Collaborating with the Pet Rock over a Weekend (Temporal Synthesis Experiment #1)

video upload by Musical Miscellany & More

"I thought this might be a fun experiment. I made this simple patch and allowed the Pet Rock to determine the rhythms over a 4-day period. Each day I made small changes to modulation, bpm, scale, etc, but the patch is relatively static. It sounds quite different from day to day.

Collaborating with Supra over 24 Hours (Temporal Synthesis Experiment #2)

video upload by Musical Miscellany & More

"I thought this might be a fun experiment. I made this simple patch and allowed Supra to determine the rhythms and melodies over a 24 hour period. The rhythm should change every 3 hours and the scale should change every 12 hours. I made minor changes like knob position and clock division but most of the changes are from Supra.

Ziggurat Sequencing

video upload by John Schussler

"The Ziggurat from Acid Rain is sold as a quantizer, but it has a sequencer built into it that actually is pretty nice to have around. You can't edit the sequence, so once it's in it's in, but you can make really long sequences, and you can do it for 4 voices at a time.

Plus you can transpose the root of individual channels or all channels at once, which gets fun. And if you want to give up one of the channels you can use channel 4 (or whichever) as your harmony sequence and move the others around.

This is just a short demo to show it doing its thing as a sequencer.

Explaining and testing Plexiphon by Make Noise

video upload by Stazma

"More infos and affiliate links in the description // Support on Patreon to get samples from this session: / stazma

Today we are going to check out Plexiphon by Make Noise & Soundhack.

This is a very interesting effect module that blend multi-tap delay and reverb by giving you big macro controls over a giant feedback network.
Like the Erbe-Verb it is fully modeless so it will create all sort of weird unrealistic sounding reverb like effect (hence the name texturizer). The delay side can be a bit more « normal » but the multi-tap nature of it makes it quite weird (in a good way).
It is a very impressive and fun time and space playground.

Have fun!!!"

AT Legio: Ataraxic Translatron Legio LFSR lofi oscillator on the Legio platform

video upload by Noise Engineering

"AT Legio is an LFSR lofi oscillator inspired by the very first Noise Engineering module, Ataraxic Translatron. And now, it can do a whole lot more.

Get a Legio module and swap to this firmware today:
https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

AT starts with two LFSRs. Tone shapes the first, while Mod controls a second LFSR that modulates it. Together, they can take things from crunchy digital tones to much more chaotic textures.

And then we can make things weirder.

This left switch changes the audio input behavior, giving us another completely different set of sounds.

And because that wasn't enough, there's Chorus. That right switch spreads everything out into a much wider stereo voice.

We can also hard sync AT from another oscillator - another way to push the harmonics around and get some nasty digital textures.

And bring in another voice with its audio inputs.

AT is one of the many free firmwares available for the Legio platform. Grab a Legio module, connect it over USB, and you can swap AT and the rest of the Legio firmware collection whenever you want.

23 Firmwares.
One Legio.

The Far Reaches of the Envelope／Hikari Instruments Triple AD #modularsynth #モジュラーシンセ

video upload by MY FIRST SYNTH TOKYO

"I made some beats and generated noise using only the Hikari Instruments Triple AD.

The Triple AD features standard envelope mode and cycling mode, and can also be controlled by incoming trigger (voltage) timing.

By combining its LFO and envelope functions, you can enjoy a full performance with just this single module.

It’s easily the worst—and coolest—way to use an envelope module imaginable!
#eurorack #eurorackmodular #envelope"

Triple AD from Hikari Instruments provides three independent Attack/Decay envelope generators in an uncommonly tiny Eurorack footprint. Each of the envelopes has a dedicated trigger input and an output.

All envelopes can be set to self-cycling mode either manually via a switch or using control voltage or gate signals sent into the cycle input jack, extending the module's utility into LFO-like territory. Additionally, above each of the outputs, there is a 3-position range switch, enabling access to envelope times from 0.2 ms to eight seconds in length.

Triple AD Features

Three AD envelopes

Per-channel cycle mode may be activated manually or momentarily set via CV/Gate

Definable envelope duration from 0.2ms - 8s

Gator Legio: Stereo supersaw PM oscillator on the Legio platform

video upload by Noise Engineering

"Gator Legio is a stereo supersaw oscillator inspired by the Manis Iteritas Alia core, with piles of detuned saws, phase modulation, and plenty of stereo movement.

Get a Legio module and swap to this firmware today:
https://noiseengineering.us/products/...

Let's start with Detune. This spreads the saw voices apart in pitch, taking your sound from a tight unison to a huge, dense, swarm of saws.

Saw Mod changes the character of those waves, giving you another way to push the harmonics with that classic Noise Engineering sound.

Then there's Saw Count. This switch changes the number of saw waves in the swarm.

And since Gator is stereo, the Stereoness switch spreads those voices across the stereo field for an even wider sound.

The inputs are for phase modulation. Feed in another oscillator and you can take that supersaw into much stranger territory.

And send a gate to the 8vA input and Gator instantly jumps up an octave, giving you another fun way to animate a sequence.

Gator is one of several synth voices available for Legio. You'll also find AT, Plus, Unda, Reso, and plenty of completely different percussion voices and effects to swap in over USB.

23 Firmwares.One Legio.

"We hope that Vermona will not end our long friendship now...

Using the A-168-1 PWM/Comparator module with the DRM1 MKIV.
The A-168-1 processes the drums and is modulated by one of its outputs. This results in some really nice distorted sounds, some really crazy overdrives... this module is also quite cheap...
The A-101-6 Six Stage Opto FET VCF, used in low pass mode, modulates some of the high frequencies...

CLAVE. Euclidean Drum Machine - Quick Start

video upload by Oficina de Sonido

via Kickstarter

"Clave, Ecuclidean Drum Machine lets you intuitively play rhythmic patterns that complement and syncopate with one another. Prepare your compositions across 16 steps and 8 sample tracks by saving different versions or parts, and refine your performance with the included effects and filter. All in a single, lightweight, and portable unit. It comes with 5 factory-installed drum kits and has space for you to add your own.

It’s based on what’s known as Euclidean Rhythms, which describes the distribution of beat intervals. It sounds complicated, but that’s exactly what makes the system simple. The best part is that you’re not limited to using the automatic distribution system, you can also program it step-by-step, 'XOX' just like any other drum machine.

In our musical quest to create a hybrid sound that blends electronic music with organic rhythms, we have collaborated with percussionists, designed our own synths and drum machines, programmed digital instruments, and even built electromechanical percussions!

This campaign is to introduce our new drum machine to the world; we already have a couple of working prototypes. We need your support to be able to produce the first batch of machines. This is already our fourth project on Kickstarter—we hope we can crowdfund this one, too!"
