Miniverse Module Set Quick Look

video upload by boxoftextures

"Well they did this one backwards, it seems. Usually Cherry Audio tweets out new product teases a week in advance, then they have a 30-second video reveal here on YouTube while at the same time putting the new thing up for sale on their web site. Which is all fine! But this time there wasn't a pre-announcement (although it's possible I just happened to miss it), and there wasn't a short video reveal, or a tweet or anything. I just happened to see there was a new Cherry Audio video on here and there it was. So I bought the Miniverse Module set for Voltage Modular and made a quick Mini. And here it is.

So far I've only built a 'Mini' with just a few effects, but again, because these are modules you can do all sorts of gnarly things with them. Which I shall proceed to do over the next few days. I mean, just being able to add three more envelope generators and half a dozen more LFOs make this worth the price of admission. And that's not even counting the polyphonic Mini module versions, which I haven't even had time to try out yet. Like I said, more to come.

3am - Damp Grid

"Another piece centered around shift registers. This time used as sound sources and as part of the visuals. All of the noisy percussion sounds come from the Dual Digital Shift Register (kinda Rungler-like patch) and Cascading Shift Register (used as and LFSR)."

First 20 minutes with Oberheim OB-X8 (no talking)

video upload by manmade madman

"Day 1: I wanted to make a video of my first impressions of a synthesizer... what happens when I walk up to something I'm not familiar with? No reading the manual, no outside help or distractions, just raw wandering around with it, trying every knob and listening to what each does. I realize my distorted and dirty sound design preferences aren't everyone else's, but I haven't heard the demo that I wanted to hear out of this synth, so I made it myself.
The OB-X8 is a synth I've waited a LONG time for, and so I have some pre-formed bias towards it, but what happens when I get it out of the box, set it up, and just hit record?
This is that video.

I hope you find this useful to see and hear if it might fit into your sound.
I'm sure it will inspire me to make a bunch of patches, like the Moog One and Prophet-10, and countless others before it. I'll make more musical content, if you like this and people ask for it.

This was recorded in stereo, but it is mostly mono because of the default voice panning which is set to mono. I didn't discover the 'page 2' Spread feature until after filming. There are some subtleties with the Vintage knob that might play into its stereo field.

No audio processing whatsoever, as demos should be™"

"Today's video is a short improvised ambient set using the @NovationTV Summit keyboard. Everything was recorded into Ableton Live with no click. Additionally we added Luftrum field recordings into the mix afterwards for some extra ambience. The vocals and field recordings had some extra spatial effects added from Glitchmachines Fracture and Hysteresis plugins.

Also the vocal reverb is Valhalla Room with a bit of Valhalla Delay."

"Welcome to a new acid jam!
While I was checking out different gear with the E-RM Multiclock for a new test video, Stefan Braatz came along with his Roland TB-303 to check out the DIN-Sync. As I also prepared some demos with the MODOR DR-2 we spontaneously started this jam!
And we even managed to sync the Casio RZ-1 to the Multiclock with stable timing! Hooray!

1984 Roland Juno 106 w/ Analogue Renaissance AR80017A Voice Chips (Serviced) SN 487078

via this auction

"A high water mark for glassine pads, premier brass stabs, and surprisingly present basses, the Roland Juno 106 is well deserving of it's status as a classic synthesizer. All voices have been refurbished, this is a fully working specimen, with all sliders and pots cleaned and working wonderfully. Physically, this is a synth which shows it's age and use, but operationally this Juno is a superior sonic experience.

This Juno was serviced by our in-house technician, all voice chips have been replaced with new Analogue Renaissance AR80017A voice chips. This is a Japanese model (100v) unit, we switched the transformer to operate at 120V along with adding a 3 prong IEC receptable. Fantastic condition over all. Serial number: 487076"

Deckard's Voice + Rachael - by Black Corporation

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Deckard's Voice is what you get when you take one voice from Black Corporation's 'Deckard's Dream', a well known 8-voice tribute to the legendary Yamaha CS80, made famous by Vangelis. Its name refers to Deckard, played by Harrison Ford in 'Blade Runner'. The lack of polyphony is compensated by the Eurorack ecosystem and lots of CV i/o. So I added Arbhar to my setup to layer up some 'fat pads'. However, an important part of the CS80 sound is the ring modulator. This is where Rachael comes in - and where the fun begins. I like Deckard's Voice a lot, but I absolutely love the combo."

LOOPZ - Batchas Pointz & Sudden Infant

video upload by batchas

"I developed this web app in 2001 and published different versions until 2009 with loops from various friend artists. Playing audio in good quality on internet and controlling volume in realtime was still quite rare and not yet self-evident. I also made a few standalone versions for PC/MAC. On the last online version I did around 2005 you could load your loops, record your mix and play a mix saved on the server. But it never passed the BETA stage, because a web agency engaged me for a larger project and I was too busy the following years."

Miniverse Module Collection | Cherry Audio

video upload by Cherry Audio

"Miniverse Module Collection, new for #VoltageModular and available exclusively at https://store.cherryaudio.com/

The Miniverse Module Collection is an expansion of the Miniverse virtual instrument into 14 flexible modules for use with the Voltage Modular platform. It retains all the classic tone and mojo that made the original Mini great while freeing users of the fixed “hard-wired” limitations of the original.

Like the Miniverse synthesizer and other Cherry Audio/MRB releases, the Miniverse Module Collection components have been expertly adapted to the modular workflow. Award-winning synth designer Mark Barton's (MRB) proprietary DSP coding reproduces every sonic nuance, every curve, and every response of the audio based on the original hardware. In addition, polyphonic module versions of the oscillator, mixer, filter, glide, contour, and VCA sections are included for up to 16-voice polyphony via poly jacks.

The 14 module Miniverse Module Collection includes:

• Miniverse Oscillator super accurately replicates the famously brawny sounds of the original Mini. Mono and poly versions included.
• Miniverse Filter is a 24dB/oct, lowpass filter based on the famous transistor ladder filter. Mono and poly versions included.
• Miniverse Glide module allows notes to slide smoothly from one pitch to the next and Mini's unique glide unique asymmetrical glide characteristics are accurately emulated. Mono and poly versions included.
• Miniverse Mixer is a four-channel mixer, usable with audio or CV signals. Mono and poly versions included.
• Miniverse Contour is an ADS envelope generator used to dynamically shape note volume, filter cutoff, or any other voltage-controlled mod destination. Mono and poly versions included.
• Miniverse VCA replicates the unique mojo of the original Mini circuit. It's usable with audio or CV signals. Mono and poly versions included.
• Miniverse Noise faithfully replicates the noise section of the original hardware with white, pink, and red noise generators. • Miniverse A-440 module replicates the Mini's unique tuning reference oscillator circuit.

The Miniverse Module Collection is available exclusively from the Cherry Audio store at an introductory price of $39. A 50% discount is available for customers who previously purchased the Miniverse instrument. For those new to the Voltage Modular platform, it's fully compatible with our FREE Voltage Modular Nucleus Edition, with no operational limitations. A free seven-day demo of Miniverse Module Collection is available."

(Planet Earth)
Houston what you’re seeing is the Western Hemisphere
Looking at the top is the North Pole
In the center, just lower to the center is South America
All the way down to Cape Horn
I can see Baja California and it appears now that the east coast is cloudy

Okay for colors
The waters are all a sort of a royal blue
The clouds of course are bright white
(Bright white, bright white)

The Southern Hemisphere is almost completely clouded over
And up near the North Pole there’s quite a few clouds
And a long band of various cirrus clouds that extend straight out across the Atlantic

Knobula Kickain : The Last Kick Drum Eurorack Module You'll Ever Need

video upload by Perfect Circuit

"Check out even more details about the Kickain here : https://bit.ly/3S9BzQ2
Pick one up for your own rack today : https://bit.ly/3oDmE2T

Offering a dance floor staple with spectral mixing capabilities, Knobula's Kickain is a combination of a highly sculptable 909-inspired kick drum and stereo processing for internal and external mixdown.
This powerful module can wrangle your whole mix into a pulsing dancefloor HEATER, and isn't just limited to kick sounds. Percussive thuds, clicks, hats, and snare sounds are also achievable, and when paired with the on board reverb, the Kickain is a percussion sculpting POWERHOUSE."

99bpm Dubby Chill [with a Sweet Hybrid Setup!]

video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"Track Recording Date: 07/26/2022
Tempo: 99bpm
Key: Fminor Pentatonic (Yes, AGAIN! lol)

DETAILS:
Fully hybrid setup with Polyend Play as the main sequencer as well as playing back drum samples and lots of chord samples.

The iPad is connected to an audio interface that has midi in, and i'm sending midi to miRack for the main kick and main snare sounds, as well as loads of percussion, fx and the 2 main evolving pads/texture sounds - all coming from miRack.

*ALL SIX* Individual Outputs from the iPad's audio interface go to six individual inputs on the Eurorack FX System!! I am processing ALL of the miRack sounds through real-world Eurorack !!

The Syntakt provides a LOAD of sounds, from the main bass to chord stabs to percussion, all being sequenced from the Play via midi!

ALL AUDIO is being fed into a 1010 Bluebox mixer/recorder where i'm mixing, doing some gentle EQ and compression, and recording the track. The track was then loaded into Soundforge audio editor and I ran it through my Favorite: Waves L3 Ultramaximizer plugin - to get the track levels a bit more glued, consistent, even and to make the track louder!

I then sync up the audio/video manually in my video editor: Luma Fusion on iPad.

Don't stop making *YOUR MUSIC*!!"

"This is a patch with the Serge Paperface ’78. The Sequential Switch (CGS boards) in the Scrotum Lab panel is also in use. As well as a Penrose Quantizer.
1 main sequence from TKB + 1 sequence from Sequential Switch for transposition mixed together and sent to a Quantizer. The ouput of the Quantizer is sent to the Dual Analog Shift Register.
Dual Analog Shift Register outputs go to 4 oscillators. 4 x NTO and 2 x PCO.
The oscillators are sent to filters. Filters are modulated.
The outputs of the 2 Serge mixers are mixed and recorded on one stereo track.
External reverb and delay are added to the stereo track."

Generative music algorithm plays Roland MC-707

video upload by Richard Horsman

"This new algorithm generates midi note, volume and controller data on 8 channels, one for each Roland MC-707 track. Note events occur when circles traverse the 3 horizontal lines. Volume changes occur when circles are destroyed in the black hole. Controller data and additional note events are generated by tracking the last notes played on some of the channels. Every aspect of the algorithm is probabilistic.

Designed and coded by Tony Horsman (my Dad)"

And one from Sep 12, 2021:

MidiPathFollower - An experiment in generative music creation (MC-101 and Eurorack)


"The artwork that I'm currently working on takes your eyes on a journey. My Dad suggested that the journey be travelled by a 'playhead' that makes sound/music when it hits 'notes'. This is the outcome. As always, it's a work in progress. Playheads work their way around a path/map, making decisions in real time as to which way to turn. When all notes have been reached a new map is drawn. The code that I wrote in Processing is running on a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 720x720 Hyperpixel Square LCD attached. It's generating the visuals and the MIDI data that's being sent to my Roland MC-101 for the guitar sounds then on to some effects in my modular rack."
