"This little combo is really cool!!
Since Benjamin Poilvé sent me the minichord (a smaller version of the omnichord) to test, I've been trying to find a place for it alongside the tiny rack, and the whole thing works well. The Gliss from ‪@BelaPlatform‬ through the Plinky, Buzzrito (+ Bib for effects) from ‪@bluespoonery‬ adds its variations.

Other modules used are the farbfolder from ‪@MakingSoundMachines‬ the disting mk4 from ‪@ExpertSleepersLtd‬ for reverb and mixer xoh from ‪@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC‬
All candycords cables come from ‪@myvolts1903‬"

Escaping to Nature with the Digitone

video upload by VoltageCtrlRtv

"Sometimes, I need to step away from screens and just reconnect with nature. My birthday was on the 7th so I I packed up my Elektron Digitone, the Myvolts Step Up Explorers Kit, and a portable Bluetooth speaker and headed out to a quiet spot where I could breathe. Being surrounded by trees and open skies always inspires something deeper in my music; it's like the melodies just flow naturally in response to the landscape. I found a shady spot, plugged in, and let the Digitone hum its warm, evolving tones. As I dialed in delicate FM textures, while listening organic sounds, I felt an incredible sense of peace. Making ambient music here felt right, like syncing with a rhythm older than any technology.

Digitone and other Elektron sound packs available at : http://audibleobjects.com"

1. Bristronica 24: MyVolts The Silent Alchemist Nears Shipping

We caught up with Caroline who gave us the latest update to the *Silent Alchemist*, a versatile power hub designed for musicians. Featuring five isolated USB-C outputs and a high-wattage sixth output capable of delivering 100 watts, the device can power a Mac with the remaining outputs providing 20 watts each. Its independent circuits ensure noise-free operation, catering to a variety of devices including the Dreadbox module and Sysmo slope generator.

The Silent Alchemist uses innovative step-up power tips to convert USB-C input to the correct voltage for various devices. There's also new feature: an uninterruptible power supply allowing seamless transition between wall and power bank sources. Also introduced were updated cables, such as silver candy cords and floating ring TRS to TS cables, expanding connection flexibility. The Silent Alchemist is expected to be available in December with a competitive pricing strategy.

2. Bristronica 24: Circuit Happy ML2M Clock Sync module updates

At Bristronica 2024, we caught up with the creator of the *ML2M*, who introduced us to the latest version. The ML2M is a compact Eurorack module with Wi-Fi capabilities, allowing seamless synchronization with Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and iOS music apps using Ableton Link without the need for cables. It either connects to an existing network or creates its own, ensuring robust sync even in environments with unreliable Wi-Fi. The module, which retains its 2HP size, now features MIDI integration through TRS jacks. Users can access a web interface to configure each output for different clock divisions and reset triggers, making setup straightforward and flexible.

Alongside the ML2M, there's also the Missing Link Junior. This desktop version offers the same functionality but in a box format, complete with MIDI and CV clock outputs. Both products are now accessible, with a starting price of $250.

3. Bristronica 24: Archaea Exchange Patching Module

At Machina Bristronica 2024, we caught up with Arran from ‪@archaea_modular_synthesis‬ who presented the *Exchange Module*. This programmable patcher, a year in the making, evolved from its early prototype stage to a fully functional module. Arran explained how the Exchange can route synth voices via a beam controller and three exchange modules installed within the skiff, allowing for versatile patching. Operating like a matrix patchbay, it enables users to select inputs and outputs with the push of a button, create presets, and chain multiple modules for synchronized patching.

Communication between the modules occurs over the Eurorack power bus as well as over MIDI via the USB-C connection. The Exchange maintains analog integrity, ensuring there’s no conversion latency. The forthcoming release expected in late November 2024, includes a USB-driven editor for enhanced control capabilities.

myVolts Pedal to Pedal TRS Stereo Candycord patch cables

video upload by myVolts

https://myvolts.com/Candycords

"Every cable we design is for a reason, so we thought we'd create a family of Low Profile Stereo Pedal Cables, fitting in with all your needs!🥰
.
Everything from a simple Pedal to Pedal patch cable, to the more complex CV in from modular, ready to simplify your life.
.
.
Great for Chase Bliss Pedals with their TRS in and out, but also a splitter cable that connects to other great Stereo dual Mono cables, like the Earthquaker Devices Avalanche Run or Empress Effects Zoia.
.
We asked our good friend Nadia Struiwigh to pop into us and test drive the cables, the music in this video is what she had created within 15 minutes of sitting down at our yellow desk.
A great result from just a Pocket Operator and few Pedals, what a talented musician she is! 😊 .
To celebrate this launch, we're giving away a free 'Step Up' USB-C power adapter (Red 9V- will power most pedals) with every spend of over $50 on our Candycords.🤸🤸‍♀️
.
Just use the code MVW38 in any of the myVolts online stores.
