700 System + Auratie: Now a Soundscape Generator

video upload by Gm Xe

"This is a fascinating setup: using Landscape and Evicshen as a resonator for the guitar, feeding the signal into Auratie via the 208, and modulating it with Auratie’s new self-feedback feature. The 700 sends out a low-frequency sound field, which is then AB-morphed using the 208’s LFO.

Put on your headphones and enjoy — hope you like it!"

Landscape Noon 1 Year Review

video upload by Bata

"It's been a little over a year of using the Landscape Fm Noon so I figured I would do a review video. There ends up being not that much reviewing done. I just show how I've been using it lately. It's very hard to remember what does what on this thing. Overall I rate the Noon at like a 1/10 or 8/10 depending on what type of synthesist you are. If the parameters for each channel were able to be CV controlled I would rate it a 9/10. It's very fun but challenging and frustrating at times. I view it as equal parts puzzle, game, and instrument. The passive nature of the machine means that you either need to use a lot of mixer/audio interface channels for the separate outs or deal with the signal robbing and channel bleed that comes with the passive mixing to main outs on the unit. As for the price of the unit I think it's somewhat overpriced as you end up needing a lot of other gear to fully use the thing. You can use it with just a 9V battery or basic CV sequencer but it really shines when used with a considerable amount of other equipment. I wouldn't recommend this to synth beginners or people who are sensitive to abrasive sounds but someone with an open mind for electronic experimentation might find it very fulfilling. Thanks for reading/watching!

ANA 2 Patch Example: Macro Controller

video upload by Mystic Circuits

"This is by far the easiest patch that you can make with your ANA 2 but it is deceptively powerful. With no inputs you can still use the knobs on ANA to send a static voltage into the analog logic circuits. This creates 9 correlated output voltages that are perfect for controlling other modules with lots of CV inputs. Here we have one ANA controlling our landscape NOON and a second ANA controlling a Mutable Instruments Beads ~ 3DVCA combo. Check out our website for more info or to order - we will have a handful of black panel units available on Black Friday!"

1. Bristronica 24: MyVolts The Silent Alchemist Nears Shipping

We caught up with Caroline who gave us the latest update to the *Silent Alchemist*, a versatile power hub designed for musicians. Featuring five isolated USB-C outputs and a high-wattage sixth output capable of delivering 100 watts, the device can power a Mac with the remaining outputs providing 20 watts each. Its independent circuits ensure noise-free operation, catering to a variety of devices including the Dreadbox module and Sysmo slope generator.

The Silent Alchemist uses innovative step-up power tips to convert USB-C input to the correct voltage for various devices. There's also new feature: an uninterruptible power supply allowing seamless transition between wall and power bank sources. Also introduced were updated cables, such as silver candy cords and floating ring TRS to TS cables, expanding connection flexibility. The Silent Alchemist is expected to be available in December with a competitive pricing strategy.

2. Bristronica 24: Circuit Happy ML2M Clock Sync module updates

At Bristronica 2024, we caught up with the creator of the *ML2M*, who introduced us to the latest version. The ML2M is a compact Eurorack module with Wi-Fi capabilities, allowing seamless synchronization with Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and iOS music apps using Ableton Link without the need for cables. It either connects to an existing network or creates its own, ensuring robust sync even in environments with unreliable Wi-Fi. The module, which retains its 2HP size, now features MIDI integration through TRS jacks. Users can access a web interface to configure each output for different clock divisions and reset triggers, making setup straightforward and flexible.

Alongside the ML2M, there's also the Missing Link Junior. This desktop version offers the same functionality but in a box format, complete with MIDI and CV clock outputs. Both products are now accessible, with a starting price of $250.

3. Bristronica 24: Archaea Exchange Patching Module

At Machina Bristronica 2024, we caught up with Arran from ‪@archaea_modular_synthesis‬ who presented the *Exchange Module*. This programmable patcher, a year in the making, evolved from its early prototype stage to a fully functional module. Arran explained how the Exchange can route synth voices via a beam controller and three exchange modules installed within the skiff, allowing for versatile patching. Operating like a matrix patchbay, it enables users to select inputs and outputs with the push of a button, create presets, and chain multiple modules for synchronized patching.

Communication between the modules occurs over the Eurorack power bus as well as over MIDI via the USB-C connection. The Exchange maintains analog integrity, ensuring there’s no conversion latency. The forthcoming release expected in late November 2024, includes a USB-driven editor for enhanced control capabilities.

Landscape w/ Evicshen Introduces FERROUS - Handheld Spinning Magnetic String Resonator

video upload by Perfect Circuit

Superbooth video from Perfect Circuit

via Landscape

"Spinning Magnetic String Resonator ↈ Collaboration with Evicshen

Made to resonate steel stringed instruments. Ferrous’ spinning disc contains six strong earth magnets. Adjusting the rotational speed of the disc will change which strings are most affected and their harmonic content. If the disc is spinning slowly lower strings resonate; if the disc is spinning quickly higher strings will resonate louder. The results can sound like an unknown instrument in a reverberated physical space, floating sine wave tones, or feedback. Fluctuation of rotation speed by using the thumbwheel, rev button, touch-plate or control voltage input can create a soft strumming effect across multiple strings or shifts in harmonic content. New harmonics and overtones can emerge from both lower and higher strings as the disc spins faster. The distance at which Ferrous is held from strings affects how strongly they will resonate and their harmonics. If Ferrous is placed near guitar pickups you will hear the heavy sounds of the magnets and the motor with the resulting pitch based upon the disc’s RPM."

"This jam is a little weird. My phone was on low battery which made the video slightly glitchy. I was a bit distracted during this recording so it's maybe a bit more boring than usual. There is also a couple mysterious audio drop outs near the end of the video. I didn't notice these prior to uploading so it's possible something went wrong when combining the audio and video files or something.

Landscape Noon - Dual

"Using a Make Noise 0-CTRL to sequence/modulate channel 2 (Dual) on the Landscape Noon.

This is a patch for 1 voice on the Landscape Noon. Some other voices might be influencing the sound due to how the Noon works but no CV/Gates are going to the other channels except through the mod inputs (which go to all channels)."

Flower feedback using the Stereo Field

video upload by Landscape

"Using the Stereo Field feedback instrument/processor/controller with a flower in place of human skin. The shape of the flower allows for different feedback paths within the instrument providing different results based upon where the flower is touching and how much the petals are making contact. Different flowers will provide different results. You could even process external audio through the flower itself."

TR-606 ✺ into touchable stereo feedback ✺✺


"By patching a mono input into the rear of the Stereo Field while patching across the interface you can turn a mono signal into stereo feedback. Both audio and voltage will be routed through your skin when touching the interface creating many audio responsive feedback paths. The response changes based upon your skin's moisture content, where you decide to touch and how much skin is touching the interface."

NOON passive drum/synth @ 144bpm

video upload by Landscape

"Here’s Noon receiving 144bpm gates to a few different channels. This was edited down from a 12min take but the voltages and pattern coming out of the Beat Step Pro (powering Noon) stayed the same. The changes in movement/rhythm are the result of interactions between different channels and muting/unmuting incoming pitch CV for modulation. The design of Noon is focused on interaction between channels to create unexpected results that are derived from your original rhythmic intention. #synth #electronicmusic #producer #composer #sounddesign"
