Getting Started with Quantizers in Eurorack

video upload by Noise Engineering

"A quantizer takes control voltage and maps it to musical notes, making it easy to create melodies that stay in tune.

This video is part of our Getting Started blog post:
https://noiseengineering.us/blogs/loq...

Gamut Repetitor is a great example of quantization in action.

Here, Gamut is generating a n evolving melody. Every voltage it creates is quantized, so each note stays within one of 27 different scales. Change the scale or note range using the three switches, Spread, and Down/Up controls, and the melody takes on a different character while remaining musical.

Quantization isn't limited to traditional Western scales, either.

Here, Mimetic Digitwolis is set to generate microtonal notes. Instead of quantizing to the familiar 12-note scale, it snaps voltages to a different tuning system, opening the door to entirely new melodic possibilities while still keeping the notes intentionally related.

Quantizers aren't just for sequencers, though.

Any control voltage can be quantized. That means random voltages, LFOs, or analog sequencers can all become musical pitch sequences by snapping their voltages to specific notes.

That's what makes quantizers such an essential utility in Eurorack. They let you experiment freely while keeping your melodies in tune, whether you're writing traditional sequences, exploring microtonality, or creating generative music.

Billy Joel's Minimoog Joins the Bob Moog Foundation Archives

"A Minimoog Model D used by Billy Joel has a new home in the Bob Moog Foundation Archives!

Imagine the melodies, rehearsals, and performances that might be part of its history. Accompanied by a letter signed by Joel confirming its use 'on tour and/or in the studio,' this instrument offers a tangible connection to one of popular music’s most celebrated songwriters and performers.

Collector Eric Crawley generously donated the Minimoog so that more people could enjoy it. After years of playing it and sharing it at synthesizer events, he has entrusted its next chapter to the Bob Moog Foundation. Read more about Billy Joel's Minimoog ➞
Now, you can see it for yourself. Billy Joel’s Minimoog will be on view at the Moogseum November 12-16, 2026, during 'Minimoog Through the Ages,' alongside other remarkable instruments with stories of their own."

Two independent trigger sequencers create complex, ever-shifting rhythmic patterns, while the versatile patchbay and Eurorack compatibility open up endless possibilities for sonic exploration, whether as a standalone instrument or part of a modular system."

A Golden Era of Drums in One Machine | Behringer Introduces the RD-765

video upload by Behringer

"Introducing the RD-765, a Drum Machine that packs a decade of classic Drum Machines into one box. A Hybrid drum machine with 176 drum sounds, sample recording, a 64-step sequencer and a dual-mode analogue filter.

Join Patrick as he jams it up and goes through it's features."

"RD-765
Hybrid drum machine with 176 drum sounds, sample recording, a 64-step sequencer and a dual-mode analogue filter

Classic drum sounds, plus the ones you record yourself.
The groove is nearly there. The kick sits right, but the snare needs a sound nobody else has. With the RD-765, you record that sound yourself and give it a channel in the kit.

176 sounds and your own samples
The RD-765 holds 176 drum sounds. Record new samples through the user sampling menu and assign them to an instrument channel. Tune any sample over a range of 24 semitones up or down.

Shape every hit
The Wave Designer attack control adds punch to the initial transient. The dual-mode analogue filter runs as low-pass or high-pass, and you can assign it to single voices. A bitcrusher lowers the bit depth of samples when you want grit.

Write patterns your way
Play beats in real time or set them step by step, across up to 64 steps. Swing runs from 25 to 75. A per-voice probability setting lets notes come and go, so a pattern keeps moving. Record filter cutoff moves into the pattern as you play. MIDI and USB link the RD-765 to the rest of your setup."

GIO-1, a sneak peek. Moroder in a box? M-VAVE FM-1 firmware.

video upload by Guinan

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

0:00 How we got here?
2:59 Hear how it sounds

"I've checked out DUB-1 and NACHTFAHRT - here's my take on the idea. The inspiration this time is the 'father of disco', Giovanni Giorgio Moroder.

It's time to relive the futuristic electronic disco sounds of the '70s, '80s and '90s with GIO-1, new firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1. It is generative: it writes music in these styles as it plays. Pick a song, play along on the keys and let the lead answer you, drop in effects, and nudge it in the direction your feelings take you. Try all 9 presets. Feel love and enjoy!

This is at a very early stage (think of it as PRE-Alpha) - although the firmware is installable on the website below I would not recommend it unless you are very experienced. Only TWO FM-1s have had this installed so far - they lived to tell the tale and have since installed other firmware and gone back again to GIO-1. The firmware was built at all stages to try and avoid bricking devices. Your mileage however may vary.

Instead go to the website and have a play with the TRY IT section.

OBERHEIM MATRIX-1000

Six-voice analog rack from 1987 with 1000 patches, built around the Curtis CEM3396 voice chip. The core runs the original firmware on an emulated Motorola 6809 board, which drives six CEM3396 voice models oversampled 2x. Banks 2 to 9 are read from the patch EPROM, all 96 patch parameters are mapped to MIDI CC, and both LFOs can sync to the host tempo or MIDI clock.

The sky can't see

video upload by MIDERA

"I don't even know anymore. I haven't written anything in over a month, and that was after losing my dog. We adopted a new dog, Coco. She's a nut... But I don't feel like me. I don't want to write music or write my book. I think I just know it'll never be heard/read/seen/etc... maybe just shallow, you know?

And then, my kids... I feel like our lives are just passing us by and I'm barely conscious for it. Everything is moving too fast and I can't catch it, I can't hold it.

I want to slow down, to be there with them, to connect, but it all happens so fast.

Well, anyway, I did a trade - I traded my SK-30, Prophet 600, and OB-6 for my old PEK (I traded this for some other gear too)... and I think I'm glad I did. I really like the Poly Evolver Keyboard. And playing this confirmed it for me. It's a really nice synth. I think I connect with it more than I ever did the OB-6. Maybe that's weird? I don't know. I have been absent from my music for so long, I don't even know what any of it means anymore.
