Saxophone & Chords - New Pianist Firmware & Jam!

video upload by NOH-modular

"The Pianist is a eurorack polyphonic chord sequencer. It offers eight pitch information that you can choose from to build chords, or have it smartly control your chord modules like Mutable Instruments Plaits, Qu-Bit Chord v2, and more!

This video goes over the brand new firmware update which makes the Pianist module compatible with the CIZZLE & MCO mk2 from the friends at ‪@busycircuits‬ :)

It aims to inform you on how to operate the Pianist and how it can be implemented in a modular synthesizer for musical chord progressions."

"Pianist Noh Modular - Chord progressions at your fingertips"

A New Update from the Pianist, with an Ambient Patch!

video upload by NOH-modular

"The Pianist is a eurorack polyphonic chord sequencer. It facilitates harmonic chord progressions within modular synthesis. It just got a new firmware update (v1.2) with two key features that are explained in this video. These features are as follow:

• Three shortcuts for faster editing:
copy pasting by holding the button pressed when accessing a chord
setting a chord repetition by holding the button on 'go to'
setting the chord progression loop by holding the button on 'then'

• A new "JUMP" function that replaces the old page functions. This will make the Pianist jump to a random chord within a user-set range when the gate is triggered.

This video shows the step-by-step patch on a modular system to set-up the Pianist with the Mutable Instruments Plaits and compose a fast but musical chord sequence using the new JUMP function."

"The Pianist is a eurorack polyphonic chord sequencer. It facilitates harmonic chord progressions within modular synthesis. It just got a new firmware update (v1.1) with two key features that are explained in this video. These are a new compatibility mode with the Music Thing Modular Chord Organ, and a new option to select the root of a scale you can edit your chords in.

This video shows the step-by-step patch on a modular system to set-up the Pianist with the Chord Organ and compose a fast but musical chord sequence using the new scale root option.

"The NOH Modular Comper is a eurorack gate sequencer module for chord accompaniment​. Play a gate sequence from a bank of widely used jazz, bossa nova, and pop chord patterns. Patterns range from Swing to straight 8th notes, and are selectable in three time signatures (4/4, 7/8, 3/4). Add a groovy humanized bass that is dependent on the genre of the chord pattern, and perform with randomness for generative music (or lucky musicians). Additional outputs are meter and 8th notes.

This video shows the step-by-step patch on a modular system to set-up the Comper and compose fast but musical chord sequences using the chord and bass gate outputs taken from the module.


- AVAILABILITIES -
The Comper will be available to buy very soon ! :)"

"The NOH-modular Oregano is a Eurorack LFO CV source with mix and random outputs for modular synthesizer. It has four independent LFOs with frequency control and range switch. Each LFO generates synced triangle and square waveforms, with a mixed output from two user-selectable triangle waves. Finally, there is a 4-bit DAC where each square wave is assigned a bit to create pseudo-random voltage."

The Pianist - Getting Started Guide video upload by NOH-modular

"This video is a Getting Started Guide for the Pianist module, with voice-over this time! It aims to inform you on how to operate the Pianist and how it can be implemented in a modular synthesizer for musical chord progressions."

"The Pianist is a eurorack polyphonic chord sequencer. It facilitates harmonic progressions within modular synthesis and has great tools for live performances and composition."

Lavender - a Versatile Eurorack Stereo Mixer video upload by NOH-modular

"This video is a demo for the Lavender module. It aims to inform you on how to operate Lavender and how it can be implemented in a modular synthesizer."

"Lavender is a stereo mixer with versatile inputs and outputs. There are four inputs with independent left / right channels, the left one normalizing to the right for mono compatibility. The fifth input can work as a stereo input or a mono input depending on the switch. Finally, the module has a stereo voltage indicator with tunable gain."



Olive - a Performative Eurorack Gate Module video upload by NOH-modular

"This video gives an in-depth review of the module and how it functions, in addition to having a small demo creating a patch with the module. It aims to inform you on how to operate Olive and how it can be implemented in a modular synthesizer."

"Olive is a eurorack utility module based on input/output gates. It facilitates performances with centralised gates, mutes, or triggers within modular synthesis. Olive's strength is its normalized inputs, creating gates at the outputs when nothing is plugged in. It is also very compact and holds all of the functionalities in only 4HP!

Hence Olive can act as a:
• 4-channel mute (audio and CV)
• momentary press gates (PRESS ON - RELEASE OFF)
• latching gates (PRESS ON - PRESS OFF)"


Thyme - an Efficient Eurorack Utility Module video upload by NOH-modular

"This video gives an in-depth review of the module and how it functions, in addition to having a small demo creating a patch with the module. It aims to inform you on how to operate Thyme and how it can be implemented in a modular synthesizer."

"Thyme is a eurorack utility module based on attenuverters. It facilitates mixing, offseting, inverting, or attenuating within modular synthesis. Thyme's strength is its normalized inputs and outputs, creating offsets or mixing the outputs together when nothing is plugged in. It is also very compact and holds all of the functionalities in only 4HP!
Hence Thyme can act as a:
• 4-channel mixer (audio and CV)
• offset generator
• inverter
• attenuator"

Federico Solazzo Bank NEW

Federico tells us "my aim in designing these sounds was to make this synth react and interact with the users, "forcing" them to listen and react as well! Like a massive synth in a real acoustic instrument behavior box! It will never sound the same, and it will take time to learn how to play with its reactions".

Federico Solazzo is a sophisticated and eclectic pianist of funk-soul origins. At the moment, he’s playing along (as keyboardist, musical director and programmer) with Italian pop-star Alexia on her world tour and with the band of the amazing Jamal Thomas (Maceo Parker’s drummer).

"Northern Mirror, composite video Noho THeatre Group's 2011 July 18th production"

via otoskope who brought us the bugbrand and Palle Dahlstedt custom pencil interface videos here.
"In July I made a collaboration with traditional Japanese dancers and musicians, and this is one of the performances. The NoHo Theatre Company in Kyoto commissioned a piece, and I chose the title Northern Mirror, and composed it in my studio. In Kyoto, director Jonah Salz together with me and the performers created a story around my title, and then performed it at the beautiful Oe Noh-gakudo, one of Kyoto's oldest Noh Theatres.

The electronic pre-recorded part was made from alternate-playing piano sounds, and then processed in a Nord Modular G2, using evolutionary algorithms and custom gestural mappings to control the parameters of complex shuffling algorithms."

otoskope also let me know that the stages are sacred. You have to wear special socks placed in front of it and no electronic devices are allowed on stage. Speakers were discretely placed in front which made monitoring the acoustic musicians a challenge.
