Knobula Drum Farm Review

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"Drum Farm is a percussion production machine that let's you grow synth and sampled drums and then harvest them into vats of groovy goodness. Shove sounds about, sample, resample and then plough through effects. It's massively versatile, full of great sounds and is fun to use. Here's my review of exactly how that all works."

Ambient Live Patch | 4 Tiptop Audio & Buchla Modules

video upload by A Last Picture From Voyager

"Time to play live with the 4 first modules I bought from the Tiptop Audio & Buchla eurorack series. Before getting these modules, I owned a hybrid setup made from analog and digital modules with lots of functionality (sometimes hidden), and I wanted to go back to the roots of sound synthesis. The Buchla philosophy was the one closest to my ambient experimental mood, so I went for it.

The 245t sequences voltages, the 258t generates the tones, the 266t adds unpredictability, and the 292t shapes it all into something organic. No computer, no external sequencer — just four modules and patch cables, breathing together.

I'll explain in detail all the reasons behind this choice on Patreon soon. For now, let's listen to a little piece of modular synthesis ambient music.

Modules used:

• ‪@tiptop-audio‬ & Buchla 245t (Sequential Voltage Source)
• Tiptop Audio & Buchla 258t (Dual Oscillator)
• Tiptop Audio & Buchla 266t (Source of Uncertainty)
• Tiptop Audio & Buchla 292t (Quad Lopass Gate)

Generative #ambient #synth patch: Juno 6 and DX 7 sounds mangled and driven by Shoal on DistingNT

video upload by voltryx

"A walkthrough of a slow-evolving generative ambient patch built around the Expert Sleepers Disting NT and the Shoal plug-in (https://github.com/ormermodular/shoal).

Shoal generates eight channels of notes and gates, which I route internally through CV-to-MIDI and send to an AMYboard running a mixture of Juno-6 and DX7-inspired synth voices. The audio then returns to the Disting NT for bitcrushing and Kirbinator-based mangling before passing through the Delay Magneto algorithm on the FX Aid.

This is only my first exploration of Shoal or perhaps just dipping my toes in. I look at its global scale and tempo settings, per-channel sequence lengths and evolution controls, plus the mute, density and note-range controls available from the main page.

I’m also using a small Python app I vibe-coded to assign built-in and custom AMYboard presets to different MIDI channels. Let me know in the comments if you’d like me to put it on GitHub.

Patch:
Disting NT → Shoal → CV-to-MIDI → AMYboard
AMYboard → Disting NT Bitcrusher/Kirbinator → FX Aid Delay Magneto → Mixer

Lifeforms SV-1 Mini / Eurorack In the Works

via Pittsburgh Modular Confluence

"Update on the Lifeforms SV-1 Mini. We sharpened our pencils and did all the math. Retail will be $599. That is $200 less than the original SV-1! Production SHOULD be finished by mid December and they SHOULD be shipping to buyers mid-January. All great news. So I want feedback on preorders. Should we take preorders? When should they start? The first run will be 300 units. Thought?"

"We will have production test units the middle of September. They will have the production panels and case. And that is what would be demoed for the preorders."

A new kind of audio FX - Sparkling Riser

video upload by SynTesla

"The Sparkling riser is a brand new kind of audio FX

This effect is achieved by stacking 12 lines of 'micro-delays' lasting a few milliseconds (6 lines per audio channel) The delayed sound is mixed back into the original sound, creating a comb filter.

Each delay line has a feedback loop, and the delay time is modulated by several LFOs. In addition to the LFOs, we have 12 VCAs (1 per delay line) whose levels are synchronized to the phases of each LFO.

But when the effect is on the "infinite rise" mode, as soon as we apply randomization to the LFO phases, something very strange happens:
'phantom notes' appear. We could compare this effect to concentric waves colliding to create a splash—a “spark” that, in our example, generates notes based on the frequencies and harmonic content of the sound. This 'spark' gives the effect its name: 'Sparkling Riser.'

This effect is directly inspired by a project we're working on with electronics genius Yves Usson."

nonlinearcircuits Dichotomy Paradox 1

video upload by cirtcele

"Updated version of Divine CMOS. Wonderful module for harmonically rich sounds or use as a complex CV patter and gate generator. Thought the LEDs were superbright purple but turned out to be a mild light blue."

via nonlinearcircuits

"This module has been thru a few cycles. The original idea for the design is from an article in Electronotes EN#98 by Lester Ludwig, spectacularly titled ‘A Square-wave Frequency-division Sub-octave Cross-product Module, it’s relationship with Lie algebra, and other related processes’ or more simply known as The Cross Product Module.

The frequencies of two VCO signals are separately divided by /2, /4, /8 & /16 ratios. The corresponding divisions are ANDed together and the results, along with all the raw divided frequencies are mixed together in various ways. You end up with a very harmonically thick, animated sound.

I did a full bloat CMOS (Ludwig’s design was TTL) version for a 4U panel back in 2008 or so, but changed the AND gates to XOR gates for a more ring-modulated effect. Then a minimal, slimmed down eurorack version, called Divine CMOS. This just used the XOR’d signal and outputted a signal determined by the pots.

After some requests for an expanded version, I re-visited the design.

7555VCO 1

video upload by cirtcele

"Wide ranging sawtooth VCO with the hardest hard sync around."



via nonlinearcircuits

"Not the most exciting name, I simply wanted a 4HP sawtooth VCO to sit next to the Spectrum Shaper.

It is based on the Utility VCO in Electronotes EN67, which was based on designs by R. Tenny (Electronic Design 11/10/75), J.L. Brice (Wireless World (6/76) and others.

It tracks very nicely, turn the CV pot to max for 1V/oct, ranges from approx 10Hz to over 100kHz and supplies 10Vp-p sawtooth and square waves.

The Sync is the hardest of hard syncs around. I left out the capacitor usually used to turn sync signals into a pulse, so if you feed a gate or slow CV signal into Sync the VCO simply stops, think of it is a bonus VCA. Of course, if you use an audio rate sync signal, it works as normal.

It is a pretty easy build. not many parts. Do not mix up the BCM847 and BCM857 dual transistors, see the build notes for where to install a 1k tempco."

How to make a Morphing Filter with TRACE // DivKid & Vostok Instruments

video upload by DivKid

"Inspired by a comment asking if Trace could take static filter mode outputs (LP, BP, HP etc) and add a CV controllable mode/filter type morphing to those outputs ... here's a video that does just that!

With 4 community favourite filters (thanks to the QOTD in the DivKid Discord) and 4 examples going from smooth filter mode shifts, through rhythmic sequenced filter type changes, creating a unique tone shifting VCA response out of a Wasp filter and going complex and abstract with filter pings for the finest discerning filter ping connoisseurs out there."

"Patch Memory 7. Patching the Venus Instruments Veno-Orbit back into itself to see what chaos ensues!

Output feeds back into input, via a reverb (my micro Dervish); Pamela's New Workout sequences record, play, pitch, reverse, start position and length across both channels.

Vacuum Tube Ring Modulator Demo | Gritty, Raw & Analog

video upload by Stoel Music Systems

"What does a vacuum tube ring modulator actually sound like?

In this video, I take the Stoel Music Systems Vacuum Tube Ring Mod through a series of patches to explore its raw, gritty, and surprisingly musical character.

We start simple with sine waves and gradually bring in a second oscillator, different waveforms, detuning, envelopes, subs, and effects. Along the way, the Vacuum Tube Ring Mod goes from crunchy analog textures to metallic bell sounds and some surprisingly usable bass patches.

I also compare it directly with the Stoel Dual Ring Mod, our solid-state ring modulator. They perform the same basic job, but they definitely don't sound the same. The Dual Ring Mod is cleaner and more defined, while the Vacuum Tube Ring Mod has all kinds of grit, leakage, harmonics, and organic character.

Neither one is better—they're just very different flavors of ring modulation.

If you're into Eurorack, modular synthesis, vacuum tubes, or just making weird noises musical, this one's for you.

Let me know in the comments: tube or solid state?
