"Continuing to explore the Wingie Blippoo firmware, this time trying to find a slightly more restrained way of working and allowing something to develop over a bit more time.

Paired with a BC9 on the line input for extra unpredictability. And sending it all out via a QuBit Aurora (standard firmware) for atmospherics.

I am loving the soundscapes this thing creates. Really regret not picking up an original Blippoo when I had the chance years ago."

Narwhal - New Config Tool for Nautilus

video upload by Qu - Bit

"Welcome to the next era of Nautilus, our groundbreaking delay module. We have created a web-based tool called Narwhal that can access some of the most exciting features of Nautilus.
https://narwhal.qubitelectronix.com/

After you've changed the settings you want, export a file from Narwhal, drop it in the Nautilus USB drive and BOOM---new features.
This video will show you how to get the most out of this unique complex delay network.
Like....changing the Sonar output from stepped random to master clock.
Or...changing how freeze behaves.


Getting close and personal with Nautilus has never been so easy."

"We start our Artist Spotlight series off with none other than Anthony Baldino.
Anthony has been a member of the Qu-Fam for a long time, and has been innovating in sound design for even longer. In this intimate interview, Anthony takes us back to the beginning, talks Qu-Bit modules and workflows, and then treats us to a deep and varied performance.

BIO:
Born and raised in New York, Anthony Baldino is a composer and sound designer based in LA whose work spans an enormous range of production avenues. The likelihood that you haven't heard his work is nearly impossible with music and sound design in too many trailer campaigns to list. With Prometheus, Interstellar, Ex-Machina, Star Wars: Rogue One and Avengers: Infinity War just to name a few.

From there his work ventures to the opposite pole of production with custom sound design based compositions for Dolby Labs mixed in Atmos, beautifully glitched out remixes and continues on to mind bending modular synthesizer performances.

Nelasma - "Crushed" - Dramatic Orchestral Melodic Techno - Modular Synth Live Jam - DFAM

video upload by Nelasma

"Oh my I did it again this weekend and now I'm coughing around again... sigh... at least its not as bad as three weeks ago... tho I wanna have fun again without getting sick hahaha... A-NY-WAY!

I still managed to get together some kinda orchestral vibe techno jam for you good people! Actually wanted to finally make DFAM the main actor but well.. while playing around I made those sweet stabs on the ensemble oscillator and that inspired me for the rest of the jam.

Like in the last jam I wanted to experiment more with the delay and used some bit crushing algorithm from nautilus. Sounds kinda broken sometimes but fits the vibes and the state of my immune system.

Unto the end I managed to dial in some phase cancellation of the Bassdrum which is normally a no-no for me but well.. It was still ok and since it was clocked it still was kinda rhythmical.

So yeah a little jam with broken sickness vibes haha..
And hopefully I'm back at my 100% soon.

As always raw into OBS, no post processing, intentions and mistakes ;)

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."

Nautilus Tutorial 1: Getting Started

video upload by Qu - Bit

"Nautilus is a complex delay network inspired by sub-nautical communications and their interaction with the environment. In essence, Nautilus is a stereo delay consisting of 8 unique delay lines which can be connected and synced in interesting ways. Each time Nautilus pings its sonar system, the generated topography reveals itself through the delay, all while staying in time with the internal or external clock. Complex feedback interactions plunge sounds to new depths, while related delay lines pull fragments of sound in different directions. Manipulate the delay lines even further by configuring the the stereo receptors, sonar frequencies, and aquatic materials that filter the space between Nautilus and its surroundings.

Though Nautilus is a delay effect at heart, it is also a CV/Gate generator. The Sonar Output creates either a unique Gate signal, or a unique CV signal algorithmically generated from Nautilus’s findings. Drive other parts of your patch with pings from the delay network, or use the generated topography as a modulation source.

From the deep ocean trenches, to shimmering tropical reefs, Nautilus is the ultimate exploratory delay network."

From the manual:

What’s An FDN Reverb? FDN (Feedback Delay Network) Reverberation is a technique that, as many other digital reverb algorithms, uses delay lines to artificially add a sense of space to a sound. What makes an FDN reverb unique is that each of the delay lines (in the case of “FDN Verb” there are 8), are processed through a feedback matrix. In other words, the outputs from one delay line get scaled, and sent back to the inputs of the other delay lines. This, with a combination of internal filtering, and modulation common to other reverb algorithms quickly creates the dense reflective sounds that make up a good sounding reverb.

New Qu-Bit Nautilus Sub-Nautical Complex Delay Network Eurorack Module

"Batten the hatches, because Qu-Bit Electronix is seafaring with their sub-nautical, complex multi-delay line effects module: Nautilus. Billed as sub-nautical, the Nautilus is inspired by sonar and the underwater topographical maps it can creates, this stereo delay uses its eight delay lines to create complex networks that traverse an aquatic path. Synced with an external or internal clock in unique ways, the rhythms it generates interact with each other to create new patterns.

Not limited to sonic interactions, the Nautilus has a gate/CV output called Sonar. Using the settings and algorithms selected, Sonar will output a gate signal or CV that's based on the explorations of the delay lines. Explorations are deep and vast with each delay line able to be up to 20 seconds long and with three different settings—Fade, Doppler, and Shimmer—the deep sea diving and aquatic spelunking will yield plenty. Enjoy the solitude of the sea with the Nautilus, a deep sea, sub-nautical, multi-delay line module from Qu-Bit Electronix.

NAUTILUS FEATURES

Multi-faceted, multi-delay line effects module and underwater exploratory device
Generates delays based on sonar and topographical maps
Internal or external clocking
Ultra-low noise floor
8 codependent delay lines with 20 seconds of audio each
Sonar output that emits gate and CV signals related to the delay

Qu-Bit Aurora | Spectral Reverb & Space Synthesizer

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"For me, there's nothing like plugging a reverb in my case that has a different approach to 'space'. There are procedural reverbs like Desmodus, Z-DSP, FX-AID and StarLab, there's convolution reverbs emulating real space by room measurements - and now there's a spectral reverb. It analyzes the incoming sound with a mathematcial FFT algorithm (extracting frequencies over time, creating a spectrograph) and then uses an engine (the phase vocoder) to synthesize a delay line. So it's unnatural by design, but this opens up many ways to alter the spectrum in real time, like slowing it down, pitching it, etc. I hope you'll enjoy this 'first patch' tour!

The Spectral Editor shown in the video is Izotope RX. It's the #1 sound restoration tool. Izotope also features Iris 2, a synthesizer using the same spectral techniques for music.

This video contains a snippet of Hans Zimmer's 'Time', arranged and performed by myself. It's used for educational purposes. This is an educational channel, monetizing is off and this video is not sponsored by anybody."

Qu-Bit FDN Verb - An official alt. Firmware for Aurora

video upload by Qu - Bit

"Alternate firmware downloads for eurorack modules that are already amazing. Does it get any better? At Qu-Bit, we'll keep innovating to take our instruments to the next level. As promised, here's the first official alternate firmware for Aurora, FDN Verb. Did we mention it's free?

https://www.qubitelectronix.com/alter...

And as you hopefully already know--the process of updating to FDN Verb couldn't be easier. Simply download the file from the link above, put it on your USB drive that came with Aurora, and power cycle the module. Make sure to check out the manual for FDN Verb in addition to watching this video.

FDN Verb is a Feedback Delay Network reverb algorithm for the Aurora platform. Think of it as your bread and butter end of chain reverb, with a few tricks up its sleeve. Alongside incredibly present room reverbs, and wide lush halls, FDN Verb gives you control over highpass and lowpass filtering of the reverb, pitch modulation, and a separate input level knob from Mix, all for dialing in the perfect reverb to complement your sound."

There’s a lot going on here.

Basically, @qubitelectronix Bloom is sending CVs to the @mutableinstruments Tides V/oct IN, acting as the 'chord machine'.
Beads is sampling something I can’t remember tbh, transforming it in this glassy sound and receiving modulation on Shape and Time from Stages: this means groove.
Rings and Monsoon for some tasty stereo movement (old but gold friends)
@noiseeng Desmodus Versio is, as always, the captain of my ambient-washy sea.
