Erica Synths Bassline - V1 (DIY) vs. V2 (factory)

video upload by John Schussler

"I've been trying to find a good TB-303 clone for eurorack for...about as long as I've been in eurorack.

There are a variety of modules that claim 303 character, but few that actually have it. In this case I'm having a listen to the Erica Synths Bassline modules, of which there are two: one DIY with thru-hole components (big knobs, says Drive in the upper right corner), and one factory version with surface mount (smaller knobs, says Detune in the upper right). I was curious to hear how they sounded against each other.

And then also curious to see how they sounded against the x0x Heart module, which near as I can tell is the closest 303 clone in eurorack (though I've not heard them all, so take that with a grain of salt).

There's a bit of reverb just to make space. Gets a bit grating otherwise.

ReSynthesizer Spectraphon Firmware Update! | Make Noise

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"New Spectraphon firmware version sp67 is available here: https://www.makenoisemusic.com/firmware

It adds the following features:

1. Linear Array Modulation! In SAO, the Slide parameter now selects from all spectra in the Array in a linear fashion. The Focus control is used for spectral compression/expansion.

The original Planar Modulation style is still available. To access, while in SAO hold SHIFT for 2 seconds without pressing any other buttons. This operation is per-Side.

2. New Ramp LFO Shape on Sub/CV Outputs. Select shapes by hold Shift + Press CV on the Side you’re selecting for. Ramp is useful for Linear Array Modulation (patch to Slide with attenuverter set north of midnight) and plenty of other uses.

3. CV output LFOs’ minimum clock rate increased to 8 seconds, via tap tempo on Shift button, or clock input.

If your Spectraphon has a serial number of #2222 or higher, you do NOT need this update.
Check the Array Binary during power for correct sequence. SP67: 0100 0011

If your Spectraphon already powers up with this sequence you do not need this update.

Polycrush 16 - 8-bit synthesizer for Ableton Live

video uploads by ijo audio

"Polycrush 16 is a polyphonic synthesizer inspired by the old 8-bit sounds from retro video game systems of the 80s and 90s. It offers two oscillators as well as a third sub oscillator. Each oscillator has sixteen wave shapes to choose from. From there, you have typical ADSR control over your sound, followed by a bit crusher to make sounds even more lo-fi.

There are also a couple innovative features in the oscillator section. Each oscillator has a display that lets you visualize the waveform. Four buttons on the left of this viewer allow a user to select a portion of the cycle, adjust the selection, scrub through the waveform, as well as draw your own for limitless sound creation potential.

Another easter egg feature is the ability to drop in your own waveforms. This is accomplished by dropping your waveform of choice upon the pixelated images - the heart for oscillator one and the star for oscillator two.

Also included are eighteen presets - six plucks, six basses and six poly leads.

Free updates for life. Planned features moving forward include expanded preset selection, expanded oscillator shapes, and further sound sculpting capabilities in the form of an LFO, a filter envelope, and perhaps some soft clipping.

These retro waveforms have a lovely way of cutting through a mix and can sound positively dreamy with a bit of reverb or delay added. Polycrush. Introductory pricing of $12. Requires Ableton Live Suite as it's a Max for Live device.

It has the duel drive with an HxC Drive installed as well as the stock drive so you can toggle between the two. One of D keys needs to be pressed harder at times however it does work.

Boss DR-110 Analog Drum Machine / AL-110 AlienizeD Mod MKII

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

via this listing

"Heavily and professionally modded DR-110.

It features 24 added controls allowing to change the original sounds drastically, making this modded drum machine the most compact and powerful vintage analog drum machine.

The AL-110 has Midi Sync so you can plug it to your modern gear and actually use it in a modern studio setup.

It provides 8 external trigger inputs so you can trig individual sounds and accent with a standard trig signal, as shown in the youtube video (using in this case the great and affordable Arturia Beatstep Pro).

It also features 4 separate outputs (when a jack is inserted, the corresponding sound is withdrawn from the Main Output).

A great feature is the 'sweep' control, that allows you to trigger BD (Pitch) or CH (decay), with the Accent or with an external trigger source. When trigged, the BD will sweep to a higher pitch or the CH will have a shorter decay, allowing you to create bass-like BD tracks or very lively Hats lines.

The faceplates are high quality engraved anodised aluminum.

This version comes in the new great looking beech wood enclosure."

11.03.2024 Mos-lab 2500 - Nice filters

video upload by batchas

"I recorded on 2 tracks in the DAW. Track 1 is the output of filter 2 and track 2 is output of filter 1 (hihat sound made with noise).
I don't have a multiplier in the 2500. So to multiply the clock of the hihat I simply copied the hihat track in the DAW afterwards and shifted it a bit to make it a double of the main clock.
I send the output of the sequencer to a quantizer before going back into the matrix to control the CV of the 3 oscillators."
