Electric Cow EC909 - TR-909 drum machine / TB-303 synth for Atari STE/TT/Falcon

- demo & sample pack video upload by ako

"Quick look at the Electric Cow EC909 drum machine / soft synth for Atari ST/TT/ Falcon and a sample pack made from it's TR-909 sounds. It's a combined TR-909 and TB-303 emulator in one programme (a lot like Steinberg / Propellerheads's ReBirth) which is neat and features PCM samples from a TR909 for the drums (also neat) which can be edited in terms of pitch and attack. My understanding is their wares were more aimed at the falcon but will run on STEs and TTs given that this was released in 1998. EC909 can create single‑bar patterns (in real time on the Falcon), and then export them as AIFF or AVR (Both 8‑ or 16‑bit formats, mono or stereo). The program can also generate a MIDI File from your pattern. MIDI triggering for drums is also possible. The manual, which is still online, contains instructions for loading your own samples into to replace the stock 909 samples using the included CandiKit program, very cool! this lags noticeably on the STE, but still works well enough to play back the drum sounds for sampling.

What is Vox Humana?

video upload by George B.

"As an organ technician, Vox Humana has always been an organ stop. A sound from the Reed family of organ sounds that imitated the human voice. So when a viewer of a video I made about string ensemble sound said it sounded like a Vox Humana, I didn't get the connection. After I asked him to send me some examples he did. Gary Numan Cars was one of those examples. Well, the lead sound at the beginning does sound like a string ensemble sound. So In this video I examine this sound and discuss it's origin."

Daft Punk / J-Dilla / MachineDrum Sounds, Inside a LinnDrum. Da funk

video upload by Program 17

"This is the exact drums Daft Punk sampled for Da Funk, J-Dilla Drums, and Elektron Sounds inside the Linn drum. I made the EPROMs using a Oberheim Prommer. It was not an easy task. But I took layered drums. Sampled them, turned them to binary, then program them for the Linn drum. I loved daft punk growing up. I’m from Detroit. I use to hang around J-Dilla at the time. I owned a Linn drum since I was a teenager. It was my dream to program sounds for a Linn drum. I spent thousands of hours programming a Linn drum and often times wondered how to make my Linn drum sound like daft punk. Well I did it. Inside of using a SP-1200, these are the sounds inside a Linn drum.

Kick and snare are the daft punk drums.
The hat is Machine drum.
Kicks from a machine drum are in the toms and congas.

The J Dilla claps and snares are the same exact method J Dilla would use on his Drums. After reading the book “dilla time” I was inspired to make the drums a little bit off. If you look at the actual original binary files of the Linn Drum on a spectral graph or analyze the way form, you will notice that the drums are not perfect. Prince always said you need air to make it an instrument so I gave the samples a little bit of room in the beginning so it kind of sounds off but it’s not off because you can program the timing with the pitch now exactly like a clap trap, which is ironic because that’s what I heard where the Drum clap originally came from.

The best groovebox he's ever played | Akai MPC Key 37 G2 live performance

video upload by Jay Hosking

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
A live synthesizer performance using only the MPC Key 37 G2.

To be clear: I bought this synth with my own money, thanks to the support of my Patreon community. So while I recognize that the following praise seems effusive, it's the truth.

I got into hardware through grooveboxes. I started with the Novation Circuit and got more complex from there. The groovebox—sequencer, multiple timbres of synth, drums, samples, and effects—is my happy place. And while many devices have been good, I've never found "the one", that one groovebox that does everything you want it to do. Until now, maybe.

I've played with MPCs quite a bit over the last few years, but this newest generation, and this model in particular, is the one. It's a combination of things: a mature platform with fast loading and workflow; every conceivable sound type I want, from synths to samples to piano; a robust collection of effects, with great reverbs, delays, and ways to mess up a sound; more tracks than I'll ever need for a song; a sequencer without the limitations of 64 or 128 steps; clip launching; simple audio recording in; auto-sampling to capture your own sounds; MIDI in and out via 5-pin DIN and USB; MIDI learn with peripheral MIDI controllers that works flawlessly; USB multi-track audio recording that just works without a hitch; so much more.

This Eurorack filter has AUTO DYNAMICS! // Flow 3 from Joranalogue *MEGA DEMO*

video upload by DivKid and Joranalogue Audio Design

"As we'd expect from Joranalogue, they take inspiration from classic, seemingly simple functions and turn them into musical and technically impressive devices. Flow 3 is a compact filter that builds upon on the idea of an auto wah, it's a filter with 'auto dynamics'. There's on board modulation, that can modulate itself or your modular system, stave variable filter outputs, CV over everything and an easy to play with layout in 6HP."

Update: Press release follows:

Joranalogue Audio Design announces availability of Flow 3 auto-dynamic filter module for Eurorack that sounds bigger than it looks

STEKENE, BELGIUM: having made its impressive-sounding debut during a showcase at SUPERBOOTH26, May 7-9, FEZ-Berlin, Germany, high-quality Eurorack music synthesiser modules-maker Joranalogue Audio Design is proud to announce availability of Flow 3 — an auto-dynamic filter that sounds bigger than it looks, thanks to the novel variation on the classic state variable filter topology that lies behind its compact 6 HP panel — as of August 25…

Firstly, Flow 3’s core integrator saturation of its simultaneous — low-pass (LP2), attenuates frequencies above the filter frequency (or cutoff) at -12 dB/octave and self-oscillates at a phase of 180°; bandpass (BP2), selects a band of frequencies around the filter frequency (but below and above that the attenuation slope is -6 dB) and self-oscillates at a phase of 90°; and high-pass (HP2), attenuates frequencies below the filter frequency at -12 dB/octave and self-oscillates at a phase of 0° — outputs provide for a sound that is clean yet distinctive.

RESONANCE response is exceptionally smooth — it, too, can easily reach self-oscillation (at higher feedback levels), the temperature compensation and exact calibration effectively transforming Flow 3 into a reliable quadrature sine/cosine VCO (Voltage-Controlled Oscillator) with tight pitch tracking.

The ace up Flow 3’s sleeve, however, lies in its auto-dynamic nature — helpfully highlighted by the non-erasable AUTO DYNAMIC FILTER graphic positioned across that compact, clean-cut 6 HP panel. After all, it is a filter that can modulate itself, achieved by a combined DECAY generator/envelope follower circuit controlling the filter frequency over an adjustable range; either fire decay envelopes from external triggers, or flip it to AUTO mode to follow along with the incoming signal’s amplitude envelope (or both, simultaneously).

Saying all that, then, creating heavy-hitting analogue kick drum sounds becomes a breeze, but, with a bit of patching, Flow 3 can even be used as a spectrum splitter (or crossover), cleanly separating the full audio range into low and high portions, for dual-band signal processing — perfectly possible thanks to the Linkwitz-Riley filter response at minimum resonance.

Ultimately, users of Flow 3 can clearly get carried away as the Eurorack module concerned creatively takes the old auto-filter concept to new voltage-controlled heights, hearing for themselves exactly what the fuss was all about at that impressive-sounding SUPERBOOTH26 showcase!

Coming complete with a 16-to-10-pin Eurorack power cable, two black M3 x 6 mm hex screws, two black nylon washers, and a hex key, Flow 3 is available as a 6 HP module — measuring 128.5 mm (H) x 30 mm (W) x 52 mm (D) with a +12 V: 45 mA/-12 V: 45 mA maximum current draw, reverse polarity (MOSFET) power protection, 100 kΩ impedance inputs and 0 Ω (compensated) impedance outputs — through Joranalogue Audio Design’s growing global network of authorised dealers at a MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) of €215.00 EUR or $225.00 USD.

Silicon Machine | Daniel Miller & Alexander Hacke in conversation | FFOSSO

video upload by FFOSSO

"We sat down with Daniel Miller and Alexander Hacke to talk about the sounds, machines, and ideas behind Silicon Machine, a new FFOSSO instrument sampled directly from Daniel's own collection of original synths and drum machines.

Daniel traces the lineage back to the earliest days of Mute Records: the Korg 700S that powered "Warm Leatherette" and 'T.V.O.D.,' the rented Space Echo, the four-track sessions where everything was played by hand because there was no other way to do it. Gear that wasn't prestigious, wasn't expensive, and wasn't supposed to sound like much, and did anyway.

Alexander curated the collection, with patches designed and programmed by both Alexander and Daniel for FFOSSO. As curator, Alexander brings his own perspective: a musician whose practice spans decades of Einstürzende Neubauten's industrial explorations, finding music in unconventional sources and understanding intuitively what happens when machines are pushed somewhere they weren't designed to go.

Together they talk about limitation as a creative force, the character that comes from imperfection, and why the rough edges of early DIY electronics can still feel more alive than many things made today. Silicon Machine is the result: cold basslines, broken rhythmic pulses, stark analog textures — raw, mechanical, and quietly menacing.

Generative #ambient #synth patch: Juno 6 and DX 7 sounds mangled and driven by Shoal on DistingNT

video upload by voltryx

"A walkthrough of a slow-evolving generative ambient patch built around the Expert Sleepers Disting NT and the Shoal plug-in (https://github.com/ormermodular/shoal).

Shoal generates eight channels of notes and gates, which I route internally through CV-to-MIDI and send to an AMYboard running a mixture of Juno-6 and DX7-inspired synth voices. The audio then returns to the Disting NT for bitcrushing and Kirbinator-based mangling before passing through the Delay Magneto algorithm on the FX Aid.

This is only my first exploration of Shoal or perhaps just dipping my toes in. I look at its global scale and tempo settings, per-channel sequence lengths and evolution controls, plus the mute, density and note-range controls available from the main page.

I’m also using a small Python app I vibe-coded to assign built-in and custom AMYboard presets to different MIDI channels. Let me know in the comments if you’d like me to put it on GitHub.

Patch:
Disting NT → Shoal → CV-to-MIDI → AMYboard
AMYboard → Disting NT Bitcrusher/Kirbinator → FX Aid Delay Magneto → Mixer

nonlinearcircuits Dichotomy Paradox 1

video upload by cirtcele

"Updated version of Divine CMOS. Wonderful module for harmonically rich sounds or use as a complex CV patter and gate generator. Thought the LEDs were superbright purple but turned out to be a mild light blue."

via nonlinearcircuits

"This module has been thru a few cycles. The original idea for the design is from an article in Electronotes EN#98 by Lester Ludwig, spectacularly titled ‘A Square-wave Frequency-division Sub-octave Cross-product Module, it’s relationship with Lie algebra, and other related processes’ or more simply known as The Cross Product Module.

The frequencies of two VCO signals are separately divided by /2, /4, /8 & /16 ratios. The corresponding divisions are ANDed together and the results, along with all the raw divided frequencies are mixed together in various ways. You end up with a very harmonically thick, animated sound.

I did a full bloat CMOS (Ludwig’s design was TTL) version for a 4U panel back in 2008 or so, but changed the AND gates to XOR gates for a more ring-modulated effect. Then a minimal, slimmed down eurorack version, called Divine CMOS. This just used the XOR’d signal and outputted a signal determined by the pots.

After some requests for an expanded version, I re-visited the design.

The Drum Machine That Was Too Big to Handle | Oberheim Stretch DX

Kodamo Mask 1 EX MK2 + GEOMask - Custom Editor & Librarian.

video upload by GEOSynths

"I've had the Mask 2 EX MK2 for a few weeks now and am very pleased with how it Sounds and most of all, the Price! I paid just short of £400 from Juno Records, which for today, isn't bad for a Polyphonic Synth.

The Mask 1 Keyboard has been out for some years now and while there was a Desktop released (EX Mk1) this version now seems like a complete Product.

In the Video I go over the controls, however one aspect of their Mask 1 Family is that you can only Edit from the front panel using a Data Entry Knob, so with the help of Gemini and Claude, I built a web based Editor and Librarian, which I demonstrate in the Video.

It should work with the MK1, but not sure about Keyboard as I don't have one, but it's essentially the handling of Factory Patches and User Patches that are different, so should work.

The Editor will be released for Free on Sunday August 23rd on my next Live Stream, where I will be covering the Mask 1 EX MK2, answering your questions and making some Patches Live."

Parallel mode with Span setting 1 Activates all eight channels on each gate - just like "Unison" mode on a classic poly.

Also, enjoy a new visual score by Norman Freund, realized sonically by Del!

/ norman-freund
/ user-780024068

Here is Del's full description of the realization:"

"When I first encountered Norman Freund's score, I noticed the shapes were sketched quite roughly. In order to implement the score in a structured way, I made the decision to 'quantize' the original drawing to a grid. I hope I have suceeded in maintaining Norman's intent for the piece.

I decided on a grid of 64 'bars' at 120 bpm (each bar 2 seconds) Total time = 128 secs - 2:08

I identified common types of graphic entities in the score which would act in a similar sonic way and decided that there would be no implication of pitch in the score, just timing.

Colors were assigned to each type of graphic for visual and compositional reference:
Red - vertical line with spiral top
Light Blue - vertical line
Pink - horizontal line
Dark Blue - horizontal line with circle incorporating clockwise arrow indicator
Orange - rounded rectangle
Green - divergent lines (crescendo mark) and convergent lines (decrescendo mark)

Each entity in the score was recorded from a modular setup and arranged in the DAW (Reaper).
The sound palette came from the various reels of the project iterations.

Below are descriptions of two different ways in which sounds were mapped to graphics:
1. The Green divergent/convergent lines are the most persistent entities in this score. They are treated algorithmically. Each green entity has a different splice from "12 string iteration 0 reel". The methodology was to speed up each splice in Morphagene forwards from 0 to 100% (Green light) precisely over the time specified in the quantized score by the divergent lines and then back to 0 in the same way as specified by the convergent lines. For this I researched and discovered the Rossum Control Forge and used this to apply the precise voltage over time. An interesting technique learned and likely not one I would have considered otherwise.
2. The Red shape is a composed (ie non-algorithmic) collage of the individual sounds from iteration 3.

Other modules used were QPAS, Wogglebug and Mordax Data."
