Clever Mutating Melodic Patterns with Patience // PROTEUS from Seaside Modular (Generative Eurorack)

video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the fantastically musical, generative Eurorack pattern maker PROTEUS. It’s the first module from Seaside Modular and is an impressive melody maker with lots of controls to go from simple rhythmic riffs and hooks through to complex melodies. With unique parameters like sleep and patience Proteus offers lots of ways to make, store, recall and vary patterns. Proteus has been fun as a smart band mate (that doesn’t turn up late and hungover) and as the centrepiece and main element on a patch or in a more supporting role. Loads of patches, loads of music, ace!"



Check with dealers on the right for availability.

Priced at $325.00

"Proteus is an algorithmic sequencer with a short attention span.

Proteus creates a melody, then repeats that melody over and over again. Each time the melody is played, there’s some chance that Proteus will get bored and scrap the melody in favor of a brand new one. How fast it gets bored is up to you, and depends upon the PATIENCE parameter.

Proteus’s melodies aren’t simply random; they are generated by an algorithm designed to make sequences that are more humanlike and musical. You can save and recall melodies that you like using the Pattern Bank.

Play with Proteus to explore the balance between repetition and variation, to inspire you and accompany you in your own musical improvisations."

Glitchy High Speed Switch || Turbocharger by Hakai Labs

video upload by Robots Are Red

"Turbocharger is a 6hp high speed switch between two signals. By default one signal is 5v and the other is 0v. There is an internal oscillator to act as the switching clock. The oscillator also has PWM control. CV control over all parameters. And the 'Do Not Touch' knob... well you'll just have to watch to see it's glitchy goodness.

24:03 - Some Music

Special thanks to Hakai Labs for providing the module for this video."

"Turbocharger is finally here!

Turbocharger at its core, is just a simple super high-speed switch (not a VCA) between 2 inputs. This sounds boring, but the switch is run by a CMOS switch IC capable of switching at extremely high speeds. This, paired with its internal oscillator, with PWM controls, makes for some fun experimentation. The best part is you don’t even have to use the internal oscillator. There is an external clock input that you can patch in your own pulse wave to control the switch.

Turbocharger is an idea that I (Scott Danesi) have had for some time now. After watching a presentation by Jon Sonnenberg (artoftravelogue.blogspot.com) back in the day at one of the early Knobcon conventions in Chicago on Wave Replacement Synthesis, I thought, I could do that in one module but make it crazier. So, what started out as a simple “Turbo” gate for the NT Controller module, now turned into this monstrosity.

The front panel art was created by the talented Aurich Lawson.

Beat Friend Drum Machine Demo

video upload by audio.computer

"Beat Friend is a benevolent, semi-autonomous analogue drum machine. It wants to help."

"Beat Friend is the first offering from audio.computer, a UK-based duo making ‘benevolent, semi-autonomous music machines’. Beat Friend is an analogue drum machine, using circuits based on the ‘twin-t’s from the legendary Roland CR-78. Each drum has a slider that changes the drum’s complexity within one of the 30+ preset patterns, which already allows hundreds of variations on any given beat.

But wait! There’s more! Turning the Enthusiasm knob allows Beat Friend to add or subtract notes from the pattern as it sees fit, either keeping the pulse of the pattern or going completely off piste. It's like having an enthusiastic robot Labrador playing a 70's electronic drum kit just for you.

All the sounds are routed through a Triforce of digital and analogue effects, which...well, you just have to turn knobs to find out what they do. If you’ve ever wanted to base a track on a 7/8 samba through a bit-and sample crusher, then this is the unit for you.

And, sure, if you’re a control freak who absolutely must design every bar, you can control the drums individually via MIDI. It even includes a letterpress-printed manual, numbered to match your unit.

Beat Friend plays in glorious mono and is powered by a universal 12V power supply (included in the box)."

BlaknBlu Oscar Tria Stereo VCO Review

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"The triple featured Oscar Tria offers regular waveforms, swarming oscillations and polyphonic chord modes within a Eurorack, CV-controlled context. The stereo format offers some lovely detuning and there's some superb morphing between the waveforms. It's built on a digital platform but has a very analogue sound and workflow. Let's get into it."

Index:
Sound demo - 0:00
Intro - 4:57
Overview - 9:34
Green Mode - VCO - 12:29
Yellow Mode - Swarm - 24:32
Orange Mode - Chord - 33:45
FM - 42:16
Noodling - 46:27
Running it in Mono - 51:37
Conclusions - 56:42

"Oscar Tria packs a lot of VCO into 10HP. There are three main modes described below.

Green Mode:
A ‘traditional’ stereo oscillator. In Green Mode you get the usual three waveforms – saw, triangle and square (with variable pulse width, of course) but you can continuously vary the waveform between the three. For instance, by turning the waveform knob to be just to the saw side of triangle, you get a sound very much like the Minimoog’s ‘shark tooth’.
Green mode also gives you a square wave sub oscillator – one octave below the main oscillators – and a sub sub, two octaves below.
Oscar Tria is stereo, of course, so you can detune one oscillator for a rich stereo image – or sum the two outputs to mono and you have two oscillators with two subs, for a BIG sound.
Green mode also features through zero FM, and hard sync.

Yellow Mode:
Super-saw! And super-square! And super-triangle! With a sub (of course). Yellow mode allows you to control the number of oscillators making up the super-whatever, from one (not really super) to 24! Again, being stereo you get up to 12 oscillators in one channel and 12 in the other. Add the sub for a HUGE sound.

Orange Mode:
This is a chord engine, with 20 selectable chords. There are controls to select which chord you want and how many notes are played (over two octaves). CV control allows you to set pitch and chord independently, so you can set up a polyphonic sequence, for instance. Again, the output is stereo with detune control of one output."
