Analogue Solutions Maximus | A True Polyphonic Synthesizer
video upload by Analogue Solutions
"Here are several sound demos and examples of the Maximus polyphonic synthesizer.
We have included a variety of sound types, but given the vast sonic possibilities and features of the Maximus, demos will need to be spread across several sessions to grasp the scope of what this synthesizer can achieve.
This video includes examples of warm pads, sequenced chords, leads, fifths, bass lines, multi-part performances, and combo keys (bass + pads)."
50 Tempera Custom Patches [Bank 1] by synth_nyc
You can find hi-res demos on https://synthnyc.com
Some info on the set via synth_nyc
"As with my Kaivo custom patches, this sound bank only uses Factory Samples.
The Tempera has several workflows. I’m focussing my sound bank on having the Tempera sound generated by an external keyboard (Emitters are configured in ’Toggle’ placement mode), and also on having tonal patches.
The way Beetlecrab Audio implements granular synthesis is very interesting IMHO, it really shines in generating controlled random sounds (!), I mean it creates easily a rhythm or pattern if you’d like in the patch, but with random changes. A bit like a random ARP would do on a chord. The result is very musical IMHO. If you add that this randomness can be placed in the stereo field (L/R or Center/Middle) with some Jitter (or not). And that you can scan tracks vertically (Y) and / or several tracks horizontally (X) - up to 8 with up to 4 Emitters; the possibilities are endless.
Many of my patches scan tracks vertically (Y) only as I found that already creates a great novel soundscape, but several patches scan several tracks horizontally as well (that’s the ones with a XY suffix in the Patch Name)
It would be possible to create some of this controlled randomness if you were to use Korg Wave Sequencing 2.0 and add some randomness to each Step using the Probability parameter, but you would not be able to go as far as the Tempera.
The most interesting results IMHO are with samples that present spectral changes (across time) or temporal changes (gap, etc…) across time and with a fixed pitch. Though I’ve used some samples that had pitch changes (the FX is also interesting) and no (clear) pitch.
Lastly, unlike my experience with other synthesis where I can hear in my head the sound result before adjusting a parameter, with Beetlecrab Audio implementation of Granular Synthesis, sometimes the result is unpredictable (at least to me) but often musical."

Introducing IOLabs Particles - Touchscreen Physics Simulator for Eurorack
video uploads by IOLabs
A new module from the makers of Flux. IOLabs Particles is currently live on Kickstarter here.
Video Playlist:
IOLabs Particles: Touchscreen Physics Simulator for Eurorack!
IOLabs Particles: Centered Gravity Quantize Demo
IOLabs Particles: Collision Physics Demo
"Live on Kickstarter from Jan 31st 2024!
Our new module offers the possibility to create music using our creative physics engine. Add particles, animated surfaces, portals, black holes and generate gates on collisions, CV output voltages & quantized melodies!
Each particle can have entirely unique physics parameters including acceleration, velocity, mass & gravity! All interact in your simulation to create collisions and XY positional data that can be mapped to generate musically useful gates, voltages & notes. Collisions for some particles may even be switched off so that they move freely around the screen without colliding with other simulation elements.
Multiple quantize zone maps can be used simultaneously to create chords and multiple particles may be mapped to the same output to allow transposition of melodies. CV outputs can be set to send a transposed voltage from another output for easy chord generation.
One particle can control all outputs or all particles (up to 50) can control one output, and anything in between. As with Flux, we have aimed to keep the module as flexible as possible. All simulations can be drawn from scratch using the touchscreen or simulations can also be crafted in fine detail by inputting exact values in the UI.
Multiple external and internal timed resets can be used simultaneously per particle to sync to external equipment or create repetition and complex rhythms as explored in the demo video.
Endless rhythmic and melodic possibilities await!
Please note - the module's hardware itself obeys the real world laws of physics as is in no danger of floating away from your case should you experiment with gravity values. It should however be held in place by mounting screws (just in case)."
NAMM 2024: Shear Electronics Relic - No Talking
video upload by sonicstate
"The journey of the Shear Electronics Relic has been a long one, first seen back in 2017 - a young lad Jacob Shear had a project he was showing, which back then was pretty ambitious, an analog Oberhiem clone (before everyone elses!).
A couple of iterations and a redesign later, its nearing completion and we were finally able to hear it in action. In this video Jacob and Jim Heywood of @EarmonkeyMusic flip some presets so we can get to hear the unique instrument.
There are very few units, each being built to order, but you can put your name down, the price is expected to be in the region of $6500 with units coming online in March 2024.

"Jim Heywood from Earmonkey music responded to multiple requests via our Instagram comments to take a closer look at the Modal Electronics Carbon8.
It looks like after a period of uncertainty, that Modal will be back, and the Carbon8 will be in production.
Carbon 8 employs over 40 complex waveform algorithms, and is geared towards the more aggressive and modern spectrum of sounds. With two discrete oscillators, the Carbon 8 has a similar form factor to earlier Modal Synths, but has a new mixing stage with independent level controls for each oscillator."

Elektron Digitone "hypha"
video upload by Benjamin Brodie
"Combining deep FM synthesis with a familiar subtractive synthesis signal flow, the Elektron Digitone is an amazingly powerful 8-voice synth. And with Elektron's acclaimed sequencing onboard, your creative potential is practically unlimited. Digitone is ready to create with four independent synth tracks, each with a 4-operator FM synth engine featuring eight different FM algorithms. Those algorithms — along with pretty much everything else — can be locked to different values for each sequence step. Factor in four MIDI tracks, an arpeggiator for each track, two LFOs per synth voice, multimode filtering, and built-in effects, and the Elektron Digitone may just be the FM synth you've always wanted to perform with.
The complex timbres and sonic animation you can create with FM synthesis make it a unique method of sound creation, and Digitone presents it in a welcoming fashion. Each of the four synth tracks features its own 4-operator FM synth engine with eight algorithms. Elektron gave Digitone a familiar subtractive synthesis-style workflow that makes tweaking these voices fun and intuitive. And with the potential to lock a different synth sound into every sequence step, Digitone offers far more sonic potential than most 8-voice synthesizers — or most FM synths in general for that matter.
The elusive song of the desert, caused by grains of sand rubbing against each other, is nature’s own FM synthesizer. Sometimes roaring, sometimes wailing, always enchanting. Enter the alluring dunes of Digitone: a compact synthesizer that fits snugly at home, in the studio, and on stage.
FM synthesis occurs when you modulate the pitch of one oscillator with another, to achieve rich and unexpected timbres. The ratio and rate of modulation impact the resulting sound. Digitone uses four oscillators, or operators, per voice. A particular configuration of operators is called an algorithm. For classical FM synthesis, it ends here.
With the Digitone, you get to shape, enrich and modulate the sound even further, using the powers of subtractive synthesis. Use the multimode filter with its custom envelope to soften or pronounce the wild overtones. Cut off the low, mid, or high frequencies. Sculpt with style and precision. Define the sound decisively using the full-featured amp envelope. Carve the contour of the sound.
You can add more movement to the sound using an LFO or two. Set any sound-shaping parameter in automated, repeated motion. At a very slow or a very fast speed, using a variety of different waveshapes, including a random one. Make your sound sway gently like the ocean, or flutter like a butterfly."

Outer Limits of the Akai AX80 | Affordable Alternative to the Roland Jupiter 6?
video upload by Greg Wilder
"Is the Akai AX80 a handsome but BORING instrument? Not so fast. This gorgeous brute has mastered things other synths can't touch.
Simply put, the AX80 has a STRONG personality. But to find it, you'll have to push it to the outer limits of what the engine was built to do. To quote the great WC Olo Garb (https://www.youtube.com/@Jexus)...
'The bass feels not like fresh warm blood pumped into your veins - it feels like getting hit in the head with a large rubber baseball bat. The lead feels not like rubbing your belly with a feather - it feels like having your ribcage ripped open by an electric bread cutter.'"

Where's the Easel? | Exploring the Buchla/TipTop 200T series

"Ah, last jam of the month. I've been interested in the Easel for a long time. Today I finally found out that many of the Easel's components are present in the current 200T lineup. But for some reason, Easel performances almost always sound more musical. So why is that? I think the answer is 'keys'. 50% of the Easel is a touch sensitive keyboard, while a case full of 200T modules will just bleep. So for this jam, I added a keyboard."

A Powerful Sequencer with lots of UNIQUE functions // NONO Modular Major Tom (Eurorack Prototype)
video upload by DivKid
"I jumped at the chance to play with a prototype of Major Tom, NONO Modular's first Eurorack module, currently on Kickstarter (HERE - http://bit.ly/KickMajTom). It's very much still a prototype with updates already in place (beyond what I have here) and new ideas to be implemented as well.
NONO Modular have been in the Eurorack space for years with their cases (see those here http://nonomodular.com) but this is an impressive entry into the module space. Major Tom is 4 channel gate & CV sequencer with a unique polyrhythmic approach that places a 8th note triplet grid over a 16th note grid and allows you to sequence across both easily. There's also switchable variations per part, gate fragments, dynamic gate adjustments and plenty more.
If you're interest there's details and backing options on Kickstarter here // http://bit.ly/KickMajTom
**NOTE //** while I'm just making beats here, you could be using this for melodies, riffs and basslines or even 4 voice polyphonic work. These are just the things my quick playing led to.

"Korg PS-3300 + Antonus 2600 Original Size live jam demo improvisation 'Pompidou in Tokyo' by Toni Gutierrez
Here is the third video of a series with the wonderfully enormous (in all aspects) Korg PS-3300 playing with Antonus instruments. This Korg PS-3300 was in Antonus studio and workshop during some months for study, works and of course for enjoy it playing.
This third video is an improvisation using Korg PS-3300 with the Antonus 2600 Original Size model. Connected both instruments with so many patching points for make this abstract and experimental track, looking also for the west coast essence that can be found in the 2600 design. The 2600 is a wonderful design were we can find good examples of the east and west coast schools.
Is very interesting to play with the polyphonic concept of the PS-3300 and at the same time work with structural part and auto generative patterns. I will to continue to make more experiments in that way, is a very unique instrument!
Also the wonderful design of the 2600 allows to make a very fast performance, so faster than the 3300 due to the slider design and how are placed... offering the the feeling of hand moulding sense, like sculpturing with hand, that allows to the performer to feel that is one more element of the system interacting with all parts.
The demo is recorded in one take, no multitrack was used in this recording. Only Korg PS-3300 + Antonus Step Brother + Korg SDD1200 dual delay unit.
Unlike the other two previous tracks this is very abstract. For people that doesn't like this kind of music I recommend to check the other PS-3300 videos with more melodic content.
Thanks to Ernesto Romeo from La Siesta del Fauno studio laboratory in Buenos Aires for bring us for a time this awesome piece of electronic music history."

BAF 2024: Soma - Enner
video upload by sonicstate
"At Buchla And Friends 2024, Sonic State caught up with Kevin at the Soma booth to find out more about the Enner synthesizer, which, due to increasing popularity, Soma have been ramping up production. The synth boasts a psychedelic aesthetic and excels at generating noisescapes while also offering the flexibility for melodic performances via its (we think copper) touch pads.
Enna is slightly reminiscent of the Lyra synthesizer, but with a pulse output section and a built-in piezo microphone, activated by a large pad. The Enner has a delay line with feedback and time controls for the left and right lines, and Kevin demonstrated the Bizarre Control which adds pseudo random modulation to the delay line leading to some screamy noise textures. The touchplates respond to touch, and Kevin even demonstrated the use of a metal scouring pad to create some crunchy tones. Enner can also be used as an external effects processor, to add some strange to your incoming signal.
Enner Price: 799 USD"
BAF 2024: EarthQuaker Devices - Wave Transformer
video upload by sonicstate
"At BAF 2024 Sonic State had the opportunity to speak with Karl from EarthquakerDevices about their latest release, The Wave Transformer oscillator. This complex single oscillator is fully analog and features a unique wave shaping circuit called Transform. Unlike traditional wave folders, Transform breaks the waveform apart, applies voltage math, and reassembles it on the output, resulting in an asymmetric crumpled waveform with added harmonics. The Wave Transformer offers seven different outputs and nine inputs, providing plenty of versatility for modulation and sound design.
The Wave Transformer also offers both hard and soft sync options, each providing their own sonic flavours, and by utilizing bipolar signals, users can achieve different sync sounds and even create filtering effects.
The Wave Transformer is available now. Price 199 USD"
"The Wave Transformer is an analog, vintage-voiced, voltage-controlled oscillator with over 8 octaves of accurate pitch tracking. It has 7 simultaneous wave outputs, including a unique Complex output.
The Transform control morphs from a basic waveform through many strange iterations into a complex, gnarled mass of audio mutations at the Complex output. You can yield countless variations on these permutations by combining this novel circuit with Hard Sync, Soft Sync, Linear FM and Exponential FM. Additionally, you can mute the source waveform to use the circuit as a harmonic gate/VCA, rendering The Wave Transformer a voice unto itself. If that is not enough, there is a Shape Insert that allows you to transform external oscillations and modular-level audio sources."
BAF 2024: AMMT - Clutch High Hat Module

AMMT showcased their new hi-hat module called Clutch, which is a dual sample player designed to create high-quality hi-hat sounds. The module includes various features such as blend knobs, surface control, release, pitch, balance, and filters. It also offers CV capabilities for added modulation possibilities.
The Clutch hi-hat module is expected to be released in the next couple of months with a price around $399."

"At NAMM 2024, Sonic State had the opportunity to catch up with Chris and Walker from Soundtoys to discuss their latest plugin, SuperPlate. Released about nine months ago, SuperPlate has become a standout product for the company. Unlike traditional reverb plugins, SuperPlate is an evolution of Soundtoys' LittlePlate, featuring five meticulously modeled plate reverb bottles, including iconic models like the EMT-140 and EMT-240.
What sets SuperPlate apart is its auto decay feature, that allows for infinite decay while intelligently managing the reverb's intensity when playing into it. We delve into the algorithmic modeling process, stereo controls, and the plugin's ability to smoothly emulate the characteristics of various plate reverbs.

Creating a midi controller for the microKorg
video upload by Dean Coyle
"I really do love the microkorg, I think the features it brings at the price point were amazing when it first was released. It gives you enough of a taste of important tools synthesizers use to create sounds. I think it could be a great beginner synth, but then again it is still used by LCD soundsystem to the Killers.
I set myself the challenge of creating a midi controller to help unlock features of the synth and make it more user friendly. My goal was to move away from the matrix tool and have a control for every possible control.
Ok on reflection this is turning a microkorg into a ms2000.
Though I do find the synth a lot more enjoyable to play and feel more in control of shaping the sound.
Normally I would cover more of the coding and electronics, but I don't think I can do Notes and Volts justice: https://www.youtube.com/c/NotesAndVolts
Overall it was a fun project, there are a couple more synths that need this treatment.... watch this space."

In general most forms of sync expect a standard 24PPQN clock and Run 'Din Sync' type signal set for the Clk and Run inputs. These settings can be changed from Pam's BPM menu to accomodate other common clock PPQN speeds and Run or Reset signals to align with the sync signals produced by other hardware devices."

How To Make a Test Equipment Drum Machine

"Test Equipment was for me always an experiment: using unmusical science, medical and engineering tools for music is Dark Souls level of synthesis difficulty. Coaxing tones out of them requires dedication and patience, but is very rewarding, both in developing new skills and musical results. I tried to stay to true to the tiny test equipment music world, shunning easy solutions to make it music, like using it with regular sequencers, sampling the wall or excessive editing in post. But after a few crucial pieces died off and repair costs sky-rocketed and I decided to combine it with Eurorack modular. I was very surprised by the result.

BAF 2024: New Systems Instruments - New Modules
video upload by sonicstate
"At Buchla and Friends 2024, Sonic State caught up with Evan from New Systems Instruments to discuss their latest modular offerings. Evan showcased three main modules: the Triphase Oscillator, the Harmonic Shift Oscillator, and the Inertia function generator.
The Triphase Oscillator offers three phases of a sawtooth oscillator with a bipolar mixer, allowing for extensive control and the creation of unique super saw sounds. On the other hand, the Harmonic Shift Oscillator provides control over level and stride which controls the spacing between harmonics, enabling users to create a wide range of sounds with non-integer spacing between harmonics. This FM-inspired oscillator introduces a unique twist by omitting negative frequencies typically associated with inharmonic FM. The Inertia function generator, with its rise and fall momentum controls, allows users to shape snappy envelopes, add peaks, and even function as an LFO at extreme settings. Additionally, it can serve as a versatile filter, producing squelchy filter sounds.
All of these modules are currently available on the New Systems Instruments website and selected stores. The Triphase Oscillator is priced at $385, the Harmonic Shift Oscillator at $365, and the Inertia function generator at around $345.

BAF 2024: Catalyst Audio - MIG Modules
video upload by sonicstate
"At Buchla and Friends 2024, Sonic State had the opportunity to speak with David from Catalyst Audio about their latest release, the MIG series vacuum tube modules. This series includes a VCO, mixer, VCF, VCA, and a noise source, all designed around new old stock tubes from Soviet fighter jets in the 80s. David explained that the collaboration between Buchla and Friends and ElectroSurf led to the development of these modules, with ElectroSurf handling the tube circuits and David working on the layout and production. The MIG series modules feature unique waveform shaping capabilities due to the use of two tubes, allowing for audio rate switching and balance adjustments. The VCO, mixer, filter, and VCA all offer distinct tonal changes and features that can be overdriven for added versatility. The noise module provides a wide range of sound possibilities, from pitched variations to white noise textures. Currently, they have about 1,500 tubes in stock, making these modules a limited edition item. However, the tubes are perfect for Eurorack systems as they consume low power, making them compatible with standard power supplies. The final price is yet to be determined, but it is expected to be around $400.
