Playlist:

1. - 4. ERICA SYNTHS HEXDRUMS 01 - 04 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS

I got to spend some quality time with the Hexdrums - it sounds really beefy and each voice has a tonne of sweet spots. The Hexdrums has loads of saturation available, is built to a high standard and feels very performative. This is the first of four videos.

Check out my samples on Bandcamp - loads of vintage and modern drum machines and more, all samples ethically-sourced and locally-grown here in the lab in Bristol, UK: https://lostlvls.bandcamp.com/

5. ERICA SYNTHS PERKONS HD-01 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS

The formidable Perkons HD-01 was available at Machina Bristronica - how could I resist? For my money the Perkons is the most 'jammable' and gratifying drum machine on the market, hands-down. The person using it before filming this session was dancing and really enjoying their time with it. Was a joy to witness!

6. MODOR DR-2 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS

The excellent DR-2 drum machine from Modor aka Marcel Belmans. Was a treat to finally meet Marcel and discuss his creations. In this video Marcel kindly demonstrated the DR-2 for us.

Body Synths Metal Fetishist Chrome Edition

video upload by Body Synths

"Here’s the Metal Fetishist Chrome Edition. It’s shiny but it sounds the same. Is that a bad thing? All the sounds in this video were created using it.

Limited Special Edition of 200. First batch of 100 starts shipping in a few weeks. Come to SUPERBOOTH25 to check it out in person, we'll be at booth W206.

We’ve been keeping this a secret since almost the beginning and trust me it wasn’t easy, this thing looks cool af."

Oberheim’s SEM sequenced with Metal Fetishist

video upload by Body Synths

"I had the opportunity to borrow an original Tom Oberheim SEM reissue from a friend and this video is a selection of some sounds I came up with. The 2 Metal Fetishists are in sync and being used as sequencers for the SEM’s pitch and gate CV inputs. Aside from that I tried to keep the patching to a minimum. What can I say about the SEM? it is very fun to play and it sounds absolutely amazing. I loved playing with the filter resonance to get classic Oberheim textures. As for the Metal Fetishist, sometimes I like using it as “just” a sequencer for my monophonic synths, so I thought this was a good opportunity to showcase how I do it. Feel free to ask questions in the comments. I hope you liked this one!

Body Synths Metal Fetishist Percussion Synthesizer - SonicLAB Review

video upload by sonicstate

"Extra sounds demo on our http://patreon.com/sonicstate

‪@midierror‬ takes look at the Body Synths Metal Fetishist - an unhinged noise box and percussion synthesizer, capable of making gut-wrenching beats, incendiary fx, and supercharged percussive elements.

It's a unique unit, which is the first release from Body Synths - a monophonic digital synthesizer with sequence generation, rather than a conventional step sequencer.

The combination of an oscillator, noise generator, filter, random modulation, and 2 on-board effects leads to many unexpected results and happy accidents - particularly if you like your sound dark and distorted.

It's available now for around £369.99 RRP
https://bodysynths.com/

midierror has just launched http://potatoaudio.com

Patreons have access to an EXTRA NOISE video, with 10 minutes of no talking, balls-to-the-wall noise explorations, and we'll be following up with some free loops in the new year - exclusively available at https://www.patreon.com/sonicstate

Pairing the Metal Fetishist with Make Noise Maths

video upload by Body Synths

"I've been using modular synths for years and somehow I've never tried Maths before so it was about time to give it a shot. It makes a pretty good pairing with the Metal Fetishist, don't you think?"

Machina Bristronica 2024

Playlist:

1. Bristronica 24: MyVolts The Silent Alchemist Nears Shipping

We caught up with Caroline who gave us the latest update to the *Silent Alchemist*, a versatile power hub designed for musicians. Featuring five isolated USB-C outputs and a high-wattage sixth output capable of delivering 100 watts, the device can power a Mac with the remaining outputs providing 20 watts each. Its independent circuits ensure noise-free operation, catering to a variety of devices including the Dreadbox module and Sysmo slope generator.

The Silent Alchemist uses innovative step-up power tips to convert USB-C input to the correct voltage for various devices. There's also new feature: an uninterruptible power supply allowing seamless transition between wall and power bank sources. Also introduced were updated cables, such as silver candy cords and floating ring TRS to TS cables, expanding connection flexibility. The Silent Alchemist is expected to be available in December with a competitive pricing strategy.

2. Bristronica 24: Circuit Happy ML2M Clock Sync module updates

At Bristronica 2024, we caught up with the creator of the *ML2M*, who introduced us to the latest version. The ML2M is a compact Eurorack module with Wi-Fi capabilities, allowing seamless synchronization with Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and iOS music apps using Ableton Link without the need for cables. It either connects to an existing network or creates its own, ensuring robust sync even in environments with unreliable Wi-Fi. The module, which retains its 2HP size, now features MIDI integration through TRS jacks. Users can access a web interface to configure each output for different clock divisions and reset triggers, making setup straightforward and flexible.

Alongside the ML2M, there's also the Missing Link Junior. This desktop version offers the same functionality but in a box format, complete with MIDI and CV clock outputs. Both products are now accessible, with a starting price of $250.

3. Bristronica 24: Archaea Exchange Patching Module

At Machina Bristronica 2024, we caught up with Arran from ‪@archaea_modular_synthesis‬ who presented the *Exchange Module*. This programmable patcher, a year in the making, evolved from its early prototype stage to a fully functional module. Arran explained how the Exchange can route synth voices via a beam controller and three exchange modules installed within the skiff, allowing for versatile patching. Operating like a matrix patchbay, it enables users to select inputs and outputs with the push of a button, create presets, and chain multiple modules for synchronized patching.

Communication between the modules occurs over the Eurorack power bus as well as over MIDI via the USB-C connection. The Exchange maintains analog integrity, ensuring there’s no conversion latency. The forthcoming release expected in late November 2024, includes a USB-driven editor for enhanced control capabilities.

Using the Doepfer A-126-2 Frequency Shifter to process the Metal Fetishist

video upload by Body Synths

"Another week, another pairing! This time I played with the inredibly fun Doepfer Frequency Shifter, also known as A-126-2 because… modular. This little thing farts like no other so it’s a sound designer’s dream come true if you ask me."

About the Metal Fetishist: https://bodysynths.com

DISCLAIMER:
Please note that each Metal Fetishist may have minor variations in the electronic and mechanical components that interface with the sound engine. Therefore, each unit can interpret these “presets” with subtle differences between them.

In addition, sequences cannot be saved as presets because the random skip and step-modulation generators are designed to produce completely unique results each time.

We’d like to encourage you to not only play with the STEPS control, but to also adjust the instrument controls; use these presets as starting points in your sonic exploration.

"At Superbooth 2024 we met up with Xavi at the* Body Synths* booth. This is his first time at Superbooth and the Metal Fetishist is his first instrument. Metal Fetishist is a percussion synthesizer that features a loopable randomness sequencer and a CV interface. It is designed for rhythm discovery and explores the realm of crunchy distorted punchy pounding sounds. You can process external sounds to turn a drone synth into a percussion instrument.
