Sequential In The Spotlight Interview with JON ATKINSON

You can find the interview on Sequential's website here.

"Jon is a drummer, drum programmer and composer based in London, UK. He has been a fixture on the London session scene for over 20 years, and you can hear his work on movies like Paddington 2, Johnny English Strikes Again, Eddie The Eagle and TV shows like Doctor Who and Inside Number Nine. As a touring drummer he is known as an electronic drums/sampling/triggering expert (or know it all..), and has toured worldwide with over 50 artists.

He now divides his time equally between touring, drum and programming recording sessions (particularly film and TV), writing, producing, and also creative sound design.

Most recently Jon composed the soundtrack to Sony’s PS4/PSVR game 'Jupiter & Mars,' which heavily features the Tempest in its predominantly analog synth-driven score – now available on iTunes/Apple & Spotify.

We chatted with Jon about how he’s using the Tempest in his music"

And for those wondering, no, there is no relation to this site. Matrixsynth in this case stand for the matrix modulation patch bay. The site got it's name from my alias, matrix, and the Oberheim Matrix-6, my first synth. I registered the matrixsynth.com domain name back in 1997, long before the Vostok Matrixsynth.

"The Vostok combines the patch panel convenience and all-in-one instrument approach of the EMS Synthi with the with the open-system nature of eurorack modular. The module selection in the Vostok is second to none as far as versatility and economy.

The Vostok has far more features packing a powerful amount of modular synthesizer power into one small suitcase.

This Vostok is in perfect working condition and only used in the studio.

Matrix Patch Panel

Utilises the EMS VCS3/AKS style patch panel, but with an with increased 22x22 connection size. The matrix panel gives the patching versatility of a modular without the need for confusing & front-panel interfering patch cables. It's the neatest & most versatile method of creating patches.

External Patching

Matrix panels alone do not allow interfacing with external synthesizers & signals, so the Vostok also provides a full complement of front panel jack socket patch points for additional internal & external patching & interfacing.

All circuits are totally analogue with the exception of the MIDI interface.

Utility Modules

Mixer: CV / Audio Mixer. 6 input with Normal and Inverse output
Signal Meter: The meter input is taken from the mixer output
Multiples 1 and 2: 2 multiples, each is 4 way
Adaptor 1: 6.35mm / 3.5mm jack socket converters
Adaptor 2: 6.35mm / 3.5mm jack socket converter wired into the matrix board

Control Modules

MIDI to CV Converter: CV1 (pitch) / CV2 (controller) / Gate / Accent / Legato, MIDI Thru, channel select, manual trigger
Joystick: 2 way joystick controller
Sequencer: 8 step CV & Gate analogue sequencer, range switch, manual step

Audio Modules

VCO1: Saw / Square waves, Pulse Width, Glide, Sync
VCO2: Saw / Square waves, Pulse Width, Glide, Sync
VCO3: Saw / Square waves, Pulse Width, Glide, Sync
Noise: White noise source

Voltage Controlled Multimode Filter:

2 Filters based on Korg MS20 circuitry. Independent Cut Off and Resonance for Low Pass Filters and High Pass Filters. The VCLPF and VCHPF combine to produce a 3rd filter type, Band Pass

Voltage Controlled Amplifier:

VCA wired in series with the VCF output. With 1/4" jack audio output.

Ring Modulator: AC ring mod

CV Modules

EG 1: ADSR envelope generator, Norla/Inverse output, Repeat function
EG 2: ADSR envelope generator, Normal/Inverse output, Repeat function
VCLFO1: Ramp, Reverse Ramp, Square,Triangle waves, Voltage controlled frequency
VCLFO2: Ramp, Reverse Ramp, Square,Triangle waves, Voltage controlled frequency

Sample & Hold:
S&H with Slew

Matrix Patch Panel

Utilising ﾑEMS VCS3ﾒstyle patch panel with 22x22 connections. The patching versatility of a modular without the need for confusing & front-panel interfering patch cables.

Lead Patching

Jack socket patch points provided for additional internal & external patching & interfacing.
LEDs:13 of them! 4x7 segment wavetable display

Dimensions

Dimensions shown do not include feet/handles/catches/corners pieces. Complete closed case: 10-13/16"H x 17-3/8"W x 7-7/16"D Lid depth: 2" inside (enough to leave in patch leads)"

Cristian Vogel & Bjørn Svin @SUPERBOOTH19

Published on May 21, 2019 Superbooth Official

"Cristian Vogel is a British DJ and producer who currently lives in Berlin. In the 90s he worked with radio host Dave Clark on his first EP „The Infra EP“. It was followed by various releases, some on Mille Plateaux, also remixes for Thom Yorke, Radiohead and Maximo Park. Together with Jamie Lidell he formed the duo Super Collider.

The Danish Bjørn Svin also started to produce electronic music in the early 90s. In March 2019 his recent Album „2 Point 5 Step Pets“ came out, seven years after the experimental and relaxed „Browen“. Although „2 Point 5 Step Pets“ experiments with complex industrial rhythms again, Vogel and Svin are united by a shifting away from the dancefloor, heading to a more experimental approach to electronic music."

CR68-M-TMG DIY-retrokit for Roland's CR-68

2019/05 - CR-68-M-TMG demosong Published on May 21, 2019 Stereoping

"The CR68-M-TMG is a DIY-retrokit for Roland's CR-68. 'M' stands for Midi as all voices can be triggerd via Midi - including Accent. The 'TMG' describes the cooler part - the PCB also holds the three missing instruments of the big sister CR-78 which the CR-68 normally lacks: Tambourine (TB), Metalbeat (MB) and Guiro (GU). All voices were carefully recreated based on original schematics. Tambourine is available as longer and shorter decay and Guiro in high and low pitch. Each of the 3 drumvoices uses a special inductor to build a very steep bandpassfilter definately needed to form the characteristic timbre. We've given a little batch of these inductors into production on rare, old winding machines to get the perfect sound.

This mellow demosong shows details of the PCB and electronic parts as well as some footage of the CR-68 itself. The drums are - of course - coming from a CR-68 equipped with this retrofit. The song introduces the 3 instuments one after the other. Typography and visual helpers like realtime analyzer and oscilloscope will guide you to easily identify the single TB/MB/GU sounds in the mix.

The CR68-M-TMG retrokit is available now in the stereoping shop. Production run is limited due to these special coils."

"Each year at Superbooth seeing Justin from Metro Modular is like a synth history lesson. Talking me through his eurorack modules and designs based on now vintage circuits and designs often by some lesser known but equally important designers through synth history. This year he's branched out into the big blue and beautiful world of his experimental designs for the Buchla format. With surround panning, analogue computing, DIY power options and re makes of 1960s circuits I'm looking forward to seeing these products develop and come to life."

4 band distortion, compression, transient design + more from DPW Design // Superbooth 2019

Published on May 21, 2019 DivKidVideo

"It's always a pleasure to see Dan from DPW Design and even better to see some designs and ideas enter the world of Eurorack modular. His MOG Distortion is a four band distortion and guitar interface that also offers click free on/off modulation for switching distortion in and out almost like a tremolo that can work through audio rates. There's also the new shaper that offers compression, transient shaping and sustain control (familiar to those on an SPL Transient Designer some of you may know). That alone has the potential for some serious dynamic shaping of percussion, FM patches, rhythmic drones and FX etc. I hoping I can play with one soon."
