Morphing Terrarium (pt. 1)

Morphing Terrarium (pt. 1) from katavist on Vimeo.

"This is a demo of the Synthesis Technology E350 ("Morphing Terrarium") eurorack module and its waveforms. Two Doepfer A-179s (Light-to-CV) were used as controller modules. Left hand controlled Borg filter cutoff, right hand speed of the LFO driving the sequence. This first part shows the xy- and z-outputs in normal mode. Part 2 will focus on the 'hidden' variable-phase-shift mode."

"This is part 2 of my demo of the Synthesis Technology E350 ("Morphing Terrarium", here in variable phase shift-mode (accessible via jumper 7 on the back of the module) that enables the waves to form lissajous patterns. I added a Doepfer BBD and an Analogue Solutions VCO to spice up the drones. Sorry for the compression. I wanted the video to be this long, but it also had to be under 500MB… Part 3 will demonstrate the use of Bank C waveforms as LFOs."

MrManson: modular set-up

flickr by Analogue Haven

"Beautiful DIY Eurorack case courtesy of MrManson at the Muff Wiggler forum.

"I've always thought that the 200e folding style case was just about a perfect combination of portability and functionality, so I had a go at making a Buchla style Euro case a couple of weeks ago...

It worked out really well - much better than I was expecting to be honest, and it's confirmed for me that form factor is a huge aspect of the patching experience for me. It's completely changed how I interact with my modular - it totally feels like an instrument now.

It's heavy though - guitar amp heavy. Having said that, it's the equivalent of a monster case, so I guess the weight goes with the territory, and it's nice to be able to fold it up and take it places."

Great job!

"Trying out my new Chroma Polaris II on the track Crush. Get the album for free at http://beem.se

On the album it's an Obx doing the pad (with a bit less cheese :) The main melody is originally a memory moog.

There's more Polaris on the recent Jennie Abrahamsson remix and the Deportees remix."

Playing Around with ProLoop by Trapcode

Review, pics, and audio on cl516 here.

"So this thing plays up to 6 loops at a time. Each loop can be pitchshifted up or down, and the user can select whether the pitchshift is locked / quantized to tones or not. I prefer smooth pitchshift, kinda like a digital tape varispeed. Each loop has forward or reverse, but it can also freeze in whatever position you're holding down on the screen. All of this is already enough for me, but they add a bonus: there's FM between the loops! Loop 1 can modulate 2 can modulate 3, etc. etc. Plus the user gets to choose between FM, PM or Ring modulation. Sweet."

"Clip from tape. Messing around with Korg MS20, Grendel Drone Machine and some outboard effects.

Can be used by navigators to plot courses through space-time, turning what once seemed like impossible intergalactic voyages into routine trips.
