DIY Build #1: Music Thing Modular Mikrophonie

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

"Thanks for watching!
Decided to start a new series on this channel, in which I will be building some cool synths, and then in the background of the timelapse, music will be playing featuring that piece of gear that I was building in the video. Let me know in the comments what you all this of this. I am planning on doing some more in the upcoming weeks so don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss those.
I am a noob in DIY synth building, so I decided to start with this basic kit from Music Thing Modular, which all in all took me about 2.5 hours to build, which is quite some time, but I wasn't in rush:) -

Happy New Year From MATRIXSYNTH! - A Look Back at 2014

Happy New Year everyone!

I want to start by thanking everyone that comes to MATRIXSYNTH and helps make it what it is - the readers, the supporters, and of course all the sponsors on the right.

THANK YOU and have a GREAT 2015!!!

This site is a labor of love and a ton of work. This site is ultimately meant to be an testament to everything synth in the making. We have over nine years of daily synth history captured here, 119,983 published posts. I can't wait to see what the future brings us in 2015!

That said, here are a few interesting bits from 2014 in the longest post of the year. ;)

Live Modular Synthesizer + REON Driftbox (@obrienmedia) "Haven Deux"

Published on Aug 30, 2015 Patrick OBrien

"This is the live studio version of the modular synthesizer set I put together for the Analogue Haven event in Santa Monica, CA on August 28, 2015.

All sounds were from my 12U eurorack Modular Synthesizer and the new REON Driftbox-R Limited from Roland.

Specs:

- The intro was played on the REON Driftbox-R which was released in July 2015. You can see two of my demos of that little synth here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMnZU...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcCl4...

- The drums are all Hexinverter's Mutant Bassdrum, Mutant HiHats, Mutant Clap and Noise Engineering's Basimilus Iteritas.

- I played Music Thing's Mikrophonie with my thumb during the song transition with the sounds coming from Braids.

- Sequencing is done by Intellijel's Metropolis, Kilpatrick Audio's K4815, and the Make Noise Pressure Points via Brains.

- The vocal samples near the end is from one of those secret Easter eggs on Mutable Instruments Peaks.

- The case is from Monorocket.

- The T-shirt is in support of my fellow modular synthesist Shiro Fujioka, known as VoltageCtrlr on Instagram. Check out his captivating music, too: https://instagram.com/voltagectrlr

No computers were used in this piece. All modular synths."

"First jam with the Music Thing Mikrophonie. Also the Tinysizer plays with the MicroBrute and the Eurorack triggers the SuperEgo Synth Engine Pedal."

Eurorack Modular Demos by Brandon Logic

Published on Oct 2, 2016 brandon logic

Playlist:
1. Reflex Liveloop use as a sampler demo.

2. Epoch Twin Peak vs the Klangbau Twin Peak filter. Filter sound comparison.

"From 0 to 3:45 i'm filtering a square wave from the Sputnik Oscillator through the Klangbau then through the Epoch. from 3:45 to 8:40 i'm using only triggers from Mutable Instruments Grids into the audio inputs of the filters (and multing to mod a and b of the Epoch). Here, the Epoch is panned hard left and the Klangbau hard right. from 8:40 untill the end, it's back to the sputnik square and some random wiggling of both filters at onece, still panned hard left and right.

Recording is completely dry, no effects or eq. In this demo, i'm using animodule line amp as a buffered mult to split the signal going into the audio input of the epoch to also go into the peak a and peak b mod inputs of the Epoch. This is because this is similar to how the Klangbau's Tr-F1 adn Tr-F2 controls are internally wired. I am using channel two of the line amp to boost the output of the epoch because it tends to output below standard euro modular level. line amp helps boot it normal euro levels. The Epoch requires more patching for this comparison but it also has more cv inputs for modulation and is a little more flexible under cv control and is easier to fine tune with it's knobs compared to the Klangbau's joystick, which make it hard to dial in two specific filter frequencies to track with other oscillators and v/oct, although the joystick is nice for improv and performance . you might notice that the Klangbau sometimes has a little clipping or distortion. from my experience this is part of the character of the the Klangbau version, which can sound nice! it can be controlled to some extent with the input level knob. The Klangbau will consistently self resonate with the resonance all the way up, so it is capable of longer sustaining rings . the Epoch does not self resonate like this without modulation/pings."

3. Glockenspiel vs Modualr adventures in sound.

"here, i'm experimenting with running acoustic sound (glockenspiel and drum) through my synth for both audio processing and triggering sounds and events. the sound runs through the 4ms spectral multiband resonator to convert the audio into envelopes which are then converted to triggers to fire sounds in the synth and trigger random voltages (wogglebug, ura, a-149 and turing machine) which create the variety of sounds you hear. I'm using the 4ms dual dealy to create the loops. the glockenspiel loop is then going through the reflex liveloop to create the glitchy delay and pitch shifting effects. the drum loops its going the warps parasites dealy and then to clouds for more audio manipulations."

4. modular sketch 6-30-16 4ms dld dual looping delay and mutable instruments rings patch

5. First 4ms dual looping delay patch - thumb piano - sound on sound loop and manual delay manipulation

6. Modular evolving random patch in progress

"jamming in real time, not quantized to a clock so pardon the imperfections.

Why We Bleep Podcast 005: Olivier Gillet - Mutable Instruments

Published on May 31, 2018 mylarmelodies

You can find a handful of posts featuring Olivier Gillet's chocopoolp for Palm OS here.

"Thanks to episode sponsors Signal Sounds: http://signalsounds.com ! This month I'm very excited to present a chat with perhaps one of the most mysterious and well-respected characters in the Eurorack world - Olivier Gillet of Mutable Instruments.

In it we discuss his route into music technology, his module development process, the importance of daydreaming, and some quite surprising facts regarding the size of his company, and much more besides.

Mutable Music Things - Ears

Published on Sep 16, 2016 DivKidVideo

"The new collaboration between Mutable Instruments and Music Thing Modular has everyone excited and here's the new module! Ears is a new version of the Mikrophonie with added gate output and envelope follower.

The video goes through features, patches, jumper settings, interfacing with a guitar and drum machine (separate patches) and playing with an electric toothbrush. Be careful and avoid the taste of contact mic in your mouth! ;-)"
