Sneak Peak of Behringer's New Eurororack Moog Modules


Go Go Eurorack! Our new modular synth case Published on Dec 11, 2019 BEHRINGER

Comes in at 4:48. 923 Noise & Filter - Low Pass, High Pass, Noise Source (white & pink). Note Aion Modular currently makes a eurorack version of the 923 and more. The 923 of course is a clone of the original Moog Modular 923, found in the Model 15.

"Check out our new eurorack case Eurorack Go for modular synths. Two times 140 hb of space, beefy power supply, stand and carrying handle. Götz is unboxing the case, builds a modular synth with two Model Ds, a Behringer Neutron and a couple of modules."

New intellijel Tete Expander for the Tetrapad


Published on Dec 11, 2019 Intellijel


"Tête is the long awaited and highly anticipated expander for the Tetrapad. Tête takes control of Tetrapad’s mode selection and operating functions, allowing Tetrapad to do what it does best — act as a control surface, which it does both for controlling external modules and for interfacing with the advanced processing power within Tête.

Tête + Tetrapad operates in one of three different modes—

Voltages
Up to 16 voltage storage locations (grid) with 8 voltages stored at each location. You have the choice to record and playback your recall of these locations in a looper style (just play freely and spend arbitrary amount of time at any location) or as a clocked sequence (SH-101 style). Additionally you can traverse the matrix using the X and Y CV inputs to get Cartesian style sequencing. There is also variable slew that allows you to morph/glide between the values.

Notes
You can create sequences or loops in chord, scales or keyboard mode. The isomorphic keyboard grid can be set to 4, 12, or 16 notes. There are real-time performance looping, transposition and inversion capabilities via the CV inputs and dedicated loop button. In sequencer mode each step can be a tie, rest, or gate with size 25/50/75%. Basically we have created a way to very quickly and intuitively make chord sequences that are very musical and easy to manipulate. It is difficult to summarize in words but we will be sure to create some videos to demonstrate how easy and fun this is to play with. It definitely represents something unique in the landscape of Eurorack sequencers.

Combo
In this mode you can loop record your performance on any combination of the following functions: fader, bipolar fader, crossfader, euclidean sequencer, toggle switches or LFO. Kind of like Elektron style parameter locking but all of the motions is recorded continuously instead of just in slices. Instantly turn a simple patch into a highly animated and complex beast. The chosen function determines the type of signal (CV, note, trigger, gate, etc.) sent from each of Tetrapad’s eight independent outputs, while its multitude of multi-colored LEDs keep you informed of exactly what’s happening within each mode."

Fixed Filter Bank & Ring Modulator - Midweek Modular Moments


Published on Dec 11, 2019 DreamsOfWires

"No music, just sound examples - I keep finding new ways of using the AJH Synth Fixed Filter Bank 914, this time with an envelope, in a similar way to how I'd use one with a conventional filter, and with the Ring SM in the second half. Turn on Subtitles for step-by-step commentary.

Rather than controlling the VCF frequency/cutoff, the envelope is changing the mix level between the black and white bands of the FFB. This way you can sculpt two very different filtered timbres and morph between them, not simply varying the degree of filtering along a single band, as you might with a typical low pass filter, for example. Here I'm transitioning between a brittle sound, with the lower frequencies on the white side mostly off, and a bass-heavy sound on the black side. The FFB can produce some huge low frequencies, even from one VCO, but you can hear it more so in the second part of the video with the ring modulator sounds, where it starts clipping and sounding pretty awesome in my opinion. I keep finding new uses for this filter, and it's encouraging me to try new things.

I'm still only able to construct simple videos, as I'm editing them on an iPad whilst my MacBook is out of action, so there'll be no outdoor video footage for a while.

New ADDAC ADDAC216 Sum & Difference Eurorack Module


via ADDAC System

"There are two equal sections in this module labeled A and B.

This module is a peculiar type of mixer that instead of just summing two input signals (X & Y) it also allows the possibility to subtract the two signals.
It works both for audio and CV signals and hence the possibility to get the diference of two CVs or cancel the phase of two audio signals. The resulting signal, of sum or subtraction, is then routed through a switchable (on/off) full rectification circuit labeled: Absolute. After this the gain of the mixed signal goes through another attenuverter labeled: Amplitude to control the resulting signal gain which, being an attenuverter, also allows the possibility to invert the incoming signal. After the Amplitude comes an AC/DC coupling switch followed by an bipolar Offset knob.

Besides the normal output there’s also an inverted output for each of the A & B sections.
The outputs of section A & B are also summed and sent to the Average Output.

Using a single input, just the X or Y input, the module can also be used as a simple dual Attenuverter & Offset CV processor with full rectification and AC coupling options.

Features:

2 independent sections each with:
2 inputs with gain attenuverters
Amplitude attenuverter and bipolar Offset
Absolute/Bipolar and AC/DC switches
Output and inverted output
2 leds monitor the Output polarities and gain.

Average mix output of both sections"

Elektronische Musik with Tape & Microsound Music Machine


Published on Dec 11, 2019

"In the early 1950s, there was a brief competition between Elektronische Musique, made exclusively from electronically generated sounds, and Musique Concréte, which focused on recorded sounds from the so-called real world. In this video we will generate and manipulate purely synthetic sounds using the Tape & Microsound Music Machine.

Karlheinz Stockhausen - Studie I

Published on Jul 9, 2013 pelodelperro

"Studie I, electronic music (1953)

The composition was created in the Cologne Studio for Electronic Musik of the NWDR between July and November 1953. In the final stages of editing, Stockhausen commemorated the birth of his first daughter, Suja, on 25 September 1953 by inserting a "serially unauthorized" 108 Hz (in a phrase attributed to Richard Toop), "one-gun salute". The world premiere took place in Cologne on 19 October 1954 in the concert series Musik der Zeit, together with Stockhausen's Studie II and works by Henri Pousseur, Karel Goeyvaerts, Herbert Eimert, and Paul Gredinger.

The work was important amongst other reasons because it was made (as were the works by Pousseur, Goeyvaerts, and Gredinger) not with the use of (electronic) instruments, like the Trautonium or Melochord, but rather out of pure sine tones. For the first time, complete compositional control was achieved, even over timbre. The ideal was to produce each sound synthetically and thus separately determined in its details: The conscious organization of music extends to the micro-acoustic sphere of the sound material itself. It is serially organized on all musical. [wikipedia.org]
