Buchla Explorations

video upload by Prism Circuits

"This event was curated by Buchla and Prism Circuits to bring a night of Buchla instrumentation. It is rare that one gets to see a live show with a Buchla instrument involved, let alone 4 individual performers playing all Buchla. The exact reason for bringing this show to life was to let guests here the true raw sound of these instruments in a live setting to explore the sonic possibilities.

Double The Power Of Your Hardware With A Good Controller

video upload by EZBOT

"Today, we’re going to check out the SHIK MIDI Controller and how it works. The SHIK has some special features that you don’t usually find on other controllers, especially at its price. These features include Macro controls and MIN/MAX control, which let you customize your grooveboxes way more than a basic MIDI controller. I’ve paired it with the Octatrack Performance Mixer 3.0 Template to show you exactly what I mean.

Geometric Anomaly | by This Is Not Rocket Science

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"The Geometric Anomaly earned SonicState's 'best of modular' on Superbooth 2024 so I am proud to present it to you. However...
Only 50 were made and some are 'reserved', whatever that means.
So how does this work?

TiNRS is basically Stijn and Priscilla Haring-Kuipers from Amsterdam so it's a small independent manufacturer with limited resources. Stijn made the Geometric Anomaly 'for his birthday', so the plan was to make only one. Then Priscilla said something like 'nice, get yourself a different present, and build a few more, like 50'. Anyway, the Geometric Anomaly is a very limited edition and time will tell how limited it really is. If I am informed correctly, they ran out of parts to build more.

I am a big fan of TiNRS, so I bought one and I'll treat it as any other new module worthy of a cool video.

TiNRS likes to perform live, and usually they had to drag a big Fenix IV modular synth to a gig. The Geometric Anomaly is a slimmed down mini Fenix with two VCO's, ADSR envelope generators and filters. One SVF, one Ladder. It looks like a complex VCO, but I'd describe it as a 'live performance synth' that's made to tweak on stage. It can make huge sounds with minimal effort but it also provides plenty of resources to go 'complex' if you really want to. It may not be 'best of modular', but I think it deserves the predicate 'best new VCO for live performers'. But I am biased, so just listen and decide for yourself.

I could use the fortcoming 'Bopp & Steve' effect module in this video, but I need to emphasize that it's a prototype and there's still a lot of work to be done because the planned DSP chip was recently updated and a rewrite is necessary. I'll keep you posted."

Threetom Modular MIXING FLASK

See this previous post for a demo.

"The Threetom Modular 'Mixing Flask' is a utility mixer offering mix-bus limiting and a cornucopia of indicator lights integrated behind a unique chemical lab-inspired front panel.

I designed Mixing Flask as a solution to my main three gripes with conventional utility mixers:

Mixing too hot is too easy, leading to hard clipping on the mix-bus. And even when there’s an indicator light to warn you when this is happening, there are no features to actively prevent it.

Utility mixers usually only offer unity gain, so when you have a weak input signal (like a MTM Radio Music), you’re out of luck

They’re nauseatingly boring

Mixing Flask provides solutions to these annoyances in the following ways:

I’ve implemented a soft-clipping limiting circuit on the mix-bus (inspired by Doppio). The highest setting prevents the mix-bus from hard clipping altogether in favor of warm saturation.

All inputs have a gain of +6dB allowing you to better equalize between volumes while maintaining a hot mix-bus output

The myriad of indicator lights and front-panel graphics make you feel like a mad scientist in your modular chemical lab. I bet you won’t find another utility mixer that makes mixing more exciting than Mixing Flask!

Mixing Flask will be available soon after Dutch Modular Fest, both from my retailers and in my own shop!"

CerasusMixer - Digital Controlled Analog Mixer (日本語解説)

video upload by centrevillage

"Cerasus Mixer is a 5 channel digital controlled analog mixer. Designed as the ideal mixer for compact live systems.

It has two AB stereo outputs, and you can set which output to assign to each channel.

Channels 1 to 3 are monaural input channels, and 4 to 5 are stereo input channels. Channels 2 to 5 allow CV control of volume level, and channels 2 and 3 also allow CV control of pan.

The audio signal path is all analog and uses an SSI2164 VCA for volume control, resulting in low noise and good sound quality.

Thanks to digital control, it takes up only 12 HP of space and provides the following features:

- Mute with button
- Trim level settings for each channel
- Limiter settings for each channel
- Accent or ducking effects on each channel
- LED displays each channel volume and peak level
- Change panning type (linear or constant power)

Multiple Cerasus Mixers can be chained together, in which case they can be used as a mixer with 10 or more input channels.

Chompi and Teenage Engineering TX-6

video upload by Luca Longobardi

"... I come here every day, say hello to the butterflies, and talk about things with them. When the time comes, though, they just quietly go off and disappear. I'm sure it means they've died, but I can never find their bodies. They don't leave any trace behind. It's like they've been absorbed by the air. They're dainty little creatures that hardly exist at all: they come out of nowhere, search quietly for a few, limited things, and disappear into nothingness again, perhaps to some other world.
(Haruki Murakami, 1Q84)"

TouellSkouarn "Distresañ" (3 Bands Stereo Cut/Boost EQ). Demo by Moritz Scharf.

video upload by TouellSkouarn

"In this video you'll find useful information about how the frequency bands of the Baxandall EQ behave and what the channel offsets of this Eurorack module do.

Distresañ has three main frequency knobs (in the center of the module) which alter both audio channels evenly. For more complex use cases Distresañ offers an offset knob per band per channel (left and right of the module).
