"A light-sensitive, portable sound generator that extends Ear Modular beyond Eurorack.
Its circuitry responds to ambient light, transforming sunlight, shadows, or small light sources into dynamic sonic textures.
Built for direct interaction with the environment, it invites musicians to listen with their eyes and see with their ears, shaping sound through the shifting presence of light.
Equipped with an integrated speaker and powered by a coin-cell battery, it functions as a self-contained instrument—intimate, mobile, and alive to its surroundings.
Solar Sound Card is a series of light-sensitive sound cards.
Each card reacts to variations in light, transforming brightness and shadow into shifting sound.
Every card includes a built-in speaker, and can also be connected to external speakers via an audio jack.
The audio output provides SP+ (tip) and SP– (ring) signals.
At present, there are seven types of Solar Sound Cards — each with its own character, circuitry, and way of playing.
"So several ppl reached out about MSW-830 [see previous posts], and that device is on hold for now.
However! I do have something to announce:
MSW-820
2 VCOs with Saw and Pulse
16 Mode VCF based on the Caveman Totem filter
2 ENV, Noise and syncable LFOs, External In
Onboard MIDI
Eurorackable
Pretty much the analog section from 830.
Coming real soon. Price TBA"
"This is a live performance on an original Buchla 100 from the late 1960s, using the Concrete Box™ , and TX-6 mixer
The patch uses 3 loopers and 2 delays, plus a very old Dynacord VRS23 reverb (which is adding some slightly woozy pitch-bendy-ness to the reverb)
The Buchla has a really basic patch - just one Sine-Saw VCO into the Sharp Cutoff Filter (Lowpass section). There's some cutoff mod from the keyboard capacitance voltage (which is why I'm wiggling my fingers in a rather silly-looking way)
The vintage Buchla 100 sounds so natural, rich and organic, I love it - almost like an acoustic instrument - a brassy, beautiful tone from the saw waves
Also, there's a second VCO (square) going into the HPF section of the Sharp Cutoff Filter (which is independent from the lowpass section in this mode) for the low drones
It builds up a bit like the many fallen leaves which have accumulated upon the now wintery lawn I am gazing upon"
"This is the Party Studio (and the Party Keys) https://www.popumusic.com/pages/party..., a MIDI synthesizer and Bluetooth speaker in one, and this is a first impressions video!

"17 minutes of noodling with the almost-ready Tsunami.
two-stage wavefolder, with low and high breakpoints of each stage variable by potentiometers and collectively by a control voltage. Also with voltage-selectable inversion (invert/not invert)of input mix and voltage-selectable (limit/no limit) output limiting.
"This song is done entirely with the Modor NF1m synthesizer. Sounds ranging from deep pads to locomotive whistles showcase the flexibility of this digital synth."

"As is usual with these, the high gloss end cheeks are not as beautiful as they once were. This also has one repaired key. But it's a great and fairly rare synth, boosted by the brilliant Tauntek firmware upgrade: http://www.tauntek.com/AX80.htm . Just provide your own IEC mains lead. VEMIA will collect and pack this heavy, fragile synth beautifully: 30GBP."
"Ever since I came back home I've been pushing out tracks non stop. finally got something of a workflow going it seems. Not looking forward to editing it all later but thats another story.

2020 Edit:
Still haven't released this track lol. I have been plenty active since I have recorded this track though!"

"Last weekend I was asked to do a full ambient show with no drums, so I got creative with some patch ideas and stumbled upon a feature I had never used before... let's see how deep we can go with this! expect lots of polyphony and wild sequences, things can get crazy today...!
Go ahead and have some fun with the 'Prignalia' stems: https://linktr.ee/colinbenders

_________________________________
Sole but far-from-lonely emperor of a monster 243-module rack, genre-unbound sound explorer, modular mad scientist to the bone, call him whatever you like it’s a fact: Dutch wave-tumbler Colin Benders defies the conventions of so easily tag-slapped electronics as much as his music confronts gravity itself. Untamed and unshackled from today’s main line of tepid production behaviourism, striving in an artistic lane truly his own, Benders has completely veered off the grand street's accepted modus operandi to operate his gear and imagination in utterly innovative fashion.
Having garnered a more than solid experience of the first-hand musician-to-listener experience, Benders keeps on cutting new trails for live electronics, away from drowsy standards and mimetic attitudes. Instead, the Dutch performer pledges to rethink our whole consumption and digestive process of music through lengthy, free-jazz-like momentums to lose your mind and body to. The knowledge and time spent perfecting his craft both apart and before his online audience shines through these patched-up symphonies of boisterous sine-waves, all-engulfing lo-end swells and hair-raising crescendos that have already conquered the likes of Dekmantel, Awakenings, ADE and Berghain.

"Its done!!!
The synth is up and running! after 3 weeks of chaos and many more of evading the task, I finally have the layout I always wanted... time for a quick recap! I'll take you through the steps of how I approached the eurorack design of my monstersynth in this final vlog entry of my build series.
if you're interested in the layout and have a look at the guts of this gargantuan thing, follow these links!
"Another RAW video! No edits, no post-processing, just me cooking some stuff LIVE for you so you can follow along with all the good moments and the oopsy ones too!
I’m using the BINOME DRUM SYSTAMA again, but this time we’re exploring the classic techno rumble kick, the HEAAVYYY SOVAGE way, of course!
Ingredients:
• 1x BINOME
• 1x FAILLE TEMPORELLE
• 1x FONTE (you can use any mult and inverter)
• 1x MELEE (you can use any mono mixer, but you’ll miss the extra grit)
And we jump straight into an unavoidable freestyle jam right after the setup.
Enjoy the video and feel free to copy the recipe to your own taste. Looking forward to hearing your results!

"The RK006 is a tiny true connecting powerhouse. MIDI Outputs are multi function, they can switch from MIDI to GATE or even PWM(CV) signals.
It has 10 built-in presets you can use for practical use cases. This short video demonstrates one of them: the conversion of MIDI to DINSync. DINSync (or Sync24) is an older synchronisation protocol used by various classic drumcomputers like the TR808 and TR606.
With the RK006 website or settings app you can even design your own port configuration if you have special conversions in mind. It works standalone for your live setup but is also directly accessible from a DAW when you use the RK006 as a USB MIDI Interface.
