New Kaleidoscope Mini Desktop Synth Incoming

video uploads by Vadjuse

This one was spotted and sent in via Meska.

Playlist:

1. Teaser. Kaleidoscope mimics a blip blop machine.

2. Teaser 2. Kaleidoscope mimics a boom-tysch machine.

Some raw drums exploration.

3. Kaleidoscope. Reload Zone. Post-Apocalyptic Ambient.

In this video I experiment with the generative sequencer of the Kaleidoscope.

The pattern is relatively simple:

1. VCA1 (which means it belongs to track 1) works in a cyclic mode, i.e. it restarts itself.
2. With its end it starts VCA2 (which means it belongs to track 2).

3. VCA2 modulates the period of VCA1, and VCA1 modulates the period of VCA2 (fm synthesis at the rhythm level). Because of this, the length of the pattern wanders a little and creates a pleasant dynamic.

4. Modulation envelope 1 (MODENV1) also works in a cyclic mode and restarts itself, but with a completely different period than the VCA1. This creates an additional rhythmic layer in the overall sound.

5. MODENV1 modulates the wavefolder level of track 2.

6. Track 1 modulates the frequency of track 2, and track 2 modulates the frequency of track 1.

7. All this is seasoned with a comb-filter in delay mode, which creates another rhythmic layer.

The presets for track 1 and track 2 used in this video can be downloaded and loaded into your Kaleidoscope. After the release of the synthesizer, I will publish these and other patches so that you can play with them and modify them yourself.

4. Kaleidoscope. Hypnotic Resonance

On the home stretch, Kaleidoscope will be released soon.
On the video new PCB version with
typeC plug
4 channel DAC
improved encoder filtering section

In this video I experiment with a relatively simple patch.
The cyclic modulator changes the symmetry of the triangle wave. From a symmetrical triangle to a saw. This changes the spectrum.

As a result, the filter resonance periodically amplifies individual harmonics. The filter frequency is modulated by the volume envelope.

Since the filter frequencies can be precisely tuned to the MIDI note frequencies, the modulation results in all the natural harmonics of only one octave being cycled through. This makes it seem like there is some kind of sequence in the patch, although in fact there is none - it's just a native process.

At high resonance values, the signal is overloaded in the filter feedback circuit.

The signal is also additionally overloaded in the overdrive block.

All this gets into the comb filter, which works as an echo.

I've been glued to this patch for about a day, which makes me a little sick of it, but I still like it.

feature walkthrough of bib, buzzrito, and blueberry - 3x 1U modules by plinkysynth and crey emporium
video upload by

"Meet Buzzrito, a large bee presiding over 16 sawtooth oscillators, a sub oscillator, and a peaky comb-filter, all in just 12HP 1U.

Buzzrito is the second collaboration between Alex Evans – creator of Plinky! – and Ray Yokell aka CrazyEmperor893 of The crey emporium. It pairs really well with Bib (fx) and Blueberry (sequencer) but easily integrates into any eurorack setup that can provide gate and pitch (V/Oct).

Buzzy is a very simple module to use: Pitch and Gate go into the left-most jacks, and glorious, wide stereo, plinky-like buzzing comes out of the right-most jacks. The main surface is a large 2D (XY) touch plate, with 7 presets scattered across its surface. Touching at a particular point changes the sound immediately, while dragging your finger records a looping automation following your finger movement, animating the sound. The remaining two jacks, X and Y, allow voltage control over this 2D morphing between presets. From simple triangle-tones in the bottom left, to rasping comb filtered super-saws at top right, Buzzy is a characterful oscillator in a small package."

Introducing Nudlhed's Noodle Rider

video uploads by Nudlhed

This one was spotted and sent in via Meska, whom I thank for giving me the opportunity for one of the silliest titles for a post to date.

via Nudlhed

"Noodle Rider is an analog musical instrument in Eurorack format, based on a four-track cassette tape player and modular synth. It modulates the pre-recorded audio loops from all four tracks of a cassette tape record, all of which are played simultaneously with the same controllable speed. Each track represents a certain voice of the instrument, that can be used as the source signals for further sound processing. It supports for pitch controlling through control voltages or programmable MIDI interface."

"IN A NUTSHELL
Noodle Rider modulates the pre-recorded single tones or audio loops from all four tracks of a cassette tape record, all of which are played simultaneously with the same controllable speed. Each track represents a certain voice of the instrument, that can be used as the source signals for further sound processing, such as envelope control, filtering and so on.

It supports for pitch controlling through control voltages or programmable MIDI interface and allows amplitude modulation for each track on final output.

By switching between cassette tape tracks, modulating them individually, and adjusting the playback speed, you can create different sound patterns, melodies, and even complete instrumental parts.

The instrument is a combination of two modules:

Base module, the player itself and the extension module Sidecar that provides envelope modulations and the gates sequencing to trigger them:

BASE MODULE
A eurorack four-track cassette player with variable-speed playback controlled by voltages or MIDI, including four audio outputs and one gate output. It is designed to be expanded and incorporated into other Eurorack modules or Noodle Rider extension modules.

SIDECAR MODULE
The extension, a 4-channel VCA controlled by envelope generators (AD/AR), with MIDI Gate Sequencer and Mixer built in. It is designed primarily to create gate controlled sounds when fed with the base module audio source, but can be used for other tasks in your modular system."
