 is a drum synth driven by artificial intelligence. (Well, 'intelligence' might be a strong word. Artificial something-or-other.) An experimental instrument, Axon uses a modified artificial neural network as a sequencer, and features seven FM-based percussion voices, that are really a single 18-operator FM voice.

If that sounds weird, you ain't seen nothing yet. It is surprisingly intuitive once you get the knack of it, and is capable of all-new, complex rhythms that repeat in surprising ways. It often gets referenced as a "random sequence generator," but there is nothing random in Axon; it is entirely determinative.

The sequencer features seven "neurons" that trigger a voice and send a pulse when they have received a predetermined number of pulses. You can wire the output of any neuron to the input of any other (with built-in loop detection to prevent runaway feedback), and in this manner pre-program the artificial neural network without having to go through a "learning" phase.

The seven individual drum voices, each triggered by its attendant neuron, are 2-operator FM voices in a configuration to best make percussion sounds, with additional FM and AM busses that all voices send to and receive from. Each voice has a HPF, distortion circuit, and white noise generator to provide a full range of percussion-oriented voicing individually, while interacting with each other in new and unique ways.

Features

• Artificial Neural Network sequencer features seven neurons, and is easily programmed to create strange new repeating rhythms.

• Seven FM percussion voices that also buss together to create a single monolithic complex percussion synthesizer.

• Full mixer with pan, level, mute, and solo on each voice.

• Built-in stereo delay with X/Y pad control over feedback and filter frequency, for live playability.

• MIDI in and out, for driving Axon from DAW and hardware sequencers, or driving your drum rack or other samples from Axon.

• Internal transport for non-synchronized playback.

• Resizable vector-based user interface.

• Drawn reciprocation dingle arm to reduce sinusoidal depleneration.

• XML-based cross-platform, human-readable preset system, with copy/paste, for easy transferring of your own presets and third-party offerings."

"Being Italian, it is our precise and hugely pleasant duty to honor those Italians who were able to make the world a better place by creating immortal artworks and unforgettable emotions. Among those there is the biggest of the big, Luciano Pavarotti, that we want to celebrate - 10 years after his untimely passing - with a video as irreverent as full of love for a man that keeps sending chills down the spines of us Opera enthusiasts.

Siamo italiani e non possiamo (né vogliamo) esimerci dall'omaggiare chi dei nostri connazionali ha regalato al mondo opere immortali ed emozioni straordinarie. Tra questi c'è il grande tra i grandi, Luciano Pavarotti, che a 10 anni dalla scomparsa celebriamo con un video tanto irriverente quanto pregno d'amore nei confronti di chi per sempre farà scorrere brividi lungo le schiene di noi appassionati d'Opera.

ROLAND SYSTEM 100 MODEL 101 TUTORIAL & OVERVIEW


Published on Sep 13, 2017 once upon a synth

"This is a tutorial and overview of the Roland System 100 Model 101. The Model 101 is the keyboard synth part of the system. The system also included speakers, a synth expander, a mixer and a sequencer. This was a system of synths made by Roland in the 70s. It sounds really smooth and fat and has that classic vintage Roland sound which can also be found on the bigger brothers SH-5 and SH-7. In this video I go over each component, knob, button and jack on the front panel of the synth.

This is a fairly simple and standard synth on spec. It has a single oscillator, a single ADSR envelope generator, a single LFO and a combo low pass and high pass filter. What sets it apart is that it's semi-modular so you get to patch in and out the different components. It also has a really nice basic tone. It's one of those synths that has a large sweet spot and sounds good in almost all settings.

Here's that synthesis 101 video I was referring to in the video (if you're new to synthesizers):"

SUBTRACTIVE SYNTHESIS AND MODULAR TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS ~ Featuring the Kilpatrick Audio Phenol

Published on Apr 5, 2017 once upon a synth

"In this video I explain the basics of subtractive synthesis with an emphasis on modular synths. This is intended for complete beginners to synthesizers. We cover concepts like timbre, synthesis, harmonic content, the fundamental, control voltage, gate, trigger, audio vs control signals. The video starts off with theory and we end the second half with a practical demo using the Kilpatrick Audio Phenol semi-modular synth. This tutorial is not gear specific and the concept should apply to any subtractive synth."

Polyend Seq and Poly - Pop Music feat. Mutable Instruments Edges and Anushri


Published on Sep 13, 2017 isvisible / isinvisible

"I've had the Polyend Seq sequencer for a few weeks now, but not really had much of a chance to try it out, so this is my first simple effort... and it ended up spitting out pop music!

The melody and chords are going via the Poly midi to cv module to the Mutable Instruments Edges module and the bassline via Poly to the Anushri module.

The only other accompaniment is percussive, from the Touched by Sound DRM1 sequenced by Seq and the Wurlitzer Swingin' Rhythm (modified with trigger in's) sequenced by the Iron Ether Pithoprakta.

There's lots of other stuff patched up, but that's all for another track I'm working on."

ARP Odyssey sounds


Published on Sep 13, 2017 Alba Ecstasy

"ARP Odyssey Korg sounds. This synth is about nuances. Any slight movement of a slider or a knob can bring another mood, feeling, sensation: from shy, mellow, dreamy sounds, to bold leads and basses and shiny pads and strings. After two days of tweaking, this demo is not covering even 30% of the sonic capabilities of the #ARPOdyssey.
I hope you'll enjoy and change your thoughts - as I did - about the ARP Odyssey!
PS: I'm really thinking of a second unit!
