Noise Engineering Joins Music for Peace Campaign to Help Ukraine



You might remember Erica Synths Music for Peace campaign to help Ukraine. Noise Engineering has joined in.

via Erica Synths:

"Erica Synths sincerely thanks all who are participating in MUSIC FOR PEACE and have shown their support - as of March 24th 2022 altogether 45 553,25 EUR have been raised & donated to humanitarian aid organisations in Ukraine.

Today marks a month since the beginning of the war in Ukraine and as the attention to what's happening slowly seeks out it is as important as ever to continue the work to support the cause in any way possible for each of us.

Our friends and colleagues at Noise Engineering joins Music For Peace fundraiser by donating the profit from all purchases of Loquelic Iteritas and Clep Diaz modules and in addition they will match any profit made - up to 10 000 USD."

And via Noise Engineering:

"When terrible things happen in the world, it can be hard to know how to help.

The Eurorack community has members around the world, and some have been directly affected by the horrible attacks in Ukraine. We’ve always felt fortunate to be a part of such a wonderful community, and we want to help in any way we can.

Our friends at Erica Synths, based in Latvia, have been working hard: as well as directly working to help Ukrainian synth manufacturers, they recently announced their Music for Peace initiative, donating profits from a selection of their modules to humanitarian aid. At the time of this writing, they have already contributed 43,904.00 EUR. We considered a few ways that we could help out, but realized we’d have the most impact if we involved you, our wonderful customers – this is about supporting our community and people in need, and the best way to do that is by working together.

In collaboration with our friends at Erica Synths, we are happy to contribute to the Music for Peace Initiative. Through the end of the month, we will donate the profit from all purchases of Loquelic Iteritas and Clep Diaz modules from our webshop. We will also add a company match of these profits, up to US$10,000.

The money will be added to the Music for Peace fund, to be donated to humanitarian aid via ziedot.lv."

Syncing Volca and TD3 Tabletop Synths with Syinsi 1U Tile Modules


video upload by SYINSI

"A tabletop jam syncing a Korg Volca Sample II with a Korg Volca Beats and a Behringer TD-3 with three separate CLOCK DIVIDERS feed by a CLOCK GENERATOR.

A 'mult' (Syinsi Signal Clone) is used to share the clock signal from the CLOCK GENERATOR, and another "mult" to resynchronize the clocks at the start of every bar to keep everything in sync even if the clocks are using different divisors.

A button is used to start/stop the clocks all at once so they always start in sync.

By having three separate clocks it's possible to have all the instruments on different time scales, yet all are kept in sync so eventually they all land at the start of the bar at the same time.

via this auction

"Bad things: Known failure of aftertouch and loose joystick (works proper but can easily drop so I advice replacing).There is a slight buzz coming from transformer but it's not very loud. All tasters work but some needs harder push. Visible scratches.

Good things: Sounds amazing, sounds huge. All voices, filters, envelopes are equal. Chorus is nice. All keys are responding well to velocity and play well. Very good working condition.

So, you will get amazing synth in ok condition that needs little service to be perfect."

Terry Riley Inspired Microfreak + Dysphonia Improvisation


video upload by Tum Tum

"This one is pretty out there, y'all. Definitely channeling Terry Riley. The chord oscillator on the Microfreak is a really interesting mod destination, you can get really unexpected results. Paired with the slightly more controlled Dysphonia, it becomes an ever-evolving combo, sort of East meets West Coast.

A Masterpiece Returns in the Modern Era

Introduced in 1974, the Roland RE-201 Space Echo stands among the most legendary and sought-after effect units ever produced. This tape-based classic remained in production for over 14 straight years, and its distinctive rhythmic echo sounds, warm character, and highly playable sonic quirks still inspire musicians, producers, and audio mixers over four decades on.

Tape Echo Magic

Tape echo was the first delay effect and one of the first effect processors available for electronic musicians. In contrast with today’s CPU-based digital units, a tape echo is a simple machine that uses a motor to pull magnetic tape across one or more record/playback heads. Warm, full, and dynamic, the tape echo sound is influenced by many factors. The ever-changing input level colors the sound with varying amounts of tape saturation and compression. In addition, motor speed fluctuations, friction, wow and flutter, and other elements introduce an appealing modulated character that’s subtle and continually evolving.

Sputnik Variable Waveform Generator



pic via @Noisebug

"The Sputnik Variable Waveform Generator is a Buchla inspired discrete triangle core oscillator. One major change is the inclusion of a hard sync vs. the typical triangle core soft sync. The module features 5 dedicated audio outputs (sub, pulse, sine, saw and triangle) and various animation controls such as built-in waveshaper, saw animator and drive circuits with attenuation amount inputs. It also has a vco/lfo switch, both linear and exponential FM inputs with attenuators and very good tracking."

For those that may not know, Sputnik is Roman Filippov's (of Black Corporation) other brand.

https://www.noisebug.net/
And a video overview by DivKid:


video upload by DivKidVideo

"Here's the new Variable Waveform Generator from Sputnik Modular. It's a discrete Buchla style triangle core oscillator with individual waveshaping animations, sub oscillator, linear and exponential FM, hard sync and LFO mode.

In this video we take a look at 19 patches to break out of the basics with your oscillators, looking at more advanced patches that demonstrate a variety of synthesis/oscillator functions and look at adding dynamic animations to your sounds right at the core of the patch. While this video focuses on the Variable Waveform Generator specifically you can apply these patches to other oscillators and wave shapers, so give them a go and feel free to let us know in the comments what's working for you.

Ziqal Dimension wavetable VCO interface overview


video upload by John Schussler

"My Dimension wavetable VCO just arrived today from Ziqal and I'm trying to figure out its interface. (There's no manual yet, they say it's in the works.) It's almost completely intuitive, except for a couple issues, so I don't feel like I'm lost without a manual, which is good.

I'm not spending a bunch of time going through all the wavetables. It has an SD card with lots of tables on it, and there are 6400 you can scan through if you're so inclined.

I'm not inclined right at the moment. Just some samples for now.

"The Dimension wavetable engine uses 2048 samples * 256 waveforms wavetables to bring high definition tables to your system. Its wavetables reproduction precision will fit any of your audio textures needs.

Dimension is compatible with the Serum wavetables format and feature an intuitive and fast file browser, allowing you to explore thousand of already available wavetables. Just drop your favorites wavetables on its SD card and instantaneously start exploring new sonic territory.

24 voices
Dimension is capable of playing not less than 24 voices simultaneously within 10HP tanks to its embeed modern high end audio processor. Depending on the active patch mode voices can be assigned to chords polyphony or unison engine

Polyphonic stereo, Dimension, Dual or LFO modes
The Classic mode provides 4 oscillator voices panned over stereo outputs. You can control theses voices in CV programing chords or with the internal notes scaler and or feeding midi into the module.


The Dimension mode allows the waveform to be morphed across the entire module memory in an X Y fashion. As the module allows to store internally 25 wavetables of each maximum 256 waveforms. This mode allows wavetable morphing over (25*256) 6400 different waveforms.

Dual / LFO mode

Dual mode output two different wavetables on each output. LFO mode operates as the dual mode, except that the frequency range of output two is set in the subsonic range.


In any mode, voices can also be multiplied 6 times and detuned to play massive 6 voice unison. When using 4 voices it brings not less than a total of 24 voices out of your oscillator."

Behringer ARP 2500


video upload by Robin Rimbaud-Scanner

"The ARP 2500 was an analogue modular synthesiser created by ARP Instruments, manufactured from 1970 through 1981. I have come to accept that I will never own an original, so have built my own modest micro ARP 2500 using the recent Behringer remodels. This has probably saved me about £30k. Today was my first chance to really play with the system and see what emerged. It feels like a very capable and inspiring system so far, so let's see where it takes me in the future then.

Everything you hear is the ARP 2500, with a little added NI REPLIKA XT on the final mix."

"📘 In this video I'm playing New Orders legendary song 'Blue Monday' with the Nord Drum 3P. All sounds are created with the internal sound engine of the Nord Drum 3P EXCEPT:

- the bass sound was created with the Arturia Mini V
- the choir sound is the actual 'Blue Monday' sound from Arturia's V-Collection/Analog Lab

For looping I was using Ableton Live and the KMI Softstep 2, and after recording I added little tweaks and colors to the sound during mixing."

Oberheim OB-X Demo


video upload by SonicProjects

"Dry demo of the Oberheim OB-X. The OB-X was Oberheim's answer to the Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 and Oberheim's first fully programmable polyphonic synthesizer.

The stereo output of the OB-X was recorded unprocessed directly to disk using the line inputs of an RME Fireface UC.

Infos about the OB-X:

At the NAMM show of January 1978 Sequential Circuits shocked the synthesizer world with the introduction of the Prophet-5 as the world's first fully programmable polyphonic analog synthesizer.

As a consequence the sales of Oberheim went downhill and they had to react - and introduced the OB-X in 1979.

The OB-X could be ordered with 4, 6 or 8 voices. The voices sat on separate boards, and the synth could be manually expanded with further voice boards if the synth was shipped with less than 8 voices, which was the number of slots it offered.

The voices of the OB-X still used the fully discrete circuit of the SEM with the exception of the envelopes which were realized with CEM3310 chips to save space. Also they didn't offer the SEM's multimode feature but only the lowpass part.

The OB-X was only built for about a year until it was replaced by the OB-Xa which now also used CEM chips for the oscillators and filters.

The fact that the OB-X still uses the old discrete SEM circuit and that only about 800 units were produced makes the OB-X extremely rare and sought-after and prices go through the roof."
