Superbooth 2023: ALM Busy Circuits - TAZM-O - AXON-2

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Zach from ALM Busy Circuits at Superbooth 2023 about their latest release, the TASM-O. This analog through zero oscillator is small but packs features such as an output VCA, through zero FM with a manual control and mod index VCA, two sub oscillators, and a unique octave CV input. It also includes CV inputs with attenuation and offset, making it a versatile and complex oscillator that can create arpeggiator type effects.

Zach also introduced the Axon 2, which is an expander for the PAMs Pro Workout, Squid Sample, and MFX. This expander allows for hands-on controls and assignable buttons that can be used to quickly switch between parameters, mute, tap tempo, and load next or previous banks."

Introducing TAZM-O - Analog Thru Zero Oscillator

video upload by ALM TV

"The ‘TAZM-O’ is an analog triangle core oscillator featuring through-zero frequency modulation and a collection of some of our favourite features of classic oscillator designs.

It includes a continuous morphing wave/pulse width shape control inspired by the Serge NTO, dual SH-101 style varied pulse sub octave outputs, a voltage controlled FM Index typically found in larger complex oscillators, a built in output level VCA and voltage controlled octave transposition similar to the multipliers found on Akemie’s Castle digital FM VCO.

Designed to act as the primary oscillator in your system the ‘TAZM-O’ offers a wide range of timbral and patch flexibility within a relatively compact 12HP size, making it the perfect fit for any modular system.

ALM System Jams

video uploads by ALM TV

Playist:
System Jam #1

This patch is from a series of jams featuring an all ALM groovebox style setup with sequencing from the ASQ-1 & Pam, sounds from Squid, Akemie’s Taiko & Tyso Daiko, and mixing via 2 MEGA-TANGs, Jumble Henge & MFX. A faderbank with 16 offsets is patched around the system for performance and macro controls (making use of the assignable CV inputs of Squid, Pam and MFX).

Big thanks to Ed2d (Edd Butterworth @begg_egg) for the patch / performance and Andrew Duff (@allthesixes666) for the video synth visuals.

Patch notes:
A chord and bass line from the Squid Salmple are processed through the built in channel filters with their cutoffs controlled via assignable CV by the faderbank offsets. The bass line is only triggered, with pitch changes occurring via stepping through different cue sets. The v/oct inputs are used to transpose the chord and bass lines together using the ASQ-1’s global transpose function.

The snare and vocal samples are also a single sample using cue sets to step through different sounds each time the channel is triggered. An additional snare from the Tyso Daiko is layered in and processed by gated PL8 reverb from an MFX.

The faderbank sliders control many changes including open hi-hat width, sample pitch, and the snare/vocal rolls. To create the fast rolls, Pam’s new ‘ratchet’ wave is used to trigger the sounds, with the slider controlling the width parameter to let more/less ‘triggers’ through.

Morphagene // Mega Modularis' First Reel

video upload by Mega Modularis

"OK! Here we go, this is my first try with the Morphagene, I was very excited to finally receive this module, which has been on my wish list for quite a while, so look out for plenty of Morphagene exploration coming soon. I started with a nice loop from Rangoon on the Lubadh and proceeded to explore and figure out how the Morphagene works, and you can come along with me for the journey! This was my first Reel, although I think after filming this I realised I’d made a new reel and still had an empty first reel, but hey, I’m still learning and exploring how this module works! My goal was to create some nice ambient soundscapes from a relatively simple melodic loop, and I think I accomplished that, what do you think? Of course the Morphagene was helped along my Mimeophon and Beads, some of my favourite ambient making modules! Anyway, sit back & enjoy! MM.

Patch Notes:

Audio: Loop from Big T Music Rangoon on the @instruo Lubadh
Main Voice: @MAKEN0ISEMUSIC Morphagene
Audio Processing & FX: Mutable Instruments Beads & Make Noise Mimeophon
Modulation: ALM Pam’s New Workout & @DivKid Ochd"

Waves // Beads as a wavetable synth through the Instruo Lubadh

video upload by Mega Modularis

"For this week’s video I tried using the Mutable Instruments Beads as the only sound source, with nothing plugged in Beads becomes a wavetable synth, which I then modulated and fed into the @instruo Lubadh, before manipulating those recordings and feeding them back into Beads and Monsoon by Big T Music, as well as my trusty @MAKEN0ISEMUSIC Mimeophon delay. This resulted in a pretty interesting ambient patch I think, with some nice use of the time control on the Lubadh, and that lovely reverb-rich granulation of Beads and Monsoon, what do you think? Anyway sit back and enjoy! MM.

Patch Notes:

Voice: Mutable Beads, Instruo Lubadh
Modulation: ALM Pam’s, @DivKid Ochd
Audio FX & Processing: Instruo Lubadh, Mutable Beads & the Big T Music Monsoon"

ALM Busy Circuits Announces PAM PRO Expanders

via ALM @busycircuits

"Announcing PAM PRO Expanders! The PPEXP1 & PPEXP2 are new expander modules for Pamela’s PRO Workout. Extend PRO Pam with extra fixed clock & utility outs, Din Sync and MIDI Clock outputs."

Additional details:

"PPEXP1 & PPEXP2 are two expander modules for Pamela’s PRO Workout that both offer additional dedicated fixed clock, Din Sync & MIDI clock outputs.

Extend Pam as a master to clock external gear with super solid dedicated MIDI & Din Sync clock outputs. The Din Sync clock (x24) and Run outputs can also be patched into a 2nd Pam to easily sync it.

Use the extra fixed clocked gate outputs to free up Pam’s main outputs for unique sequencing or complex modulation duties.

Connects directly to and is powered by the ‘MIDI-EX’ expander header on rear of Pamela’s PRO Workout.

Only a single output expander is supported at any time but either can be used alongside an AXON-1 CV input expander.

Jamuary n.01 | Just Friends, Rings and Desmodus Versio | Eurorack Western story 📜

video upload by Andrea Marzilli

"Hellow 2023 :)
#jamuary is already going on and I'm ready to share with you my first western-ish soundscape!

So basically I'm controlling Just Friends and Rings v/Oct with Ableton, using Endorphin.es Shuttle Control as a USB to CV Converter.
Ableton Push is the main MIDI Controller, providing notes, arpeggios.
Just Friend is in FLOOM mode (LOVE IT!), its amp section is controlled by Zadar and modulated by Stages with some LFOs. Desmodus and Ruina Versio are the FX's for this main voice.
In the background, Rings is simulating a sort of acoustic guitar, reverberated and granulated by Monsoon.
A noisy/tape loop added in Ableton as a finishing touch.

Hope you enjoy!

Headphones as always! 🎧"

Pam's Pro Workout Sequencing Tutorial

video upload by

"In this video we use Pam's pro work out to sequence a our other eurorack modules. The output of Pam's Pro Workout can be used to generate quantized note data, which can be used to control the pitch of an oscillator module in your modular synth. The output can also be used to trigger envelope generators, which can be used to shape the timbre of a sound.

To create a sequence with Pam's Pro Workout, you would use the device to specify the notes and timing of the sequence, as well as any additional parameters such as gate length and velocity. You can then use the outputs of Pam's Pro Workout to control your modular synth in real time, creating a musical performance.

ALM Busy Circuits has been creating incredible eurorack modules for the last 10 years, and on the eve of their birthday they give back with the unveiling of Pamela's Pro Workout!"

Originally released in 2012 and updated to ’Pamela’s NEW Workout’ in 2016, the next evolution of Pam, the ‘PRO Workout edition’ will be released by ALM Busy Circuits on the 18th November 2022 worldwide.

Over the last 10 years Pamela’s Workout has cemented its place in Eurorack systems as a must have unique module. Originating as a useful 8 channel clock & function generator it quickly morphed into so much more; a groove box capable of creating Euclidean & randomised rhythms, a generative music maker turning random control voltages into looped quantised melodies or endless generative melodic sequences. A lot of functions that attracted people to Eurorack were accessible in a compact 8HP ‘Swiss Army knife’ - hence its appeal.

With ‘Pamela’s PRO Workout‘ ALM have built on the original designs maintaining the functional form factor and intuitive workflow adding exciting new features:

A Bigger Hi-Res Full Colour Display: Clearer user interface, visual grids, bigger text, colour options and more.

New Wave shapes: Ratchets, Trapezoid, Parabola & 2 new envelope options.

Cross Output Modulations: Link 2 outputs together to create a unique mix of control voltage for resetting, logic functions & creating unique waveforms.

Flex Operations: Utilise ‘micro grid timings’ to create bouncing ball type beat loops, sped up / slowed down outputs or just general chaos.

More CV Inputs: Up to 4 inputs now available for CV control over Pam’s functionality.

Faster dual core processing: with increased timing and output resolution
