Seventh Summoner & Arp Of Darkness - Swarm Bending

"Playing around today with the Seventh Summoner and Arp Of Darkness in the small case. I like where this is headed so I thought I’d share.

Patch Notes: Clock is handled by Pam’s Pro Workout.

Voice 1 is sequenced by the Seventh Summoner and consists of the supersaw patch on Braids through the 2051 Bit Corrupter patch on the MFX and then into the delay patch on a Noise Engineering Desmodus Versio with the “MultiVersio” firmware flashed to it.

Voice 2 is a saw wave oscillator from the Disting MK4 processed through a Pittsburgh Modular low pass filter, and being sequenced by Sequence X on an Ornament & Crime module with the Phaserville Suite firmware running. The filter is being modulated by the Shredder applet on the Ornament & Crime.

Voice 3 is being arpeggiated by the Arp Of Darkness, and is made up of a swarm & detune patch on the Neutron Sound Dust of Time running through a ping pong delay on another Disting MK4 by Expert Sleepers. I’m hand modulating the swarm to detune the swarmed notes giving it that dissonant contrast and the release of bring things back to unity.

In-Case Drums are being handled by an Erica Synths Pico Drums module running through A low pass filter on another Disting MK4 and into Data Bender by Qu-Bit for glitching duties.

All outputs run through a Kombucha by WGD for delay send duties and then into a Befaco STMIX for mix down to an Intellijel Headphones output in the 1U row.

Additional drums provided by the K.O. II by Teenage Engineering running my own personal samples."

Arp Of Darkness With Seventh Summoner in a small case ‪@FileTransferProtocol‬

video upload by FlatSix Modular

"Playing around with the small case, today. Just wanted to showcase what could be done with an Arp of Darkness and a Seventh Summoner, side by side. Patch notes:

Pam’s Pro clocking everything. Seventh Summoner sequencing and real-time transposing a Braids (pluck program) running through Data Bender, and a MultiVersio on the LoFi program. A couple of Disting MK4’s are running the bass drone on one with an LFO on the other that is modulating a Pittsburgh Modular filter. That’s being sequenced by an Ornament & Crime running the Phaserville Suite. The Arp Of Darkness is arpeggiator a Dust Of Time (swarm program) and that’s running through a Busy Circuits MFX on the 2051 Bit Corrupter program and a stereo delay on another Disting MK4. Finally, there’s an Erica Synths Pico drum running some rhythmic duties and an EP-133 with the main drums off to the side."

FlatSix Seventh Summoner Review

"Seventh Summoner is a sequencer in a 1U module with a natty single octave keyboard. It can store 6 sequences, has various playback modes and can summon sequences in to a chain. Here's what it's all about.

Flat Six sent me the module for review but no maney changed hands and they have no say over the content of the video.

Arp Of Darkness Updated! Firmware 1.3.2 - New features, and front panel

video upload by FlatSix Modular

"The Arp Of Darkness continues to evolve with free firmware updates that add functionality and features. In this latest firmware update, it gets the ability to save the buffer sequence on the fly so you can automatically load it the next time you power on your system, or load it live during a performance.

This opens up the ability to create a musical phrase, save it, mutate and change the phrase over time, and then recall it, either immediately (Instant Load) or at the end of the current playing sequence (Cued Load).

This update also add the ability to clear the buffer allowing you to start rebuilding your buffer sequence manually anytime you want.

Finally, I'll discuss the new front panel for the Arp Of Darkness, and a free way to update it yourself if you are the DIY type.

Be sure to grab the new firmware and manual from https://www.flatsixmodular.com/firmware

'Arp Of Darkness'
Nocturne Alchemy Platform - Free Swappable Firmwares
The Arp Of Darkness is an arpeggiator with a unique twist: It's designed to create dynamic and evolving note sequences by utilizing a buffer approach similar to a Turing Machine or Shift Register.
Unlike traditional arpeggiators, which typically play chords as individual notes in a predefined pattern, this
module allows you to enter notes sequentially into a buffer of variable length, (from 3 up to 16 notes) and play it back using 6 playback modes more commonly found in arpeggiators. (Forward, Backward, Exclusive Pingpong, Inclusive Pingpong, Golden Ratio, and Random).
Height: 1U (Intellijel format)
Width: 26HP
Depth: 40mm ("Skiff-friendly")
4 octaves of control from C0 to C4
6 note buffer lengths (3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 16)
6 playback modes (Forward, Backward, Exclu Pingpong, Inclu Pingpong, Golden Ratio and Random) with cyclce select, direct select, (queued & immediate) and reset
Clock input and CV out calibrated to 1V/0
Calibration mode with tuning for each note across 4 octaves (Comes pre-calibrated)

"Introducing the Seventh Summoner - a 1U eurorack performance sequencer with a unique twist!" Flat 6 Seventh Summoner and Arp of Darkness Jam

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"Seventh Summoner is the third firmware from Flat 6 running their fabulous 1U keyboard module. This one is a sequencer with up to 32 steps, different play modes and the saving of up to 6 sequences. I've paired it with the Knob Technology ηCarinae, through the Replicant Filter and into Echo Cinematic. The ARP of Darkness, meanwhile, is playing the Castor & Pollux II through the Foxtrot Duo filter and into an Erica stereo delay.

That's it! I think I've found my sequencer combo for live performance."
