"Polyphonic drones, light-controlled warping, rhythmic looping - My newest one-off functional art piece, the 'Space Collider.' Built in a vintage snap-on battery testing shell that was modified and flipped upside down. This instrument features a four-channel drone feeding an old circuit bent delay. This resulted in the gnarliest drone machine to date when combined with a joystick-controlled delay to create oscillation squeals, glitch effects, and even looping.

I included a demo from Emily Hopkins. This is for a previous drone machine I made. This one uses the same circuit - going into a delay! So it is a bit more advanced than the one Emily used.

Short demo can be found on my IG page, addpedals. I am also open to trades for guitars if you are local."

Artist Picks: Best Music Gear of 2024 (Part 2)

Check out the accompanying article on our blog, Signal."

"2024 is soon drawing to a close—so, we're taking a look back at the year, and taking account of all of the weird and wonderful instruments that gave us some inspiration this year. Synthesizers, drum machines, and Eurorack modules to samplers and effects, this year had no shortage of inspiring instruments.

So, we reached out to some of our friends and content creators to fill us in on their year, asking one simple question: what was the coolest piece of gear YOU got this year? For some, that meant brand-new releases, but for others, it meant sitting down and digging into classic instruments.

In this video, we hear from:
0:05 Emily Hopkins on the Expressive E Osmose + Vongon Replay
3:36 The Midlife Synthesist on the Arturia Polybrute 12
5:36 Son Wu on the Elektron Octatrack
10:38 Monotrail on the ADDAC507 Random Bézier Waves
13:32 Surco on the Shakmat Battering Ram + OXI Meta

Playing with Parting - Old Blood Noise Endeavors & Emily Hopkins

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"Running a simple bass line through the stunning Parting glitch/ambient machine and exploring the sounds. It's a very touchy feely pedal that's wasted on guitarists and really should be a Eurorack module. Full review coming soon from a synth perspective.
I bought this pedal myself."



"Parting is a box of pleasant surprises. Moments of chance will give bursts of a glitch delay that can smear into a reverb, modulated by tremolo or vibrato, filtered, and, most importantly, dissolved into lofi aliasing or stretched out reverse. All of this may jump around in halves and octaves of itself - it’s up to you and Parting, together.
Controls

Dissolve has two functions. Below noon, it reduces sample rate, creating an increasingly degraded version of the signal. Above noon, it reverses the signal, and repeatedly cuts the reverse clock in half as the knob is turned, creating an increasingly long and degraded reverse.

Rate sets the rate of the modulation LFO, which is also the frequency of triggers for moments of chance.

Depth sets the depth of the LFO.

Shape sets the LFO shape: Sine, Square, Reverse Saw, Saw, Random Sine, Random Square, Envelope

Chance allows random bits of signal to enter the delay/reverb buffer during an LFO cycle.

Smear adds diffusion and feedback to the delay lines, turning them into a lush reverb as the knob is turned up.

Glitch creates various clock subdivisions.

Time sets the timing of the delay/reverb, as well as the reverse.

Filter sets the cutoff point of the post-dissolve filter.

Mix sets the blend of dry and wet signal.

Aux switch for tap tempo, half speed, or preset switching.

Soft-touch On/Off footswitch with relay switching for minimal switch noise"

EF118 Vulcan's Hammer

video upload by electrofaustus

"This device is an accelerometer-controlled oscillator. It works by reading the position along a 180-degree x-axis and translating to a frequency. In the fully back position, the oscillator is at its lowest note – roughly 100hz (or D3 on the musical scale). As you rotate the hammer forward, pitch increases. In this position, the frequency is roughly 2000hz (or B6 on the musical scale). That’s about a 4-octave range. The controls are straightforward: A red push button on/off switch and a knob to control volume. The ¼ inch audio output jack is located at the bottom of the handle. It’s powered by 3 AAA batteries located inside the enclosure that come included in the unit when purchased. They can be easily replaced by unscrewing the base. Vulcan’s Hammer goes on sale today and retails for $200"

Check with dealers on the right for availability.

"Like the Roman God Vulcan, what if you could generate immortal oscillations from a mighty hammer? Ponder no more. Vulcan’s Hammer by Electro-Faustus allows you to call to the Gods by simply rotating the device along a 180 degree field. Note range is roughly 100Hz (D3) to 2000Hz (B6). That’s almost 4 octaves! Powered by 3 AAA batteries.

*Like all of our devices, the Vulcan’s Hammer is noisy and glitchy by design. Have fun with it!"
