demo of the b4Modular Series 7 synthesizer part 1 / 2 : the suitcase

video upload by elektronengehirn

"The diy modular synthesizer in a suitcase which Malte Steiner developed between 2024 and 2025. The goal was to build a cheap modular system mainly for live concerts, which is repairable and can go into Checkin Luggage without much worries (something you don't do with Eurorack). So far it is used for several concerts by the projects Elektronengehirn and Notstandskomitee in Berlin and Helsinki, and local Jam sessions here in Aalborg. It is build in a Nanuk 923 case which can remove the lid, the rails are made of wood and wood screws, the front plates are 3D printed.
The system features 2 analog Oscillators / LFOs, one digital oscillator with 6 different modes, an oscillator bank with 6 square waves, triple clock module, 3 slew limiters, a lowpass filter, tone control filter, wave folder, one ring mod / wave folder, 5 VCAs, crossfader, mixer, 2 pressure sensors, a trigger button, unity and gates mixer.
See it in action at this Notstandskomitee concert in Helsinki:"

The block4 Social Distancing Concerts 3: Notstandskomitee 2

Published on Mar 28, 2020 elektronengehirn

"A different Notstandskomitee concert, playing on our big modular synthesizer. Streaming from our studios gives us the possibility to work with equipment we are not able to take with us to a regular concert setting, hence it gives you also a unique experience."

"Last week we started a series of streaming concerts from our studios. We also suffer from some canceled concerts but streaming gives us the possibility to work with all our gear which no booker ever would pay us to bring. So this provides a different and unique experience for the audience. This one is my solo project Notstandskomitee creating and performing a whole set on the Eurorack modular, driven by the XOR Nerd Seq tracker like sequencer.

Further concerts can be found on the same youtube channel, more music from the Notstandskomitee project which I started 1991 can be found at
