"This is an edit (by Edgar Lopez - Thanks Edgar) of the composition livestream I did (I try to do them daily) centered around the Synhux Academy Simple Touch 2 synthesizers I was given by the brand at Superbooth 2024. It's the first in this new format where I focus certain livestreams on composing with a particular instrument and then turn that stream into a review or tutorial. Hope you like it!"

Eurorack: Building The Ultimate Vibe Machine

video upload by Soundology

"Vintage, analog, tape, and character galore, this is my latest eurorack system with a breakdown and of all the individual modules with sound demos. I also go into my reasoning behind them and how I made a system where the total is greater than the sum of the parts.

I was fully intending on getting out of eurorack upon the realization that nothing I had built up until that point really compared with my favorite semi modulars, the Moog Matriarch and the Korg MS-20. I had also tried to make grooveboxes, but nothing compared to my Digitakt. But after selling almost all of my excessively huge collection of modules and synths, I thought I'd give it one last ditch effort..."

Introducing Qu-Bit Aurora: Spectral Reverb

video upload by Qu - Bit



"It's a reverb. Well...kind of.
Welcome to Aurora, a spectral reverb capable of a wide palette of sounds: from icy shimmers and whale songs, to alien textures and sounds you’ve never heard before. And likely, will invoke a hunger for exploration you felt when you first touched a modular synthesizer.

Whether you’re creating beautiful time-stretched tails, or cybernetic metallic effects, Aurora gives you control over how far from reality you want to be. By blurring these signals we can achieve cavernous reverberations and spectral artifacts.

Since Aurora’s sonorous response is entirely dependent on the input signal, no two patches will sound alike, lending itself to an infinite world of surprise and discovery.

Discovery. It’s why we are all here."

See the dealers on the right for availability. You can find additional posts featuring Aurora here.



Update: New pics added.

Welcome to Aurora, a spectral reverb capable of a wide palette of sounds: from lush caverns and whale songs, to alien textures you've never created before. And likely, will invoke a hunger for exploration you felt when you first touched a modular synth.

Aurora uses a phase vocoder audio engine which separates the input signal's time and pitch domains. By blurring these signals you can achieve beautiful time-stretched tails, or cybernetic metallic effects.

Since Aurora’s sonic response is entirely dependent on the input signal, no two patches will sound alike, lending itself to an infinite world of surprise and discovery.

Discovery. It’s why we are all here.

A portion of all Aurora proceeds will help the fight against shrinking ice caps and dwindling polar bear populations.

Electrosmith Introduces the Daisy Patch Submodule DSP Platform for Eurorack

Press release follows:

Music tech innovators Electrosmith have announced a new DSP platform which promises to reshape the Eurorack landscape with powerful, high fidelity audio products called the Daisy Patch Submodule.

The Daisy Patch Submodule builds upon the successful Daisy Kickstarter campaign with a new dev board specifically catered to the creation of Eurorack modules.

MSRP: $39.95

The Daisy Patch Submodule is a DSP platform for Eurorack synthesizer modules. It features a lightning fast STM32 processor, high fidelity stereo audio codec, and enough RAM for 10 minute long buffers - all with standard signal levels and conditioning for the Eurorack ecosystem. Simply design your carrier board, and let the Patch Submodule do the rest!

Create your dream Eurorack module with the Daisy Patch SM!

Tech Specs:

- STM32 processor at 480MHz, 96kHz / 24-bit audio, RAM for up to 10 minute audio buffers

- Stereo audio IO, x12 ADC inputs ( 16-bit bipolar CV or potentiometer), x2 CV outputs (12-bit), x2 gate inputs, x2 gate outputs, x12 GPIO

- Flash firmware over USB via open source web programmer

- Support for SDDMC, SPI, UART, I2C, and USB

- FCC / CE Tested and Compliant

Getting Started Hardware:

Get started with the Daisy Patch Submodule quickly with their dedicated Eurorack interface, the patch.Init(). The patch.Init() is a 10HP Eurorack module that breaks out all of the Daisy Patch Submodule pins to jacks, pots, switches, and LEDs.

patch.Init() Product Page

Discover more at https://electro-smith.com



The patch.Init() is our exploratory modular interface for the Daisy Patch Submodule. Open-source both in hardware and firmware, the patch.Init() is the perfect jumping off point for your next modular DSP project. From ethereal reverbs, glitchy processors, comprehensive samplers, and complex oscillators, the patch.Init() can be any module you need it to be. Looking to create your own commercial module? Our front panel design is completely open-source (MIT). Just create your interface, add the Patch Submodule to the back, and you are off to the races with industry leading specs in an accessible, affordable package.

The patch.Init() comes with x1 Daisy Patch Submodule.

"First, let me thank Martin Peters for teaching me the dotted eight note delay trick for Berlin School delay. See link below. Martin is one of the worldwide masters of Berlin School today.

The Z506 Swiss Daisy DSP is a module based on the https://www.electro-smith.com/ Daisy board, with a microprocessor and high fidelity audio I/O. The Z506 is available in MU/Dotcom format from https://www.noisebug.net/. It is available in both Eurorack and MU formats."

Polyphonic synthesizer, first steps with DaisySeed (DIY MIDI module based on STM32, no arduino yet)

It's an embedded platform using the STM32 as a microcontroller including DAC, external RAM etc. To get a first impression I've created a little polyphonic synthesizer project using the Open Source DSP Library (DaisySP). In addition to that some voice processing etc. was required to get the synth working. At the moment I do not have a direct comparison to the ESP32. It is compatible with arduino but you can also just program with your C++ editor. The STM32 board library has been updated in arduino recently and caused compiling issues. Now I just worked with a makefile based project to get it running. I think soon an arduino implementation would be also possible. Finally the sources are basically the same (arduino does just the multi file compilation magic) References: https://www.electro-smith.com/daisy/d... https://github.com/electro-smith/Dais... https://github.com/electro-smith/DaisySP https://github.com/electro-smith/libD..."
