Rain City Modular SCS-X Advanced Clock Parser

New from Rain City Modular

"The SCS-X is a dual multiplier/divider module in 3U/6HP. Each section can multiply and divide a clock source up to 64x. Clock sources include internal clock, Rain Sync bus clock, external clock, or the output of the other section. When set to 'Musical' mode, the output can range in musical divisions from 32nd notes up to 2 bars in length.

Advanced patterns can be created by setting a frame length from 1-32 steps, and number of active pulses per frame. You can manipulate the active pulses through various parameters, including the amount the pulses spread across the frame, and the rotation of the pattern relative to the start of the frame. When spread is set to maximum, the SCS-X acts as a euclidean sequencer. Set the patterns in motion with a randomness function that varies from frame to frame.

Specifications

Format: 3U 6HP
Display: 16×8 custom LED dot matrix (per section)
Inputs: Clock In Jack, Reset In Jack (per section)
Outputs: Mul/Div Output Jack (per section)
Connections: Rear sync bus in and out
Power Consumption: Up to 85mA on +12V / 0mA @ -12V"

Crossfaded: Complex Modulation

video upload by Mehr Music Machines

"Let’s crossfade between two cycling function generators (RAMPS) and use that x-fade signal output to modulate the filter cutoff on Deuxd. And then let’s take one of Crossfaded’s internal (but accessible) LFOs and pan that signal between the two function generators’ shape modulation CV inputs. Let’s do that together."

Crossfaded is 14HP VCA-core utility for Eurorack Modular Synthesizers

Features: Dual 2-channel crossfader/panner VCA
CV control over pan/fade
Built in LFO with two shapes: Swirl (triangle) & Bounce (square)
Dedicated LFO output

Each of the two crossfader sections has 2-input and 2-output. When using both signal inputs the output signal will present the opposing input signal. For example: Signal input 1A fades between outputs B to A. While simultaneously the opposite is true; Signal input 1B fades between outputs A to B.

When only one input is used the outputs can be patched to a mixer's left + right channels for a classic "Auto-Pan" effect. Adjust the LFO's rate and depth to taste.

Glad to have the unique character of this classic gem back in the studio."

Tunary Instruments Releases Cinematic Soundscape Collection

video upload by Tunary Instruments

Best on headphones. "Every sound in this video was made with four Tunary instruments: VRESK, DRUSK, NIVREN and SILT."

via Tunary Instruments

THREE INSTRUMENTS FOR SCORING SPACE, TEXTURE & MOOD

Deep drones, sculpted grains and self-playing glacial beds. Three sound-design instruments made for film, games and ambient music — the sound under a scene, not the tune on top. Buy one, or take all three.

Additional details on each:

VRESK — Drone, Texture & SFX Engine

VRESK holds one sound and lets you move through it.

A drone, texture and sound-design engine: nine different machines under one set of hands, with two reverb spaces built in. Turn the big ROOT knob and the whole voice moves. Everything else colours it.

Nine engines on a 3 by 3 grid. Two oscillators for rings, folds and hard metal. Four wavetable voices for stacks, swarms and crushed digital. Eight partials for beating clusters, quantised chords and noise-struck metal. The knobs stay the same across all nine, and each engine reads them differently, so one panel is really nine instruments.

MAME Synths as Plugins?! Vintage Emulator Studio is Here

video upload by Autodafe

"Vintage Emulator Studio (VES) is finally here!

Download VES here:
https://www.autodafe.net/vintage-emul...

VES started from my experiments with the synthesizers, sound modules, samplers and drum machines emulated by MAME. Over time, after several videos, tests and even A/B comparisons with original hardware, I started wondering: what if these machines could be used in a more musician-friendly environment — and even loaded directly inside a DAW?

That idea eventually became Vintage Emulator Studio.

VES brings together a curated selection of MAME-emulated musical instruments in a single application, available as Standalone, AU and VST3 for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows and Linux.

You can download VES for free from my website. As with all my free plugins and sample libraries, there is also an optional €5 Supporter version if you'd like to support my work and future development.

VES is also open source, and the GitHub source code is linked from the product page.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: ROMs are required and are NOT included with VES.
I do not distribute MAME ROMs, so please don't ask me to send them. You will need to provide your own ROM sets. The good news is that MAME ROMs are generally not particularly difficult to find compared with those for some other emulation platforms.

Also keep in mind that VES relies on MAME emulation. Not every supported machine is emulated to exactly the same level of completeness, so some quirks or limitations may come from the current state of MAME itself.

P.S. You may occasionally hear a few small audio drops during this video. My computer wasn't always particularly happy about running multiple emulated machines while recording the screen and audio at the same time — so those glitches are mostly from the recording setup rather than VES itself. 🙂"

Is this the most beautiful MIDI instrument ever? #murobox

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"The Muro Box N40 ( https://murobox.com/en/product/muro-b... ) is a MIDI-fied musicbox with a 40 note range. You can play it like an electric piano or use it as a standard musicbox with its app, which gives you access to a virtually unlimited number of songs to play back. In this video, I'm capturing the audio into my MPC Live III, using a variety of effects to include the Muro Box' sound into electronic music. Table of contents:

BOARDS OF CANADA - 1986 Summer Fire (COVER - Prophet REV2)

video upload by nicola neeco

"1986 Summer Fire: the last track of Boards of Canada’s Twoism EP.

For this cover I used only my Sequential Prophet Rev2, trying to get as close as possible to that warm, slightly worn-out synth tone from the original.

I’m a huge fan of Boards’ short tracks and interludes, the ones that sit between the “proper” songs. To me, some of their real gems are hidden there: small sketches that say more in 30 seconds than whole albums do.

This is my little tribute to one of those moments."

Dreadbox Erebus - duophonic analog synthesizer

Download the track here:

All sounds were generated by the Dreadbox Erebus, a paraphonic analogue synth with 2 oscillators, simple but effective controls, and a patch bay, as well as a great sounding lo-fi delay effect.

Make Noise Morhagene // Glitching out a Multiwave drone

video upload by Dexba

"I have too many samplers, and I started my mission to find better or more interesting uses for each of them. The power of the Morphagene lies in being part of a modular system; for example, why not sequence its parameters with the 0-Ctrl?
After changing the S.O.S. mode to make it suitable for live FX usage, I've spent more time than I want to admit (but that's the fun part of modular, isn't it?) constructing this puzzle of balances between something that would become pleasantly glitched, without being annoying or too repetitive, a controlled chaos, if we want.
Ideally, I would have wanted 2 Multimod, to have both stepped and smooth modulations, or maybe a DXG, to control pauses for the Multiwave, but the game was also making something fun and portable in 62HP, and I am pretty satisfied with this first experiment; it won't be the last, so stay tuned, and feel free to comment with your favorite setting for the Morphagene and ideas for a travel setup."

SOMA ENIGMA, Unboxing, First Experiments

video uploads by substatica drones

Playlist:

1. SOMA ENIGMA, Unboxing, First Experiment
2. SOMA ENIGMA, Monopoly Synthesizer Experiment
3. ENIGMA, A Strange Synth with a Beautiful Side

"ENIGMA is an innovative synthesizer fully controlled by the position and movement of metallic objects. Through a unique interface developed by SOMA, every metal object placed on the surface is transformed into sound. The shape, size, and type of object are entirely up to you. Coins, screws, fragments, gears, tools, and any other metallic artifacts will work. The interface sensitivity is extremely high — even a fractional millimeter shift of an object can alter the sound.

MIDI and CV clock sync are included , as well as MIDI note control."

VHIKK X, Ambient Exploration

video upload by substatica drones

"An ambient exploration with the Forge TME VHIKK X. The VHIKK X is set to Bank 1, Algorithm 1.

VHIKK X - https://nightlife-electronics.com/pro...

3D Printed Eurorack Case - https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadge...

Vhikk X by Forge TME is a multi-algorithm experimental synth workshop specialising in [but not limited to] complex drones/basses, rich textures, and dynamic sfx. It combines sound generation and effects processing into one module with multiple different algorithms.

The nature of the Vhikk X makes it suitable for situations where a compact, ergonomic, and self-contained sound source/processor would be welcome - for example smaller modular systems, or large systems where a self-contained sound island with minimised cognitive overhead would be desirable."

MIDI Mapping the Elektron Tonverk - creating macros using the ModWheel & Breath Controller functions
