eowave quadrantid swarm - experimental touch synthesizer now on Kickstarter

eowave quadrantid swarm is now on Kickstarter, with a ship date of March/April. The following are the details from the campaign:

"The Quadrantid Swarm

The Quadrantid Swarm is a desktop touch synthesizer aimed at sound designers and musicians who are looking for an expressive tool to explore rich and unusual soundscapes with a direct intuitive approach.

Past research and development at eowave has contributed to a range of successful products aimed at musicians and performers - including sensor interfaces, MIDI devices, modular synthesizers and more. This has been honed and distilled in the Quadrantid Swarm. It is an instrument that has been designed openly - to be used with MIDI, alongside your modular synthesizer/CV sequencer or to be explored as a standalone drone/sequencer/generative synthesizer.

Modes

The QS now features 8 modes. Each should be considered a springboard for musical exploration, rather than a preset. The modes are not direct emulations of existing instruments, but they borrow on inspiration from their namesakes. We found that this was the best way to retain the immediacy of function per button design while offering a generous feature set. The QS will ship with a cheat sheet that details the specifics behind each mode - the waveform, perc sound and character effect.

Organ - Strings - Drone - Noise - Grains - Perc - Metal - Chiptune

Let's take a closer look...

Front panel

Building on the feedback we received at Superbooth 17, we have redesigned the front panel to be easier to read. This matte black PCB pictured below is the final material we will be using on production, although there is a mistake on this panel that will be rectified (white layer inverted!).

Oscillator

The oscillator section is a digital wave generator. In sequencer mode (activated when you push start) the spread control multiplies the waveform up to 8 waveforms. In live mode (sequencer not active) the spread control will not affect the oscillator because the 8 waveforms are spread across the touch keyboard to be used as a simple polyphonic synthesizer. Character controls a different effect or folder depending on the mode. The character effects/folders will help you design timbres that will range from clean and glassy to dense and distorted.

Modular Techno Noodle with TD-3MO + Quadrantid Swarm + Palette Case

video upload by Honeysmack

"Little experimental and improvised techno noodle. Exploring some of the CV i/o on the Behringer TD-3MO with EO Waves Quadrantid Swarm (techno-in-a-box) and a small 62hp modular set up with the Intellijel Palette Case providing the drum sounds. Everything was clocked from the Malekko Varigate 4+ sequencer. Nothing too serious here.

Gear used:
Behringer TD-3 MO AM version (acid!)
EO Wave Quadrantid Swarm (poly rhythmic melody)

Eurorack modules used:
Malekko Varigate 4+ (main sequencer)
Audio Damage Neuron (kick drum)
Intellijel Plonk (reverberated percussion/snare)
Busy Circuits MUM M8
Make Noise Function
Noise Engineering Lapsus Os
Intellijel Noise Tools

Some subtle effects (off camera):

Techno with the Quadrantid Swarm, Octatrack and TR-909

video by Honeysmack

"Little improv with the Quadrantid Swarm after showing it to Mr Rachele. This little box is pure techno! Supported by the Octatrack, TR-909, MachineDrum all running through the amazing Model1 mixer. Octatrack is live sampling the Swarm and other modular synth bits. All one single take, nothing serious."

10 Quadrantid Swarm patches No talking (eurorack synthesizer music)

video upload by Polythingies

"This is a begining, here are 10 patch made with the eowave quadrantid swarm, using its midi capabilities and its weird and funny sound and crispy analog filters.

All the patches are unmodified (no effect, compressor or additional sound so there is a lot of dynamic). The synthesizer is recorded with a rme fireface so what you listen is just the raw synth.

Don't know the names so help me to find some in the comments. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :)

You can get here the midi files here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Cheers and stay tuned!

Ghost - Endorphin.es and Andrew Huang New FX module - Sonic Lab Review

video upload by sonicstate

"Collabs are all the rage these days, and this one comes from a meeting of Endorphin.es and massive Youtuber/Producer Andrew Huang. Ghost is a multi-function effects and processing module, with delay, filtering, reverb, sidechaining and distortion, but not necessarily in that order - its, fluid due to some nifty DSP work from Endorphin.es.

Modular performer and producer, MATTHS (aka Matt Hodson) takes a look."

"So Andrew Huang and Endorphines collaborated on a unique stereo multi-effect delay/reverb/filter/distortion/compressor called GHOST. They sent me one, and here's a ponderous demo/techno jam of it as an end-of-chain finisher for a Quadrantid Swarm (which it does rather well), with a cameo from Andrew. Commence the ghostlyjams."

Chords with the Quadrantid Swarm

Published on Nov 9, 2017 eowave

"In keyboard mode, the Quadrantid Swarm can play 8 notes of simple polyphony, one for each key. This video shows some badly played chords and melody on the 'String' instrument, without any of the wave folder so you get an idea of the oscillator sound. I am shaping the sound with the two filters, plus ping the resonance and sweeping the resonance to demonstrate the timbres that are hiding within"

First Month with Soma Pulsar-23: compilation of improvised pieces

video upload by Honeysmack

"An assortment of 7 short improvised clips with the Soma Pulsar-23, all very techno, all with different configurations of gear. There's lot's to be said about the Pulsar-23, it is one of the most expressive machines I've come across in recent times. There is always something new to explore each time I turn it on. As an improvisational tool, this is amazing. Okay I'll stop gushing, you get my point. Vlad Kreimer is a genius and I put him in the same company as Don Buchla, Bob Moog, Roger Linn, Dave Smith and Tom Oberheim.

Each clip is recorded in a single take, with no editing or post production. I used a variety of clock sources and sequencers as indicated below. Some sections get rather crunchy and distorted, sorry! Pulsar23 runs into a Playdifferently Model1 mixer, that runs through an Elektron Analog Heat as the master bus.

00:00 Clip1 - Using internal clock source and looper-recorders, exploring kick and modulating effects.
02:10 Clip2 - Quadrantid Swarm audio running through the Pulsar23 and also modulated by the Pulsar. Beat Step Pro is the main sequencer.
03:52 Clip3 - Funky Techno with Beat Step Pro sequencing the Pulsar via MIDI.
06:21 Clip4 - Harder Techno jam with Beat Step Pro sequencing the Pulsar via MIDI.
07:08 Clip5 - TB-303 running through the Pulsar effects and filters.
10:04 Clip6 - Integrating with a Eurorack rack, using a combination of clock sources and Pulsar's looper-recorders. Crunchy and noisey!
10:56 Clip7 - Straight up Techno jam!

Gear featured in these clips:
Soma Pulsar-23
Arturia Beat Step Pro
Roland TB-303
EO Wave Quadrantid Swarm
Eurorack modular
Playdifferently Model1 DJ mixer
Elektron Analog Heat MkI

"The Quandrantid Swarm is a digital synthesizer that features a percussive element to give it a unique sound. It contains a two-pole analog filter, an LFO with eight waveforms, and a spring reverb. The eight touch keys can be used as a mono keyboard, polyphonic keyboard or an eight-step sequencer. The Quandrantid Swarm has MIDI and CV/Trig connectivity. Its normalized pre-patching allows you start creating immediately, but its semi-modular design allows you to use patch cables to explore the potential of this instrument. Includes original power supply and manual."

Quadrantid Swarm meets Make Noise 0 Coast

Published on Dec 5, 2017 eowave

"A demo of the 'Metal' instrument on the Quadrantid Swarms, which is playing the longer resonating sounds. The 0 Coast is the shorter percussive stabs.

The 'Metal' mode features 9 VCO's, 8 as per the other instrument models, and one to modulate them all. The character control then becomes the speed of VCO 9. You can use slower modulation speeds for resonating timbres which sound like bowed metal, as featured in this demo.

The square output of the LFO is triggering the gate input of the 0 coast, so the two are synced in a simple way for a generative type patch.
