Sinevibes Introduces Cluster v3 multi-filter sequencer plugin

video uploads by Sinevibes

Cluster "v3 is a multi-filter sequencer plugin designed and developed by Sinevibes. Available for Mac, Windows and Linux. Product page: https://www.sinevibes.com/cluster/"

Cluster is a multi-filter sequencer. The core concept is simple at first – a filter with a modulation envelope – but every single parameter is sequenced in a rhythmical fashion, even the filter type itself. At the foundation of the sound engine is a set of six filters which can be selected from many models like multi-mode state variable, comb, phaser and resampler; also, each of those filters can be configured with up to 4 stages in series. Based on this setup, Cluster builds up a sequencer matrix with 7 parameter lanes: three for the filters (type, frequency, resonance), and four for its highly flexible envelope generator with over 50 possible modulation shapes. The sequencer matrix holds up to 8 patterns at once and is driven by an elastic step sequencer algorithm with both polymetric and polyrhythmic abilities, and an extremely wide range of timing settings. All of this is presented via a single-screen, color-coded user interface with dozens of utility functions for pattern manipulation – which makes Cluster an extremely easy-to-use and fun tool for creating pretty much any animated filter effects you can dream of… and way beyond.

A Magic Pulsewave Introduces the OBLIQUENCER

Update: New video:

OBLIQUE DUB JAM

video upload by A Magic Pulsewave

"OBLIQUENCER sequencing three+ synth voices in dubspace."




OBLIQUENCER is a melodic and rhythmic sequencer which uses basic pattern building blocks to create musical sequences. It outputs three channels of tuned analog control voltage, and three channels of analog gate signals. Unlike typical sequencers, the user does not enter sequences note-by-note. Instead, the user sets pattern behaviors and routes the resulting patterns internally to melodic and rhythmic parameters, thereby generating musical phrases or compositions. OBLIQUENCER is capable of creating traditionally musical sequences, as well as more unusual, asynchronous, and poly-rhythmic, patterns. OBLIQUENCER may even uncover for the user, a direct understanding of the mathematical nature of the melodic patterns humans emotionally enjoy. Two external inputs can be routed to clock, gate, or trigger any of the internal sub-modules. all internal patching and routing is achieved via pin matrices, with a total of more than 150 patch points. Tuning is entirely variable, and each control voltage output is capable of covering more than a 5 octave modulation range, at one volt per octave.

OBLIQUENCER comes with 40 patch pins and is housed in a handmade wooden enclosure.

OBLIQUENCER SUBMODULES:

(2) CLOCK LFOS- Create continuous square clock at user-defined rate.
(2) "DECADE RINGS" - 2 to 10 step gate sequencers
(2) "RIPPLE GATE SEQUENCERS" - clock dividers with the ability to mix each division /2 through /4096 into a gate signal.
(1) "RIPPLE MELODY SEQUENCER" - 3 bit CV pattern generator using mixed clock dividers to generate CV note pattern sequences. Continuously tunable 0-5V.
(1) MELODY BIT INVERSION MATRIX - Allows patching of other modules into the melody sequencer to alter or generate melodic patterns.
(2) "HARMONY REGISTERS" - Generate accompaniment automatically based on pattern data from the Ripple Melody Sequencer and trigger inputs. Each has independent CV tuning and output.
(3) GATE OUTPUT MATRICES - Allow routing of internal modules to trigger/gate external modules.
(2) EXTERNAL INPUTS - Gate/clock/trigger inputs to allow external control of the internal modules.
(1) AMP LINK - For connecting to AMP "Expandoor" and "Wave Expander" expansion modules. Outputs the three gate outputs, the three melody control bits, and the central clock signal on a network cable.

OBLIQUENCER SPECIFICATIONS:

DIMENSIONS: 10" X 10" X 2.5"
DC INPUT 15V DC 1A 2.1MM CENTER POSITIVE
GATE/CLOCK INPUTS: 3.5MM, 3.5 TO 12V PEAK 0 - 10,000HZ POSITIVE EDGE TRIGGERED
GATE OUTPUTS: 3.5MM 10.5V DC PEAK UNIPOLAR
CV OUTPUTS: 3.5MM 0 - 5V CONTINUOUS, UNIPOLAR
