New Division 6 Dual Mini Sequencer Kit


via Division 6

"This kit gives you two handy little sequencers behind one Eurorack panel. Why would you need more than one sequencer? Why would you need mini sequencers?

More sequencers = more steps
Use one for playing notes and the other for transposing those notes
Can be used as a clock divider
Run in parallel for multiple CVs / triggers
Each one gives you the standard CV and gate out, plus an ACC out (Accent? Accessory?) Use it to open up a filter, enable a glide, trigger a drum, or whatever you can think of.

The two sequencers will run completely independently, or you can daisy-chain them using the XP IN/OUT jacks to create sequences of any length.

Each sequencer has its own internal clock to get you up and running in a hurry, but you can connect an external clock if you need greater control of tempo or want to sync with other devices.

The module stores your latest sequence even when the power has been removed.

While this kit is designed to give you a Eurorack module, the PCB patterns for the jacks also have holes that will accept Johnson/Cinch-style banana jacks. There are also standoff holes on the main PCB, so you can mount them behind your own custom panel.

This module has lots of LEDs and is very shiny, but only two of them are ever on at a time which keeps it from loading down your power supply.

Bastl Kastle, Division 6 Business Card Sequencer, and Brussels Sprouts with Garlic


Published on Jan 20, 2017 Aidan Burns-Fulkerson

"A tasty jam made with the Bastl Kastle, accepting orders from the Division 6 Business Card Sequencer. These two make a great team! I apologize for the shaky camera work. It's tough to hold the camera and change patches.

The second course is roasted brussels sprouts with lots of garlic."

Dual Division 6 Business Card Sequencer & Barton BMC45 Router Eurorack Modules by Ninstrument


Two new custom modules via Ninstrument:

"Business Card sized Sequencer from Div 6. Here I took two of them and stacked them into a eurorack module. Realize when you buy the kit it is just ONE sequencer. I bought two for this custom build. This kit was very easy to build and dare I say the most ‘inexpensive sequencer you will find!’ Realize the custom euro panel I made for this was a very difficult task. There are 122 holes in this panel and was very challenging to make."

How cool is that? You might remember the DIY Division 6 business card sequencer from this post.


"BMC45 router from Barton. This is a fun straight forward build. Most of Barton’s eurorack DIY kits are very affordable and very well thought through and as a plus are very affordable. I added four custom mute buttons to this one as I thought that made a nice addition to live performance. The link to that kit is here."

New Synthrotek Octave Fuzz Eurorack Synth Module

Synthrotek Octave Fuzz Eurorack Synth Module Demo Video

Published on Nov 17, 2016 synthrotek


http://store.synthrotek.com/Synthrote...

"The Octave Fuzz is our take on the classic 70's SuperFuzz circuit, made into a Eurorack module. We've also improved on some aspects of the original as well, including an increased output.

-Two distinct voices like the original-switchable between scooped midrange, massive midrange bump.

-Agressive sounding. It will sound massive and in-your-face like no other circuit can. This is for sonic explorers and heavy music only. In short, it's not useful for EVERYTHING, but the things it DOES do it excels at. Sounds especially killer for keyboard and bass sounds.

Features:

- Scoop switch for a 'scooped' mirange, or to have a midrange boost.

- CV input over the Expander part of the circuit (similar to gain)

- True wet/dry mix.

- 6hp

- 35mm (1 3/8") Deep

Current Draw:

24mA @ -12v

32mA @ +12v

0mA @ +5v"

Division 6 Business Card Sequencer meets the Korg Monotron


Published on Oct 11, 2016 Aidan Burns-Fulkerson

"A simple CV sequencer connected to a simple ribbon synth, modified to accept CV and gate signals. This is a preliminary trial to test functionality. In the future I'll be working on getting the CV octaves to match for better tuning."

Division 6 Business Card Sequencer


via Division 6.

How cool is that? A business card that is actually functional. I love it when manufactures do this. Analogue Solutions had a circuit board business card as well. If you know of others, feel free to leave a comment.

Details, including how to get your own, via Division 6:

"Boards for this fun little sequencer, which can also be used as a tiny keyboard, were handed out to everybody who attended Knobcon 2016. If you're wondering what to do with your board, or want to get one of your very own, you've come to the right place.

Connections, From Left to Right

Power In: 7-15VDC, tip positive (Don't reverse it or it will get mad). Just find a voltage source on your synth somewhere. If the notes being played by the sequencer seem flat, the power supply you have chosen may be dropping too much under load. If you can't or don't want to use your synth to power the sequencer, you can use a 9V Battery or AC power supply.
Clock In: 0-5V is ideal, but going outside that range won't hurt it. Step will advance on rising edge.

CV Out: 1 volt/octave, C=1V/2V/3V. Connect to the CV in on your oscillator (or filter or whatever)

Gate Out: On=+5V. Plug this into your VCA, EG, etc. Gate timing follows the clock when the sequencer is running, buttons when in Ready mode, and stays on while programming.



Operation

Push Run to start playing a sequence. The true green Run LED will light to tell you that you are in Run mode. Push it again to Pause. The sequencer steps can be programmed while paused.

Push reset to stop the sequence, go to step 1, and enter Ready mode. The blue step LED will blink to let you know that you are in Ready mode. This means that when you press Run again, the sequencer will play step 1 on the next clock pulse instead of skipping it and going to step 2.

Knobcon 5 Synthrotek ASTRONOISE Eurorack or Console DIY workshop


Published on Aug 23, 2016 synthrotek

http://store.synthrotek.com/AstroNois...

"Knobcon 2016 bonus! The AstroNoise at KC can be built as a Eurorack module OR as a standalone circuit that you can wire into a case later. In the past it has just been a standalone circuit, but the lofi wizards of Synthrotek have modded the board to fit in a 10HP DIY Blank Panel. All kits will come with the parts needed for both the standalone circuit or Eurorack mod, no extra charge. The PCB will be cut ahead of time as needed for the mod, and the DIY Panel will be pre-drilled. The jacks provided will be 3.5mm.

The workshop will be taught by Scott Rise of Division 6 fame. Soldering irons, solder, and other necessary tools will be provided. You can check out the assembly instructions ahead of time here (the Eurorack mod is at the bottom of the page).

This circuit requires a medium-ish skill level. Have you soldered something successfully before? Then you're good to go.

Please purchase this workshop ahead of time so we know how many kits to bring!"

Skyclops


Published on Jun 22, 2016 John L Rice

"I missed the Solstice 'Strawberry' Moon because we had a thunderstorm but the following night's Moon was still pretty good.

'The ancient and massive Skyclops was once a peaceful being, drifting through the night, observing all below with the Moon as it's single great eye. But demons embedded themselves in Skyclops to control its power for their own malevolent dreams of spreading terror and grief to those who slumber. Look closely and you may see other creatures roaming it surface or damage from vain attempts to destroy it . . . or even an alien craft lurking the depths of its eye.'"

Merry SYNTHMAS and Happy Holidays to All from MATRIXSYNTH!!!


Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you are all having a great holiday season. One thing we all have in common of course are our synths!

As has become tradition here on MATRIXSYNTH, I like to share a few festive pics of some gear I picked up throughout the year. This year was a bit low key, but I did manage to score a super nice Moog Sub Phatty, a much needed iConnectivity iConnectAUDIO4+, and a Division 6 VM, along with some goodies from The Bob Moog Foundation. Not pictured is a synthesizers.com modular puzzle currently waiting under the tree for my daughter. :)

As always, today should be a pretty relaxing day on the site as I spend time with my family. I will be off and on throughout the day posting holiday themed items that come in, so do check back.

I want thank all of the readers who enjoy MATRIXSYNTH and make running the site more than worthwhile! I run MATRIXSYNTH solely for my love of synths, and it is more than rewarding knowing that others out there appreciate it.

I want to send a special shout out to all of the sponsors featured above and on the right of the site for all of their support, and I want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to all my Patreon supporters that signed up to directly support MATRIXSYNTH. You all make running this site possible!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

cheers,
matrix

Update: added a pic of synthesizers.com puzzle, along with another surprise under the tree - a cool nanoblock keyboard! There were a few extra pieces so I added a few knobs. :)

Be sure to check out the holidays channel for more!
