YUKI & ADDAC System presents SO-NO-RO-A Modular Backpack

YUKI & ADDAC System presents SO-NO-RO-A Modular Backpack from ADDAC System on Vimeo.

"YUKI's SO-NO-RO-A modular backpack was specially designed for ADDAC SYSTEM. This backpack provides you all the functionality and safety you need to carry most of ADDAC System's wood frames, external power supply, cables, laptop, tablet or anything else your performance might need.

ADDAC System is a brand of analog modular synthesizers that develops instruments for sonic expression. Modular synthesizers are complex musical instruments, usually big in size. Hence the need to develop a solution that focuses on portability, safety and weight.

YUKI is a Portuguese brand that expresses itself by creating bags and accessories in multiple shapes and sizes using cut-offs from automobile seat cover manufacture. In the past years, YUKI has been promoting partnerships with different music festivals in Portugal. Now it’s delighted to announce a new partnership with ADDAC System.

SO-NO-RO-A modular backpack is comprised of four different elements. These can be interchangeable according to your needs modifying and adapting the carrying capacity and organisation of your backpack.

SO-NO-RO-A complies with airlines carry-on bags size so that you never loose sight of your instrument.

Constructed from laminated car seat fabric together with foam padding it provides extra safety, comfort and durability.

Dedicated for use with patched or unpatched:
ADDAC901 3U and 6U Upright Frames
ADDAC901B Baby Frames
ADDAC901D Diamond Frames
ADDAC901F 3U and 6U Flat Frames
ADDAC909E 2A Power Supply Unit

This solution is also compatible with other brands’ frames and can have other functions besides carrying musical instruments.

ADDAC System Skate Decks Video

"The Story behind ADDAC System skate deck:

ADDAC System + Fall Skateboards joint venture supporting the local skate community

This project was personally driven and it's my public admittance of being a skateboarding fan.
I picked up skateboarding in the late 80's, and while i was never that good at it i kept riding throughout all the 90's, did a 10 year hiatus when i moved to Lisbon but picked it up again in 2010 (really needed some activity that would take me away from the laptop and the soldering iron) skateboarding was still in my heart and still felt challenged by it so, without being too crazy about it, i cleaned the dust of my old skateboard, which by then was almost an artefact from the past, and started frequenting a recently built nearby skatepark. At the skate park there was a few people that were there almost every time i'd go there and we started getting acquainted, after going through the phase of them calling me Sir (damn, i felt old when it happened, most of them were born in the late 90's some in the early 2000's!!) we've become friends and I started to know them better, and how they deal with the urge to skate and the money necessary to do it. Skating can shred your wallet especially if you practice daily, shoes and decks only last up to 2 months this hoping you don't break a deck on some unfortunate landing. So i watch them struggling with these money issues while riding 2nd and 3rd hand boards all soft and chipped out which greatly influence their progression in the sport, i remember how the exact same thing happened to me 20 years ago and i felt compelled of supporting these young guys. I started by helping them have access to cheaper prices being the ebay intermediary and buying stuff online whenever they asked me to and from there i started thinking on this project, making decks to support the local skate community.
After a small conversation with our good friends at Fall Skateboarding we immediately started preparing this joint venture!
So, in this context, we made 50 decks from which 25 are reserved for the local park kids, these will be sold at production price becoming the cheapest decks in Portugal!
The remaining 25 will be numbered and signed by me and sold at 45€ per deck.
These are good quality decks, made of canadian maple hardwood with mellow concave.

All the very best and keep shredding!

New ADDAC 511 Stochastic Voltage Generator

Chance music: from dice to Addac's Stochastic Voltage Generator

video upload by Electrum Modular

"Addac sent me over their latest module: the Stochastic Voltage Generator. It inspired me to delve into the eccentric history of stochastic (or aleatory or chance) music, from Mozart to Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, Morton Feldman, and Iannis Xenakis -- and from Buchla, Moog, and Arp to Eurorack.

The accompanying patch is inspired by Feldman's graphic scores (especially the early "Projections" scores). David Cline's detailed book, The Graph Music of Morton Feldman (Cambridge University Press, 2016), was crucial to understanding Feldman's scores and his complicated relationship to indeterminacy."

ADDAC System .. . ...A word from our team - 31.12.2012

via the ADDAC Systems mailing list:

"...A word from our team

Dear beloved ADDAC System User’s

Here we are at the brink of a new year, the world didn’t end, we’re still thinking, walking and talking... Hmmm, maybe you don’t even remember anymore, what was that all about anyway?

It’s almost impossible to arrive at the end of another year without making a balance of all that happened throughout it’s course.
We look back and see how much we’ve learned, how much was done, how much we grew and how many more user’s trust our solutions.
We can’t express how it feels to have more and more happy users!

We’d like to take this opportunity to give you a peak of who’s at the ADDAC System Core Lab - Division A2, (we blew up A1 a few months ago, oooops, but don’t worry, we already made public that we won’t turn on the black matter device again*), so this is our current trustworthy team and a magnified peak into their personas:
Andre, who’s studying how to become an ermit in night school, works over the clock at both the start and the end of the production line, juggling together concept, circuit & panel design, emails(fewer than he should), programming, testing All modules and obsessively alligning hex nuts as some sort of odd Zen therapy ( you know we like all our nuts alligned in our panels, don’t you? ). It has also been reported that sporadically he can be seen at the local skate park busting his signature trick hardflip to crooked to nose slide switch tre flip out.
Ruben strangely seemed to have grown a third and, more recently, a fourth robotic arm on his collar bone so that, while keeping his “natural” hands free for the soldering iron and solder wire, can now hold the solder fumes extraction hose and a 1200x magnifier lens at the right place and in the perfect alignment, these new, still developing, arms run on a state of the art quantum computer the size of a penny and whose neural network have recently just learned how to roll cigarretes like no other can match.
João by now started to babble in binary code, making haikus in arrays of precisely 64 chars, compressed format. He’s running of a very yin yang diet of freshly grounded cofee and gourmet vegetable oil organic fuel, he flys a brainwave activated late model turbo charged dark green triple-engine jetpack.
Sandra does not type a letter anymore, she developed a molar purpletooth that delivers thunderbolt brain connection with minor side effects like flowing between pink dreams and nightmares at night. Among these, she reported being in a pointillism painting mingling around on the grass of an island where, while some of you and us danced in circles, yet like another later paiting, others made beautifull music from their portable sun powered modular systems enjoying a beautifull Sunday afternoon celebrating sound. Other reports tells us of horror adventures where she chases Andre irated while in it’s turn also irated waiting customers chase both of them through the dark mountains of Mordor under the all seeing eye of laptop users.

But as good or weird as all this might sound like we still have no special powers, we keep our feet on the ground, eyes on the horizon and sanity from your emails, your feedback and love. Thanks for giving us the drive to keep our spirits up, for making us believe that we’re not alone here.
We feel and share your passion towards the Modular World, towards the open Synthesizer, with a big S, the all mighty instrument, one that can give us eternal hours of Sound possibilities, myriads of combinations, structures and compositions. I believe we all just grew to love and got tangled in this never ending world.
And so we took upon us this mission, there’s never enough modules and there’s still so many possibilities to explore, may 2013 bring many more solutions...

And yes we’re not talking about any new module or announcing any release this time, although we’ll be announcing a future module every day during the first 7 days of Janury, so keep tuned to our facebook page and our website, it will start tomorrow!

We also like to note that we’re still offering free shipping on modules and accessories until January 10th.

Have a Happy New Year!

All the very best

PS. Release Notes on 206, 207 and 803

We also would like to take the opportunity to dedicate a word for all of you waiting for the first units of the 206, 207 & 803 Modules
We know you've been waiting for a while now, we are very aware of that and in our thoughts everyday.
Our sparse reports over time may have sound that we were shipping them earlier but due to Andre’s pickiness and obsession with endless fine tunning we still didn’t. In fact we could have done so already, the modules and physically ready, but we don’t want the easy way out, oh no otherwise how could we sleep restfully with doubts on our minds about what we had just done, if it would fail or brake once they get to their new homes and warm frames... This is how we’re thinking here: these are new modules and we won’t let go of them until the fine tunning process is brought to an obsessive stage of scrutiny, testing them with all the shebang of professional tools and our ears, “in case of doubt always trust your ears”.
The best part of this stage is when we start using them in our own modulars even debutting them live and watching the cycle closing as they start “living” in their natural environment and behaving like they were supposed to and surprising us with what we expected and most times more! There’s no doubt that there is some degree of a very personal process in this, seeing them coming to shape, holding on sitting in some rack half torned apart looking helpless until when, suddenly, like magic, they light up and we put it through all this scrutiny and we start trusting them, more and more until we can look at them as a separate entity that we can say farewell to. At that time they will get up and start walking out the door heading to your house and presenting themselves at your doorstep.
But we can add that we are deeply enjoying developing this new modules and we’re proud of them already, we trully trust you’ll be very happy with them as well. Just bear with us for a bit longer!

And many thanks for your understanding, it’s deeply appreciated.

PS2. If you wish to be removed from this list just reply with Unsubscribe

*we deeply believe that it was an induction spike that made A1 blew up, once this is proved right under the critique of a team of world renowed scientists whose names are kept private for the time being, we, under the light of that decision, feel free to use the black matter device once again, we believe we’re this close to control it."

"Following our ADDC503 Marble Physics here is a new simulation of a physical system. This time imagine a small area in the middle of the ocean, in this area we place 4 equally spaced buoys anchored to the bottom in such a system that we can control the spacing between the buoys. Imagine we can control the elements and agitate the waters at will which in turn will make the buoys move up and down as the water surface moves.

Finally imagine the buoys would wirelessly transmit their absolute height directly to your module outputs where they would be mapped to a voltage signal.

We use a Gerstner Wave as the motor behind the two-dimensional wave generation. In fluid dynamics a Gerstner Wave is described as “a progressive wave of permanent form on the surface of an incompressible fluid of infinite depth”. Gerstner waves are often used in computer graphics to simulate any type of water surface, if you’ve seen any animation film or computer game with water surfaces in it most probably it features a Gerstner wave generating it."

New ADDAC System ADDAC405

video upload by DANIELE

"The star of this video is ADDAC405 by ADDAC System. Most of the things I explain in this video are taken from the manual as I believe it's very well written and easy to understand. In this video I'm just showing a couple of things you can do with this gate/trigger and cv generator, inspired by 'Relabi'."

via ADDAC System

In 2009 John Berndt coined and defined the term Relabi in his essay “Relabi”: Patterns of Self-Erasing Pulse. These are his own words: “Relabi, Def.: The experience of a palpably coordinated plurality of events that appears to be cyclical but simultaneously suspends identification of a uniform pattern, preventing a resolved sense of pulse. Relabi therefore seems equally pulsed and unpulsed at the same time. It is an experiential gestalt, a quality of experience, greater than the sum of its parts (it forms a sustained unity in experience, albeit of a new kind).”
He also makes the question: “Why would anyone want this Relabi experience? I maintain that much of what is exciting in musical forms involves an interplay between the setting up and denying of pulse expectations.”

Inspired by this idea we developed this module that is both a gate/trigger and cv generator that can be freely used to trigger events or act as a complex modulation source. Four Sine LFOs are internally generated, each has controls for gain, frequency and mute(off). These 4 LFOs are then mixed together to generate what Berndt named the “Relabi Wave”. This “wave” becomes a complex bipolar CV source. This ±5v bipolar “wave” can be monitored on the 2 dedicated leds and is also available at its own Output.

Make sure to check the User's Guide for indepth description, working behaviour and diagrams.

This module will also be available as a full DIY kit.

"The ADDAC111 ULTRA .WAV PLAYER is the long waited upgrade to our praised ADDAC101 .WAV PLAYER.

While keeping all functions of the original, there’s more dedicated controls as well as a few new functions.

For this version we chose to use Micro SD Cards, this decision was made in order to help the hardware construction and make it only 3cm deep.

The .Wav Player basic principle of operation is simple:
The Loop Size, Start Point and Sample Rate defines how the loop is played.
Loop Settings defines if sample is looping or playing only once.
File Access if it advances to the next or previous file.
The VCA section controls the overall volume of the module.
And finally the Envelope Follower generates a CV voltage related to the amplitude of the audio signal pre-VCA.

An Expansion module, ADDAC111B, was also created to allow users to recall the first 8 files through dedicated trigger signals. This allows sequencing of files.

ADDAC System Introduces Michel Waiswisz's Cracklebox ADDAC708 Eurorack Module

Pics and details below via ADDAC System

[The video of an original Cracklebox box on ADDACs site was previously posted here back in 2009. You can find additional posts including demos of other designs of the Crackle Box here.]

Introducing a limited edition re-release of this iconic electronic instrument in a modular format.

This limited edition of 75 units is a tribute to the pioneering work of Dutch musician and instrument maker Michel Waiswisz (1949 - 2008), who first invented the Cracklebox with Geert Hamelberg in the late 1960s.

The Cracklebox was a small, handheld device designed as a way to explore new sonic territories. It was one of the first electronic musical instruments to use circuit bending techniques in the creation of electronic music. It allowed musicians to manipulate and control electronic circuits in real-time, creating a wide range of unique and experimental sounds. He used a circuit from a toy piano as the basis for the instrument, and then added a series of touch-sensitive pads that were connected to the circuit. When a player touched one of the pads, the circuit would be completed, producing a crackling sound.

The Cracklebox was probably the first commercialy available portable selfpowered alternative 'keyboard' analog electronic instrument with inbuilt loudspeaker.
In the 1970s about 4000 Crackleboxes were built and sold by STEIM in Amsterdam.

Nowadays many people refer to the The Cracklebox as the archetype of 'glitch' or 'circuit bending'.

In the decades since its invention, the Cracklebox has continued to be an important and influential instrument in the world of electronic music. It is still in use today, and is considered a classic example of the potential of electronic music to create unique and innovative sounds.

This Eurorack recreation includes a 9v battery, swappable through the frontpanel, this allows to isolate the current flowing through the user's fingers from the Eurorack frame PSU, protecting the user from undesired electrical shocks. We also removed the internal speaker and used a transformer instead to isolate the output signal.

The output generated can be used as an audio, as a gate or a cv signal, when using it as a cv source, due to the specific qualities of the signal, users may want to send it through other modules as slews, sample and holds, quantizers to tame/control it's peculiar cv output.

Controls:
- The module features an on/off switch to turn off the 9v battery (remember to turn it off when you turn off your Eurorack system).
- A Power Starve knob, reduces the 9v voltage feeding the circuitry changing it's overall timbre/pitch
- An Output Gain knob to control the output volume.
- A Boost switch to add more presence to the signal.

ADDAC System | ADDAC403 VC Time Signature Clock Sources

video upload by DANIELE

"ADDAC403 by ADDAC System: 8 independent trigger outputs and an easy way to incorporate standard time signatures in your eurorack modular system, along with the possibility to generate syncopation, irregular tempo ratios and phasing, all at once!

0:00 Intro
0:59 Beats output, beats p/bar and beat unit
1:26 Bars output and even output
1:45 Odds output
2:07 Divider section
2:59 Swing delay section
4:03 Phasin section
4:50 Tuplets section
5:44 7/4 Time signature
6:18 More functions"

"This is our long due Eurorack Clock module, featuring multiple sections for a combined total of 8 independent trigger outputs.

Introducing standard time signature musical notation along with the possibility to generate syncopation, irregular tempo ratios and phasing all at once in a single straight forward unit.

We started by programming an extremely stable digital clock with over time drift compensation and adjustable to any Beat per Minute [BPM] up to 1 decimal case (from 0.1 to 250.0 BPM). Also implemented a Tap Tempo button and Pingable input for syncing to external clocks using either Soft or Hard [SYNC] modes.

The Time Signature X/Y section defined as [Beats Per Bar] / [Beat Unit] and generating 4 outputs triggering at every: Beat, Bar, Odd Beat (1,3,5...) and Even Beat (2,4,6...).

A [PAUSE] button sets the Pause/Resume state of the clock also allowing different sync methods on Resume.

A [RESET] button resets either each or both the Main and Phasing Clocks

A Divider section can be set to any beat division in Linear (3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) or Exponential mode (1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128)

The Phasing section features a totally independent clock that can run in two modes:
[TEMPO] running at a slower/faster bpm phasing in and out of tempo against the main clock.
[OFFSET] running at the same bpm but offsetted/delayed against the main clock generating a steady syncopated beat.

A Tuplet section allows the generation of Triplets, Quintuplets, Septuplets and Ninelets with adjustable [LENGTH] or Span of the tuplet to any number of Beats from 1 to 16.

4 Modes allow different [TRIGGER] and [MUTE] functionalities: they can run in a loop or one shot mode, [TRIGGER] always triggers/resets the Tuplet and [MUTE] can be set to Gate On or Gate Off. Tuplets always output irregular divisions of the Beat and allow Polybeat generation.

A Swing Delay section allow to delay 1 Beat at [Every X Beats]. The [Delay] knob sets the delay in a fraction of 1 Beat, this section also allows the generation of syncopated beats.

More specific settings can be changed in the [SHOW/MENU], menu functions are labeled in gold.

All sections feature they’re own monitor LEDs.

By default Display shows the current Time Signature status.
Pressing the [SHOW/MENU] button sequentially will display each sections settings.
After 3 seconds it automatically returns to default Time Signature status.

All settings can be saved to a single memory slot, upon startup the memory state will be automatically loaded.

All Knobs and Push-Buttons have their own CV/Trigger inputs except the [BPM] encoder and [SHOW/MENU] button."

"At ADDAC we’re always interested in simple effective solutions for sonic expression, as a by product of a new product development we came up with a simple solution for pedal users.

A special large knob that can replace any pedal knob and allows easy feet control.

This knob is tall enough so that it towers above the remaining pedal knobs, fitting in very tight spaces. At the same time creates enough clearance so that it’s accessible without obstruction and easier to find with your toe.

The side grooves create friction against the shoe.

Sold in packs of 4 Toe Twisters.

ADDAC603 VC Triple Bandpass Filter - Step Through

Published on Dec 4, 2019 ADDAC System

"Here's the Overview video for ADDAC603 VC Triple Bandpass Filter

At ADDAC we’ve been in love with Bandpass Filters for a long time! We use them in several different ways but mostly as dynamic equalisers at the end of an audio chain for ever-changing timbral qualities with slow modulations on frequency and volume. Slightly or drastically changing the character of the incoming sound just by controlling a few parameters and adjusting the modulation speed. And while this method is a personal preference of ours while developing such module we soon realised that some features would give it other aural qualities and so we started by adding a dedicated feedback control so that each filter could self-oscillate while making this control independent from the Bandwidth control. Also added an amplifier x3 or x100 at each of the inputs in order to create soft or hard distortions turning it into a controllable 3 band distortion!"

ADDAC601 VC Fixed Filterbank - Part 2 from ADDAC System on Vimeo.

"Our ADDAC601 Analog Filterbank will have you shaping the spectrum of your sound 'tout de suite'.

With its 8 fixed frequencies, this very special filterbank has two additional features that you won't find anywhere else. Each of the 8 band volumes can be controlled through a linear high performance VCA, which adds great dynamics and new abilities to the art of filtering. Additionally this module also doubles as an envelope follower, with a dedicated CV output per band.

It features numerous output options: you can select between individual bands, the full processed sound, a wet/dry signal and even choose between odd or even frequencies.

Plus you can add up to two different signals, which are mixed internally by the ADDAC601 inputs.

2 audio inputs (audio 1 includes attenuator knob)
Wet/Dry mix knob

8 Independent Bands, each featuring:
. Linear high performance VCA with attenuator/initial knob
. On/Off Switch (defines if band is routed to the Master Outputs)
. Envelope Follower CV Output
. Post VCA Audio Output
. Monitor LED

Main Outputs:
. 1 Wet output
. 1 Wet/Dry output
. 1 Odd frequencies
. 1 Even frequencies

Band distribution:
50 Hz / 110Hz / 220Hz / 500Hz / 1.1kHz / 2.2kHz / 5.2kHz / 11 kHz

Specs:
. Width: 20 HP
. Depth: 5.5 cm
