Going Wireless with the CME WIDI Thru6 BT and WIDI Master





https://www.cme-pro.com

Pictured here is a mini setup I have sitting to my left pretty much at all times. As you can imagine I spend quite a bit of time running this site. When I'm too tired and/or can't get into the studio, I'll often fiddle with this setup. I swap out synths depending on what I'm in the mood for. Currently you'll see a Sequential OB-6 desktop, Audiothingies Micromonsta, Strymon Big Sky, and Elektron Digitakt all running through a Rolls line mixer which runs out to an iConnectAudio4 MIDI and audio interface which I currently only use for capturing audio on the laptop. Normally I have my laptop sitting where the Keystep, and further below, the MicroKorg are. The Keystep is my main controller, but I brought up the MicroKorg to test it out with the CME Widi Master for complete wireless control. I have the Keystep and/or MicroKorg leaning up on the side of my makeshift table and I just bring them up on my lap when I want to use them. One thing I hate dealing with is plugging in the MIDI and power cables. Yes I am that lazy, especially after a long bout of posting. You might ask why not leave them plugged in. Well, the cables kind of get in the way of a small storage box I have under the setup. That said, I've been eyeing CME's wireless adapters for some time. When they announced the WIDI Thru6 BT, I thought I'd reach out to them for a review unit as I am a little tight on expendable funds at the moment. Fortunately they agreed to send me the WIDI Thru6 BT and a WIDI Master. You can see the Widi Master plugged into the back of the Keystep and the MicroKorg below. You can see the WIDI Thru6 BT sitting to the side of the OB-6, but in use I just have it resting on the floor to my right and behind me. I was curious if the wireless connection would work with the WIDI Master both pointing directly away from the Thru6 and having my armchair in between. I'm happy to report there were no problems at all. Nada. It just works. I was also curious if I'd have to pair the two every time I powered things on, or after a period of no use. I'm happy to report I didn't have to. I fired them up days later and they just worked. I can now just flip a switch to turn everything on and I'm good to go.

There is one quirky thing I do want to mention. When you first set up the WIDI Thru6 BT and CME Widi Master you might have to update the firmware on each depending on when they left the factory and when the latest firmware update was released. In my case I did have to update both. The quirky thing is after you update either, you have to go into your Bluetooth settings (iPhone Settings for me), click on the WIDI device in the list and select "forget the device", then restart Bluetooth altogether and re-add the device. Basically after the firmware update it's as if the device is seen as a new separate device in Bluetooth settings but will not show up as long as the previous device is still on the list. So, firmware update = new device. If you try to connect the original device it will fail. You can find addtional setup and configuration details on their website here.

That said, once it's all setup and good to go, it's a great little system. The connection is stable and I do not notice any latency at all. I tried maxing out the built-in sequencer and ARP of the Keystep to see if I could overload the connection and it was rock solid.

Anything that can reduce cabling and improve ease of use, especially after a long day of work, is a plus in my book.

You can find additional details on the CME WIDI Thru6 BT, WIDI Master, and additional CME devices on their website at https://www.cme-pro.com.

PS. Apologies for the quality of the pics. The lighting isn't the greatest but that's how I like it. :)

Dual 0-CTRL Sequencing


video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"Let’s try a little dual 0-CTRL sequencing! Since the 0-CTRL is highly oriented around the possibilities of self-patching, it could be fun to extend some of the self-patching ideas to two 0-CTRLs working together. Self-other patching? Or better yet, friend patching!!

Nine splendid Strymon Timeline transmogrifications (no talk)


video upload by Richard DeHove

"Six of the Strymon Timeline's 12 delay modes are featured here, most from the less used "back of dial" zone. The Erica Synths DB-01 provides the raw material to transform. Both machines are running at 74bpm synced from the ERM MIDI Clock on the right. The DB-01 is going straight into the Timeline and from there straight into the DAW. Absolutely no other processing of any kind.

The Timeline is now more than 10 years old yet is still one of the top choices for delay. Since it was so famous I avoided it for ages thinking others must have surpassed it in the meantime. Yet it seems with all its fine flavors and excellent ergonomics it's still very hard to beat. I've churned so many delays it's painful to contemplate but this one looks like staying. I only wish I'd waited just a couple more months and got a midnight edition one instead of the awful greenish bug-guts color.

[SOUNDMIT 2022] SONOCURRENT M T2D / M C3A / C GF4 : modules de distorsion / distribution / macro


video upload by Les Sondiers

"Graham de Sonocurrent est venu de Baltimore au SoundMiT pour présenter ses 3 modules et un expander, les M T2D (double distorsion), M C3A (crossfader / distribution), C GF4 (macro controle et son expander le C GF4e). Plus d'infos : https://www.sonocurrent.com/"

"Graham from Sonocurrent came from Baltimore to SoundMiT to present his 3 modules and an expander, the M T2D (double distortion), M C3A (crossfader / distribution), C GF4 (macro control and its expander the C GF4e). More info: https://www.sonocurrent.com/"



M T2D dual triode distortion
The M T2D dual triode distortion is a Nutube-based distortion module for the Eurorack format, offering two independent channels which can be patched separately for parallel processing, stereo, or multiple sources, or used in series for more complex distortion of a single source (or simply extreme distortion settings).

Spectral tilt filters before each triode stage alternately boost or cut high and low frequencies for different harmonic emphasis. These filters also affect the feedback loops, and can interact in very interesting ways with high feedback settings. The individual tube bias controls can also have a strong influence in combination with high feedback levels, in addition to more subtle shaping of the distortion when feedback levels are low.

Independent control of input level, tube bias, feedback level, and dry/wet mix is available for each channel, with CV inputs for the bias and mix controls. The CV inputs for the mix controls also have dedicated attenuators. A global plate voltage switch offers two different character options, for either smoother distortion or more severe clipping.

Developed by Sonocurrent with circuit design and PCB layout by Eric Schlappi. Designed and assembled in the USA.

"Yes, it is a complete Roland MC-4 system! The MC-4 itself is extremely hard to come by, let alone the tape interface and CV expander module! This one looks like it came fresh from the factory and even has a Roland sticker attached. This is with no doubt the best sequencer Roland has ever built. Such accurate timing and tight synchronization are hard to find in modern products anymore."

Moog Memorymoog With Kenton MIDI SN 1410X

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


via this auction

"The Memorymoog is like having six Minimoogs stacked in one!
VCO syncing
sample and hold
separate filters for each voice!
Unison mode for a fat 18 oscillator monophonic bass and lead sound.

The Memorymoog is the be-all and end-all of all Moogs. Sporting three oscillators per voice and a Moog ladder filter, the Memorymoog is nothing but pure fat. Along with the fat sound comes an equally fat and heavy enclosure (and price tag), so be sure to have several friends handy when transporting the unit.On the surface the Memorymoog is laid out similarly to the Minimoog. Three oscillators with saw, triangle, and square waveforms with variable tuning and range for each. The mixer section provides level controls for each oscillator and the noise source. The filter is the standard issue Moog 24db/oct ladder filter with variable cutoff and resonance. Note that the filter IS self-resonant. A dedicated ADSR is assigned to the filter with variable depth, and a myriad of modulation sources are available from osc 3, the LFO section, and the external inputs. The VCA section also has a dedicated ADSR, and can also be modulated by several other internal and external sources. And finally comes the master VCA with programmable level (a handy feature) and better yet, a headphone jack with level control! Having a dedicated LFO section is a great addition to the osc 3 mod functions available in the original Minimoog"

SOLTON PROJECT 100 / EKO RITMO 20


video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"This is the last out of four videos of songs made entirely with our Solton Project 100. Or almost - We're using it along a few hits and bangs from the EKO Ritmo 20 - a very nice sounding Italian drum machine with individual volume controls for each sound.

For effects we're using two 1980s, 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 :)"
