The Bleep Labs Sensory Coupler

video upload by Bleep Labs

"The Sensory Coupler allows you to easily convert touch, proximity, light, magnetic fields, motion, and more into CV and gate."

Preorders open now at the following shops and others:
US: ctrl-mod.com
US: perfectcircuit.com
Scotland: signalsounds.com

The Sensory Coupler allows you to easily convert touch, proximity, light, magnetic fields, motion, and more into CV and gate.

Built-in touch contact and 1/8″ TRS jack sensor interface. Other sensors and devices like expression pedals can be easily added. DIY info coming soon.

Calibration mode. Sensors produce different readings in different environments, the Sensory Coupler calibrates them to utilize the entire 0-10V CV output range.
CV output based on calibrated or raw sensor data. 0-10V.
Two gate outputs. Work based on an adjustable threshold level. When the sensor reading is above or inside the threshold, GATE will output 12V while !GATE will be 0V and vice versa.
Smoothing modes. Sensor readings can be chaotic when you might not want them to be so there are two smoothing modes. One simply averages readings to create slow rises and falls while the other acts like an envelope follower with adjustable decay.
Large LED strip display. Visualizes the sensor reading, threshold, smoothing mode and more.

Rendez Vous with GM.LAB

video upload by Guido Scognamiglio

"Playing an excerpt of JMJ's 'Second Rendez Vous' with new GM.LAB d-i-y synthesizers - 2x Rondò (string machine) + X1000 (mono synth) + PicoSynth (mono synth). Visit www.gmlab.it"

"G.M. LAB is a side project of Crumar and Genuine Soundware.

G.M. LAB is the name we decided to give to our 'Genuine Midi' projects that you can build by yourself or buy pre-assembled.

The Idea
As Crumar and GSi, we design, manufacture and market professional quality digital musical instruments. On top of that, we also wanted to give our customers the ability to add some more electronic "utilities" that can be easily integrated with existing music rigs to help musicians get the best out of their equipment.

Open-Source
Since we're living the era of open-source, why not take advantage of it and give the users the ability to customize these projects or make them with the lowest possible budget? All of our projects are based on Arduino, possibly the most famous and easy to program existing framework for programming micro-controllers."

A non-sequencer sequence? Polyrhythms via Strymon Magneto!

video upload by John L Rice

"I’m using the 4 clock outputs of the Strymon Magneto delay to trigger 4 random voltages from the Doepfer A-149-4 which are then sent to the Instruo Quad Performance Quantizer which sends the pitch CV and Gates to the 4 voices (Synth Tech E330 VCOs, Klavis Quadigy EG, Xaoc Praga VCA/mixer) and the Magneto provides delays and reverb of course."

1 Hour of Ambient Modular Music - Perfect for Relaxation, Meditation, and Sleep

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

"Thanks for watching!
Hope this new series I am starting will help in your everyday life. This can be used for meditation, studying, or even to help you sleep. I got a new computer which is able to handle longer videos, so this is the first one like that.

Now that school has kicked in pretty hard, I will start posting once a week for the foreseeable future. I will keep uploading videos in HD until I save up for a new camera that records in 4K60UHD. so maybe by early next year, the quality will be impeccable. I also switched my video editing software from Adobe Premiere Pro to Black Magic Designs DaVinci Resolve 18, for that great color grading, and overall interface.
Cheers!

Eowave ORAGE | VCO with thru-zero FM

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Eowave sent me an Orage to check it out. It means 'Storm' in French and refers to magnetic storms. I have no idea how they sound, but they're coming from the Sun and they can cause black-outs and lots of electronic trouble. It really triggered my imagination. It's a small analog VCO with loads of outputs and PWM, but the best part is the thru-zero FM. I patched it up with the Fluctuations Magnetiques and I was recording a video before I knew it. I don't think I'd got one based on the specs, but this is a hidden Eurorack gem. Obviously you'll need a second (simple) oscillator to get the most from it."

MOTOR SYNTH MK II Sound Examples 2 | Gamechanger Audio


"MOTOR Synth is based on a unique motor oscillator engine - it is a system of eight electro-motors that are able to instantly and precisely change their rotation speed in order to produce musical notes.

Because of the distinct way the motors create wave shapes, MOTOR Synth's sound is certainly in a category of its own. However, the comprehensive sound-shaping features developed by our engineers let you recreate classic synth sounds and even real instruments."

Solton Project 100 - Part 3

video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

Solton Project 100 posts

"Imagine an underground spa in mid level hotel in an episode of Miami Vice.
This would be the scene when the New Age cult members slipped Tubbs a Roofie and lured him into the spa at night.

We're using the Solton Project 100 along with the EKO Ritmo 20 - a very nice sounding Italian drum machine with individual volume controls for each sound.
For effects we're using two 80s grade B, rack units - the half rack format LEM FX 22 and the Vermona DEG 50 Echo. The LEM FX 22 is a multi-effect with a combo mode that lets you engage two effects at the same time. The Vermona DEG 50 is actually part of our secret weapons arsenal - a pretty crappy and noisy Digital Delay rack unit but the chorus modulation has that magic wonk.

The Solton Project 100 is maybe the coolest name for a synth we've ever heard - prove us wrong in the comment section :)"
