KORG to Introduce New Limited Edition Copper KROME EX


Just a pic for now. Feature set appears to be the same so this is likely just a new color for the KROME EX.

KORG Introduces a New Volca Sample w/ USB, More Memory, Pattern Locations, Samples, and Bonus Packs

The 2nd image below is the original for comparison. Note the USB port on the front of the new Volca Sample. The name is the same, but KORG appears to be referring to the new version as the Volca Sample 2.

"Improved for More Groove


A new generation volca sample with more memory, features, and connectivity to take your beat making further than ever before.

The volca sample is the compact and powerful sample-based drum machine that has captured attention and creativity of countless players around the world.

The newest version retains all of the features which made the original so popular, and adds a micro USB port for better connectivity, increased sample memory, a new up to date sound library and additional functions for an improved workflow.

Added Features

Take your Beats Further Two new features have been added to this new volca sample that willl help in your music making process:

- Pattern chain mode with 2 different STEP JUMP modes

- Start delay function: Go “off the grid” with the new delay feature that lets you slightly delay the start of any part to achieve different kinds of grooves and swing.

More Memory, Pattern Locations, Samples, and Bonus Packs!

volca sample has an increased memory of 200 memory slots; double its predecessor. 50 are left empty on factory settings so you can load either your own original or pre-made libraries. Pattern locations have also have been increased from 10 to 16. The new generation of volca sample comes with a brand new sound library that has been carefully curated to fit the needs of all music producers and beat makers everywhere.

This great selection of 150 samples will take your production to the next level, making it possible to make tracks on the fly with sounds that will fit every genre, including recent ones such as Future bass, Trap, Lo-Fi hip hop, and many others!"

2nd panel image is the original for comparison purposes only. The New Volca Sample 2 images have the extra USB port on the front panel by the MIDI In port.

"8 voices. 32 discrete VCOs. 15 types of Multi-Mode Filters. 11 Modulation sources with UNLIMITED destinations. Extremely deep and intuitive sequencing options. This is likely the most powerful Analog Synth design of the 21st century.

I acquired this 008 from a world renowned producer/engineer/musician who is credited with all sorts of artists: Bjork, David Byrne, Beck, LCD Soundsystem, Thom Yorke, Vampire Weekend, FKA Twig, etc. It has been well kept in a studio enviornment it's whole life. There is a mark on the front left corner (specifically noted in the final picture) but aside from that this 008 is in mint condition."

CSR CV and Audio basics and tips


Todd Barton

"A little unfolding of the CV and Audio sections of the Control And Signal Router by Doug Clauder at http://studiohsoftware.com
Though it has kinship to the Buchla 210e there are so many more features and, for my mind, a more friendly and intuitive interface.
And big thanks to my Patreon family for their continued support of these video demos and tutorials https://www.patreon.com/synthtodd"

Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator Modular 170 review


Molten Music Technology

"A deep dive into the Teenage Engineering POM 170 synthesizer - the red one! It's a fascinating little fully modular synth with hidden depths, a fabulous sequencer and some flaws but it's both enormous fun to play with and looks amazing in any situation."

Analogue & digital jam with Moog Matriarch and Elektron Digitakt


Jay Hosking

"The Matriarch and Digitakt couldn't be much different — a sprawling analogue synth and a compact digital sampler — but I found that their strengths were really complementary. Here, the Digitakt sequences the Matriarch, and is also taking advantage of the Reel Feels sample pack by @Jogging House, which you should definitely check out. Get it here: https://jogginghouse.bandcamp.com/alb...

Altogether, this came out more lovely and lo-fi than I could have hoped.

Moog Matriarch + Empress Effects Reverb — Four synth voices
Elektron Digitakt — Five sample tracks (four melodic samples, plus a multi-sampled drum track)

Written and recorded in a 48-hour period and uploaded as is, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master."

Smokey Quartz

"In this video I eat the chard! It was pretty good too! Do plants have feelings? Can they scream? In this video, the MIDI Sprout is sending the biofeedback from the brutalized chard to a Farfisa, Jupiter 8, Buchla Music Easel, a piano and a drum set."

Eurorack Techniques: Switches and Maths


Patchwerks Seattle

"In this video resident expert Nick Bigelow shares his technique for using CV controllable switches (WMD SL3KT) along with Make Noise Maths to create unique and precise sources of modulation.

From WMD: "SL3KT (pronounced "Select") is a simple three-channel switch module for Eurorack Modular Synthesizers.

Three independent, two-way switches allow for users two select between different sources or destinations of both CV and Audio Signals. Useful for many tasks in a Eurorack system such as sequence selecting, CV selecting, boolean logic operations, group switching, group routing, gating, waveform mixing, and so much more!"

Order WMD SL3KT here: https://bit.ly/wmd_sl3kt

From Make Noise: "The MATHS music synthesizer module is an analog computer designed for musical purposes. Amongst other things, it will allow you to:
-Generate a variety of linear, logarithmic, or exponential triggered or continuous functions
-Integrate an incoming signal
-With no signal applied, generate a variety of linear, logarithmic, or exponential functions
-Add, subtract and OR up to 4 signals
-Generate analog signals from digital information (Gate / Clock)
-Generate digital information (Gate / Clock) from analog signals
-Delay digital (Gate / Clock) information
-If the above list reads like science rather than music, here is the translation:
Voltage Controlled Envelope or LFO as slow as 25 minutes and as fast as 1khz
-Apply Lag, Slew or Portamento to control voltages
-Change the depth of modulation and modulate backwards!
-Combine up to 4 control signals to create more complex modulations
-Musical Events such as Ramping up or Down in Tempo, on command
-Initiating Musical events upon sensing motion in the system
-Musical note division and / or Flam
-Perfect for modulating the DPO and just about anything else

From Mutable Instruments: "Plaits is the spiritual successor of Mutable Instruments’ best-selling voltage-controlled sound source, Braids. Not just a mkII version: its hardware and software have been redesigned from scratch.

Just like its predecessor, it offers direct access to a large palette of easily tweakable raw sonic material, covering the whole gamut of synthesis techniques.

SIMPLICITY FIRST
Gone are the screen, menu system, hidden settings, and the long list of somewhat redundant synthesis models.

Thanks to additional CV inputs, and to the use of three timbre-shaping parameters per model, Plaits is straightforward to use, and much closer to the ideal of one synthesis technique = one model. What were fragmented islands of sound in Braids are now part of a continuum of sounds.

READY FOR PERCUSSION
Patch a trigger generator or sequencer into Plaits’ trigger input and instantly use the module as a percussive source thanks to its built-in virtual low-pass gate (LPG).

An internal D (decay) envelope generator is normalled to all unpatched CV inputs. Just turn the corresponding attenuverter to add pitch, timbre or morphing modulation. And if plucks and snappy hits are not your thing, patch your own envelope or CV source into the LPG CV input."

"Single owner OB8. It was never gigged or toured and reflects its studio use only in its condition.

Comes will all the original paperwork including the factory preset and path hunt volume 1 cassettes

I would say its mint but listing as excellent. This is not a “for its age” description but rather in spite of its age. It really is the equivalent if that classic car in the garage that was maintained perfectly and only used for Sunday drives."

SYNTH VS SYNTH -- Modal Skulpt or Modal Craft 2.0?


Noir Et Blanc Vie

"First off this is NOT a review, this is a chronicle of my time owning both. I've owned the Skulpt and Craft 2.0 for about a year. Honestly I don't think I could have made this review without having to go through my normal routine with them. So yeah, it took like a year, which did I pick up when I was going to the beach, which one did I enjoy regardless of the shortcoming. Please see the section "from Noir the editor" about some things you'll need to use these with an iPad.

I want to make this clear, it takes time to bring a genuine personal experience and put it into words. So yeah, thank you for your patience."
