Playing the Summit - Carlo Mezzanotte

video upload by carlomezz

"A few sounds I've programmed on the Novation Summit, 16-voice polyphonic bi-timbral synthesizer with three FPGA ('Oxford') oscillators per voice, dual analog filter, FM, RM, sync, overdrive, digital effects, and a large modulation matrix.

All original sounds, mostly single patches, plus a few multis.

Qualche suono programmato sul Novation Summit, synth polifonico bi-timbrico a 16 voci con 3 oscillatori FPGA ("Oxford") per voce, doppio filtro analogico, FM, ring mod, sync, overdrive, effetti digitali, e una estesa matrice di modulazione. Tutti suoni originali, in maggioranza singoli, più qualche multi."

Jolin Lab SINGOLI / 7 input DC coupled utility mixer / expander / explanation and demo

video upload by BRiES

"SINGOLI by Jolin is a DC coupled mixer - which means it's suited to mix things like lfos, envelopes, etc. You can just as well use it for mixing down audio and when connected to the performance mixer TUTTO&SEMPRE it can act as a 7 input mono expander for that module.

SINGOLI has one special trick up its sleeve: the T or transient output. This output generates a short gate or trigger whenever the master output (O) on SINGOLI crosses a certain threshold. I've found this threshold to be around 2.5V. This output can for example be used the make a clock or trigger pattern from lfos or audio sources for envelopes, drums, ... or to trigger other events on your system."

Schlappi Engineering NIBBLER / first patch / binary for the people

video upload by BRiES

"Nibbler is used for just about everything in this patch (sequencing melodies, triggering drums and providing stepped modulation). Everything else that needs to be said is right there in the video. I kindly suggest (if you have the time and the energy) you just watch/listen first and then do a rewatch while reading the captions to get to grips with what's happening. This is just a basic patch using only the most basic functionality of both NIBBLERS but nonetheless it can get a 'bit' confusing.

Thanks to the wonderful people at Schlappi Engineering for their trust and support.

PS: Spielberg please make it happen.
PS2: Federico if you're reading this: I'll start working on the SINGOLI video soon
PS3: if you're into LPGs, you should really have a look at what Herzlich Labs is doing."

Superbooth 2023: Jolin Labs - New Modules

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Federico from Jolin Labs at Superbooth 2023, who introduced us to their new mixing utility features. The first module is called Ascolta, which is a dual preamp with an input, output, envelope follower, and Peak out output for each channel. The channels can be chained on the back with a header, and you can have an L and R from the output. The next module is Knobi, which can take up to four inputs that are mixed and flow into an attenuator controlled by a big knob. The signal flows into an inverter, which is especially useful since Knobby is AC-coupled, so you can mix audio and CV signals.

The next two modules are paired together but can be used standalone. TuttoandSempre is a performance mixer with four stereo inputs, a stereo sender with an active patch bay, individual VCA, and a balanced mono output L&R, and a combined stereo signal. Finally, Singoli is a seven-channel mono mixer that directly connects to TuttoandSempre through a cable on the back of the module but can be used as a standalone unit since it has its own output.

Ascolta Dual Preamp Follower Price: 149 Euros

Knobi Complex Voltage Mangler Price: 189 Euros

TuttoandSempre Endgame Mixer Price: 489 Euros

Singoli Combining Transient Detector Price: 169 Euros"
