Patch Notes: Syncing To The Length Of A Gesture

video upload by Bela Platform

"Patch Notes is a series of instructional videos designed to help you get the most out of Gliss and provide a source of ideas for fuelling your own experiments and discoveries. Together we will explore possibilities opened by placing Gliss in the midst of a larger patch rather than directly to its final destination, by mixing signals to combine touch control with traditional modulation sources and connecting to unlikely destinations.

The updated Gliss firmware introduces the ability to sync events in your modular system to the length of a recorded gesture, and much more besides. Upgrade for free: https://bela.io/upgrade-gliss.html"

Minichord, Gliss, Plinky & friends

video upload by Grain Blanc

"This little combo is really cool!!
Since Benjamin Poilvé sent me the minichord (a smaller version of the omnichord) to test, I've been trying to find a place for it alongside the tiny rack, and the whole thing works well. The Gliss from ‪@BelaPlatform‬ through the Plinky, Buzzrito (+ Bib for effects) from ‪@bluespoonery‬ adds its variations.

Other modules used are the farbfolder from ‪@MakingSoundMachines‬ the disting mk4 from ‪@ExpertSleepersLtd‬ for reverb and mixer xoh from ‪@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC‬
All candycords cables come from ‪@myvolts1903‬"

Patch Notes: Control Mode as Macro Controller

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.

Gliss 1U: Horizontal Touch Control

video upload by Bela Platform

"We're excited to announce the launch of Gliss 1U, bringing all the expressive power of our original Gliss module to the Intellijel 1U format.

Gliss, now available in 1U format, is a capacitive touch controller offering flexible modulation options across four modes. Generate control voltages, record and playback gestures, visualize and scale signals, or play tunable notes—all in a hands-on, compact module. Gliss 1U brings the expressive control of the original Gliss to performance racks without sacrificing versatility.

Looking for a module to fill your 1U row? Gliss gives you plenty of hands-on modulation options with a highly customizable and intuitive interface."

DivSkip in a tiny case: Minimal Setup

video upload by Making Sound Machines

"We thought we'd try and built the smallest viable setup using DivSkip, our collaboration with @DivKid. So we set out to collect a couple of modules that pair great with #DivSkip in a tiny 48HP @4msCompany pod. It turned out really fun!

The Clock input is generated using Music Thing Modular's insanely practical startup module. Here it's used to output sixteenth note triggers.
DivSkip's channel 1 is set to play a modbap pattern on Out A and B, going to kick and snare on @VladimirPantelic's awesome VPME QD quad drum voice.
DivSkip's channel 2 is set to offbeats, triggering @TimoRozendal's super cool FMP drum. It's a fantastic DIY module using the @YamahaSynthsOfficial YM2413 FM chip - you need to check it out.

The Gliss module from @BelaPlatform plays back a looping CV recording, changing both the sound parameters on FMP and the pattern on DivSkip's channel 4, which in turn is generating a grooving syncopated sixteenth note sequence.

Finally, DivSkip's channel 4 sends a pattern from its Euclidean Split mode to the Karplus-Strong generator on the QD Drum.

Enrica mutes and unmutes each channel on the fly with a click of the push potentiometer.

DIY Kits will restock shortly at @thonksynth (UK), @explodingshed (EU) and @nightlife_electronics (CAN - DIY and built)
Built modules are available at @signal_sounds (UK), @perfect_circuit (US), @elevatorsoundbristol (UK), @elevatorsound_eu (EU) and #schneidersladen (EU)"

Sarah Belle Reid meets Gliss

"This video is the third in a series in which we get Gliss in the hands of artists we deeply respect. In this video the Canadian-born musician and educator, Sarah Belle Reid, explores the timbral possibilities of Gliss by using it extensively as a non-linear waveshaper.

Inverted echoes (a modular patch idea)

video upload by Electrum Modular

"The aim here – besides trying out the TSNM as an expressive keyboard – was to generate an inverted echo, so that a descending melody comes back as an ascending one, or vice versa. (I stole this idea from Bach, who often used contrapuntal inversion, playing the theme “upside-down”).

Mutable Instruments’ Beads (in delay mode) is perfect for this, but any module with a long delay would work. The other crucial ingredient is a multi-channel mixer/attenuverter such as Make Noise Maths (here, I’m using Acid Rain’s Junction).

Other modules used:
Intellijel’s Bifold
Intellijel’s Dixie II+
Intellijel’s Scales
Shakmat’s Banshee Reach
ALM’s Pamela’s New Workout
ALM’s MFX
ALM’s Pip Slope
