New Club of the Knobs C911A/M DUAL TRIGGER DELAY & C960E CHANNEL EXTENDER

"The module adds an additional channel to the C960 sequencer. This extension runs directly parallel to the C960 controller.

8 dials with a range of 2V or 4V, adjustable via the enlightened SCALE switch.

GATE SELECT: Selection either from the C960 or from the internal quantizer.

2 voltage outputs are available.

Direct analog or via internal quantizer in semitone steps over the 'SCALE' range."

"The C911A/M DUAL TRIGGER DELAY is designed to be used with 2 or more C911 Envelope Generators. It provides one or two time delays on an input voltage trigger signal (bound for the activation of an envelope voltage trigger). Three different modes of operation are available via the coupling mode switch.

OFF: Delays are activated independently through individual voltage trigger inputs.

PARALLEL: Voltage trigger input to top C911A/M activates timing circuit on both simultaneously.

SERIES: Voltage trigger input to top C911A/M activates top timing circuit, then triggers second upon activation of first."

Zlob Modular Diode Chaos modulation source (LMEE)

Learning Modular

"This simple, small, inexpensive module is a source of three smoothly varying semi-random control voltages plus a random trigger. This video gives an overview of its behavior.

The short version is:

• Higher Rate settings produce more Triggers over the same period of time, with a sudden increase to audio rate triggers at the clockwise extreme of the Rate control.
• The X output is the most active, providing a set of peaks like a “pinged” resonant filter at higher “Rate” settings. A train of these peaks starts with each Trigger output.
• The Y output is like a heavily slewed version of the X output, and is somewhat out of phase.
• The Z output acts like a bit like a slow attack/decay function generator, triggered by each Trigger output.
• As a result of the above, “Rate” works more like a “complexity” control, than the normal speed of an LFO.

This video, plus a second one showing how to use it as the main driver in a generative patch, are part of the Learning Modular Eurorack Expansion: Extended Edition course: https://courses.learningmodular.com/c...

Those two videos, plus a third on how to tame the changing voltage ranges of the Diode Chaos and additional text explanations, were shared with the +5v and above Learning Modular subscribers on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LearningModular"

iOS 14.2 Breaks Patch Base

via Coffee Shopped:

"Hi, I have an important update to users of Patch Base on iPad! The latest version of iOS (14.2) appears to have a bug in it that causes crashing when sending MIDI data. This is a bug in iOS itself, not Patch Base, but it means Patch Base crashes when using it at all on 14.2.

I'm currently trying to find a workaround for this bug, but it might not be possible soon. So, I recommend NOT updating to iOS 14.2 if you need Patch Base to work for now. Hopefully Apple will be publishing an update to iOS soon that addresses this bug. I will be monitoring that.

All previous versions of iOS should still work fine though!"

Prophet 10 rev 4 Demo – [No FX + No Talking]

"Here I demo some presets on the new Sequential Prophet 10 rev 4 Synthesizer. This synth is a Prophet 5 rev 4 (which is a reissue of the original Prophet 5) but with another 5 voices! This means lots of polyphony and boy does it sound amazing!

In this video, I have captured audio through Ableton Live, but and no external FX used, and no processing has been done. I did level match in post-production some of the quieter patches but was only a volume bump in Adobe Premier. The Prophet 10 rev 4 is a polyphonic analog synth with a mono output and no onboard FX."

Audiothingies Introduces the MicroMonsta 2

audiothingies

"The Audiothingies MicroMonsta 2 is a dual polyphonic synthesizer"

MicroMonsta 2 is a dual polyphonic synthesizer featuring :

2 x 6 voices of polyphony
3 oscillators, 1 multimode filter, 3 envelopes, 3 LFOs, 10 modulation slots and 2 operators per voice (lag and mult)
12 « analog » oscillator types + 4 FM-able oscillators for OSC1
12 « analog » oscillator types + 8 multisampled wavetables for OSC2 and OSC3 (FM source)
8 filter types with FM
Per voice and per oscillator detuning options for analog character
Deep modulation matrix
Delay + reverb (per program)
MicroMonsta (R)evolution

MicroMonsta 2 is a brand new synth design based on our critically acclaimed MicroMonsta synthesizer.

Despite the fact they share the same name, they are different in every way: brand new hardware with much more powerful dsp, upgraded switches and encoders, new low profile sexy aluminum enclosure, different internal architecture and updated algorithms. Everything has been re-done from scratch. It is also USB powered and the output can drive a pair of headphones.

In the end, we believe it’s better in every way, it looks better, it sounds better, has more sound shaping possibilities and is easier to use.

Rossum Electro-Music Announces Mob of Emus Multifunctional Harmonic Sextet

Rossum Electro-Music

(Santa Cruz CA, November 16, 2020) — Rossum Electro-Music has announced the introduction of their Mob of Emus eurorack synthesizer module.

Mob of Emus is a powerful music and sound design tool that packs an enormous amount of creative power into an amazingly compact 16HP module.

Mob of Emus provides six channels of oscillators, noise sources, cyclical and 1-shot modulators (including LFOs, envelopes, and various other shapes), sample and hold waveshapes, slow random modulators, triggers, rhythm patterns, and quantization (of both internal and external signals) in pretty much any combination.

In addition to being able to independently program the function of each individual channel, Mob of Emus’ Hex Mode provides a macro control layer that allows you to control all of its channels simultaneously (while maintaining the relationships of each channel’s independent programming).

What’s more, Mob of Emus’ “harmonic” control structure makes it extremely easy to combine its oscillators into rich additive timbres, to combine its LFOs into stacked harmonic low frequency modulation waves, and to create modulation sources and triggers with intricate polyrhythmic patterns.

With an external trigger input, six CV inputs that can operate in six different control modes, six independent outputs, and an assignable mix output, Mob of Emus can operate as the heart of an almost unlimited variety of patches. And its 8 real-time controls give immediate hands-on access to a channel’s (or all six channels’) key parameters, inviting (and rewarding) exploration and improvisation.


Mob of Emus features include:

• Six channels that can function independently or can be further controlled by a Hex Mode macro layer that lets you control all six simultaneously.

Channels can be:

- Wide-range digital oscillators
- Noise sources
- Cyclical and 1-shot modulators (including LFOs, envelopes, and various other shapes)
- Sample and hold waveshapes
- Slow random modulators
- Triggers
- Rhythm patterns
- Quantizers (of both internal and external(!) signals)

• Six CV inputs that can function in six different control modes

• Eight real-time controls for immediate access to key channel parameters

• Six individual channel outputs and an assignable mix output

• The ability to store and recall 12 user presets

• And much more…

Mob of Emus is 16HP wide and 25mm deep.

Power requirements (max): 130mA +12V, 25mA -12V. Reverse polarity protected.

Mob of Emus will be available in late November from Rossum Electro-Music dealers worldwide at a suggested retail price in the US of $399.00.

More Mob of Emus information can be found at the Rossum Electro-Music web site: http://www.rossum-electro.com/products/mob-of-emus

Prophet 5 Analogue Renaissance REV -1

synthlegends

"Demonstration of the new Filterchip Downgrade of Analogue Renaissance which uses new created SSI Filter Chips from Dave Rossum to Downgrade the Rev. 3 to the former Rev. 1 and 2 Filter Design.

For this mod you have to replace the CEM Filter Chips with a small board of 5 SSI Filter Chips. Additionally there is also a 12 dB Filter and Q-Compensation to compensate the loss of volume in high resonance sounds.

After modding the Rev. 3 gets much loader using Q-Comp; I had to decrease the volume of the oscillators in the mixer.

I let install the mod through my tech, because the old sockets must be desoldered in my opinion, otherwise you get contact problems.

In this Prophet 5 I didn't do the calibration of the filter chips, because I was not sure if I want to go back to my old CEM Filter chips. But meanwhile I won't go back and I also have to calibrate the unit.

I like the mod very much and the variation of sounds increase. The Q-Comp ist a really great feature which allows making really ultra fat resonance sounds, like Tom Sawyer Filter sweeps and other Oberheimesque Sounds (also thanks to the 12-Pole Filter).

The sound goes directly to the audio interface without any mastering, FX or equalizer.

If you want to hear my original Prophet 5 without this mod and CEM Filter Chips with a lots of the same patches view this video:" [posted here]

1981 Casio DG-1 Digital Guitar Synthesizer Drum Machine

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"1981 Casio DG-1 Digital Guitar in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Produced for a single year, the DG-1 is Casio’s original Digital Guitar that launched a cult classic series of truly unique synthesizers. Looking like what would be RoboCop’s personal guitar, this digital axe features nylon strings and a rubber fingerboard pad that translates the intended notes through selected digital onboard Casio sound banks through a 1/8“ Line Out and built-in speaker.

The Tone bank includes 12 different selectable sounds, all with unique and arguably usable qualities. The Rhythm section features 12 different drum machine patterns with adjustable Tempo controls, and the drum machine can be played simultaneously as an accompaniment to the guitar output with a Start/Stop button and Synchro/Fill pad.

A Main Volume control and separate Rhythm Volume knob are located next to the Power switch, and the guitar runs on 6 AA batteries or a 9v power adapter (not included). The output is 1/8“ and will need a 1/4“ adapter to interface with standard instrument connections, while the built-in speaker works as it should. Cosmetically, there are light surface scuffs and scratches mostly relegated to the back of the plastic body and neck profile."

"A total beast of a synth, top of the range of Yamaha's original line-up of mono's, so many routing options it's almost modular, incredibly versatile with fantastic sounding oscillators and filters. Fully functional and recently repaired.

Runs on 110V Japanese power I can include a transformer for free.

Issues/quirks:
- Missing the portamento slider cap
- The VCA Hold/EG switch is unoriginal and works in reverse (when flicked up EG is selected, vice versa)
- Needs to warm up when powering on

If you can locate a spare portamento cap or 2-pole slider I'll install them for free, but they're unobtainium believe me I've tried.

Imagine that we have a bass preset with a short Decay and a devastating distortion. Now, just by changing the source, we will obtain a new sound that, maybe, we like more or that maybe it adapts better to what we are looking for, so a single bass preset generates more than 130 different basses in a blink of an eye. | more information: www.miclop.com"

Amen Bass -- hardware challenge

juanito moore

"This weekend's hardware jams challenge was to incorporate the world-famous Amen Break, a 7-second snippet of a drum solo that's become the most played drum loop in history. The drummer, a Black man named Gregory Coleman, never got rich or famous from his work. Surprise.

I've been working on creating a usable module that can play the Amen Break (and any other sample) for YEARS, and just a few months ago built one. It's still very lo-fi, and difficult to use, but it... functions... if you try hard enough. It's got an ISD1820 voice recorder chip inside it that I put the Amen Break on.

I tried to get 'foghorn' bass. I designed a VCO with two wavefolders built in, putting that signal through two VCFs and a THIRD wavefolder, and then a reverb effect module. If I had enough hands to twist all the knobs, I could probably get a pretty convincing foghorn bass sound out of that signal path... but time is slipping away."
