Controlling a Modded Vox Percussion King with an Arp 1613 Sequencer

video upload by foleytronics fx repair

"This is a modified Vox Percussion King that now has 1/4" trigger inputs for each drum sound. The triggers can be a pulse anywhere from about 2 volts to 15 volts, and the duty cycle can be anywhere from about 10% to 90%. Wider pulses alter how long the snare and castanet rolls.

This is also showcasing Benny's lovely Prime Time 93, which is an excellent match for Tom's Percussion King."

Noise Engineering Announces Three New Firmwares for Their Popular Platform Modules

Ampla Legio multimode filter-gate with vactor-inspired ASD envelope from Noise Engineering

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Ampla Legio was the result of our desire for a stereo gate to accommodate the growing number of stereo audio sources in the Eurorack format. With a multimode filter that can be gnarly or nice, a vactrol-inspired ASD envelope, and CV control over filter frequency and envelope timing, Ampla is a simple-yet-effective solution for organic dynamics control.

More information on Ampla Legio here: https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

If you already own a Legio module, then you can swap to this firmware for free at our website: https://www.noiseengineering.us."

Press release, including the additional firmwares, follows:



"Noise Engineering announces three new firmwares for their popular platform modules: a formant filter, a cross-modulating oscillator, and a multimode-filter gate.

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their flexible Eurorack synthesizer modules, plugins, and guitar pedals, has announced new options for each of their platform modules: Fala Versio, Toros Iteritas Alia, and Ampla Legio, all releasing this December. Now with10 Versio and 7 Legio and Alia firmwares, Noise Engineering is showing the depth and versatility of the platform concept. In short, if you own a NE platform module, you can go to the Noise Engineering website and swap the firmware to anything else on that platform via USB, as often as you like, free of charge. It’s like getting seven (or ten) modules for the price of one.

First up is Ampla Legio, a simple multimode-filter gate. Lowpass gates are a common tool in modular synthesis, and Ampla Legio brings a modern twist, with a stereo signal path and additional functionality. A vactrol-inspired attack/decay envelope with simple controls modulates the internal stereo VCA and filter, and a sustain phase allows the envelope generator to emulate the response of traditional vactrols. A resonant multimode filter replaces the traditional lowpass model, allowing for LP, BP, or HP response with adjustable squelch. The filter’s base frequency can be adjusted to change the timbre of the gate, and also tracks 1v/8va, allowing the filter to be modulated along with the input signal. Ampla Legio is available as a firmware now.

Coming December 17, 2024 is Fala Versio is a formant filter designed with musicality in mind. While many formant filters attempt to mimic vowel shapes and other traditional sounds, Fala is designed to take the process of formant filtering in a new, musical direction. Along with frequency and resonance controls, Fala features a clock-syncable stereo LFO, a wavefolder, and a post-filter saturator that can take the filter’s tone from beautiful to barbaric. Fala Versio will be available as a module but Versio owners can try it out immediately on release by going to the Noise Engineering Firmware Swap page.

Finally, on December 24, Noise Engineering will drop Toros Iteritas Alia. TIA takes complex three-operator phase-modulation synthesis and makes it simple and fun. Designed for ever-evolving sonic landscapes, Toros has three oscillators with CV-controllable frequency and level parameters. A massive range of timbres are hidden behind its simple interface, with three routing algorithms and a bonus fundamental oscillator output for even more patching capabilities. While Noise Engineering is known for its percussion voices,
Toros breaks the mold, excelling at dark drones and ambient performances.

Ampla Legio is a firmware-only release that works on any Legio hardware and is available starting December 10, 2024. Fala Versio will be available as firmware or a paneled module on December 17, 2024. Toros Iteritas Alia will be available as firmware or a paneled module on December 24, 2024. Platform owners can try them out at launch, completely free, by changing the firmware at the Noise Engineering Firmware Swap page: https://noiseengineering.us/portal/firmware/

Just in time for the holidays (and holiday sales!), all three firmwares are available completely free to owners of each platform. Fala Versio and Toros Iteritas Alia available for purchase as complete modules, too.

Features
• Three all-new firmwares for Noise Engineering’s popular platforms
• Fala Versio brings a new take to formant filtering
• Toros Iteritas Alia makes noisy-or-nice PM synthesis easy
• Use Ampla Legio to control dynamics and timber of any stereo signal
• Platform owners can swap to new firmwares 100% free

Availability and pricing:
Fala Versio: Shipping from Noise Engineering and retailers starting December 17th, 2024; MSRP US$393
Toros Iteritas Alia: Shipping from Noise Engineering and retailers starting December 24th, 2024; MSRP US$385

Sonic Artefacts Introduces the Sonic Chessboard DIY Kit: Compose like John Cage!

video upload by Sonic Artefacts

"Play chess and compose music, at the same time! This Sonic Chessboard is a passive Optical Octophonic Audio Panner / light sensitive "chessboard", based on the design by Lowell Cross for John Cage's and Marcel Duchamps' musical chess performance Reunion (1968). It routes 16 audio signals via the 64 light dependent resistors to 8 separate audio outputs. Cover the squares on the board with chess pieces or your hands to make sounds roll through a room and add to the spatial distribution of all the different inputs. Best to be played with a strong bright light mounted on the ceiling above the chessboard.

Limited edition DIY Kit, available at: https://sonicartefacts.com/product/so... & https://patch-point.com/collections/s...

The materials were originally made in small series for Wouter Jaspers' installative sound performance "Indeterminate Structures (2023). Big thanks to ‪@Hainbach‬ for playing chess with me and ‪@Sonoscopia‬ for the original sound installation and of course to the great folks of ‪@patchpoint4043‬ for hosting us!"

Press release follows:

Berlin, Germany – Sonic Artefacts is excited to announce the release of the Sonic Chessboard, a unique DIY musical instrument that merges the worlds of chess and sound. Inspired by Lowell Cross’ design for John Cage’s Reunion (1968), the Sonic Chessboard offers a captivating way to create spatial sound experiences.

The Sonic Chessboard is a passive Optical Octophonic Audio Panner that routes 16 audio signals via 64 light-dependent resistors embedded in the squares to 8 separate audio outputs, changing the volume when a chess piece gets moved from one square to another. By strategically placing chess pieces on the board, users can control the volume and flow of sound, creating dynamic and immersive soundscapes.

ERAE 2 Production is Underway, and Shipping Has Begun!

video upload by embodme

"We're excited to share that shipping officially started last week! As this marks our first large-scale production of 1,000 units, we're proceeding step by step to ensure everything meets the highest standards.

Our commitment to quality control is thorough, but we did encounter a minor hiccup with the first 10 units. The thread lock securing the mount on the back was too tight, making it difficult to swap out the fabric/silicone skins. Rest assured, we've addressed this issue to ensure smooth functionality moving forward.
Every day in December, units are being assembled, tested, and shipped in chronological order of purchase. Our trusted manufacturing partner, Picca, has been instrumental in this process. With years of collaboration on products like the Erae Touch and Norand Mono, we have complete confidence in their dedication. We even spent a week on-site with their team in Shenzhen to fine-tune every step of the production process.

We thought you'd enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at production—check out this short video to see the process in action!

Regarding your shipping notification, you'll receive an update as soon as your package is picked up from the Picca facility. Shipping itself is quite fast, typically taking 2-3 working days once dispatched.

Our goal is to fulfill all orders in December so you can enjoy your unit during the holiday season. However, for some, delivery may occur in the first weeks of 2025. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

We can't wait for you to start creating and exploring with your new unit!"

TR909 Separate Outputs ... plus other corrections

video upload by Starsky Carr

"Following up from my Roland TR909, TR-09 and Behringer RD-9 comparison. [see this post] Some people mentioned it was worth looking at the difference the separate outputs made on the 909 hand how the mix summed things differently. Also, the RD-9 kick weirdly sounded a bit odd when I played it via the trigger pad, but sounded fine when playing in a pattern.

So I've come to redress things I noticed when trying their recommendations. They were right.. comments are cool, and it's nice to see a great community spirit."
