New Eurorack Modules Coming From Doepfer


Doepfer will be showcasing the above new modules at SUPERBOOTH25. Details on each follow.
Check with dealers on the right for upcoming availability.



Module A-119-2 is kind of a dual version of module A-119 without envelope follower. Instead two amplifiers are available and the module width is 4 HP only.

The module contains two amplifiers with separately adjustable amplification levels. Each channel is equipped with an overload display. The module can be used also for stereo signals, e.g. the stereo output of a smartphone.

Controls and displays:

Level 1/2: manual control of the amplification in the range 0 - about 45.

Overload 1/2: overload LED, begins to light up for output levels beyond about 10Vpp (+/-5V)

In 1: audio input 1 (monophonic or stereophonic, see technical details)

In 2: audio input 2 (monophonic)

Out 1/2: audio output (monophonic)

Technical details:

for higher amplifications the two amplifiers can be daisy-chained

normalling options: the signal applied to socket In 1 can be normalled to socket In 2 in different ways by means of a jumper on the pc board:

socket In 1 is connected via a mono patch cable (standard patch cable) to a monophonic signal and this signal is normalled to socket In 2 (i.e. the same input signal for both sub-units): jumper on pin header JP2 in upper position

socket In 1 is connected via a 3.5 mm stereo TRS cable to a stereophonic signal and the second channel of the stereo signal is normalled to socket In 2: jumper on pin header JP2 in lower position

no normalling: jumper is removed from pin header JP2

all inputs and outputs are DC coupled. Thus the module can be used also for the amplifications of control voltages.

LudoWic - HORIZONTAL FALL (working on a new album...)


video upload by LudoWic music

"Making sketches for new tracks. In the coming period I will dedicate myself to making a new album. Andrei Tarkovsky’s spiritual and poetic way of making art continues to inspire me enormously. (that’s why this video shows some short footage of his films by the way). For this album I want to use Trautonium, vintage synthesizers, classical pipe organs and electro-acoustic equipment.

April 19 I have been invited by Het Concertgebouw to present my new album Tickets:

If you are curious about the Mixtur Trautonium, in addition to previous posts here, this article is worth a look. From that article:

"The central module with the screens is one of the 'subharmonic generators' that give the Mixtur-Trautonium the 'mixture' bit of its name. The modules appear to be held in place with quick-release thumb screws, which is an interesting idea."

leploop Multicassa Demo


video upload by LepLoop



https://www.leploop.org

"The Multicassa is an electronic instrument composed of three cassa generators controlled by an analog trautonium like rhythm generator.

The term trautonico is inspired by a vintage instrument, the Mixturtrautonium, invented by Oskar Sala, a student of Hindemith. His research elaborated on since the 1930s was based on another, more simple instrument, the Heimtrautonium, manufactured by Telefunken in the 20s. The Heimtrautonium being one of the first electronic instruments for the living room."

Vintage synth featured in 1957 film "Different from You and Me."


video upload by Robotussin Vintage Synths

"The dangers of electronic music, according to a film about the menace of homosexuality from 1957 called 'Different From You and Me'. It features the Trautonium, a synthesizer from the 1930s that was created by Friedrich Trautwein and used by Oskar Sala. The film, which was called 'The Third Sex' or 'Bewildered Youth'(!) when released in the US, is about a prosperous German family whose son is lured into a seedy world of gay men, nude wrestling and avant garde electronic music by an effete friend and a licentious antique dealer.

Terrified that their son is not into women, the teen's parents induce their cleaning lady to seduce him and awaken his more 'natural' desires. This ends in the month's arrest for arranging prostitution!

While the film is based on homophobic ideas, the original version has some nuance and depicts some of its gay characters in a relatively balanced light for the time. Being gay was still a crime in Germany and elsewhere in the 1950s. However, before it could be released in West Germany censors insisted on changes, weaving in more anti-gay rhetoric, making the gay characters more criminal and removing scenes that showed gay men in positions of authority and respectability.

For me, it's remarkable only for the scenes featuring the synthesizer, but it is interesting that even then electronic music was associated with same-sex relationships, given that 20 years later the gay communities would be such a driving force behind the foundation of the electronic music scene.

I have uploaded all the scenes from this film that feature the Trautonium to my YouTube channel, which is also called Robotussin Vintage Synths."

LudoWic is an artist and producer of electronic music. The field he works in is the transitional area of music, art and design, in which he experiments
with modern technology in combination with old vintage techniques and gear.
LudoWic was invited by D-Sound for an artist-in-residence at Theatre "Kunstmin" located in Dordrecht the Netherlands. He asked video-artist Roel Weerdenburg to join him during this residency.
Since graduating from the Utrecht School of the Arts, Roel Weerdenburg has focused on building audiovisual installations. These installations are mainly aimed at the re-use, modification and upcycling of old electronic video equipment.
Using feedback loops, noise generators, tube televisions and vintage analog synthesizers, LudoWic and Roel created a world in which they balance between control and surrender.

Der Versteinerte Wald, ein weltweit bekanntes
und bestauntes Naturdenkmal in Chemnitz.
In zweijähriger Arbeit entstand das Album 'Petrified Forest',
meine Hymne an das steinerne Weltwunder.

Im Januar 2017 wurde das Album erstmaligvor den Versteinerten Bäumen in Chemnitzlive aufgeführt.

Es folgten Konzerte in der St.Laurentius Kirche Leipzig,
in der Nazarethkirche in München und im Planetarium Münster.

An weiteren außergewöhnlichen Orten wurde "Petrified Forest" aufwändig inszeniert, im Landesmuseum für Vorgeschichte in Halle (Saale),
in der Maschinenhalle der Zeche Westfalen
und im Völkerschlachtdenkmal zu Leipzig.

Mit dem Abschlusskonzert in der St.Markuskirche Chemnitz,
schließt sich für mich der Kreis.

The album 'Petrified Forest' was created in two years of work,

Concerts followed in the St. Laurentius Church in Leipzig,
in the Nazareth Church in Munich and in the Planetarium in Münster.

"Petrified Forest" was elaborately staged at other unusual locations, in the State Museum of Prehistory in Halle (Saale),
in the machine hall of the Westfalen colliery
and in the Monument to the Battle of the Nations in Leipzig.

With the final concert in the St. Mark's Church in Chemnitz,
the circle closes for me.

Lumanoise V4_Trautonium_Patch


video upload by LepLoop

"Lumanoise V4 Euro Rack patch by @nanocyde_artist
Day 18 of #jamuary2023 - Trying something that I’ve had in the back of my head for a while - controlling a vactrol-based oscillator module diatonically to create a nice melody. The frequency response is non-linear but having a ribbon control means you can mark the notes. Notice how the higher octave is twice the width of the lower one! The Lumanoise v4 turns out to be very versatile in this configuration, even as it produces unintuitive results sometimes.
It’s also worth noting that the LEP module and the Doepfer controller were both inspired by the Trautonium.

Doepfer A-126-2 Frequency Shifter and Trautonium


video upload by Vykaar Tones

"First try out of the new A-126-2 Frequency Shifter on the output of my ribbon controlled Trautonium. Signal route in to A-138n mixer is A-111 VCO2 sine output, A110 sawtooth, A110 square wave to A-163 VDIV frequency divider and A-118 white noise. Output of A-138n goes to A-104 Trautonium Formant Filter and from that to A-131 VCA controlled by pressure CV from A-198 Trautonium Ribbon Controller. The A-126-2 audio in comes from the VCA and the output goes to mixer with reverb and delays. Random CV from A-118 is occasionally added to control the pitch of the A126-2 oscillator."
