Home (Full Album Performance) - Music for a productive day

video upload by Jay Hosking

https://jayhosking.bandcamp.com/album...

"A live, semi-improvised ambient IDM album performed entirely on one small eurorack hardware skiff. This is music deliberately created to listen to while you are working away at the rest of your life, i.e. not-so-lofi-beats to study to. But I've also written some notes and recorded the performance because that's what I personally enjoy; I hope it can be useful to see how the music was made for you.

Eurorack jam featuring Metropolix, Manis Iteritas, Prok Drums, Zen Delay, and electric guitar

video upload by

"A live, semi-improvised modular performance performed entirely on hardware, with one guitar overdub.

This jam started with a simple exploration of the Intellijel Metropolix, a neat sequencer that helps you stumble into inspiration, along with two voices (the Noise Engineering Manis Iteritas and the Acid Rain Chainsaw). My ambitions were no more than "play guitar with eurorack". But as the song found itself, and more and more was added to the table, it became clear I'd have to add guitar after the the fact.

A big highlight here is the Prok Drum modules being sequenced by the Mutable Instruments Grids. Not only is Grids fast and inspiring, but its modulation allows you to add performability (like the snare rolls I add via a touch pad here) and variety (through its chaos and frequency controls). Special thanks to Michael, a good human and also a member of my Patreon community, for allowing me to commission him to build the Prok modules! You're the best, Michael.

And of course, the Erica Synths Zen Delay works its magic again. Here, it runs everywhere from flanger to filter to gonzo delay, and I just love what it adds to a jam.

The patches would take a very long time to explain, but here are the modules:

Voices:
- Noise Engineering Manis Iteritas
- Squarp Rample
- Acid Rain Chainsaw
- Qu-Bit Chord
- Frequency Central Product
- Prok drum modules

Prok Modular Eurorack Drums // 4HP 12-bit DSP Percussion ... ACE!

Published on May 3, 2019 DivKidVideo

"The Prok Drum modules BD SN HH CP, bass drum, snare, hi hat and clap are DSP virtual analogue percussion synths giving you 12 bit crunchy drum sounds that morph between 4 corners of an LED window on the module. Each of the corners represents a patch and all parameters of the synthesis morph from one place to the other leaving loads of sweet spots and variations to modulate with the knobs or X and Y position CV. Holding the trigger button cycles through four "quads" which are 4 collections of 4 patches (16 total) that live on the module.

There's a software editor (video on that coming soon) and some updates to come at Superbooth 2019 too.

Prok Modular Eurorack Drum Voices *FIRST BEATS*

Published on Dec 14, 2018 DivKidVideo

"Thonk caught my attention back at Superbooth with early prototypes of these little 4hp virtual analogue drum voices for Eurorack. Prok Modular is a new company leading with their initial releases in the range the BD SN CP HH. No prizes for guessing bass drum, snare drum, clap and hi hat as the sound sources there. There's no samples here, as I said it's virtual analogue voices allowing for modulation over X and Y positions for a wide range of sounds. This is just a "first beats" "first patch(es)" video sharing a few bits with the modules before a fulsome demo follows in the near future.

Superbooth 2018 - Prok Drum Modules with Thonk

Published on May 8, 2018 DivKidVideo

"New company 'Prok' have heavily built on the Music Thing Modular Radio Music hardware and firmware alongside Thonk and created the first few modules in a new series of drum modules. There's a bass drum, snare, hi hat and clap so far which are non-sample, algorithm based sounds with macro control of lots of parameters for performable modulation and manipulation alongside loading different sound presets. These fit perfectly between the small and single focussed drum modules like an 808 kick and then big "CV over everything" drum voices in the format."
