hexinverter.net ORBITALS step sequencer demo

Published on May 27, 2014 hexinverterDOTnet·26 videos

"Orbitals is a 2x8 or 1x16 step analog sequencer with voltage addressed step select and bipolar voltage output modes. It packs a lot of punch in a very economical package as either a 42HP eurorack modular DIY kit ($279) or fully assembled eurorack module.

Here I demo the module and sequence an ALM/Thonk SID GUTS DIY oscillator and use a Galilean Moons for the VCA/envelope. I also use the upcoming first two Mutant Drums from hexinverter.net: the Mutant Bassdrum and Hihats (demo videos coming shortly!)

Find a modular retailer near you to buy a built eurorack module (June/July 2014!)"

sympleSEQ Now Available

You might remember sympleSEQ from this previous post. Hex Inverter wrote in to let us know their IndieGoGo funding blew past their goal and they are now in production. They also made some significant updates to the feature set.

"What am I talking about? Well, the original concept was VERY minimalistic. There was nothing other than tempo, gate out and CV output. Through the discussion had with members on the forums where this was being developed, people requested pause/reset functionality be included as well. Using a very small amount of components and some trickery, I was able to achieve this -- so now sympleSEQ also boasts the option of adding reset/pause functionality!

Possibly best of all is that I had a panel artist come to me who wants to make panels for everyone!

I have a limited number of kits left in stock, but plenty of bare circuit boards for people. There is a well documented assembly manual for people as well.

sympleSEQ can be found/purchased at: http://shop.hexinverter.net

Panels will be available soon from Ben at: http://www.resynthesis.co.uk

Here is the build manual"


Below is a video of sympleSEQ with a Benjolin.



Benjolin Meets sympleSEQ -- a sequenced analog synthesis jam
YouTube Uploaded by hexinverterDOTnet on Dec 5, 2011

"Rob Hordyk's amazing Benjolin meets hexinverter.net's sympleSEQ for a little jam before they get enclosed in their final enclosure.

Here I am driving the two oscillators and the onboard filter at different times with sympleSEQ, as well as just noodling away on the Benjolin.

sympleSEQ is an easy to make 8-step analog step-sequencer. It utilizes board-mount components and a unique dual PCB design, making it simple to create an analog sequencer for driving your voltage controlled synthesizer gear or circuit bent toys with. It is particularly suited to lo-fi artists due to the low feature set (and thus complexity). It is also very economical to build compared to any other sequencer on the market.

sympleSEQ can be driven by a wide range of voltages (9-15V DC) and thus is highly portable.

hexinverter.net vcNOIZ Voltage Controlled Noise Oscillator w/ Pressure Points

hexinverter.net vcNOIZ Voltage Controlled Noise Oscillator w/ Pressure Points demo

Published on Dec 24, 2012 by hexinverterDOTnet

"vcNOIZ is a voltage controller noise oscillator for analogue modular synthesis. It is capable of providing white noise just like any other noise module, but also features voltage control of the noise pitch and sub-octave outputs which add their own character tone to the noise. The circuitry is entirely analog and uses no microcontrollers. It is a DIY (do it yourself) project as well as a complete assembled eurorack module.

In this short demo clip, one of the noise outputs from vcNOIZ is being frequency modulated by a Make Noise Pressure Points as well as some near audio rate FM from various shape LFOs (which are being mixed at points via the Intellijel PLANAR vector mixer)

Ryk John Miller Thekreator's Liquid High Hat -- A voltage controlled hihat/noise source module

YouTube Published on Jul 27, 2012 by hexinverterDOTnet

"I have been proudly offering Ryk's excellent circuit design as a circuit board that others can build for the past few weeks over at http://www.hexinverter.net , and decided it would be an excellent idea to make this demonstration video for folks!

The module is capable of many different timbres, and is not restricted to hihat sounds. It is made from very commonly available components that most people will already have in their parts stash. PCBs are $15.

hexinverter.net Mutant Bassdrum Demo

Published on May 27, 2014 hexinverterDOTnet·26 videos

"The Mutant Bassdrum is a feature-rich analogue bassdrum derivative of the TR-808. It is a eurorack format module for analog synthesis and will be available in June 2014 as a eurorack module and do it yourself PCB/panel set.

**SORRY FOR THE QUIET VOLUME! I forgot to normalise the audio before exporting :( **
