BLIPPOO BOX LEGACY - DRONE SELF-PATCH

video upload by biyiblip

"The Blippoo Box Legacy creates
deep drone textures
with a simple self-patch.

The instrument is patched back into itself,
allowing the sound to react, evolve
and slowly transform from within.

Originally designed by Rob Hordijk, the Blippoo Box is a living instrument of interaction, instability, resonance and discovery.

The Blippoo Box Legacy Eurorack is not an imitation, not a replica and not a copy.

It is the continuation of Rob Hordijk’s official legacy through Biyiblip.

This standalone design springs from my Quadrature Sine and its Frequency Shifter Expander modular designs – all wrapped up with circuitry & features to allow it to fit snugly into more regular studio processing roles.It will transform your audio streams in otherworldly ways – clangorous, tonal, phased, stereofication and swoosh.

BugBrand Introduces TCS - Touch Control Sequencer

via BugBrand (For those in the US: check on availability with Noisebug per below)

"The 5FW design stems from ideas I used way back in the Old Blue days when I had the CTL1 Touch Panel - that design went through a few iterations during its 4 years of life, moving from just a control/preset device to incorporating some basic sequencing. Now I have taken it several steps further - expanding it out to 8 steps and increasing the control & sequencing options. The result is a powerful little hands-on sequencing hub! It can link up with other clocking devices, especially the Sequence - indeed, I'm just beginning to investigate a joiner/expander for the pair that would allow the Control link to be easily switched on/off and also incorporate a handful of other useful functions.

In the meantime, the first modules are starting to ship - they can either fit in a larger system or sit in a 5FW case - perhaps an interesting addition to other banana systems!

US shipping & Tariffs:
There has been a fair bit of uncertainty because of new tariffs on shipments into the US (10% from UK vs 20% or more from most other places), alongside the ending of the De Minimis exemption for shipments under $800. Given that I send a fair amount to people in the States, these changes have proved worrying!

Thankfully I've been able to jiggle things around and have found that I can still send things easily & affordably - indeed, often including pre-payment of tariffs while not raising the overall shipping cost, and sticking with Royal Mail who have proved so reliable over many years of use.

Noisebug:
But, alongside these changes, I'm rekindling my prior work with the wonderful Noisebug store of Pomona, California. Just today I've sent a reasonable initial load - a couple of 1Frame systems, several mini-systems and a handful of red designs.

As you know, I've tended to work directly with people worldwide, but have kept in with a very few small & specific stores - Noisebug really fit the bill here for me! So if you've got requests, feel free to get in contact with them - or continue to nudge me direct ;)"

The then new Phase standalone box and Phaser module were out on show so we had a listen and chat about them but spoke more generally about who and what BugBrand is, how Tom works and the development of the equipment he builds."
