Synth Explosion Italy Event Pics



Some pics in via Tony Light of https://www.leploop.org

The following is via Milano Modulare where you'll find additional pics.

"A fantastic Sunday yesterday at Synth Explosion at Trattoria San Biagio !
Thanks to all the people involved, to the friends of NONO Modular , LepLoop and 51beats for being a lively and creative part of our community and thanks to Jolin for your continued collaboration! Here, as always, some photos from the event!"

Don't miss the STELLARIA pictured below. According to Jolin, it's: "a synthetic flower made of sensors and electronic components. Its petals are light / temperature / pressure / moisture and wind sensitive. The sound generated is then processed into a modular synthesizer to create an interactive performance."

Jolin Lab SINGOLI / 7 input DC coupled utility mixer / expander / explanation and demo


video upload by BRiES

"SINGOLI by Jolin is a DC coupled mixer - which means it's suited to mix things like lfos, envelopes, etc. You can just as well use it for mixing down audio and when connected to the performance mixer TUTTO&SEMPRE it can act as a 7 input mono expander for that module.

SINGOLI has one special trick up its sleeve: the T or transient output. This output generates a short gate or trigger whenever the master output (O) on SINGOLI crosses a certain threshold. I've found this threshold to be around 2.5V. This output can for example be used the make a clock or trigger pattern from lfos or audio sources for envelopes, drums, ... or to trigger other events on your system."

Jolin TUTTO & SEMPRE / versatile 4 channel stereo mixer with patchbay / explanation and demo


video upload by BRiES

"In this video I take a look at the extensive and unique features on TUTTO & SEMPRE, an interesting stereo mixer by Jolin. It's really useful to have a patchbay (extra intputs and outputs where you can 'insert' modules) and built-in VCAs are always a big plus on any module, especially on a mixer. 1 Aux input, 2 headphone outputs with seperate cue inputs, ... there's a lot going on in this mixer.

0:00 intro
1:02 sound snippets
1:55 explanation
6:42 exploration
20:36 patch examples"



via Jolin

"TUTTO&SEMPRE is a stereo performance mixer with 4 channel strips, an active patchbay, individual VCAs, clickless mutes, individual post attenuation direct outs, a main balanced stereo output and two high fidelity headphones drivers with switchable stereo inserts.

The module consists of two main blocks:

Mixing frame

I - 4 pairs of actively normalled inputs with input LED meters.

↑ - Patchbay out – a cable here interrupts the signal flow.

↓ - Patchbay insert to get back to the mix.

V - Control voltage input for the VCAs.

Audio graded logarithmic stereo potentiometers.

Paired clickless mute toggle.

O - Individual output post attenuators.

Output stage

The main level knob regulates the volume of the three outputs: L and R are balanced line level signals while S is a combined stereo output designed to be fed into external 3.5mm interfaces.

A stand for auxiliary inputs: signals fed here will bypass the first mixing block.

The main mix continues to flow to the two headphones amplifiers. Each one of them can easily power up to 600 ohms drivers with low noise and high-fidelity performance. A stereo aux input can be fed into each one of the phones sections with a switch that allows isolated preview listening and routing to the main mix – this makes the module able to manage up to 7 stereo signals at the same time."

Jolin KNOBI / macro controller / mix attenuate invert amplify voltages / extensive playthrough


video upload by BRiES

"KNOBI by Jolin is a unique take on a utilitarian staple of eurorack systems: attenuverting and mixing. At first glance KNOBI is not so complex, but try using it without reading the manual and you might be somewhat confused. Once you understand the signal flow it all makes a lot of sense though... and I'm here to help.

In this video I shed some light on the leftfield macro controller that is KNOBI and I share a few in-depth patch ideas to hopefully spark your creative plug. Since there's always a fitting place for attenuation in almost all situations figuring out how to implement KNOBI in patches comes down to your imagination. I demonstrate how I use it to open and close a filter, how I use it as a macro controller for a complete patch and how to use the seemingly random 'x2-5V' setting to create a side-chain compressor patch without the hassle of manual offsets."

0:00 intro
2:43 explanation
22:20 patch idea 1 pushbutton
28:05 patch idea 2 control a patch
45:43 patch idea 3 side-chain compressor



via Jolin

"KNOBI is a multi-tool able to mix, attenuate, invert, display and multiply any kind of signal.

Knobi can serve a wide range of purposes thanks to its internal signal path that makes use of some of the most useful building blocks of analog synthesis: a 4-channel mixer, a three-range offset, an attenuverter, a fixed manual gate and lastly a cascading multiple derived from the output stage of Agogô.

a, b, c and d are Knobi’s inputs while r is a fixed 5v reference output. The toggle switch next to d sets the range of the attenuator/offset. Connect a signal into one of the inputs to visualize its voltage value in the three digits meter. Keep in mind that this reading happens post attenuator/offset and attenuverter – the smaller knob with (-) and (+) indications.

The pushbutton next to x4 adds a gate of 5v to the mix: with no input connected it will act as a manual gate output. Autopatch the r reference output into one of the inputs to use Knobi as a macro controller thanks the attenuator/offset knob and switch to set the range and the attenuverter.

x1, x2, x3 and x4 are all cascading copies of the final signal path. Plugging a cable will break the normalization and the multiplication will reset starting from the next output. Four cables plugged in will output a copy at the same factor x1 - unity gain – making Knobi a versatile buffered multiple."

Features

Thermally compensated 5v voltage source with dedicated output.

Four channel mixer with four buffered output.

Built in 3 digits voltage meter post mix / attenuation / inversion.

Attenuator/offset with a dedicated three positions range toggle.

Manual gate button tied to the mix.

4 cascading outputs in an open design configuration.

Unique signal path: mix – attenuate – invert – add – visualize – multiplicate.

“Whatever” power connector a.k.a. don’t mind the polarity.

Modular Day Barcelona 2023 after party - HRTL

video upload by Befacosynth

"There are few in the Czech electronic music culture with a background as storied as HRTL, the performing alias of Prague-based synthesiser musician Leoš Hort. Iconically performing from the centre of the dancefloor, HRTL is a force of the wildest nature on his instruments of choice, a carefully curated setup of modular synthesisers and tabletop instruments. Infamously electrifying and always improvised, each of his live club performances is quite literally one-of-a-kind; generative breakbeat rhythms meet with liquefying acid, and synths sliced from the utmost peaks of euphoria."

Jolin Tech Tabor | Quad Avalanche Oscillator


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"This is the archetype of an exotic module. It looks amazing, but it sounds eh... - different - and you may need to be creative to make it sound cool in a patch. I am not sure I succeeded and if it's a keeper. You could find one on a fair or used gear website, so it's always good to have a rough idea of what you're about to buy. It will be love at first audit for noise music, It will serve you well in sound design and maybe even industrial music, but it may be a bit too experimental."

Superbooth 2023: Jolin Labs - New Modules


video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Federico from Jolin Labs at Superbooth 2023, who introduced us to their new mixing utility features. The first module is called Ascolta, which is a dual preamp with an input, output, envelope follower, and Peak out output for each channel. The channels can be chained on the back with a header, and you can have an L and R from the output. The next module is Knobi, which can take up to four inputs that are mixed and flow into an attenuator controlled by a big knob. The signal flows into an inverter, which is especially useful since Knobby is AC-coupled, so you can mix audio and CV signals.

The next two modules are paired together but can be used standalone. TuttoandSempre is a performance mixer with four stereo inputs, a stereo sender with an active patch bay, individual VCA, and a balanced mono output L&R, and a combined stereo signal. Finally, Singoli is a seven-channel mono mixer that directly connects to TuttoandSempre through a cable on the back of the module but can be used as a standalone unit since it has its own output.

Ascolta Dual Preamp Follower Price: 149 Euros

Knobi Complex Voltage Mangler Price: 189 Euros

TuttoandSempre Endgame Mixer Price: 489 Euros

Singoli Combining Transient Detector Price: 169 Euros"

Jolin Lab GOBLET / eccentric LP and BP filter / sweeps and sounds


video upload by BRiES

"In this video I run a basic saw wave (from Even VCO) through GOBLET, a filtermodule by Jolin Lab. After a few sweeps I add some modulation to the parameters and introduce the button and the different touch plates. It's hard to predict what's it going to sound like, so it's best to experiment with different settings and sounds. GOBLET is by no means a standard lp/bp filter and I'm pretty sure that's 100% intentional.

PS: I noticed that the video/audio is slightly out of sync - my sincere apologies for this.

GOBLET webpage: https://jolin.tech/modules/goblet"



GOBLET is an analog filter and distortion unit with some added quirks and extra controls.

Features

Unique analog two pole circuit with custom optocouplers fed directly in the feedback path.

Two step controls and individual CV inputs on frequency and resonance for precise sound sculpting.

Dedicated potentiometer for the total amount of feedback.

A performance-oriented momentary switch for extra distortion.

Two expressive touch points to make your body interact with the circuit.

Rhythmically oriented accent CV input.

Two outputs – a smoother LP and an aggressive notch.

Works with audio and CV sources.

Single board design – extremely skiff friendly.

Eurorack low pass gates - session 5 (ish)


video upload by John Schussler

Note this is the first post to feature BeepBoop.

"I can't stop collecting low pass gates. There's GAS, and then there's LPG GAS. Don't know what the deal is there.

Here's the latest batch. Most of them are small and passive, but some are bigger and powered and covered in knobs and sliders and stuff. So it's really a sound comparison, not a full module comparison.

Sound source: Befaco Pony square wave. Sequencer: Stochastic IG.
No envelopes, just gates out of the SIG.

BLOOM / Klavis TWO BITS / Metabolic Devices MOONWALKER / Jolin AGOGO / eurorack jam


video upload by BRiES

"I'm really loving the sound of the LPGs in Agogo. It gives the sound some bite without being full on saturated. Even with tame sounds it can really bring some life to the timbre...

Two Bits is used to add triggers (OR) together for the kicks and snare. I used a steady pattern for both of them, and then added a probability gate to the second intputs. Very convenient for adding variation to drums without too much programming.

Moonwalker is doing the 'sync' lead type sound (the module is off screen but you can see its output on the scope. I'm also still trying to find a reverb setting that I really like. This one is... almost there."

BLISTERED / 4 voice eurorack chords / stereo panning with Jolin ASHIKO / jam


video upload by BRiES

"In this patch I created 4 note chords with 4 VCOs. I routed all of them through Ashiko which is 'auto panning' the VCOs so I end up with 4 stereo pairs that's I routed through Cosmix Pro and then through a pair of stereo modulated filters for even more movement.
The VCOs I used are 2 x Generate 3, Even VCO and Moonwalker. The arp sounds are Filter 8 through 2 channels of Agogo. It's not a very complex patch but with routings like this it's important to tune the VCOs before doing anything else."

Jolin / GITGUD / GETREKT / GOBLET / AGOGO / ASHIKO / first patch


video upload by BRiES

"In this first patch I'm running a saw wave into these eurorack modules by Jolin. Modulation, filtering, distortion, panning, routing and attenuation is taken care of by this unique bunch. Awesome.

DISCLAIMER: Federico from Jolin sent me these modules to learn and to demonstrate that destruction is not the only thing they bring to a system... (even though this particular first patch is perhaps rather distorted)."
