"REON Muton Denmo-8 FAM機能を使ってシンセソロ！？をやってみました。鍵盤が演奏できなくても感性のままにシンセソロを奏でることができます。空いた手で他のモジュラーの制御も可能になるでしょう。今後追加されていくスケーリング機能で、自分にあった音楽にこれぞ！というフレーズが生成できるようになっていきます。

REON Muton Denmo-8 Synth Solo using FAM function!? I tried. Even if you can't play the keyboard, you can play synth solos according to your sensibilities. With your free hands, you will be able to control other modular vehicles. If you apply the scaling function that will be added in the future, you will be able to generate phrases in music that suits you."

The Littoral Myth: Is there any validity to the East Coast / West Coast Synthesis paradigm?

video uploads by AutomaticGainsay

"In the past ten years, the notion that there is a coastal divide in synthesis style, usage, and music has become common.
But are the typical supportive assertions accurate?

The Littoral Myth is a series that explores the fallacies that lie at the foundation of the "East Coast" / "West Coast" synthesis paradigm.

The music was composed entirely on Buchla instruments.

Modbap Introduces HUE "AUDIO COLOR PROCESSOR" Eurorack Module

video upload by Modbap Modular

Modbap Modular makes colorful Eurorack entrance at Brooklyn SYNTH+PEDAL EXPO with HUE debuting as AUDIO COLOR PROCESSOR


LOS ANGELES, CA, USA: following hot in the footsteps of Trinity, the fourth entry in its expanding Eurorack product lineup as a three-channel DIGITAL DRUM SYNTH ARRAY (as introduced at Knobcon Number Ten, a one-of-a-kind synthesizer convention held just outside of Chicago, IL, USA at the Hyatt Regency Schaumburg, September 9-11), black-owned Eurorack modular synthesis and electronic musical instrument manufacturer Modbap Modular is proud to debut HUE as its latest Eurorack entry — this time being billed as an AUDIO COLOR PROCESSOR, packing a chain of five effects (each imparting a particular coloration, tone, distortion, and/or texture to the source audio) into a 6HP- width module, making drums bang with more magnitude and melodies morph into lush lo-fi tones — at Brooklyn SYNTH+PEDAL EXPO, a free-to-the-public pop-up event of synths and guitar effect pedals, at 718 Studios, Brooklyn, NYC, USA, October 8-9…

“HUE was originally designed as the effects section for Trinity; the thought was to create an effects section that would simulate the classic, lush boom- bap and lo-fi vibes that we’ve come to love.” So says Modbap Modular founder/owner/designer Corry Banks, before continuing: “I want to bring those nostalgic textures that make things bang a bit harder and feel a bit grittier and more soulful into a single Eurorack module. HUE pairs very well with drum sources, such as Trinity, or melodic sources, such as Osiris, to further cultivate ‘that sound’. Saying that, HUE, in moderation, makes things sound more beautiful, but it can become brolic when pushed to its limits.”

Maximum (musical) muscle notwithstanding, HUE’s goal is to simply color its user’s sound — hence highlighting that the aim of its name is true, thanks to the COLOR PROCESSOR wording written across the top of its slimline front panel. Its initial concept was born out of a debate about the techniques and processes used to make drum machines sound so big, bold, and delicious. It is worth bearing in mind here, then, that the sounds that tug at the heartstrings of boom-bap, lo-fi, and, subsequently, Modbap — meaning the fusion of modular synthesis and boom-bap (or, indeed, any form of hip-hop) — are those demonstrating great texture, lush degradation, soft distortion, and big bold strokes of color.

Classic beloved drum machines were often processed with outboard gear; recorded to tape; pressed to vinyl; played over big, booming sound systems; sampled; resampled, and so on. It is no surprise, therefore, that those are the sounds that become nostalgic and reminiscent of all that the black-owned Eurorack modular synthesis and electronic musical instrument manufacturer adores about classic lo-fi boom-bap production, with HUE representing its attempt at bringing that vibe into Eurorack as a 6HP-width module.

Acting as a COLOR PROCESSOR, HUE’s effects chain signal path is as follows: DRIVE, FILTER, TAPE (saturation), LO-FI, and COMP (compressor), with the panel layout allowing for the DJ-style FILTER knob to sit in first position for ease of tweaking — LP (low-pass) when turned to the left through to HP (high- pass) when turned to the right. Digging deeper, DRIVE boosts and lightly distorts the signal, while SHIFT+DRIVE adjusts the DRIVE tone; the TAPE effect is intended to impart cassette tape saturation, while SHIFT+TAPE adjusts the intensity; LO-FI adjusts bit depth, while SHIFT+LO-FI adjusts sample rate; and, lastly, the one-knob COMP mini-pot serves as the final glue in the signal path that brings everything together. There are also DRIVE CV, FILTER CV, TAPE CV, and LO-FI CV inputs, as well as mono INPUT and OUT connections, collectively opening up a wealth of creative possibilities. Put it this way: when throwing creative modulation at it, HUE is truly a textural beast.

But best of all, HUE puts the power to shape and transform its user’s sound at their fingertips — perfect for beefing up drums while equally as magical when working on melodic content, which is exactly why it pairs so well with Trinity (https://www.modbap.com/products/trinity), the fourth entry in Modbap Modular’s expanding Eurorack product lineup as a three-channel DIGITAL DRUM SYNTH ARRAY, and Osiris (https://www.modbap.com/products/osiris), a sensational-sounding BI-FIDELITYTM WAVETABLE OSC (oscillator) module for Eurorack (introduced to widespread critical acclaim at last year’s Knobcon Number Nine). Needless to say, HUE — like its Eurorack siblings — exemplifies Modbap Modular’s musical mantra: Made for Eurorack, dope enough for boom-bap!


Expected to ship in late-October 2022, HUE is available to preorder at an MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) of $299.00 USD via San Clemente, CA, USA-based distributor Electro Distro’s growing global network of dealers (https://www.electro-distro.com/dealers) — including Sweetwater (https://www.sweetwater.com), the USA’s number one eCommerce provider of music instruments and pro audio gear — or directly via its dedicated webpage (which includes more in-depth information) here: https://www.modbap.com/products/hue

Music Thing Modular - CONTROL

video upload by Thonk Synth DIY

"BUY CONTROL HERE - https://www.thonk.co.uk/shop/mtm-cont...

Control is four big finger-friendly knobs for precise & playable tweaking from Music Thing Modular designed by Tom Whitwell, he writes:

After spending a lot of time working on smaller and smaller projects, I realised that many Eurorack synths were missing something critical: controls that are big enough to be fun.

Control is an absurdly simple module: Four big knobs that output voltages. Connect those voltages to modules, and you have high-precision, intuitive control. Connect those voltages to several modules, and you have interesting, repeatable confusion.

The first two channels (top two knobs) are also attenuators if something is plugged into the leftmost sockets.

The voltage on each channel can be 0–5v (middle), 0–10v (up), or -5v to +5v (down). When using a channel as an attenuator, keep it in 0–5v or you’ll get weird gain or offset (which you may want).

There are two extra outputs. Change outputs just the changes as they happen. If a knob is turned quickly to the right, it will output a little burst of positive voltage. If a four-handed performer turns all four knobs quickly anti-clockwise, it will output a chunky pulse of negative voltage. Patching Change into an input creates a primitive clock.

Diff is a difference rectifier, inspired by NonlinearCircuits, but with a slightly different circuit. It compares the difference between 1&2, and between 3&4, and finally outputs the difference between those two differences. The aim was to create a bumpy, unpredictable voltage between 0 and 10v. It’s not random, but it’s not easily predictable, either.

Each knob has its own bi-colour LED to provide visual feedback on how much voltage is being output. There are also LED indicators for the Change and Diff outputs.

And that's just about it. The circuit isn't designed to be super precise. It works best when you patch into a bunch of points in a complex patch, then just sit back, listen, and make small (or big) movements with the knobs.

The pots themselves are a bit special: high quality TT Electronics P260T – as used in SynthTech modules.

Moog ONE vs Arturia PolyBrute // The Definitive Comparison

video upload by Starsky Carr

"https://patreon.com/starskycarr
I say definitive.. there's another on the way!!

A look at the Moog One and the Arturia PolyBrute together. They're both superbly flexible VCO polysynths with dual analog filters per voice - a ladder filter and a state variable.

The Moog ONE here has 16 voices and the PolyBrute has 6, so there are differences in what you can do when stacking voices plus lots of other differences. BUT... the Mog One really did remind me of my PolyBrute when I first tried it in @Dan Stirling studio.

And they're both capable of some simply stunning sounds.

Other main differences are:
3 oscillators per voice vs 2
Eventide Effects on the Moog
Effects are Mod destinations on the Arturia
Eventide Has CV connectivity
Arturia can morph between tones.

... so lots of differences but enough similarities I thought to put them together.

Thanks to Dan for lending me this one:

🍃The Approaching Stillness🌳 ~ TE OP-1 Field Ambient

video upload by Postmodern Machine

"Hey! 🌤

Here's another piece I created on the OP-1 Field in the first few weeks of ownership, and before having to charge the battery for the 1st time! 🌿

For this track I used the cassette tape (porta simulation) 📼 I found it a bit tricky to balance distortion and grit with hiss and input level. This track is fairly hissy on full range systems, but it still sounds very nice. I may end up preferring the vintage 4 track as a compromise between lo-fi and fidelity.

I have enjoyed messing with the various sequencers and the modulation section. This track has a healthy dose of the mother reverb, but the master effect is the mono delay, which in this track is set to repeat many times. As it's coming up in the center position it almost adds a 5th sound source to the 4 tracks. 🔉

This piece is coming off the OP-1 as a mix. I stored the 4 tracks in case I need them later, but essentially just mastered the mix after recording it into my DAW through the analogue listed below. The piece is as performed in this case, with no edits. I want to see what the OP-1 field alone is capable of 🧨

Note, first three photos use flash, which bounces off the beeswax and olive oil used to seal the wood. This makes it appear brighter and redder. Under more normal light, the wood looks darker and more muted. Pics w/o flash give a little better idea, but probably sunlight would be best. Anyways, i'll leave that to you."

video upload by BRiES

"This is a quick demonstration of the functionality of BRAIN DAMAGE, a 4 channel touch mixer made by Error Instruments. Use it to mix audio or CV and create mayhem with the touch of a finger.

DISCLAIMER: Error Instruments sent me this module to make a video about it. I'm generally not a fan of touch-based modules but I think by showing you the features you'll manage to get creative with it yourself. I'm not here to tell you that you should or shouldn't buy BRAIN DAMAGE, but I hope by showing you the functionality of the module you can decide whether it is something you want or need for your system."

SOLTON PROJECT 100

video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"Frankly we're not that well versed in 80s Digital or hybrid synths - MIDI sync, sub menus accessible by pressing three buttons simultaneously while peering into unsexy tiny screens trying to figure out what parameter you're actually tweaking...

It can be demoralising.

But we like the Solton Project 100 a lot - maybe because it looks like the Solton Programmer 24 - and they match up very nicely sound wise as well - more of that to come.

It's a 6 voice DCO synthesizer with SSM filters and came out around the same time as the Roland Juno 106. In this video we're only using the Solton Project 100 - and especially its built-in sequencer - basically just recording patterns and then flipping through the presets to create something.

The sequencer doesn't quantize at all from what we can tell - which is a bit odd - but also kind of cool.

It definitely grants you textures and phrases that you might not have settled for were they perfectly in grid.

Jason Basson made a ton of impulsive videos of the Solton Project 100 a while back - does anyone know what happened to him? [He's still around. You can find some of his Solton videos in previous posts here]
