10/29/25 ARP 1613 + Metasonix R-54 53 52 51 56 + Zerosum ZI61 & VCA + MFB ADSR + OAM + MIDIVERB (…)


video upload by Cfpp0

"10/29/25 ARP 1613 + Metasonix R-54 & 56 & 53 & 52 & 51 + Zerosum Inertia ZI61 & Voltage Controlled Annihilation + MFB ADSR + OAM Time Machine + Alesis MIDIVERB 2

The ARP 1613 sequencer output A controls the Metasonix R-52 sweep CV in, which creates the high resonant rasp on the reversed quarter notes. The R-52 runs into the R-53, which adds the pitch to the R-52 rasp, then through the R-51, controlled by the MFB dual ADSR, gated by the ARP 1613 gate bus 3. This signal goes through the R-56 for more distortion and spring reverb—panned center on the Mackie Onyx 1640, with stereo room reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II. Meanwhile, the more mechanical-sounding squawk/chirp/scream loop is the ARP 1613 quantized output B controlling the pitch of the R-54, which runs through the Zerosum Inertia Voltage Controlled Annihilation, which runs through the Zerosum ZI61, high is controlled by the MFB dual ADSR, gated by the ARP 1613 gate bus 3. The ZI61 is panned left on the Mackie, but it also feeds the OAM Time Machine delay, which is panned center on the Mackie.

Swizzle Circuits - Power Plant USB module



via Swizzle Circuits

Everyone wants a little power, am-I-right? Well that's exactly what we've created - easy USB power in your modular rack to power MIDI keyboards, USB lights, small fans and other things that are a hassle to easily power otherwise. Powered - 6hp (30mm)

I know we all love cables, but enough is enough! Most of the little accessories modular systems need are USB powered, and now there is a way to cut the cabling that goes beyond your rack. Install this slim module in your rack and you can power those pesky USB things such as: MIDI controllers, USB LED lighting for night plays and small USB fans. Put in one at either end of a big system to keep the power handy. There are a few things to keep in mind. Keep the power draw down to about 1000mA total - although the module can provide it, it might not be too kind to your rack power supply (You would be surprised how much power those cheap LED light draw - trust us, we looked!). Not designed or engineered to charge a phone - they make LOTS OF NOISE on the bus!

Just like every Swizzle Circuits module, it comes fully assembled, tested and ready to go. Just take it out of the package and plug it in.

Power Plant USB Module features:

- includes modular power cable. Uses the 12v DC Eurorack supply - no 5V DC needed.

- Fits right in your modular rack to give quick USB power anywhere.

- RED LED power indicator shines through the face to let you know it's ready.

- Both twin USB jacks are back-lit GREEN to help in the dark.

- Provides (2)-twin USB jack plugs for a total of (4).

- Can provide up to 1000mA of 5VDC power - see notes above-.

- Swizzle Circuits custom designed PCB

2025/10 - ESI Granulizer V2.0 - new features and demo on MPC ONE


video upload by Stereoping

"The ESI GRANULIZER is updated to V2. Reminder: the ESI GRANULIZER is a midicontroller allowing to play samples on the EMU ESI (and other) samplers in grains, being free in speed and position. This was the introduction video: [posted here]

New in V2:
1. improved & simplified interface
2. play sample ONE SHOT in adjustable speed without the need to turn the SAMPLE POSITION knob for traveling through the sample
3. play sample LOOPED in adjustable speed with free START and END points. If END is before START the sample will run backwards

The concept works on any sampler supplying SAMPLE STARTPOINT modulation like e.g. the MPC ONE. Thats the content of the video's third part.

A Note for Maschine+ users

The Play Series compatibility on Maschine+ is an unlock for existing owners. A license is needed for Play Series instruments or effects to become available for use on Maschine+ devices. For optimal performance when using sample-based instruments like the Play Series, a high-speed SD card is recommended.

Exploring PoliMATHS' Span Modes | Make Noise


video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"Let’s remember the phrase “From one comes many!” Span and Activate give us three ways (modes) to create different patterns of functions from the eight channels of PoliMATHS. Channel Index mode could be thought of as sort of like Voltage Address, Round mode could be thought of as Sequencing, and Parallel as a Clock Divider. Let’s go through them one by one and we’ll dig in a little further than we had time for in the initial introduction video.

USB Power Everything, without the noise! - How we made the Silent Alchemist for synths and pedals.


video upload by myVolts

"Luke Brennan, MD at myVolts shares his journey, bringing USB power to the world of powered instruments.

With a background in proving power adapters, myVolts have developed a range of solutions so you can power your synths, pedals, AV gear and more with USB. Not only that, but they have created solutions that allow you to do that without the buzz and humm usually associated with USB power.

In this video, he talks of how Ripcord and Step Up, USB-A and USB-C solutions can power your gear. When used with the myVolts mickXer, or with the Silent Alchemist, they can remove ground loops from your setup and make power simple, quiet and easy to manage.

Synthesizing with Moog | Lesson 4: Resonance


video upload by Moog Music

"In 1964 the modular synthesizer was born, and one of its signature components was the Voltage-Controlled Filter. While different oscillator shapes could create a bed of tone and harmonics, the Voltage-Controlled Filter allowed musicians to sculpt a distinct sound out of all those harmonics and even shape that sound over time. A key component in synthesizing existing sounds, the Voltage-Controlled Filter was also capable of creating sounds no one had ever heard before, giving birth to whole new genres of music and defining the sound of electronic music to this day."

A big box with even bigger sounds! Introducing BM-18M CLUSTER BOX


video upload by Behringer

"Adam Husk presents the BM-18M CLUSTER BOX, a compact modulation pedal that blends classic chorus and flanger tones with deep creative control. Switch easily between chorus and flange modes using the range rocker, then shape your sound with Drive, Output Level, and a dry/wet mix.

At Behringer, we believe in pushing the boundaries of music technology to make high-quality gear accessible to everyone. Our mission is to empower musicians at every level by delivering innovative tools at a fraction of the cost—without compromising on sound or performance."




Classic Modulation, Reimagined

The Behringer BM-18M CLUSTER BOX is a modulation powerhouse that blends the warmth of classic chorus and flanger tones with a modern edge. At its core, a simple range rocker lets you switch between lush chorusing and sweeping flange textures—but the CLUSTER BOX is anything but basic. Whether you're chasing vintage shimmer or pushing into wild, unpredictable territory, this pedal is built to inspire.

Deep Control, Limitless Texture

Beyond the familiar sounds lies an expressive control layout designed for sonic sculpting. Shape your tone with adjustable Drive and Output Level for analog-style saturation, or blend dry and wet signals to taste. A six-shape LFO selector lets you modulate Rate, Amount, Delay, and Feedback in highly creative ways—while a dedicated tap-tempo footswitch keeps your modulation locked to the groove.

Modulation Meets Modularity

From pedalboard to modular rig, the CLUSTER BOX opens up a world of routing possibilities. Control key parameters via CV, MIDI, or expression pedal, and sculpt your effects further with a dedicated feedback insert loop. USB-C integration with the Guitar Tribe App adds even more flexibility, while stereo output with DIP switch customization ensures the pedal plays nice with any setup—guitar, synth, or studio.
