"A piece created using the ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field and ‪@SequentialLLC‬ Prophet-10. It's a beatless track where synth harmonies, enhanced by spatial effects, resonate.

On the OP-1 field, I trigger harmonies with a MIDI sequence output from my DAW, while layering in live keyboard playing. I also manually operate the synth's filter with a knob. The output is processed with ‪@gfisys‬ SPECULAR TEMPUS’s Shimmer Reverb.

On the Prophet-10, I play sounds with a slower attack, and its output is routed through ‪@strymon‬ blueSky to apply deep reverb."

Batverb is the stereo reverb that dreams are made of: less of a room simulator and more of a tail generating pedal, Batverb is an instrument in its own right.

Taking inspiration from our popular tail-generating modules, Batverb brings reverberation and delay to a whole new level with extensive control of timbre, echoes, and dynamics.

Start by setting a predelay time and adjusting Regen to set the length of the tail, from a short slapback-style echo to an infinite wall of reverberation. A variety of unique controls make Batverb sing in any signal chain:

Doom adds in chaotic suboctaves, and Shimmer brings in haunting overtones. With each on its own control, go wild and have both at the same time!

Low and high damping settings for the reverb tank

Add filtering and harmonics to reverb tails

Built-in saturation can apply to only the wet signal or the whole output
Includes onboard dry/wet Blend control and input- and output-gain parameters

Unique Duck switch controls the reverb’s behavior: duck out of the way of an input signal, or match the dynamics of your playing, similar to a gated reverb

Create instant atmospheres with reverb-freezing Hold footswitch
Route the expression input can to any parameter on the pedal

Store and recall 16 different presets and recall them in response to MIDI program-change messages.

Press release follows:


Noise Engineering announces Batverb, an experimental reverb, delay, and infinite-tail generator

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their expansive selection of synthesizer effects and sound sources, announces Batverb, a distinctive stereo reverb with a twist.

Noise Engineering’s take on reverb has always been innovative, creating effects that are as much instruments as they are processors. Batverb is no exception: parameters allow the resulting effects to morph organically from slapback delays to infinite reverb tails.

“Batverb was inspired by our Desmodus Versio module, but when we tried to bring the Desmodus experience to guitar, we realized quickly that we would need to rethink the approach. Batverb shares concepts with Desmodus but shares zero code: the entire thing was redesigned from the ground up, with the dynamics and tonality of guitar at the forefront,” said Stephen McCaul, Chief Noisemaker at Noise Engineering. Kris Kaiser who is the Doer of Many Things at the small company added, “Working with guitar was key, but what sounds great on guitar also works really well for loads of other instruments.” Indeed, Batverb’s stereo I/O and MIDI integration make it a perfect choice for a multitude of instruments.

Kaiser continued, “I like to say Batverb isn’t your father’s reverb because it has such unique features.” She’s not wrong. Along with predelay/delay Time and Regen controls, Batverb includes a number of parameters for shaping the tone of the reverb itself. The Grit switch adds a unique harmonic distortion to the tail or the whole mix, and the Doom and Shimmer controls add in subharmonics and overtones. Batverb also has onboard adjustable highpass and lowpass filters to shape the tone to taste.

Batverb’s configurable Bypass footswitch can cut the reverb tail immediately, or simply mute the input to the reverb processor, allowing the tail to ring out while you play. The Infinite footswitch mutes the input to the reverb tank while maximizing the feedback for an infinite atmosphere.

The innovative Duck switch uses the dynamics of your playing to shape the reverb tail. Use the right setting to duck the reverb out of the way of your guitar’s tone, or the left setting to make the reverb’s dynamics match your guitar’s.

Batverb also stores/recalls up to 16 presets with MIDI Program Change messages. Batverb features a convenient MIDI thru jack, so it’s easy to patch into your MIDI control chain. In addition, all parameters can also be controlled via MIDI for automation and remote control from a DAW or configurable controllers.

Noise Engineering is a member of 1% for the Planet and has been donating a percentage of all sales to environmental conservation. Proceeds from Batverb will benefit the organization Bat Conservation International.

Batverb is available for preorder with MSRP of $499. It starts shipping March 13 from noiseengineering.us and retailers worldwide.

Batverb was designed and built in sunny Southern California.

Waldorf Pulse Plus+ 2.01 SN 830321381

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

via this listing

"Waldorf Pulse Plus in beautiful condition.
It is a late unit, clean, fully responsive, sounds like a beast.
Ideal for collectors or studios that care about gear.

The Plus is the best and most sought-after version of the original Waldorf Pulse.

The differences between the regular Pulse and the Pulse Plus are remarkable, and turn the Plus into a Swiss army knife for modern studios:

MIDI to CV/Gate converter with two CV signals.
It can interface different brands of synths and modules by selecting different voltages, and use the extensive modulation matrix on the CV signals.
CV/Gate inputs to control the Pulse with a modular or from other CV/Gate synths or controllers
External Audio Input to the filter, which is the best version (moog ladder type) of the 24dB LP filter in Waldorf 4Pole "Miniworks".
If you do not know, the Pulse is a serious vintage synth that oozes power and electricity.
As soon as you hear it live, you will realize instantly that it has nothing to do with modern offerings.

Seriously, do not be fooled by its appearance, this thing sounds open, has incredibly fast envelopes and punches very hard, much in the lines of a minimoog or a vintage roland. You will hardly find a better bass machine, it is second to none.

You will see many demos using aggresive sounds, as Waldorf allowed it to saturate the filter by design; however, it can be gentle as well, just by leaving the output of the oscillators to the filter at about 50%, and it will sound very much like a Roland filter.

The allowed frequency range is FULL, so be careful with your speakers... and the filter can also self-oscillate, yielding pure sine signals that are a real blessing for subs, or to make piercing glitches or sounds.

Last... it has a powerful internal modulation matrix and a groovy arpeggiator with panning. The synth responds incredibly well to midi, and there are plenty of VST and IPad editors (and also some hardware programmers) with which you can make easier to edit or perform with the Pulse."

Each one flickers, then passes by.
A rhythm set, precise, confined,
A measured dance, the stars aligned.

Their pulse is locked in loops of four.
A cycle beats, then starts once more.
Tempo 60 point zero, steady, slow,
Yet something shifts within the flow.

A speed offset of 1.000, slight.
A wave that bends the endless night.
The chromatic scale begins to climb,
Ascending high, dissolving time.

Then, soft—an echo, strange but bright.

If time can shift, if notes can bend,
The stars align, but do you know when?

video upload by NOH-modular

"The Pianist is a eurorack polyphonic chord sequencer. It offers eight pitch information that you can choose from to build chords, or have it smartly control your chord modules like Mutable Instruments Plaits, Qu-Bit Chord v2, and more!

This video goes over the brand new firmware update which makes the Pianist module compatible with the CIZZLE & MCO mk2 from the friends at ‪@busycircuits‬ :)

It aims to inform you on how to operate the Pianist and how it can be implemented in a modular synthesizer for musical chord progressions."
