SOLAR 42N x HAPAX - Space Industrial Performance (w/ Breakdown) #berlinschool

video upload by Catenation aka Dissonant Witchcraft

"In this jam, the Squarp Hapax drives the Solar 42N into drones, rhythms, and cosmic textures. At the end of the video, you’ll find a breakdown of how the jam was made — including the sequencing approach on the Hapax, how the Solar 42N was patched, and the role of the Soft Memo.

If you enjoy experimental hardware jams, industrial electronics, and deep analog textures, this one is for you."

https://herbs---stones.com/soft-memo/"

Soft Memo is a hybrid stereo multi effects desktop unit with eight digital CV controlled FX programs, two analogue feedback paths and two complex voltage-controlled LFOs.

It has patch points to integrate external synthesisers and sequencers and it is designed to creatively reshape your sounds with a menu-free hands-on approach.

You can create patches by connecting inputs and outputs with eurorack-standard 1/8" jacks.

All its inputs are protected from potentially dangerous voltages.

It generates (and reacts to) control voltages in the 0-5V range: when a CV signal is patched into an input, its knob becomes an attenuator for the incoming signal.

The patch points are visually divided between inputs and outputs: the inputs are placed in the middle of a white circle while the outputs are not.

Soft Memo is powered by a 9V center-negative (500 mA) power supply, the standard PSU used with most guitar pedals.

Features:

Eight FX programs

A total of 25 patch points

Two high gain preamps

Two feedback paths made of analog VCAs and resonant analog VCFs


Two complex voltage controlled LFOs with clock division and phase offset control

An envelope follower

A→B buttons to set how the two channels controls interact with each other"

Herbs and Stones Seeds - mini noise synth

video upload by Herbs and Stones

"Seeds is a DIY noise synth that will be available to build at various workshops."

https://herbs---stones.com/seeds-work...

Seeds is a portable, battery-powered noise synth.

Its operation is based on the improper use of primitive CMOS digital technology: by forcing a linear output from an integrated circuit that operates using Boolean logic, by draining it of current and pushing its inputs to their limits, organic, unpredictable, and never-replicable sounds are achieved.

Seeds is an instrument with a vast array of sounds, designed for research and experimentation.

Technical Specifications:

Power: 4 AA batteries (included in the kit)
Output: Stereo TRS minijack

An Experimental Groove Box: Herbs And Stones Mousse

video upload by HAINBACH

"Herbs And Stones Mousse is a cool oddball groove box: it looks stylish, sounds rich and is fun to play. Mousse and me had quiet the journey together though, as I became an unintentional beta tester. I put various pre-production units through their paces until Herbs and Stones arrived at a solid production unit. In this video I show the process that started in November and ended just now at the end of March. Use the chapters to jump to sound demos, patching tips, and my final thoughts."

Herbs and Stones Three Stems - lo-fi beat

video upload by Herbs and Stones

"A lo-fi recording of a nanoloop beat gets the Three Stems treatment.

From subtle frequency boosting to total mayhem"

Herbs and Stones - Three Stems

video upload by Herbs and Stones

Watch your volume levels on this one.

"Three Stems is an analog multiband tone sculpting device.

After going through the input gain stage, the signal is split into three freely adjustable frequency bands, each of them is then fed into a two stage warm saturation and asymmetrical distortion circuit. A final mixing stage lets you control the presence of each band.

The circuit is designed to let the user go from suble and warm parametric eq-ing to painful amounts of high gain distortion, where each frequency band fights each other generating pseudo ring modulation and gating effects.

With Three Stems you can add resonant decaying tails to your drum beats, control the crispness and character of your drones, excite the harmonics of your field recordings... and so on."
