Rebranding a Eurorack Modular Synthesizer Company // THE NEW DPW!!

video upload by DivKid

"Here's something a little different which is sharing in the process of rebranding a Eurorack Modular Synthesizer company. In this case ... DPW Design from Sweden. Dan (DPW) has become a good friend and colleague over the years and I've really wanted a visual identity that stands out as strong as the engineering and electronics design, especially in support of new things coming for DPW in the future. Bringing in Matthew Shaw to the process has been great and led to the rebranding we have here."

BAF 2025: UDO RBN-1 Ribbon Controller

video upload by sonicstate

"We caught up with Mathieu from UDO at BAF 2025, where he introduced their new *Ribbon Controller*. While the existing ribbon is familiar to those using the Gemini, Mathieu explained that UDO wanted to make it available for other synths as well. The ribbon can now be magnetically attached to various keyboards, including the Super 8, and connects through an expression pedal input for broader compatibility.

Additionally, Mathieu revealed a new module designed for incorporation into modular systems. This module features dual touch functionality, allowing you to trigger two gates and two CVs concurrently. You can assign the first touch for pitch and the second for filter cutoff, with modes like hold to retain the last CV. A forthcoming looper function will enable recording and playback of CV and gates.

Matthew anticipated a March release for the ribbon and April for the module, with pricing around €300 for the ribbon and €200 for the module."

MKDVB - Behind Spaces (Sequential Pro 3 track w/ Sequential Prophet X, live bass, drum loops)

video upload by MKDVB

"Synths: Sequential Pro 3, Sequential Prophet X, Modal Cobalt 8 all played by Davy Bui
Bass: Davy Bui except outro by Matthew Kretzman.

Recorded at Santo Recording Studio, Oakland, CA in August 2024.
Zachary James Watkins: engineer

Thanks to ByLy for shooting the footage.

This track has been a couple years in the making. It's been written for awhile but it took me some time to improve enough to be somewhat satisfied with the lead. I'm grateful for this track teaching me the fine margins and how a collection of notes can become music. I'm also grateful for the bassline -- it's one of my favorites."

114 / Falling Leaves / Matriarch & OB06 / Ambient Improvisation

video upload by Matthew Lowes

"Live-played ambient improv with the Moog Matriarch and Oberheim OB-6.

FALLING LEAVES REPLAY ALL KINDNESS
#Moog #Matriarch #Improvisation #Oberheim #OB-6 #Mercury7 #Meris

INSTRUMENTS:
Moog Matriarch
Oberheim OB-6
Meris Mercury 7
Strymon Deco
Strymon Volante
UA Golden

NOTES:
A sequence runs on the Matriarch with a patch that adds random accents by periodically triggering an envelope with sample and hold. This adds a sense of extra notes or an extra voice. The lead sound is a tape-warbly keys patch on the OB-6. I love this patch as it just drips with nostalgia and introspection. The main reverb heard is both synths running through the Mercury 7 and then UA Golden is on a send from the main mixer.

*Thanks to Nicky Pe for the beautiful video clip.

*The title is an homage to a poem by Basho. He had spent a few nights at a monastery while traveling. When he left, having no money to give to the monks, he wrote this poem:

Sweep the garden --
All Kindesses,
Falling willow leaves repay.

RECORDING
Everything is recorded live and direct with no post production aside from normalization and limiting.

T.I.M. - Look Mum No Computer -

video upload by LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER

"Sam Battle, AKA LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER, returns with his latest and most personal single, T.I.M. The emotional track was inspired by Battle’s own experience with loss and grieving experiences that don’t work out as expected:

“Tim is a song about things not always going to plan, and not knowing how to express your feelings. It’s a song about an experience my wife and I had earlier in the year when her pregnancy didn’t go completely to plan.”

The track’s melody was initially devised at a show in Copenhagen, where Sam was improvising.

“The song was recorded on my analog synth, the melody I had for a while from the chorus. I kept playing it in livestreams and people picked it out as a melody they liked, I liked it too! It was all recorded live from the modular synth then I wrote the song over.”

LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER will headline London’s Oslo on the 22nd of November, and has recently announced an EU tour for 2024."

empty words are not what you deserve
half the man you’ve lost and half you’ve earned
is it a mistake a wretched curse
it crawls inside your skin, turns off your nerves
well how does it feel to be done wrong
how does it feel your underdone
how does it feel to not grow old
how does it feel to not have it all
its a shame you came and gone
didnt even stay a while
too old to be a clot
too young to even be a child
put past this sweet mistake
make tracks for the future
but dont forget about the way
it was so still and so perculiar
well how does it feel to be done wrong
how does it feel your underdone
how does it feel to not grow old
how does it feel to not have it all
cus like you ill be golden
like ill be golden till i die
like you i’ll be frozen
like you i’ll be frozen in my time
like you i’ll be still and laid out on a table
passing by
then like you ill be forgotten
making way for newer times
how does it feel to be let go

"Bored of the same old synth sounds? Newfangled Audio's Pendulate is refreshingly different. Pendulate is a chaotic monosynth that uses a brand new double-pendulum-oscillator to create previously unheard sounds - biting basses, searing leads, and gritty textures. It can smoothly fade from a sine wave to total chaos, with an expanse of territory to explore in between.

CREATE THE CHAOS
Pendulate’s chaotic oscillator is based on the physics of a double pendulum. What initially looks like randomness contains underlying patterns, interconnectedness, constant feedback loops, repetition, self-similarity, fractals, and self-organization. When designing the Pendulate oscillator we took great care to bring out these underlying patterns to create something both chaotic and musical.

The Soma LYRA-8 Experience

video upload by Patchwerks

"In this video Matthew (aka @EZBOT_ ) demonstrates the Soma Lyra 8. LYRA-8 is based on eight generators, which will be referred to as voices. Their design is not like a traditional subtractive synthesis VCO. Instead of having a linear or logarithmic dependency on control voltage, they resemble the tone generators in old electric organs. Hence the use of the term “voices” instead of “VCOs”. Lyra uses non-linearity a lot, and the voices are constructed in such a way that allows for non-linearity to express itself.
