Skiff 1.3 for the M-VAVE FM-1: two cores, 12 voices, MIDI LEARN (what's new)

video upload by Skiff

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

Update: new videos added below.

"Skiff 1.3 is out: free, open-source firmware that turns the M-VAVE FM-1 into a six-track groovebox. This video shows what's new in 1.3, set to one song made on it: the FM-1's second core (BETA: 12 voices at once instead of 8), MIDI LEARN and a MIDI channel per track, an INSERT effect on every track, LFO sync, and more from Felucca 1.2 to 1.6.1.

Everything you hear is Skiff 1.3's own code playing that song: the firmware's source, run on a computer so the sound and the screens line up to the frame. Every sound comes from its engines, and every knob turn, mute, MIDI message and effect shown is performed in the firmware. Nothing was added afterwards; only the overall level was set. Every FM-1 screen shown is Skiff's own display, not a mock-up; the MIDI controller is a drawing of the messages the firmware received. A computer has no FM-1 second core, so the run renders those tracks itself with the two-core voice budget; Skiff's tests show the sound is bit for bit the same either way. The CPU figure on screen (60–63 %) was measured on an FM-1 playing six such tracks.

Press release follows:

Make Noise is proud to announce: New Universal Skiff System, MultiWave MIDI Inlet Module, N.U.S.S Bundle and 2-Zone Skiff! More information below!

The New Universal Skiff System music synthesizer is a small system devoted to multi-channel modular synthesis, using control voltages to create poliphonic sound events. The MultiWAVE provides eight dual wavetable oscillators, the PoliMATHS provides eight complex function generators, and a pair of QXG modules combine for eight channels of low pass gate with stereo mix animation. Together, these three modules enable poliphonic patching from a simple set of controls. In addition to the 8 channels of Polimaths for modulation, the MultiMod creates eight time-shifted variants of a single control signal, for even deeper modulation capabilities within the New Universal Skiff System. QPAS provides Multi-Mode Multi-Peak Stereo Filtering, and the XOH provides a final stereo mix and line-level or headphone outputs for monitoring and/or performance. The system also includes a USB-C input that can be used for Activation of MultiWAVE channels via MIDI or MPE signals from a USB MIDI host (such as a computer running a DAW or MIDI sequencer).

2-Zone Skiff
In 2009, Tony designed the first Skiff to complement the vertically oriented Doepfer P6 cases available at the time by providing an ergonomic enclosure for our René and Pressure Points touch controllers. These early skiffs were shallow, handcrafted wood designs. In 2015, a revised aluminum 3U Make Noise Skiff was released. This new design had enough depth to fit a wide range of modules, providing a smart way to build a small modular synthesizer.

Now, the Skiff has been updated again, this time to meet the more demanding power standards of today, with the 2-Zone Bus Board providing nearly double the power of its predecessor, plus the multi-zone design making it easy to isolate noise-susceptible or noise-causing modules from each other. The low-profile power headers are shrouded for easy and efficient module installation.
As before, the Skiff’s powder-coated aluminum construction is extremely durable. The clean, simple lines and matte black color place visual emphasis where the action is; the patch the artist has created.
Ships ready to use. Just add modules, patch cables, and inspiration.

TIPTOP AUDIO HAPPY ENDING KIT TO SKIFF CONVERSION

TIPTOP AUDIO HAPPY ENDING KIT TO SKIFF CONVERSION from Station 252 on Vimeo.

"In December 2010 Tiptop Audio released Happy Ending Kit that made affordable all in one (power module, rails, rack ears and PSU) entry into eurorack a reality. Those of us who lived way outside the eurorack supply center like Berlin ordering a case was very expensive. I already had a Modular World case, but anything else was not an option and by the time I wanted to expand MW went out of business. So for me HEK was a blessing. Later on I bought two extra uZeus power modules as I wanted to try and build my own case but installing bus boards and sourcing power supplies wasn't something I wanted to do. So again uZeus and Z Rails were an easy and a very affordable solution. As it turned out I didn't need the third uZeus as one was enough to power my 6U DIY case. At some point I had the possibility to get the big second hand Doepfer Monster case from SchneidersLaden that a friend brought on a plane (100 euros overweight). At that point I sold my HEK, rails and the two uZeuses.

Make Noise Maple Skiff w/ DIN-Power

via this auction

"The Make Noise Skiff is a slim performance oriented case for Eurorack format synthesizer modules. It is 84 HP and has an internal depth of just 4,5 cm and utilizes flexible ribbon style power distribution to conserve space. The case was designed to house the Make Noise Pressure Points, Brains and René performance modules but other slender modules will fit.

The Skiff takes power from a master system case via the included 4 HP power module. This 4 HP power module is installed in the master case just as you would install the typical Eurorack format module. A 5 pin din cable (midi cable, not included) is used to carry power from the master system to the Skiff so it may be placed anywhere near the master system case, thus making the Skiff a convenient spot for controller modules."

Ebashi Audio Eurorack Modules Including Dual Aries PMS 338 PP

Ebashi Audio CMOS 7555 CORE VCO /259 Timbre EXP /Triple LFO First touch ( no talking ) video upload by Dziam Bass

Ebashi Audio is a new maker of eurorack modules. You'll find their modules further below, including one based on the vintage Aries PMS-338 VCO. Note Nonlinear Circuits made one as well. The above video features the CMOS 7555 CORE VCO, 259 Timbre EXP, and Triple LFO (pics and descriptions for each further below).

Video description:

"It features Linear AC and Exponential FM inputs with attenuators, one Hard Sync input and a 1V / Octave tacking input, output and offset switch.

Connecting a signal to the EXP FM input will change the pitch of the oscillator.

The H-Sync and FM functions produce a full sound, and it octave tracks very well.

This VCO features four waveforms: Sine, Triangle, Ramp and Pulse wave.

There are trimpots for 1Volt / Octave tuning, High Frequency tracking, and Ramp wave connection. There are two trimpots for the sine wave: one for roundness and one for symmetry. The roundness trimmer also adjusts the amplitude of the sine wave a little.

Parameters are already set. If you would like to adjust these you can do it by ear or using an oscilloscope.

This 7555 VCO also features a 3-way switch providing 3 frequency ranges: MID, VCO and LFO.

The back of the module allows you to ‘pre patch’ various functions.

The Ebashi 259 Timbre module is a dual wavefolder inspired by the famous Timbre section of the Buchla 259 oscillator as implemented in the Easel.

There are four CV inputs, the first and fourth can be controlled with an attenuverter.

Two IN attenuators control the overall wavefold amount of each wavefolder.

Two inputs allow two oscillators to drive the Dual 295 Buchla Timbre simultaneously.

A switch enables the rich timbres of both wavefolders to be shaped in series or parallel.

A triple low frequency oscillator that provides manually variable wave shapes in a wide range of frequencies.

Two waveforms are available: triangle, and square wave.

Rate and Depth of each LFO can be adjusted and an independent 3-way switch provides 3 frequency ranges: MID, VCO or LFO.

The module also offers three outputs (A, B & C) which can be conveniently mixed down and out.

The back of the module allows you to ‘pre patch’ each of the four outputs.
The back of the module allows you to ‘pre patch’ various functions, including CV 1 and 4 as well as both inputs and outputs. There are also two trimpots for gain adjustment."

YouTube Published on May 21, 2012 by ISOTROPOSPHERE

I spy a MATRIXSYNTH card. :) Is that an SS Impala badge on Technosaurus blue panel?

"This is a small jam showcasing my recently finished DFMZ-4 modular synth skiff.

This is the second skiff I have built and the first, DFMZ-3, is also shown here because I added a Camaro SS badge to it and wanted to show it off too.

The DFMZ-4 features purpleheart wood end cheeks, Tip Top black rails, a Flight of Harmony Power module feeding a Monorocket distribution board. Sheet metal case with a custom painted finish.

If you notice, the Purpleheart is thinner and taller than the Mahogany cheeks used for my first skiff. Any questions about building one of your own please contact me.

Synthrotek Cheeks of STEEL

Published on Sep 21, 2016 synthrotek

"Cheeks of STEEL are made from heavy-duty 12 gauge powder-coated steel. They can be oriented two ways, and they are super rigid either way - no rear support bracket needed.

We designed these cheeks with our Skiff Boats in mind. If you already have our Skiff Boats, you can remove the wood cheek ends and mount them into the steel cheeks. The Cheeks of Steel use a different kind of rail-mounting screw than the Skiff Boats, so we include pan head screws whether you purchase rails or not.

Though originally designed for use with our Skiff Boats, Cheeks of STEEL with rails have a great industrial look by themselves.

Two New Modules from Intelijel - uVCF & PLANAR

via Intelijel

"The uVCF is a very clean and precise SVF filter that can also be used as a Sine VCO.

This is another great David Dixon filter design that has been on the workbench for a while. It is a very clean and precise filter that also doubles as an excellent sine VCO.

It responds very well to FM and the small size should make it a nice choice for smaller systems/lunchboxes.

-6hp
-skiff friendly
-low pass (LPF) 2-pole , high pass (HPF) 2-pole and bandpass outputs (BPF) 1-pole.
-FM1 input acts as 1V/Oct when full CW
-FM2 input has a bipolar attenuator
-At full Q you get very low distortion sinewaves with a range of 2Hz to 20Khz
-Skiff friendly
-MSRP $160

In production and will ship within two weeks."

Discussion on Muff's here.

"The PLANAR is a 14hp vector mixer / quad panner with a bunch of useful features.Very fun to play with! Both shipping within two weeks.

This module has been in development for almost a year.
Thanks to David for his ingenious way of implementing the vector mixing (among other things in the design) and Haven for coming up with the name and some great feature ideas.

This has to be one of the most fun modules we have ever played with! With just a few audio and CV sources and some interdependencies (i.e use the Joystick CV to simultaneously modify the signals being processed by the VCAs) you quickly get highly complex sounds that you can easily control and play with.

Features:
-Vector mixing: put up to four sources into inputs A, B, C and D and then use the joystick to create the vector mix. Positioning the joystick in any corner will isolate that particular source. Putting the joystick in the center will create an even blend of all four sources. Resulting mix is taken from the MIX output.

-Quad Panning: Plug one source into input A and steer it to outputs A, B, C, D. You can also do stereo panning by just using a pair of outputs.

-SENSE gate output. This is a slew detector which means the gate is only active when you are moving the joystick. Excellent for driving envelopes/VCAs to coordinate so that the output mix is only heard/used when the joystick is being moved.

-Manual gate output: pushbutton to manually trigger a second gate output

-CV outputs: The joystick produces either unipolar (0-5V) or bipolar (-5 to +5V) switchable outputs.

-CV Inputs: The module accepts X and Y axis inputs. By using out of phase LFO sources (such as outputs from the Dr. Octature) you can create really interesting swirling/circular patterns.

This input is also very useful when coordinated with a CV recorder. You can record the modulation from the X, Y outputs and then turn the joystick off (see switch at top left) and playback the modulation into the X and Y input.
This will allow you to recreate a complex quad panning or vector mixing jam.

REVERSIBLE! The module will ship with a second faceplate that is designed to mounted upside down (so joystick is at the bottom) and there are jumpers on the back of the module so you can coordinate the reversed orientation of the joystick. This is to facilitate use in a skiff.
*I will post photos of the reverse faceplates when they arrive next week.

Short video demo just showing the light show.

Audio demo will be posted later tonight.

These are almost complete in production. Ready to ship by next week!
The joysticks used are very expensive and have a long lead time (plus large minimum order). As a result this batch is going to be kind of limited.

MSRP $340. 14hp skiff friendly"

New Eurorack Modules from Bubblesound Instruments

Four new modules from bubblesound:

The HEXa(s)r envelope generator,
HEXvca (6 VCA module),
Booster Stage amplifier,
and Reducer de-amplifier.

Details follow for each. Bubblesound modules are available at Control, Perfect Circuit Audio, Signal Sounds, and other dealers listed on their website.

HEXa(s)r

The HEXa(s)r is a 9HP module with 6 independent AR/ASR envelope generators and 3 mixer sections for a total of 9 outputs, giving users a huge amount of modulation options with a very small footprint making this the most versatile and flexible envelope generator in the eurorack world. Plus it’s skiff friendly and light on power consumption.

Each envelope generator has a gate input and can either be an Attack/Release or Attack/Sustain/Release. In AR mode the incoming gate is turned into a trigger giving you a simple Attack and Release, perfect for drum synthesis and simple modulation or control over VCAs. In ASR mode the length of the Sustain is controlled by the length of the gate. This makes using an LFO’s modulated Pulse Width output or a sequencer with variable gate length perfect for creating envelopes with changing sustain times, breathing life and variation to whatever the HEXa(s)r is modulating. The LEDs are tied to the output to give users visual feedback on each EG.

The HEXa(s)r can use gates (0-8/10V) or a +-5V to trigger the envelopes. It can accept trigger inputs as well, but when using a trigger in ASR mode there will be almost no sustain as the duration of triggers is very short, usually around 5-10 milliseconds.

The Gates in of the HEXa(s)r are normalized so one gate into EG1 will trigger all 6 envelopes. Each envelope generator can then be set to either AR or ASR mode. OIr you can use the output of one EG to trigger another EG. This can be used to make a type of gate delay for individual outputs or complex rhythm or modulation effects from the Mix output section.

The Mixer section has 3 parts, EG 1-3, 4-6 and All. By using multiple gates and triggering some EGs from other EGs the mix out section can create some unexpected modulation options or very controlled rhythmic outputs. It all depends on what you put into it.

There is a header on the back and included 6 pin ribbon cable that will allow the HEXa(s)r to connect with the upcoming HEXvca without using patch cables.

Details:
6 independent EGs. Attack and Release times are around 4 seconds each
Normalized Gates
30MM deep, single PCB skiff friendly design
Output Level: 0-10V
Interconnectable via supplied ribbon cable to the HEXvca
Power Consumption: 50mA positive, 40mA negative
9HP

Noise Engineering announces Case of Steel, a 64 HP Eurorack Skiff with Busboard Power and Mults

Press release follows:

Noise Engineering announces Case of Steel, a 64 HP Eurorack Skiff with Integrated Busboard Power and Mults

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their versatile Eurorack modules, has released Case of Steel, a skiff designed to house and power 64 HP of Eurorack modules.

While Noise Engineering has spent the last decade creating innovative modules, this is their first time releasing a standalone case. And while the market for cases large and small has grown significantly, Noise Engineering’s design still stands out with some innovative design choices and unique construction.

As the name implies, the case is made entirely of steel, with mounting holes tapped directly into the steel frame. This ensures that modules stay put, and the weight of the case keeps it in place while in use, despite its compact size. A pair of passive mults installed on the bottom of the case aids in patching, and saves HP in a small system. And while some skiffs are particularly shallow, Case of Steel offers over 2” of depth for modules, housing all but the deepest Eurorack designs for unmatched flexibility.

Case of Steel also features an integrated power supply. A power switch on the back of the case turns on the system, and power is delivered via a real busboard installed under the row of mults – no flying bus cables here. Despite the case’s compact size, the power specs are no joke: two zones of +12V offering 850mA each, plus 750mA of -12V and 1A of +5V. In a 64 HP system, it’ll be difficult to reach those limits. Case of Steel has a built-in power switch, and ships with a power brick, too.

For the production of Case of Steel, Noise Engineering worked with a metal fabricator near their headquarters, showing off the awesome capabilities of the Los Angeles maker community.

Due to the complexity of distribution, coupled with its unique materials and design, a limited run of just 90 cases has been produced, and will be sold exclusively through Noise Engineering’s web shop.

Case of Steel is a robust and powerful solution for Eurorack synthesists, no matter where they are in their journey.

Case of Steel begins shipping on February 19th only at https://noiseengineering.us.

Features
• Black powder coated steel design: solid case stays put while you patch
• Two sets of passive mults make patching easy
• Integrated busboard power supply with switch
• Bespoke Noise Engineering power supply with two zones of +12V offering 850mA each, plus 750mA of -12V and 1A of +5V
• Includes power brick

Availability and pricing:
Case of Steel: In stock. Shipping from Noise Engineering starting February 19th, 2026; MSRP US$225

New Make Noise Skiff with Illuminated Logo

via Make Noise, via @ctrl_mod and @ControlVoltage_

"In 2009 Tony designed the first Skiff to complement the vertically oriented cases available at the time by providing an ergonomic enclosure for our René and Pressure Points touch controllers.

Today the Make Noise Skiff provides a smart way to build a small modular synthesizer. It is low cost, but extremely durable. The clean simple lines and matte black color place visual emphasis where the action is; the patch the artist has created. At one side there is a power button and the Make Noise logo is illuminated to show the power is ON.

Ships ready to use. Just add modules, patch cables and inspiration.
