Dave Rossum Joins Bob Moog Foundation Board of Directors

via The Bob Moog Foundation

"We are thrilled to welcome synthesizer pioneer Dave Rossum to the Board of Directors of the Bob Moog Foundation, the governing body our organization. Many of you know of Dave from his early days at E-mu Systems, and his more recent work through Rossum Electro-Music, but his work extends far beyond the companies that he has created. Dave's work in SSM chip design can be heard in the Prophet 5, Korg Polysix, Korg Mono/Poly, Fairlight II, PPG Wave 2, and many others. He also invented the polyphonic synthesizer keyboard.

Dave brings with him a wealth of creative and business expertise that will help drive the work of the Bob Moog Foundation forward. You can read more HERE."

Kenji Kawai | Crafting narrative-driven scores with Analog Lab & Pigments

video upload by Arturia

"Across four decades and a constellation of landmark works including Ghost in the Shell, Ring, and Patlabor, Kenji Kawai has carved a singular path through film and anime music. He combines orchestral gravitas, electronic atmosphere, and narrative-driven sound design into scores that are inseparable from each film's identity.

We spent a day with Kawai in his Tokyo studio, observing how his hybrid workflow unfolds. From early sketches in Analog Lab to the final mixdown, his attention to detail is reflected every step of the way."

"The voyage is coming to an end! Today Francesco guides us through a captivating electroacoustic piece that integrates the sound and articulation of an electric piano into a complex patch. The piece is not simply a juxtaposition of piano and synthesizer, but rather a balanced environment where the acoustic and electronic sounds complement and influence each other."

INCONSPICUOUS: 100 more Presets for Infiltrator

"databroth.gumroad.com/l/inconspicuous
https://www.databroth.com/blog/incons...

INCONSPICUOUS is my third pack for Infiltrator, following INCOHERENCE and INCOGNIZANCE, Inconspicuous has less of a focus overt and destructive remixing and instead prioritizes more subtle and and transformational motion.

In my previous two packs, the incoming audio could end up being completely unrecognizable sometimes, this pack takes care to transform your sound while still leaving the underlying musical concepts in tact (for the most part). As the name suggests, these presets are a bit less "conspicuous" than the others, though still representing my personal flavors and sound design concepts.

Divergent Waves Sycamore playing Four Seas and Friends

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"A quick demo of my newly built Sycamore melody generator. It's running into the Four Seas wavetable thingy, which is being filtered via the Riot VCF, into the Trifecta effects. Meanwhile an Ona VCO is pumping the second channel through a Gemini Vintage filter. There's some modulation too!"
Divergent Waves - Sycamore Demo

video upload by Divergent Waves Mar 1, 2024

"Sycamore is a looping, quantized, randomised sequencer with 45 scales to choose from, as well as a few tricks up its sleeve...

Sycamore is based on the (Cancelled) Mutable Instruments Seeds module, which itself was likely an exploration of Turing Machine like sequencing with a little more control."

"Sycamore is a random looping sequencer with quantization and a wide range of scales. The quantized loop can be shifted, mutated, tweaked and otherwise fiddled with in a number of interesting ways.

With CV over almost all the internal parameters, Sycamore allows for tight control over the loop, while maintaining performability with comfortably spaced knobs.

Some advanced features are accessible through a one-layer menu to allow for more deep tweaking of harmonies, delay, and scale quantization - however, Sycamore is perfectly usable without touching these at all!

Sycamore makes use of CircuitPython for its program code, allowing for easy modification and tweaking should you wish to do so. The module also features an i2c expansion port reserved for future use, or for you own hacking.

Patching Panda Rewire | A very clever switch and signal router

video upload by Tom Churchill

"Patching Panda’s Rewire is a fresh take on a 4-by-4 rotating sequential switch, with built-in attenuverters, a voltage-controllable clock divider, and some clever ways to control the switching. This video is sponsored by Patching Panda, and in it I run through Rewire’s panel and controls before breaking down seven patch examples."

Chapters:
00:00 Intro & patch previews
02:27 Rewire overview
04:04 Re-routing sequences
09:25 Switching FX chains
11:18 Switching filter outputs
12:53 Switching trigger patterns
15:26 Rewire as a sequencer
19:59 Rewire as a graphic VCO
23:31 Rewire as a modulation routing hub

REWIRE is not only a 4×4 sequential switch but a signal router that lets you rewire your modular patch on the fly without ever touching a cable. Designed for dynamic signal flow, generative mayhem and performance precision, REWIRE gives you four inputs and four independent outputs, each with level control, switching logic and real time manipulation.

Whether you’re routing audio, CV, or triggers, REWIRE transforms your system into a living, shifting network of connections. Clocked, resettable, shiftable and divisible, this isn’t just a switch it’s a patch programmer, a performance brain and a creative playground in just 8HP.

Examples of use:

Rotate four LFOs through four destinations for evolving modulation.

Dynamically shift a melody between four voices.

Create generative drum grooves by remapping triggers.

Step an audio signal through four FX chains rhythmically.

Use REWIRE as a manual preset bank with the faders alone.

Melting Point Vactrol Filter

"Short demo of a sequence running through the Melting Point vactrol filter. Now available on my Reverb page"

via this Reverb listing

"THIS IS A FULL DIY KIT

This kit includes everything required to build the Melting Point vactrol filter. This is a character filter that will add a lot of color to the sound.
There is a low-pass and hi-pass audio input, an audio output, 2 CV inputs and a variable level “Strike” CV input.

The feedback/resonance will begin self oscillating slightly past noon, and will continue to add more drive and color if you push it further.
Trim pot on the rear allows adjustment of CV response.

Includes a power cable and 4x M3 screws.

There is a qr code in the kit that will take you to a page with build instructions.

Please note the knobs included in the kit are different than the knobs in the finished module image."
