Dialing the Apocalypse

"Hardware Jams weekend challenge! This weekend's challenge was to take inspiration from a photo of a burned out sound booth in a burned out amphitheater. So minor modality, filtered noise, distorted bassline, plenty of reverb and delay, that's what I'm going with!"

1010 Music Blackbox - Cloudburst Flight | Demonstration

Published on Oct 27, 2019 Under the Big Tree

"I wanted to see what the 1010 Music Blackbox standalone sampler/sequencer/performance platform could do, so I loaded up some samples of vintage synths, plugged in a McMillen QuNexus USB micro-keyboard, and did an arrangement of one of my favorite Tangerine Dream songs, 'Cloudburst Flight' from the 1979 album Force Majeure.

This is a very capable piece of hardware. Great fun to work with when you are traveling - I did this arrangement on a plane on the way from Los Angeles to Chicago for Knobcon '19."

Manis Iteritas X2 | Noise Engineering // XAOC Zadar // E440 Filter // Basimilus Iteritas Alter

Published on Oct 27, 2019 Nostalgic Ruckus

"First moments with 2 Manis Iteritas in the same skiff.
Zadar envelope B is modulating the first Manis saw while envelope C from Zadar is plugged into the 2nd Manis pitch. The triggers are two separate divided clocks by Moffenzeef Mitto. One for kick and one for the bassline. The first Manis is the one plugged into the E440 filter. Basimilus Iteritas Alter is the kick."

"What kind of 'soundware' could open new channels of inspiration for modular users across diverse genres? It would have to be something unique, adaptable, effortless, and pristine.

With an already impressive resume of sound design for major music software developers (including Steinberg, Ableton, Native Instruments, Yamaha, Output and others), SonalSystem is proud to announce its latest venture into content design for hardware with a Micro SD card packed with stunning sound for modular-based composers.

UNIQUE

Never satisfied with the already-perfect, we found our sounds even more inspiring chopped, looped, morphed, and filtered through various eurorack units. SonalSystem is the industry’s first to supply multi-compatible third party sound on an dedicated SD card for modular users.

ADAPTABLE

This soundware is simpatico with innovative, industry leading modular units like the 1010 Bit Box, Make Noise Morphagene, Qu-Bit Nebulae, and other great SD equipped gear.

EFFORTLESS

Totally plug and play, our cards are formatted and embedded with meticulously pre-sliced sound at intuitive cue points. Most eurorack modules instantly read the content with no editing necessary.*

PRISTINE

Not your average loops and samples, these are high quality recorded audio files, specially edited for use in modular hardware. No need to spend your precious creative time sample editing in a studio－plug in these immaculate, pre-edited, embedded (and in some cases, looped!) tracks and focus your energy creating straight from your eurorack.

This Micro SD Soundware Pack release covers the core spectrum of sound, promising a sublime experience for anyone with an ear to take something morphable and make it into their own irreproducible showpiece.

*Check your hardware for specific details on how to best integrate the SonalSystem soundware.

To ensure compatibility, we recommend installing the latest product firmware update.

"This unit is an absolute amazing find in this condition. All keys work as well as all button functions. It takes some time to warm up and function correctly and when it does, the sound is second to none of its era... Mellotron, Chamberlin and Orchestron take a back seat. Someone has removed the left channel input socket so that it operates as mono, I have no idea why. Sometimes it takes a couple of hours of being on for the circuit to stabilize but once it does, it sounds incredible and has no problems whatsoever. I am listing this as accurately as I can since I cannot find a schematic online or anyone local to give it a look over to see what is going on exactly. It is in superb shape and one of the most difficult to find keyboards as they only made them from 1982-1984, less than 200 overall units made in California. This unit's MSRP in 1982 was $3,900, on top of that, included is the 16 string orchestra chip that cost over $860 alone. At $4,760 plus tax, that was a serious investment which made this almost exclusively a unit bought by recording studios or professional musicians."

"This Axxe is in really nice shape for its age.

It wasn't working when I got it so I went through and serviced the synthesizer.

Every single slider was removed, disassembled and cleaned.

The sliders move freely and work well.

I changed out most of the capacitors and removed some faulty components.

I got a set of brand new slider caps that are all red."
