"MANIFOLD RESEARCH CENTRE ANTILOPE

Prance with glee through the wilds of experimental sound with Antilope from Manifold Research Centre, a filter-based drum and dynamics machine designed for creative rhythms and otherworldly sound design. Based around a dual pingable resonant filter, Antilope creates plucks, bongo slaps, and ghastly squeals galore, which can be further shaped through the onboard distortion and multi-FX feedback path. In classic MRC fashion, taking this distortion and FX loop to unique extremes via feedback enables a vast timbral range, transforming the sizzling filter timbres into new and mangled shapes.

To get these sounds moving and grooving, a three-channel pattern recorder is available for patching around to Antilope's filter, distortion, and FX parameters. This provides a highly intuitive and performable interface equally suited for on-stage skronking and studio experimentalism. Each recorder can be switched between stepped voltage sequences or morphable AD envelopes, enabling both rigid beat shifting and smooth timbral changes alike.

Naturally, Antilope's 3.5mm CV inputs and outputs readily integrate into a broader Eurorack environment, opening up even more uncharted paths for sonic exploration. Likewise, the addition of MIDI clock reset and synchronization connectivity enables use in hybrid set-ups and DAW-based artistry. Using its stereo line level input on the back of the device, external sounds can be processed through the filter directly or in conjunction with Antilopes broader workflow, extending the sound world within by infinite margin.

Thanks to its dedicated headphone output and USB-C power input, Antilope's characterful design is primed for portable interaction, imbuing any journey with captivating sound. With its focused yet flexible design that collapses and reinvents percussive processing in MRC style, Antilope from Manifold Research Centre is a fantastic beast sure to inspire your trips through the creative unknown.

"The map is not the territoire (tmintt) is a routing and summing matrix based on magnetic patching technology (inspired on Meng Qi's magnet matrix).

Changing the way of patching your systems, focusing into discovery and experimentation, tmintt will open you windows into feedback territories.

Flanging & phasing feedback fun with Ubique from Manifold Research Centre

video upload by Signal Sounds

"In this video, Tom explores Ubique, a collaboration between Manifold Research Centre and Heretic Machines. It’s a 14HP Eurorack module that combines a BBD flanger and a transistor ladder 10-stage phaser. They have their own inputs and outputs, but the output of the flanger is also summed to the input of the phaser, and the output of the phaser can be fed back into the flanger via the feedback slider, so you can create an infinite loop of flanging and phasing.

"We say...
Awesome flager/phaser combo from the mighty Manifold Research Centre. One of the coolest sound processors we've heard for a while!

Manufacturer's description Ubique is a feedback phase network contained within a module for the Euroack ecosystem. It is a lens into the micro time domain, consisting of two distinct but entangled cores.

The left core is a BBD flanger or short delay based on V3205D, with a range from 5ms to about 250ms. The right core is a transistor ladder 10-stage phaser.

Each one of the sections has its own audio input with attenuator (AUDIO IN), output (OUT), frequency (FREQ) and feedback controls (FDBK), CV inputs over frequency with attenuverters (CV) and CV inputs over resonance (Q CV). LEFT side features a DRY/WET control (only for the flanger out), and RIGHT side an INVERT switch (to change the color of your phasing)."

"TMINTT is an active Routing and summing Matrix that works with voltages up to the eurorack modular format.

Its principle is quite simple:

Inspired on Meng Qi’s magnetic matrix design, has a patching system that lets you use magnetic pins on a 7 x 11 game board-like grid to route and sum (at unity gain) your signals.

Performance // Granular [Tetra] Grid // Instruōctional Patching

video upload by Instruō

"This patch is broken down in depth in my next Instruōctional Patching video which will be live premiering on Sunday 20th February at 6PM GMT.

This is a performance recording of a patch I created while experimenting with The Tetragrid from Manifold Research Centre.
There are several patching techniques used that I have been experimenting with lately that lend themselves well to harmonic patching as well as much more experimental compositions.

Core Techniques:
• Chaotic cross modulation with magnets (Hail the donut)
• Complex circular FM tones from Cš-L
• Rhythmic gating over index ratios, wavefold depth and signal amplitudes
• Granular/reverberant spatialisation using arbhar
• TZFM as tone generator and processor simultaneously
• Harmonic chord voice using Harmonàig/Saïch

The composition is much more aggressive and textural than my usual. Too much caffeine perhaps… or not enough?
I built the patch to be very hands on and immediate for manipulating the voices. The Tetragrid allows for a wonderfully chaotic interaction between its 6 modulation sources. At times things can stabilise and produce musical ostinatos but simply touching the interface will quickly mix up the patterns.

The algorithms defining the cross modulation in both the instances of audio sources and control generators are circular in nature and with dynamic influence over their ratios. They produce very diverse ranges of complex tones and patterns that can naturally stabilise.

A full written breakdown of the patch and access to the patchnotes can be found on the Learning/Patching page on Instruō website:
