Percussa Adds Physical Modeling Membrane Module (PMM) to SSP

percussa ssp - physical modeling membrane module demo Published on Oct 13, 2018 PERCUSSA

"short demo for the new physical modeling membrane module on the percussa super signal processor (ssp) eurorack module - membrane excitation triggered by make noise MATHS as well as internal square wave LFO on the SSP. Power and tension modulations of the membrane using low-frequency noise generators on the SSP with offset applied via the DC generator module on the SSP. Learn more about the SSP at http://www.percussa.com/"

via the Kickstarter campaign:

"Time for another update! In this one we introduce the physical modeling membrane module (PMM) which was a kickstarter stretch goal module. We also provide an example preset to go with the module.

Download links in the full post at https://forum.percussa.com/t/update-13102018-physical-membrane-module-pitch-tracking-fixes/513

Physical modeling membrane (PMM) module + DEMO VIDEO

The module has the following inputs:

Gate input to trigger the virtual "hammer" that strikes the virtual drum membrane (also called the excitation)
Power input / parameter to control with how much force the virtual hammer strikes the drum
Tension to control how loose or tight the drum membrane is (controls the pitch of the resulting drum sound)
You can feed an external trigger into the gate input or just use an internal square wave LFO on the SSP if you wish. In my demo video I do both, first with a make noise MATHS and afterwards with a square wave LFO. In the video I also demo modulation of the power and tension inputs using low-frequency noise generators. The tension modulation signal is offset using a DC generator module.

Pitch tracking fixes

Pitch tracking bugs reported by @IvanS and others are now fixed for all the modules that have a pitch input
Coarse/fine frequency settings for modules with a pitch input now no longer affect tuning but are simply an offset for the frequency calculated from the incoming pitch signal. Frequency modulation received via the frequency input is applied on top of this offset and the frequency derived from the pitch signal.
If you feed a pitch signal into an LFO or other module with a pitch input, and you don't want a frequency offset, remember to set coarse/fine to zero on the p-page.

That's all for now, we hope you enjoy this new module!

Ciat Lonbarde Sidrax Analog Touch Wood Synthesizer Organ

via this auction

"Ciat-Lonbarde Sidrax
Zero Sonic Issues (Banana Cables Not Included)

The sidrax organ follows a lineage of electronic musical instruments based on touch. it was redesigned twice, first as sidrassi, then as sidrazzi. it has seven wooden bars that you press to express seven oscillators within. each oscillator has its own fine tuning slider, embedded right within its bar. also, there is a master pitch knob, and a master chaos knob. the master chaos knob makes the instrument go from pure triangle tones to a nest of noise. it does this by gradually increasing modulation from one oscillator to the next in a circular pattern. sidrax has enough bars to construct sweetest melodies from the triangle waves, whereas tetrax is a simple four-bar entity, with complexity of tone for funky bass.

there are 44 modulation points brought forth as banana jacks. they are arranged in seven columns, representing the seven bars. their layout is shifted diagonally, to allow inputs in proximity to outputs. this is for touch-playability; you can make banana jack metal studs that can be squished by hand to gesture-patch the instrument. inputs are cool colors: blue, green, and grey. outputs are hot colors: red and orange. the grey jacks are parallel inputs with the master knobs: the one on the left is for master pitch, the right one is master chaos. the color allotment for each bar is as follows:

Roland jp08 vs Jupiter 8 detailed audio comparison - 720 HD for accurate sound

Published on Jan 31, 2016 SynthBae

"Turn on subtitles CC for extra info about what you're hearing. Sorry the video is not completely clear my camera was playing up but the sound should be good if you are watching in HD, the settings of both synths were of course the same during the tests to properly compare them.

be warned this video is long! I will make a table of contents so you can jump to a relevant section of the vid if you want to see a certain thing compared. Please feel free to add search points in the comments to help other skip to the relevant parts, I will update here.

filter : @ 21:56

Below I will post my opinion of the jp08 vs the real Roland Jupiter 8.

The things I compare between both machines are:
1. all waveforms (square, saw, tri, sine, and pulse width)
2. oscillator crossmod and sync
3. one or both oscillators
4. filter with and without resonance, both 12 and 24 db modes sweeping and static
5. single note and chord sequences

My findings and opinion:
I found on the whole the jp08 to be interesting, and Roland have done a great job in re-creating the sound digitally. Whilst I think you need to take into account every Jup 8 will have a very slightly different sound at the same settings due to calibration (I have not done mine for a while) There are however a few differences beyond that which I noticed and make enough of a difference to the experience and perhaps you will hear them too in the video.

1) the square wave doesn't sound as square on the jp08 as it does on the jupiter. It sounds like the width of the pulse has been very slightly narrowed on the jp08. it sounded like it did not go wide enough.

2) probably the biggest difference and I think a huge oversight is that each oscillator voice in the jupiter 8 will have a different phase compared with the other voices, you dont notice on single notes but when you play chords they beat pleasantly on the jupiter 8 and just gives it a richer fuller sound compared to the jp08. It's a pity there is not a slop setting like on the new prophet 6, I think that would help here. (even though that is analog)

3) slightly more pronounced resonance on the jp08 especially at higher settings.

4) saw tooth waveform slightly quieter on jp08 compared to the square.

5) triangle smoother on the jp08, though I think could be a calibration issue on my jup8 where I could calibrate it for a more symmetrical triangle.

Other than that it was fun to play with though the sliders are definitely too small so probably best operated from a controller. I definitely won't be getting rid of my Jup 8 anytime soon but it's nice to see Roland recreating something closer than their previous attempts, if they could add voice phase variation it would be great....now if only they'd do something analogue again :-)"

How to do basic modifications for the korg ms20m desktop kit

Published on Mar 23, 2015

"This is my first youtube tutorial so I'm sorry for the dodgyness of camera and audio etc. I had to use my phone balanced on a stand.

This is intended for beginners who'd like to know how to wire up the basic factory patch points on the circuit board (pcb) to some external jack sockets. If you haven't soldered before I recommend looking up some how to videos for soldering and learn some of the basics, it's not hard at all to do these mods but you should probably practice soldering a few wires etc. to get a feel for it if you haven't done it before.

* so far all mods work EXCEPT THE VCO MOD INPUT (fault on board)

Critter & Guitari - I Take Up-Quantized for Organelle

Published on Oct 13, 2018 Critter & Guitari

"Download this patch here: http://organelle.io
I Take Up - Quantized stitches together individual, quantized chunks of recorded sound to form longer loops. New recordings are added to the end of the loop. You can have as many as 24 loops-one per key-up to 10 seconds each. Construct precise rhythms at a specific tempo. To be in sync with external audio, you must tell the patch the tempo of incoming audio, and how long you want to record for (1/32, 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, or 1/1). Your recorded note length choices will effect a loop’s rhythm/vibe. Record a perfect measure or an odd-timed, herky-jerky jam. It's fun to get crazy and easy to stay synced!"

X1L3 - DDX - circuit bent yamaha DD6 drum machine with midi

Published on Oct 13, 2018 X1L3

"Another session on the DD6 with DDX mod for something to do. Slow lead in to a 303 driven second half. Just messing with the pitch and filter cv over the midi triggering. Midi is coming in from the daw and cv from a yarns interface in my eurorack. Which i'm using two channels on and the key roll in the daw to set the two CV levels.

DDX pads can be triggered via midi or gate inputs and the glitch array can be accessed manually or via midi. A fine machine for abstract percussive elements, especially when under pinned with a regular beat to drive it. It can also serve as a nasty fx and noise generator which will be illustrated in some more uploads soon."

Off All The Terrible Ideas - Live Soundtracking with Yamaha CS2x and DJXII

"This is one of my favourite bit of found footage I've stumbled across in recent time, a kid being towed behind a motorbike on a go-kart, looks safe to me!

So I thought I'd try a bit of experimental live soundtrack work with a couple of keyboards connected via midi, the Yamaha DJXII providing drums and the Yamaha Cs2x providing an acidic line using it's arpeggiator. Relatively sucessful I think :)"
