Quincas Moreira - Live on Cyberpunk Day


Synth Diy Guy

"Watch award-winning electronic composer Quincas Moreira perform live synthwave music to celebrate Cyberpunk Day"

Radio Morning


davidryle

"A real time recording of the Moog Subharmonicon, EH Canyon Looper, Empress Reverb, Encore Frequency Shifter, a custom RADIO module for the 5U large format modular, Dove Audio WTF VCO, synthesizers.com Q150 filter and Echo Fix EF-X2 tape delay.
The radio module is voltage controlled by a Q119 step sequencer from synthesizers.com. It is run into the frequency shifter and a mix of several noise and stored random voltages from the Sputnik West Coast Random Source (a Buchla Source of Uncertainty clone) is modulating the frequency center. This is then run to an STG Post Lawsuit Low Pass Filter and on to an Oakley Audio state variable filter in band pass resonant mode. I am playing the center frequency of this filter and sending the signal on to the Echo Fix tape delay. The delay is voltage controlled from a Mega Ohm Audio LFO2 module from the 5U modular with a very slow rising ramp wave. As the voltage drops off the tape delay motor sweeps back down with a wonderful gliding effect.
The Subharmonicon is clocked from another Mega Ohm Audio LFO2. The output of Sequencer 2 is sent to a Dove Audio Window Transform Function VCO and gated to a Q109 Envelope Generator as well as run through the Q150 Transistor Ladder filter by synthesizers.com.
A separate instance of the Subharmonicon was previously recorded to the Electro Harmonix Canyon pedal looper. It is faded up at the last portion to add momentum to the piece. The Empress Reverb pedal is adding some nice modulated reverb to the SubH and Canyon.
What I really enjoyed was the glorious runaway feedback of the tape echo. It was fun to balance out the moving swells at the same time as playing the sub oscillators on the SubH and Oakley filter. As I moved about the antenna of the radio varied in how strong the signal picked up the AM radio stations. This lended another modulation and random aspect to the waveforms injected into the piece. A fun exercise."

https://www.switchedonaustin.com

A synth studio and store tour of Switched-On in Austin, Texas -- including the Switched On synthesizer showroom, walk-through of the Switched On synth store and brief highlight of the synthesizer repair area.

During a trip to Austin in early 2020 I had a chance to revisit the Switched On synth shop I first toured in 2018 [video bellow]. Switched On have since moved from their original location to a new spot and are under new ownership, so it was a great opportunity to see the new synth store.

This synth studio and store walkthrough showcases Switched On's extensive record collection, tape machines, various synthesizers, modular gear, classic vintage synths, rack units and more. To learn more about Switched On, visit https://www.switchedonaustin.com

Introducing Modbap Modular Per4mer

And the Press Release:


Modbap Modular enters Eurorack market with powerful Per4mer quad performance effects module inauguration

LOS ANGELES, CA, USA: Eurorack modular synthesizers and instruments developer Modbap Modular by BeatPPL is proud to introduce Per4mer — perfectly portraying its inaugural offering as a 14HP quad performance effects Eurorack module inspired by beat-maker/DJ performance styles, and available to preorder — as of October 10…

The basic principle behind Per4mer is immediately apparent in its easy-to-follow front panel, packing a creative knockout punch in a compact (14HP) stereo effects-enabling Eurorack module form factor — feed in an audio input to then trigger on-the-fly effects, bringing DJ- style live improvisation to a modular environment. Effects can be triggered simultaneously or individually, where an inspiring effect palette combines to generate uniquely unconventional beats and melodies.

Per4mer puts a Doppler-style DELAY, lush REVERB, GLITCH (beat repeat), and TAPE STOP effects easily at anyone’s fingertips for triggering via four dedicated translucent mini-arcade buttons — buttons that can be manually operated or triggered from the four external gate inputs. Each effect has a set of four effects parameters that can be controlled using the four (FX 1, FX 2, FX 3, and FX 4) rotary knobs or by the four CV (control voltage) inputs. COMP (compression) with SIDE CHAIN input and COLOR processing effects are also available, along with CLOCK input and TAP tempo options. Obviously, external side chain and clock can be connected to interface with other modular and electronic music gear.

“Per4mer acts like a bridge between hip-hop and Eurorack.” So says Modbap Modular Designer and Founder Corry Banks. As a writer, emcee, producer, hip-hop artist (Phashara), and IT pro, he should surely know! “It packs in concepts familiar to lo-fi and beat-making circles, but it brings something fresh to Eurorack,” continues Corry Banks, before adding: “I think Per4mer will be a great entry point to modular synthesis for the modular-curious beat-maker — throw it into a small pod and use it like a standalone performance effects unit or rack it up with other modules to liven things up a bit.”

But best of all, Per4mer’s four performance effects — influencing its notable nomenclature, clearly — can be momentarily engaged or latched individually or simultaneously. Each effect has four tweak-able parameters associated with the four rotary knobs, duly designed for facilitating live improvisation with endless one-off, on-the-fly sounds and rhythmic dynamics. All audio inputs (INPUT L and INPUT R) are provided as mono connections, paired for stereo. Subsequently, Per4mer not only delivers a series of excellent effects and sound design possibilities, but it also allows the creative, classic, tried-and-tested techniques used by beat-makers and DJs to be applied to the wonderful world of Eurorack modular, especially enhanced by manual performance.

Digging deeper, the compressor allows for control over four compression (Threshold, Ratio, Attack, and Release) parameters via the four rotary knobs. Catering perfectly to those users craving the classic ducking sound of side chaining, the compressor also features selectable side chain detection that allows side chain activation via ‘sidechain input’, ‘audio input’, ‘clock input’, or ‘tap tempo’.

The COLOR processor features four color presets bringing texture and character to the signal path, pre effects — namely, Classic (12-bit), LoFi (8-bit), Saturation, and Wax (vinyl simulation). Such presets can be used in combination with the performance effects and compressor for a more characterful result. Reasons Corry Banks, eventually ending on a high note: “The COLOR processor is the special sauce built into Per4mer. It adds so much mojo and attitude. I lose time just enjoying processing audio through it and creating soundscapes to sample. Per4mer is a dope sound design tool as much as it is a dope performance effects module!”

Per4mer is now available to preorder at a retail price of $399.00 USD directly from Modbap Modular’s online Shop (https://modbap.com/shop/) and expected to start shipping in November 2020.

ES101 - Rack Extension for ReasonStudio: a virtual SH-101 with a 2 OP FM oscillator and more


Boing Poum Tchak!

"The ES101 is available at Reason Studios: https://frama.link/es101" And the intro video from Ekssperimental Sounds Studio: Introducing ES101 Analog Synthesizer - Rack Extension

ES101 is the big brother and successor of ES01. Clearly inspired by the architecture of some all time favourite synthesizers it also has new functionality with the 2 OP FM oscillator and the Ring Modulation / Sine oscillator.

Unlike ES01 this beast has self resonating filters that can be finely tuned and modulated from either envelope generators, LFOs or CV signals. Its flexible routing system with mod source selectors for many parameters makes it great for experimental sound design and very fun to use.

Another big difference from ES01 is that ES101 has more CV jacks and mod switches instead of a digital modulation matrix. ES101 also comes with an built in effect bank featuring simple but great sounding drive, chorus, echo and reverb.

ES101 is great for classic synth sounds, gnarly metallic ring modulation sounds, raw and simple FM or a mix of it all. Perfect for EBM, industrial, synthwave and other synth heavy genres!

Experience the sound of the future with ES101.

Livecoding the Elektron Analog 4MKII with ORCΛ


EZBOT

I love the Analog 4MKII. It sounds amazing and has awesome performance features. It works works wonderfully with ORCA despite it only having 4 tracks to work with. Fortunately multi-mapping is relatively easy to do and allows you to play drums and in this example chords as well.

If you like what I do and want to support my work, consider joining me on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/omricohen

I created a document full of patching techniques and ideas that I will continue updating - https://www.patreon.com/posts/documen...
Here's a sneak peek of it - https://bit.ly/patchdocexample

Here are some patch notes:
------------------------------------------------
- One sequence of the Keystep Pro is sequencing the Basimilus, and another sequence that has a different length is sequencing its Morph function, and one more sequence, again, with a different length, is sequencing its register.
- I'm using one channel of Lubadh in delay mode, and it's patched together with the Aux in and out to add some feedback. This channel is going through the Desmodus Versio.
- The second channel of Lubadh is recording this, and it's receiving a trigger for record and erase from another sequence of the Keystep Pro, and again, this sequence has a different length.
- I'm sending this channel to Microcell for some reverb before it goes into Freak for distortion. From there, it goes to the Mimeophon for extra space.
