"This is my SuONOIO, in a custom enclosure I made from a steel project box. I drilled holes, cut out a notch for the headphone jack in the back, and made a stencil of the logo, staying with the original color scheme.

The SuONOIO is a portable synthesizer inspired by SONOIO's music, custom created by The Harvestman (Scott Jaeger). SONOIO is the new project of Alessandro Cortini (Modwheelmood, Blindoldfreak, former keyboardist of Nine Inch Nails).

SuONOIO - Next Batch and NAMM

via SuONOIO

"Hello all,

I recently visited Alessandro and we spent some time organizing the production of the upcoming batch of SuONOIO. Things are looking great! All of the electronic parts are in hand, and we are just waiting on the batch of circuit boards to arrive from overseas which should ship any day now. Then, I’ll build an example to confirm that the boards work, and for the factory to use. Then the manufacturing will begin! We will probably be running a few days late, apologies for that.

If anybody’s going to NAMM I will have a SuONOIO on display at the Analogue Haven booth in hall E (basement), way in the back corner by the bad snack bar."

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! This year it appears the iPad was front and center for me. I thought I'd feature some of the apps sent my way this year as a thank you to the developers. There were also a few hardware items this year including a prototype of The Missing Link, the SuONOIO, the Line 6 Midi Mobilizer, a Bleep Labs Thingamagoop2, Madrona Labs Aalto, some Audio Damage plug-ins, and Gold Baby Sample sets. BTW, if I missed you let me know!

The following are links to the manufacturer websites where you can find more info on every item featured. Be sure to see below for more pics. I wanted to capture every app listed. The pics emphasize how the iPad and iPhone become the app. Be sure to see the holidays label for more holiday posts. Have a great day!

SuONOIO Modular synth made by Sonoio and Harvestman

via this auction
"Straight from their site:
A portable synthesizer inspired by SONOIO's music, custom created by The Harvestman

* Alessandro Cortini and Scott Jaeger (The Harvestman) have collaborated to create a fully functional, highly featured and fun synthesizer called the SuONOIO. The SuONOIO utilizes sounds found on the SONOIO album and allows you to reshape them into new sounds, rhythms, textures and drones!
* The SuONOIO is highly portable thanks to its battery powered operation and built-in speaker. In addition to the immediate feedback of the built-in speaker, SuONOIO features a 1/4" output that makes it easy to be integrated with your favorite pedals, processors, amplifiers and more. Multiple SuONOIOs can be patched together if you decide to become a shut in or a professional concert SuONOIO-ist.
* Main Features:
2 Sample Players with access to Sample Banks and Pitch Control, 16 Point Patchable System For Routing Simple to Complex Signal Chains, Internal Delay Effect, 6 Knobs for Ultimate Tweaking Pleasure, Mini Patch Cords, 1/4" Output, Integrated Speaker, Battery Operated, Multiple SuONOIO Compatibility

Only 200 were made.
Check out the site dedicated to it: http://sonoio.org/suonoio/"

"Alessandro Cortini who played Buchla in NIN and Scott The Harvestman maker of interesting synth modules in Seattle joined forces to make a modular patchable 2x16 sample playback machine out of alessandro's new album and released 200 of these crazy machines into the world. Here's my experience with one."

Happy Halloween!!!

I hope it's a good one. The following is a short video I made with the SuONOIO.

Single oscillator on the SuONOIO. No external processing. Sample-A set to rhythmic loop with no mods set. Delay A added followed by Crystal effect which gives the delay feedback an octave-up effect - it's the shimmer sound. Reverse mod and Distortion effects then added. The over saturation and distortion is on purpose. Unfortunately the bass wasn't fully captured, and it's a bit noisy. It sounds better/fuller in the studio. Anyway... Enjoy the rhythmic distorted subtleties. I love this thing.

Happy Halloween folks!

SuONOIO Modular Synth Unboxing

Some unboxing pics of my SuONOIO. Be sure to click each for the super sized shot. I can't wait to dig into it. This isn't a simple noise maker. It's much, much more. For those new to the SuONOIO, it's a joint venture between Alessandro Cortini of SONOIO and previously NIN, and Scott Jaeger of the Harvestman, who's digital eurorack modules are renowned in the modular synth community as being the best of the best.

If you look at the label under each knob, from left to right, you will see FREQ-A, MIX, FREQ-B, SAMPLE-A, SAMPLE-B, MOD AMT and MOD FREQ (see below for more pics). Essentially you have two sample sets from Alessandro Cortini's SONOIO album to manipulate, but, don't think of this as a sample/loop player. This is much more powerful. This is a textural drone synth with modulation capabilities that make it surprisingly flexible and sound very, very good. Side note: the built in speakers do NOT do it justice. Fortunaltly a 1/4" out is built into the unit. Head phones don't do it justice. Plug it into your studio system and you are treated to an incredibly unique and powerful sounding synth.

The SAMPLE-A knob lets you select the SAMPLE for what is effectively oscillator A, and SAMPLE-B for oscillator B. You can adjust the frequency of each with the corresponding FREQ knobs, and you can adjust the MIX between the two with the MIX knob. There is a volume knob and an on/off toggle switch.

Where the magic really comes in is with these little cables and the red jumper caps provided just under and to the side of each FREQ knob. If you look at the knobs again, you will see little empty jumper connections next to each. Each individual jumper corresponds to a different effect. Connect the jumper and the effect is enabled. Some, like distortion, are active immediately, others come in with the MOD AMT knob. You can use the cables to route the RND effect described below, or use them as a more flexible way to "pop/touch" effects in and out for real time performance. You can even patch between multiple SuONOIOs (see RND below).

The Sample Effects are as follows x 2 (one for each sample/osc):
DISTORTION 01 - a loud, powerful distortion effect.
DISTORTION 02 - a more subtle "bitcrushing" distortion.
CROSS-MOD - The audio output of the other channel controls the pitch. Use the MOD-AMT knob to adjust depth.
BACKWARDS - Reverses the playback of the channel.
LFO -> FREQ
LFO -> WINDOW - Your gateway to endless, bizarre rhythm effects.
LFO -> AMPLITUDE
LFO INVERT
RND - These two pins generate random on/off signals. The rate of change can be controlled with the MOD-FREQ knob. To use them, use one of the mini-cables to connect a RND pin to your desired jumper location, on the TOP row of pins per jumper.

Additional individual effects :
DELAY A - Enables Delay effect for channel A. MOD-AMT controls delay send/feedback, and MOD-FREQ controls the wet/dry mix.
CRYSTAL - Gives the delay feedback an octave-up effect.
SHORT 01 - Shortens the delay time.
SHORT 02 - Shortens the delay time by a different amount. Use both SHORT jumpers with high feedback for a flanger effect.
DELAY B - Enables Delay effect for Channel B.
FREEZE - Freezes the value of the MOD-AMT and MOD-FREQ controls only for the delay effect (so you can change the LFO settings while keeping the same delay sound).
SWAP - The knob position of the MOD-AMT and MOD-FREQ controls (as applied to the delay) is mirror-imaged: a 0% setting becomes 100%, and so on.
RESERVED - This jumper doesn't do anything right now, but will do exciting things in the future.
