PlantsSystem-HirajoshiModulator


video upload by plantssystem

"PlantsSystem latest work, 'Hirajoshi Modulator' is a refined experimental piece built using Renoise phrase scripting engine. In a composition inspired by the classical chord scale 'Hirajoshi' the abstract tones produced by the SEQUENTIAL Prophet-5 continue to transform with meticulously controlled patterns. The series of sounds woven by the machine and the senses go back and forth between tranquility and tension, penetrating deeply into the listener's consciousness. It is systematic, yet somehow poetic. It is a work that vividly depicts the artist's pursuit of the possibilities of sound."

Suncrest Echoes | Dual Elektron Monomachine IDM with the new aftermarket +Drives from MachineStore


video upload by MIDERA

"Last night we decided to get a Corn Snake. I used to have a beautiful California King Snake that I sadly parted ways with back in 2014. I deeply regret that. My daughter was begging to have a pet that was 'hers' and after thinking through the options (my favorite being a rat, but I'm allergic to them now), we went with a snake. My daughter kept going back to one that had a 'small tail', making it B grade. It's likely it was incubated too hot and now has a defect. But it was cute that she continued to choose that one over all the others. I think deep down she figured I'd be most likely to accept the 'cheapest one' but she maintains it was because she felt bad for it because no one seemed to want her. She named the snake Mocha because "you both like Mochas" (referring to me and my wife). Currently, the snake has been staring at me for the last 30 minutes.

I also wanted to plug the new +Drives for the Elektron Monomachines and Marchinedrums. If you have these instruments, definitely consider the upgrades if you don't have them. I purchased TWO of them. Installation was incredibly simple too. Here's a set of links to check out. Ask questions too!

LPZW Elster 909-Style Cymbal Module Sound Demo

Check wih dealers on the right for availability.


"Elster from LPZW is an all-in-one cymbal section in 4HP, based on the circuitry and ROMs of the classic 909 drum machine. It provides three different cymbal sounds, including Ride, Crash, and both open and closed Hihats. It contains a number of creative and performance based controls, such as the dedicated Accent CV input, giving you access to the same kind of expression found on the original machine. The Decay slider allows you to dial in the perfect sound for your cymbals, along with the bipolar CV input for extra expression potential. The Pitch slider gives you access to the classic Pitch/Speed sound from modulating the speed of samples, along with the Range switch, which emulates a similar pitch range as the original 909, or expands the range even further for more experimental results.

The Reverse Playback button gives you instant access to reversed version of each cymbal, apart from the Hihat mode, which when engaged allows the REV CV input to become a trigger for the Open Hihat. The LPZW also comes with a Mojo switch, which when active adds subtle drive and coloration to your cymbals, allowing them to sit better in a full mix. If you're looking for a well-rounded cymbal module, the Elster from LPZW provides excellent sound and performance capabilities, all in only 4HP.

Ebb and flood: a modular bio-modeling of the tide


video upload by Electrum Modular

"Tides and music have a lot in common. Hydrographers decompose tides into their “harmonic” constituents and investigate how ocean basins 'resonate' with certain oscillations, while anthropologists and historians explore how tides have shaped the “rhythms” of social existence (Ancient Hawaiians, for instance, synchronized their daily lives to the tides by singing chants to the moon).

In this video, I recreate some of the complex forces behind the tides, by using precisely-calibrated oscillators, adders, and other modules. I then use this 'bio-model' to drive two musical patches – the first in VCV Rack, the second in Eurorack.

0:00 Patch 1: Harmony of the Tides (VCV Rack)
4:10 Patch 2: Lunisolar voices (VCV Rack + Eurorack)

A few books were useful (and inspiring) for this project:
Jonathan White, Tides: The Science and Spirit of the Ocean (2017); Rachel Carson’s classics, The Sea Around Us (1951) and The Edge of the Sea (1955); and Paul Schureman, Manual of Harmonic Analysis and Prediction of Tides (1958)

Supercritical Redshift 6 Review


video upload by Molten Music Technology

"Reshift 6 is a remarkable 6-voice analogue synthesizer with up to 16 oscillators per voice, stacked or unstacked, unison, polyphonic and paraphonic multitimbral synth machine. There are some alarming holes in the intended feature set, but Supercritical are certainly onto something with the Demon Core Oscillators.

Supercritical sent me the Redshift 6 for review but have no say over the content."

The Massive Sound Of The Logan Vocal Synth


video upload by HAINBACH

"The Logan Vocal Synth is the most massive Italian synth I have encountered, both in size and sound. It combines no less than three of Logan's solo keyboards and adds a monophonic synth. I got to play it at Museo del Synth Marchigiano with my friend ‪@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER‬ . If you want to get a taste of its sound, I have made a Decent Sampler instrument of the "A" voice that is available on my Patreon for all members, including the free tier: / hainbach

Pics of the inside below.

"Fully tested and ready to play those "real bass" sounds you've been looking for! Unit has two EPROMS installed; "SNAPPY" and 'PICK RW JAZZ 2' as shown.

Systems used the 'Real Bass In A Box' slogan for their advertising of this player due to the fact that it has "real" and not synthesized bass sounds. The MIDI Bass produces the exact sound of acoustic and electric basses and boasted some of the most popular bass sounds of its time. The included library of sounds had everything from Slapped & Popped Funk Bass, Flat Picked Roundwound Jazz Bass, Stand-Up Acoustic Bass, Bowed Bass, and much more. 360 Systems also praised the realism of the MIDI Bass as it is touch-sensitive, follows pitch bends, and responds to MIDI patch changes. As a result, it was marketed as the natural complement to digital drum machines and MIDI sequencer/synthesizer systems."

A Control Freak’s Dream
With hands-on control over sweep, resonance, LFO rate and amount, BM-13 is as tweakable as it is musical. Want to slow things down to a hypnotic pulse? Crank that LFO down to a lazy 0.01 Hz. Feeling spicy? Flip it into high gear for warbly, out-there textures at up to 250 Hz. Add a little grit with the Drive knob, fine-tune your output level and explore either 6-stage or 12-stage phasing – each delivering its own flavor dimension and character.

From funked-out guitar riffs to synth pads that melt into space, BM-13 is built for exploration. Guitarists and bassists will love how it adds motion without washing out your tone, while keyboardists and synth wizards can drench their patches in analog swirl. Even in the studio, it’s a secret weapon – run vocals, drums, or entire mixes through it for instant vibe and warmth. And with stereo output capability, your sound can stretch wide across the stage or mix.

Built to Play Modulation doesn’t stop at the stomp switch. BM-13 comes equipped with expression pedal inputs, giving you full control over key parameters from modular gear or performance pedals. Whether you’re a traditional player or an experimental sound-shaper, the Behringer BM-13 PHASER invites you to dive in and make it your own.

"A minimal-ambient piece for norns shield and ‪@somasynths‬ LYRA-8, built from slowly evolving phrases and drones.

norns shield: Runs awake; phrases are altered live with a monome grid. The output goes through a ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ MOOD MK II for reverb, and near the end a micro-loop creates a dense cluster of tones.

LYRA-8: Plays drones and short phrases. Its signal is modulated with a BOSS CE-5 chorus, then processed by ‪@strymon‬ NIGHTSKY for filtering and reverb."
