1010music Blackbox Version 3 Update Overview


video upload by 1010music

"We are pleased to offer blackbox 3.0.7 firmware. Version 3 is a significant step forward for sequencing, songwriting, and arrangement.

Each of the 16 sequences now have 4 layers. You can sequence and switch between all 64 layers for more advanced songwriting. You can now double a sequence. Double will double the length and content. Double allows you to write in smaller sections and extend as needed. The new Song mode can have up to 32 song scenes per preset. Song scenes can control sequences, Clips, Slicers, Granular samples, and one-shots. Scenes can be looped within a song. Songs mode now has 2 loop modes. You can loop a single scene or the entire song. You can also trigger each scene individually using MIDI notes.

MID-only sequences are now fully independent of internal Pads. MIDI routing has been redesigned. You now have more complete control over MIDI input and output. You can selectively route MIDI in, out, or thru the blackbox. You can enable or disable the USB Device port, and have total control over how clock + transport is sent and received.

- fourier analysis / resonator
- additive synthesis
- 8 bit Sampling for the WAVE 2.2
- sequencer / event generator
- storage of sounds on 8" disc

The demo track shows the Wave 2.2 sounds features with the Waveterm A. You hear the wavegenerator of the PPG wave 2.2 synthesizer controlled with the Waveterm A.

The PPG wave 2.2 Synthesizer from the year 1982 is one of most fascinating synthesizers ever. You can find a lot demo videos, sound tutorials about the Wave and the Waveterm in the PPG wave playlist. The PPG playlist:"

Trovasi Connects: Circuit Tracks with Eurorack


video upload by NovationTV

"Our second video in our @Trovarsi Connects series, featuring Circuit Track with Eurorack.

The Bass and Lead synth voices are coming from the Circuit Tracks and the textured voice is coming from the Nanobox. The drums are a combination of percussive elements from the four drum channels on the Circuit Tracks and the 6Mod6 eurorack module.

Both the audio from the Nanobox and the 6Mod6 are routed through the two audio inputs on Circuit Tracks, and are being sequenced by Tracks using the two separate MIDI tracks."

https://lfo.store/

"Polivoks is a monophonic analog synthesizer developed and produced in the USSR from 1982 to 1990. Thanks to its unique sound and appearance, it has become one of the most popular and well-known Soviet synthesizers in the West.

Several years ago, Polivoks was issued in a limited edition (100 copies) handmade in Moscow, Russia. We've got Polivoks Reissue in our hands.

Chewy Monster Harmonics! // Acronym from WORNG Electronics (Eurorack VCO w/ TZPM, Subs, & Morph)


video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the new analogue oscillator module from WORNG Electronics ‘Acronym’. It’s a 12HP Eurorack module with stable tracking, thru zero phase modulation (musical FM!), subs, wave morphing and folding. It’s fair to say it can sound pretty beastly with lovely options for self patching (subs to TZPM or subs to morphing are my favourites) which creates some really rich chewy and monstrous harmonics.

WORNG Electronics' ACRONYM is a new type of morphing analog oscillator that also features two sub outputs and a built-in CV controlled wavemorpher, tied together in a spacious, ergonomic design. With a triangle oscillator core capable of thru-zero modulation, and a unique voltage-controlled wavemorphing output, the ACRONYM is fantastic for creating unique textures. Self-patch with the five outputs for some incredibly chaotic sounds and the components and layout have been designed for hands-on performance and tweaking. WORNG knows how to make great-sounding modules that are fun, and with the ACRONYM, you get the pinnacle of this philosophy.

ACRONYM FEATURES

Analog triangle-core VCO
5 Outputs for sine, tri, 2x sub-octaves, and wavemorph
Wavemorph seamlessly goes from triangle–square–saw–folded sine
Ergonomic design for hot-knobbing
