Brighton Modular Meet Set for June 30th & July 1st 2018

via @thonk_synth

"Date for your calendar! Brighton Modular Meet 2018 - June 30th to July 1st"

And via the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts:

"Now in its sixth year, the annual Brighton Modular Meet returns to the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts.

Over the last five years modular synthesizers have become smaller and more accessible than ever before. With this has come a huge rise in their popularity and the scene continues to grow year on year.

The Brighton Modular Meet is one of the largest events of its kind in the UK and is host to synth DIY workshops, live performances, artist and developer talks and presentations; there will also be a free and open table-top meet led by industry experts and synth enthusiasts.

Visitors can see a wide range of audio and video modular synthesizers on show, from developers and manufacturers that range from small one-man-bands all the way up to large and long established companies, as well as synths designed and built by artists, musicians and DIY enthusiasts.

Bring your gear to the modular meet, and mingle with like-minded modular synth enthusiasts, developers, manufacturers and resellers."

Machines In Music 2017 - Music Thing Modular - Spring Reverb Mk II

Published on Nov 11, 2017 Thonk Synth DIY

"Buy the Spring Reverb MK II kit here - https://www.thonk.co.uk/product-categ..."

"New Features of the Spring Reverb Mkii include:

Internal Feedback control with CV input, dedicated attenuverter and with invert switch for maximum feedbackiness

Wet out and feedback in sockets for more flexible patching

3HP Expander – allows for instant switching between reverb brick and spring tank – or set a blend between the two

Expander also allows for front panel send and return to spring tank.

New improved circuit

More Features
Works with a variety of spring reverb tanks (not included), or with the Accutronics BTDR-2 reverb ‘brick’ designed by Brian Neunaber (not included)
Vactrol (VTL5C3) crossfade between dry and wet (vactrol circuits are variable in their ability to go completely 100% wet, like the Make Noise Echophon for example)
Tilt EQ on the reverb send to tune the voice of the reverb
X-Fade input so the module can also be used as a standalone vactrol crossfader (crossfade demo)
Feedback circuit with positive and negative phase
Attenuverter on the crossfade CV input
6hp wide (NB: If using the brick, mounted horizontally, the brick extends 5mm over the PCB to the left of the module, around 25mm back from the front panel, so mount the reverb next to a shallow module)
Expander with Front panel mount Phono sockets & Crossfade between reverb types."

And the Expander:

"The Music Thing Spring Reverb Expander is designed to connect to the Music Thing Modular Spring Reverb Mkii. The expander adds the ability to blend the reverb tank and brick outputs and manually crossfade between the two. This module also adds the option to connect to your reverb tank from the front panel rather than the back PCB of the main Spring Reverb module. This expander is passive so doesn’t require a power cable.

Note: This expander is only compatible with the MTM Spring Reverb Mkii – It will not work with older revisions."

Brighton Modular Meet 2017 Performances


Playlist:
1. Simonsound live at Brighton Modular Meet 2017

"Manipulating a self generating patch (inspired by Todd Barton’s ‘Krell’ patch) on the Buchla 200e, with additional noises coming from the Cocoquantus and processing via Eventide Space effects.

Simon’s soundtrack to the radio drama, Akiha Den Den, is released on July 28th. Radio interference, snatches of intercepted broadcasts, codes, tones, signals and other haunting sounds from the wireless feature heavily alongside the soundtrack conjured up on an array of synthesisers including the Buchla 200e Electric Music Box and EMS VCS3. Occasionally the voices of Akiha Den Den's inhabitants burn through the white noise offering a glimpse of their tangled patchbay like story.

Released by Castles in Space on clear vinyl, the physical package includes an Akiha Den Den booklet (designed by Nick Taylor) and Bonus CD filled with over 70 minutes of Buchla Modular, EMS, drones, dramatics, cassette 4 track abuse and noise from the Akiha Den Den radio series.
