Dubby "this is the ultimate music tool" by Componental // DivKid Discussion Machina Bristronica 2024
video upload by DivKid
You might remember Dubby from this set of Machina Bristronica videos.
"Back at Superbooth I was pleasantly surprised to see a quadrophonic dub delay called Dubby, learning that it could work in quad, dual stereo, 4x mono or a whole range of flexible FX routings sounded great. Fast forward to Machina Bristronica for the DivKid Discussion (on the DivKid stage!) I had the pleasure of sitting down for a conversation and demo of Dubby with Rasmus from Componental. Here's that discussion.
Dubby is currently live on Kickstarter at the time of publishing with around a week to go. If you'd like to support it (it's well over funding, so it's happening already) here it is // https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/..."
"Dubby is a powerful, standalone device designed to simplify the creative process and put you in full control of your sound - whether you're just starting out or you're an experienced musician. With no computer needed, just plug-and-play.
Perfect for singers, producers, instrumentalists, and modular synth enthusiasts alike, Dubby fits seamlessly into your workflow. Its intuitive, hands-on controls make it fun to explore new sounds, from quadraphonic effects to custom synths. Whether you're jamming at home, recording in the studio, or performing live, Dubby gives you the freedom to personalise your music-making experience, allowing you to map and control every parameter your way.
And with Dubby’s open platform, you can even customise both the hardware and software, unlocking endless possibilities for creativity and exploration.
Immediate Immersion and Flow: Dubby works out of the box and is set up to be a fun and engaging music device, either as an audio effect, synthesizer, or music tool.
Endless Possibilities: Upload new audio effects and synthesisers directly from the Dubby App Store, accessible through a web browser, making Dubby a versatile addition to any setup.
Tactile Interface: Designed with musicians in mind, Dubby features an intuitive hardware interface with select controls for seamless interaction during live performances or studio sessions.
Fully Stand-Alone Functionality: Dubby can run advanced real-time audio algorithms, freeing you from the computer. Take your favourite effects, synths, and tools out of the box!
Quadrophonic Sound: Experience immersive, high-fidelity audio with Dubby's quadrophonic capabilities.
Customisable and Programmable: Tailor Dubby to your specific needs by swapping side panels to your liking. Choose between faders, buttons, and expression / footswitch jacks. With programming in popular languages like Max/MSP Gen~, Pure Data (coming), and C++, you can modify existing algorithms or create entirely new ones."
he calls it: delayf**ker - Power Glitch - Sonic State Demo at Machina Bristonica
video upload by Componental
"The delayf**ker is a performance effect that pushes digital echo to its limits, with real-time manipulations getting ‘stuck’ in the feedback loop for dynamic sound-on-sound edits. It delivers rich, glitchy audio textures, ranging from Karplus-Strong and micro-looping to traditional echo and chorus. With control over delay time, feedback, and buffer freezing, you can experiment on the edge of stability for unique sonic outputs. Despite its experimental nature, it's highly versatile, offering sounds from subtle to chaotic, for live or studio use."
Early Bird Price: €456

1. Bristronica 24: MyVolts The Silent Alchemist Nears Shipping
We caught up with Caroline who gave us the latest update to the *Silent Alchemist*, a versatile power hub designed for musicians. Featuring five isolated USB-C outputs and a high-wattage sixth output capable of delivering 100 watts, the device can power a Mac with the remaining outputs providing 20 watts each. Its independent circuits ensure noise-free operation, catering to a variety of devices including the Dreadbox module and Sysmo slope generator.2. Bristronica 24: Circuit Happy ML2M Clock Sync module updates
The Silent Alchemist uses innovative step-up power tips to convert USB-C input to the correct voltage for various devices. There's also new feature: an uninterruptible power supply allowing seamless transition between wall and power bank sources. Also introduced were updated cables, such as silver candy cords and floating ring TRS to TS cables, expanding connection flexibility. The Silent Alchemist is expected to be available in December with a competitive pricing strategy.

At Bristronica 2024, we caught up with the creator of the *ML2M*, who introduced us to the latest version. The ML2M is a compact Eurorack module with Wi-Fi capabilities, allowing seamless synchronization with Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and iOS music apps using Ableton Link without the need for cables. It either connects to an existing network or creates its own, ensuring robust sync even in environments with unreliable Wi-Fi. The module, which retains its 2HP size, now features MIDI integration through TRS jacks. Users can access a web interface to configure each output for different clock divisions and reset triggers, making setup straightforward and flexible.3. Bristronica 24: Archaea Exchange Patching Module
Alongside the ML2M, there's also the Missing Link Junior. This desktop version offers the same functionality but in a box format, complete with MIDI and CV clock outputs. Both products are now accessible, with a starting price of $250.
At Machina Bristronica 2024, we caught up with Arran from @archaea_modular_synthesis who presented the *Exchange Module*. This programmable patcher, a year in the making, evolved from its early prototype stage to a fully functional module. Arran explained how the Exchange can route synth voices via a beam controller and three exchange modules installed within the skiff, allowing for versatile patching. Operating like a matrix patchbay, it enables users to select inputs and outputs with the push of a button, create presets, and chain multiple modules for synchronized patching.
Communication between the modules occurs over the Eurorack power bus as well as over MIDI via the USB-C connection. The Exchange maintains analog integrity, ensuring there’s no conversion latency. The forthcoming release expected in late November 2024, includes a USB-driven editor for enhanced control capabilities.
