Patching Panda NVHS and Punch Eurorack Modules

Patching Panda NVHS and Punch | Modular Adventures Ep.13 Published on Mar 29, 2018 Robert Rhoades Music

"Huge Thanks to Luis for sending these over! They've been gigged and get used in nearly every patch for making percussion or just an easy one stop VCA envelope combo!

Check them out at Thonk:

https://www.thonk.co.uk/shop/patching...
https://www.thonk.co.uk/shop/patching..."

"The N.H.V.S is a drum creator and shaper module, designed to create a vast palette of percussive sounds using external waveforms mixed with an internal noise core, VCF and VCA.

Features:

808 inspired noise circuit.
BP and LP voltage controlled 2-pole filter with resonance.
Internal VCA with fast response, voltage controlled decay and logarithmic fall.
External input

"Punch is a compact dual VCA especially designed for percussive sounds. The VCA Decay can be turned from smooth to more aggressive logarithmic responses and can be activated with triggers, gates or cv’s. When logarithmic response is activated, a bit of the curve is applied to the Attack of the envelope as well for a more natural percussive shape.

Features:

Dual VCA with voltage controlled Decay.
Logarithmic fall response.
Fast Attack (when logarithmic response is turned, a bit of the curve is applied to the attack as well as for a more natural percussive envelope).

Rebel Technology Introduces the Magus, Wizard, & Alchemist on Kickstarter

Magus Modular Synthesizer Toolkit 2018 Published on Apr 5, 2018

"Algorithms are modern day magic spells. Add magic to your music with the Magus, a patchable, programmable synthesizer toolkit."


Magus KickBox Demo Published on Apr 4, 2018 Rebel Technology

"KickBox is a groovebox patch running on the Magus synthesizer toolkit. It makes a beat with hats and a kick, and adds a virtual analogue subtractive synth voice with a killer 8-pole resonant low pass filter.

Realtime parameter tweaking and 24 analogue patch points give you complete creative control over how the sound is produced."


Wizard PolySub Demo Published on Apr 4, 2018 Rebel Technology

"PolySub is a polyphonic subtractive synth patch running on the Wizard. PolySub has 8 voices true polyphony with virtual analogue oscillators, waveshape and PWM morph, 8-pole resonant filter and ADSR envelopes.
In this demo it is sequenced with the CV and gate outputs of a Korg SQ-1 but it can also be played by connecting a MIDI device."


Alchemist Ping Pong Delay Demo Published on Apr 4, 2018 Rebel Technology

"Ping Pong Delay running on Alchemist, synchronised to the trigger output of a TR808 drum machine. The trigger keeps all the beats tight and allows the delay to bounce anything from 16th notes and triplets to full bars around the stereo space."

Check out the KickStarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

"The Magus, Wizard and Alchemist are all built on the Rebel Technology OpenWare firmware and can run the same patch programs as two of our existing products: the OWL Pedal and OWL Modular. This means that our entire library of more than 200 patch programs is ready to use right now!"

Magus Synthesizer Toolkit Prototype

"Algorithms are the magic potions and spells of the modern day. In electronic music, they make the wooshes, booms, squeals, screams and bops that might have us contemplate the universe, reach personal insight, or dance like mad for days on end. Join us on a journey to create ever more powerful algorithms, and to make them open and available to everyone. We already have a community of hundreds of talented synthesists sharing their work. Let's make it bigger, let's make it better, let's do it together!

The Magus is like having a compact modular synthesizer without being limited by the modules you've got in it.

Unlike traditional synthesizers, the Magus doesn't confine itself to a fixed function or paradigm. Whether you want granular, additive, FM, subtractive, spectral, chaotic or stochastic synthesis, Magus gives you the freedom to pick the right algorithm for the job and then lets you loose to patch up a storm.

Enjoy the creative power of a hardware synthesizer with the flexibility of audio plugins.

If our existing library of algorithms doesn't do it for you, you can even create your own, for truly unbounded creative freedom. And you can use any one of more than two hundred patches from our library as a starting point. Patches can be authored in Max Gen, Pure data, FAUST or C++, giving you an impressive range of powerful musical programming tools to choose from."

Wizard Minisynth Prototype

"The Magus' little brother is the Wizard. It runs the same patches and is also patchable as well as programmable. This means that you can change the signal flow on the fly and connect it to other kit. It is incredibly compact but still sports five assignable control knobs and four buttons, and a total of six patch points. Like the Magus it has both USB MIDI device and host connections so that you can plug your favourite controller straight in - be it keyboard, drum pads, sequencer, grid, or multidimensional controller. It makes an excellent stand-alone synth or effects unit and has huge integration capabilities."

Alchemist Microsynth Prototype

"The Alchemist is the baby of the family, but it packs a powerful punch. With four knobs, two trigger buttons, one mode button and trigger and CV inputs it amazingly still fits in your hand.

All three devices have a USB socket and can be powered by USB or by an external DC supply."

Lyra-8 Organismic Synthesizer With Volca Kick

Published on Apr 4, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

Strange Envelopes: Pitch Envelopes for Slurs and Glissandi

Published on Apr 4, 2018 MAKEN0ISE

"Allen Strange wrote the book on modular synthesizers in the 1970s. Electronic Music: Systems, Techniques, and Controls. Unfortunately since the expanded 1982 edition, it has never been reprinted, and in today’s landscape where more people have access to modular synths than ever before, very few have access to the knowledge contained within. This video series will explore patches both basic and advanced from Strange’s text. Even the simplest patches here yield kernels of knowledge that can be expanded upon in infinite ways. I have been heavily influenced by Strange since long before I became a modular synth educator. Please share this knowledge far and wide.

This video shows using envelopes for pitch rather than amplitude, using the "keyboard" of Pressure Points for amplitude instead: a reversal of the most typical patch. The result is variable-volume slurs, which can be changed to glissandi by patching a sample and hold in series."

Hardware vs Software Synth Showdown with Woody & Espen Craft

Published on Apr 4, 2018 Espen Kraft

"Woody from the excellent channel "Woody Piano Shack" has thrown down the gauntlet! He's challenged me to make an original piece of music using my old hardware synths from the 80s which he will then try to recreate using software and emulations. In the box.

As I gladly accept these kinds of challenges, I've cooked up a track I think he'll enjoy recreating.
You can too as I've included the live stems for the track here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OjT...

For my version I've used the following gear:

Yamaha RX11 - Drums
Roland D-550 - Pads
Roland Juno 2 - Synth Guitar
Roland JX-8P - Poly synth
Roland Juno 6 - Bass (sampled in S-10 for MIDI sequencing)
Yamaha DX7 - Fairlight Flutes and Italo Poly synth
Yamaha TX802 - PPG Digital Guitar Bells
Elka EK22 - Synth bells

I play live on top of the sequenced synths controlled by the Roland MC50 sequencer."

Turing-A-Ding-Dong (modular synth jam)

Published on Apr 4, 2018 Little Bitchard

"Got myself a Turing Machine mk2 with Volts & Pulses expanders a good while back, so here's a long overdue test drive. Also I need to clear the patch and am (once again) saving it this way ;)

The audio on this video is slightly late compared to video and you can see the amount of offset when I patch in the hihats at around 45s (the bright yellow module with blue knob). For some reason my camera rig (iPhone 5) made a mess of the audio and I had to correct it afterwards. Can't be bothered to fix it better, sorry!

Gear-wise it's Turing Machine mk2 & Flame Clockwork running the show, triggering percussion, chord and envelope generators. Few of the trigger outputs are combined through Doepfer A166 logic module eg. to have "relaxed" and "intense" variations for the kick drum.

Percussion sounds are from my modified DSPSynth Drum8 (custom diy Linn Drum soundset), bass from TTSH with melody "sequenced" from Xaoc Batumi (= square wave ;), chords from Qu-Bit Chord with melody sequenced from Volts and quantized with Penrose Quantizer.

Chord audio is split parallel to lowpass filter and spring reverb of TTSH and to lowpass filter (Dtech VCF) and delay effect on iPad (Master FX app). TTSH spring reverb is chained to mono, with left channel feeding to hipass filter (BF22) feeding right channel to bandpass filter (Polivoks VCF 2).

Uhh I guess that covers most of it. Using some CV mixers, attenuators and VCAs of course.
