Kenton USB Solo mk2 MIDI to control voltage review + Big Merp Cameo 😺

video upload by CatSynth TV

00:00 Introduction
00:18 Overview
00:55 MIDI-to-CV demo with note, control change, and aftertouch messages
06:49 Saving configurations as presets
07:42 Converting MIDI clock to CV for synchronization
09:45 Conclusion

"In today's demo and tutorial, we have a bit of fun with the new USB Solo mk2 from our friends at Kenton Electronics. The handy little gadget builds on Kenton's previous MIDI to CV converters, and allows one to convert MIDI from USB or 5-pin DIN to a variety of CV signals, including pitch (1V/Oct), gate and trigger, 3 aux channels for CC, velocity, aftertouch, and more. It also supports MIDI clock, allowing one to synchronize Eurorack and other analog synthesizers with your DAW or MIDI sequencer. Additional features include a built-in LFO and envelope.

Big Merp decided he wanted to be a part of this demo, too 😺"

Morphor ECHON 6 & Erica Synths Hexdrums | Winterdagen

video upload by Winterdagen

"What a magical combination! The other day I tried to run my current favourite drum machine the Erica Synths Hexdrums trough the audio input of the Morphor ECHON 6 and I was blown away by the result.

In this piece, Hexdrums is being used as an exciter for ECHON's six analogue BBD resonators, which are playing a chord progression coming via a midi cable from Ableton Live. I'm using both the knobs on Hexdrums as well as ECHON 6 to create movement and build-ups, and in the second build-up I'm also feeding in some of ECHON's amazing noise generator. Such an amazing sound!"

boards of canada - the process (cover)

"A piano and synth cover of 'The Process' by the legendary Boards of Canada, from their incredible new album, 'Inferno'.

I've been captivated by the 'Inferno' album since its release and wanted to share my interpretation of this beautifully soothing and melancholic track. If you enjoy this, let me know in the comments! I'm planning to cover more from the album soon, with 'Naraka,' 'Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan,' and 'Blood in the Labyrinth' being next on my list.

Emu SP1200 & SP12 OTBElec SP MIDI Interface w/ Original Box

via this eBay listing

Here's an interesting device from the recent past. According to the listing details below the final batch came out in 2017. It's from OTBElec and this appears to be the first post to feature them on the site. The www.otbelec.com website is no longer live.

This one was spotted and sent in via
M Me. via the listing: "I bought this new & it was part of the final batch made in 2017. I stored it away because my SP12 required servicing & the interface subsequently was never used (or even unwrapped).

This may be the only brand new OTB MIDI in existence.


"The SP MIDI converts non-standard MIDI messages from the SP-1200 to regular MIDI. One such message is note off, which is required to set the length or duration of sequenced notes. The SP MIDI also translates the pitches of bank D to a continuous range of notes to store and sequence external devices. When recording it is necessary to set rec mode.

Internal mode is used to select up to three samples which then have their 16 pitch levels mapped out over the keyboard. Now supporting note off you can play like you would normally expect, where the sample mutes when the key is released. Excellent for looped samples, i.e. bass lines.

External mode is used to sequence other instruments. It uses bank D1-D6 to record notes on one MIDI channel and D7-D8 on another channel. D1-D6 is mapped to a full note range by pad number and pitch, making it possible to play a melody using the pads. Also note off is sent as you hit the pads a second time, unless F1 oneshot is selected. D7-D8 is combined together to give a full range of note numbers and is best used with a keyboard.

Dynamic velocity is maintained, if not Full Level is selected.

The SP MIDI firmware can be updated using a computer with a MIDI interface.

These features also allow pitching and using the loop function on a S950."

Meet Meow Seq

video upload by Floof Audio

"Meet Meow Seq, a VST3 sequencer inspired by modular setups.
Download the free trial from floofaudio.com

Full version is 25% off for the first two weeks (until June 15).

Meow Seq is a sequencer, a MIDI phrase writer, and a creative kick in the pants to your everyday piano-roll-oriented life.

At its core, two machines work together to generate a single MIDI output. The top machine controls timing, when notes happen and for how long. The bottom machine controls pitch, which notes play and how. Both machine contains five sequencers, all running independently with their own step lengths and play modes. Mix and match freely to build patterns that evolve and surprise, then route the output to any hardware or software synth you like.

The inspiration comes from Eurorack-style sequencing, where multiple sequencers interact to control time, pitch, and modulation in complex and sometimes chaotic ways."

LARKING — Quantized Ambient Drone Instrument

video upload by recoverysounds

www.recoveryeffects.com

"Larking is a 4 voice ambient drone synthesizer that redefines what a playable synth can be. Pitch is quantized, with each voice locking to a selectable key and one of eight musical modes for consistent harmonic control.

A standalone instrument for immediate tactile performance and tonal exploration, Larking functions as a sound design tool, performance instrument, or central voice in effects based setups. It integrates easily into pedalboard systems and complex signal chains.

Without traditional keys, it shifts focus from fixed patterns to guided harmonic discovery. Voices can be triggered via onboard controls, gate inputs, or MIDI, supporting hands on playing, modular systems, and sequencing.

Each voice features independent pitch control that snaps to scale degrees, enabling open ended melodic movement within a stable musical framework.

At its core is a morphing tonal engine. The Shape control moves each voice from a warm sine like foundation into harmonic saturation with analog style overtones, grit, and complexity, delivering a deep resonant low end with strong weight and bass response. Attack and Decay shape voice response from percussive rhythmic strikes to slow evolving swells that dissolve into space.

A global LFO modulates pitch across all voices, from subtle drift to extreme instability. Onboard reverb expands everything into a deep spatial field and atmospheric wash. The result is an instrument between a melodic synth, drone machine, and experimental performance tool, grounded in musical structure and open to pitch based exploration."

Prophet 10 and MIDI MORPHEUS - an LFO generator for the Prophet 10

video upload by MIDERA

"When I was playing around with the Roland MKS-80, I kept thinking "My Prophet 10 sounds soooo much like this, do I really need to spend $$$ on getting an MKS?" The things I loved so much about the MKS (and actually the Kawai SX-240 which I sold) related to the LFO. I love a good reverse saw LFO and a random LFO. Notably, these are absent from the Prophet 10.

I started building another device I haven't showcased yet, and I realized I could repurpose that work to make an LFO module, which is what you're seeing here. So what can it do? It currently targets multiple CC destinations with adjustable depth, speed, and waveform shape.

Been having a lot of fun with it so far, creating sounds the Prophet 10 could not do unless I had a Yorick LFE, which is no longer made and was a little too expensive for me to justify purchasing. This is far cheaper (although I don't want to think about how much I've spent in parts/time building this!).

Cheers
