Floating Knobs Cuisine: A Performance Sequencer Jam (w/ Critter & Guitari Pocket Piano 201)

video upload by pitch patch

"Cuisine is a performance sequencer built around live interaction rather than step-by-step programming.

This video starts with an empty pattern and builds a sequence from scratch. Gate length, loop range and pattern changes remain flexible, while performance mode allows real-time edits that can be recorded once they feel right.

Cuisine is not about randomness. It is about relationships between steps, timing and control. A simple sequence goes a long way.

Sound source in this video is the Critter & Guitari Pocket Piano 201 via MIDI.

Critter & Guitari Septavox

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this eBay listing

"Critter & Guitari’s rare and revered Septavox in a canary yellow aluminum enclosure is here for your consideration. And yes, those are the signature, C&G wooden buttons

A one-off collaboration between Critter & Guitari and Jack White’s Third Man Records, the Septavox is a portable synthesizer featuring 41 keys, 7 modes, 7 tones, and an internal 3-watt speaker powered by 9v DC center-positive power supply (or four AA batteries for playing on-the-go and jamming in unplugged group settings).

Enjoy MIDI in and out ports, as well as a quarter-inch, monophonic line-out jack for plugging into an amp or mixer/interface.

Conceptually, the Septavox is something like a more accessible, road-ready version of C&G‘s Organelle—designed for plug-and-play use, while rugged enough to be tossed into a backpack without a second thought. Each tone and mode corresponds to a dedicated knob and colored LED indicator. Simply note the color combo of a favorite mode and dial in the volume, tuning, and dual modulation parameters.

The seven modes are: Vibrato, Slide, Two-Octave Arpeggiator, Swell, Octave Cascade, Slicer, Pipe Glide.

And the seven tones: Dirty Sine, Sine, Electric Organ, Square Wave, Sawtooth, Dirty Square, Computer."

Pladask Rom Walkthrough and Demo // Spaces That Never Were

"Pladask ROM is the Eurorack sibling of the Stereo Dradd — a reverb that doesn’t simulate real spaces, but invents new ones. Closely related to Pladask's DRAUME pedal. With three algorithms (HALL, FRAME, GRAIN), clock control, random modulation, and stereo unpredictability, ROM excels at turning static sounds into restless, living textures.

If you enjoy experimental sound design, modular weirdness, and reverb that goes beyond realism, ROM is a perfect tool for your rack."

New Organelle S2 - Meditation at Arpeggiator Lake

video upload by Critter & Guitari

"Jam at the lake with the new Organelle S2! Order today! https://www.critterandguitari.com This video was made with the Arp-II patch."

"The Organelle S2 has arrived! From the outside, the S2 features maple keys and sturdy black metal enclosure just like its predecessor, but the insides have been completely redesigned. It now runs on a 1.8GHz quad-core processor — 50% faster than the Organelle S!

There are lots of small improvements too: a new encoder with a smoother feel, easier WiFi settings, and even a redesigned SD card slot that prevents the card from slipping into the device.

The Organelle S2 runs all your favorite patches with ease — and has room to grow. We’re also excited to explore some more advanced possibilities."

Visualizer Jam Critter & Guitari Eyesy into Chroma Corrupter (ft. Elektron Syntakt)

video upload by goth jocks

"A/V jam using Critter & Guitari Eyesy into Melted Electronics Chroma Corrupter. Audio from Elektron Syntakt.

First time manually controlling audio and video devices simultaneously. A little challenging to say the least! Might have to sacrifice an Elektron MIDI track to control the Eyesy

Thanks for listening!"

Ekkko Station (Full Version) on Organelle M by Critter & Guitari

video upload by Element433 (a.k.a. Pere Villez)

"Fully functioning version of Ekkko Station on Organelle M.

Can be run without a MIDI controller (looses the oscillator but everything else including file system works great)

The 3 main live parameters are assigned to the first 3 knobs and the fourth is for choosing a preset to load. All presets across the versions are compatible as they are all full versions."

Critter & Guitari New Kaleidoloop

via Critter & Guitari

"Our recorder/looper with mic input, 3W output speaker, and battery power for portability is back with the following newness:

Now has six playback modes. It ships with three speed manipulation modes and three effects. Playback / effect modes are customizable! Modes are coded in Pure Data. Users can create their own modes or upload modes shared with the community.

Looping continues during recording so you can build up layers of sound with just one Kaleidoloop. Smaller form factor: just as fun, just as loud - but more portable.

USB-C Power
The new Kaleidoloop is perfect for all kinds of recording situations, exploration, and experimentation. Use it in the studio or on the go with battery power!

This animation from the original Kaleidoloop doesn’t show the new features such as different playback modes, additional controls, or the ability to re-record the playback, but the spirit is the same!"

Patchwerks - Community Hub & Music Store Fundraiser

You can find the GoFundMe here.

Patchwerks is more than a synth shop. They host local synth events in the Seattle area, share performances online, publish tutorial videos, and help promote artists [many featured here on MATRIXSYNTH]. Now they need some help on their end. The following was sent my way via a friend, via Patchwerks's news letter. You'll of course find additional details on their GoFundMe.

"WE NEED YOUR HELP

We’ve proudly watched as the community that developed around Patchwerks has grown through a shared passion for the joy and magic of electronic instruments. All of our staff feel so much gratitude when people come to our store to play, learn, and connect with each other.

We’ve been so humbled by everyone who has come through our doors – whether you’ve been a first-time synth-curious explorer who trusted us to guide you, or whether you’ve been one of our own musical heroes who has consciously decided to purchase your instruments from an independently-owned and operated business.

Unfortunately, due to economic pressures beyond our control, the community we built at Patchwerks is at risk of losing its home… and we’re reaching out to ask for your help.

If you're willing to help us survive, a donation of as little as $25 can help Patchwerks continue our operations in a healthy way.

The years 2022 and 2023 made it difficult for us to operate, and now we're at the point where we need to ask for help or cease operations. We have a strong plan to get healthy, but we can't do it without you. Please consider donating to our GoFundMe campaign today."

Latest Showroom Sessions: Sherman and Limanjaya

video upload by Patchwerks

"Join us for Showroom Sessions, a monthly series of curated electronic music. Hear some of the region's boldest voices in ambient, experimental, dance music, and more. Proudly presented by Patchwerks with generous support from the community. This month, we host the talents of Portland-based Limanjaya and local head Sherman.

Sherman / Selector Records on Capitol Hill in Seattle.

Sherman’s been dabbling with gear since around 1997, and after many years of trying out different pieces has settled on a couple Critter & Guitari Organelles running custom patches, running through a Memory Man (w/ Hazarai, of course) delay pedal, building bizarre polyrhythms that on occasion sound good. On the spot beats intricately twist around each other, get manipulated, finagled, and fade into more intricate grooves.

Sherman has releases on Telomere Plastic, iLLikoi, Basement Sounds, and new local label Basement State.

Limanjaya:

Joshua Limanjaya Lim is a modular synthesist and producer residing in Portland, OR. He uses sample flips, glitchy beat repeats, and infectious melodies to craft his sound. Whether he is performing ambient, hiphop, or house music, the goal is always to get people moving. His latest album, UNTITLED 2023, is out now on all streaming platforms.
