Waveform Animator module - Eurorack modular synthesizer format

Published on May 1, 2013 RuprechtM·47 videos

"Waveform Animator - 8x LFO + 8x phase shifter in Eurorack (Doepfer) format.

From one simple input waveform makes 8 "phase shifted" waves.
Sounds like 8 oscillators from one input only."

RuprechM brought us all the Coron & Synare DIY drum clones. Looks like he's branching out to eurorack. I added a RuprechtM label them.

Bob Moog Officially Inducted Into the Inventors Hall of Fame

You might remember the announcement posted back on March 28 here and the video from Bob Moog's children and The Bob Moog Foundation posted earlier here today.   Well, today marks the day he will be officially inducted.  Take a break and reflect a little on the significance of this day in synth history.

The following went up on Moog Music Inc. on Facebook yesterday (today as I type this):

"Tomorrow Bob Moog will be officially inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame for Patent No. 3,475,623 - commonly know as the Moog Ladder Filter. We will be celebrating this great honor throughout today and tomorrow. More soon..."

MIcro Modular Patches

MIcro Modular Patches from Rastko Lazic on Vimeo.

"On my journey to Myanmar I could not take a lot of instruments with me.

One of the instruments I do have with me is the Nord Micro Modular (http://www.vintagesynth.com/clavia/nordmicro.php).

It is a very small hardware synth and a joy to play and program.

I found it very easy to use as the virtual patching is similar to a hardware modular synth.
After a very short time I had twenty patches most of them self playing but many made to be used with a midi controller, in my case I use the excellent FaderFox UC3 http://www.faderfox.de/uc3.html.

It is really a shame that this synth is not in production any more and I thank Richard Scott (www.richard-scott.net) for recommending me it.

The Micro and the small Make Noise modular are going to be the core elements of my performances this somer in Europe and here in South East Asia.
They make a very powerful package and can fit in a small bag.

I wish you all a nice day here from Yangon

Rastko"

Malekko Richter Dual Borg Filter In the Flesh

Details via Malekko where you'll find additional samples, manuals & order info.

"The Malekko Richter series in Eurorack modular format, offer the same great sound, ergonomics, musicality, and quality that made the Wiard 300 series legendary, at a fraction of the cost and size.
The Dual Borg contains one Borg I (left side) and one Borg II (right side). The Borg is a versatile audio processor. The concept comes from a marriage of two divergent influences, the Buchla 292 Low Pass Gate and the Korg MS20 filter.
The Borg is different from most filters in that, at its heart, is a vactrol. Vactrols are combination light sensor/light resistors that possess interesting sonic traits. Often described as “rubbery” or smooth in quailty, vactrols are also know for their relatively slow response. This response creates a natural, very musical decay. In Low Pass Gate (LPG) mode, the Borg will act as a filter and a VCA simultaneously. In combination with the characteristic vactrol response, this creates a signature sound that is desired by many synth enthusiasts, especially when used with very short, percussive patches.

But the Borg is no one-trick pony, and LPGs are not for every patch. When the resonance knob is turned “on” with a click, the Borg becomes a 12db filter with loads of personality. Gorgeous resonance, influenced by the MS20 and shaped by the vactrol design swells from subtle warmth, to a roaring howl that is unique to the Borg!

A continuously adjustable low pass to high pass control is provided (a notch filter is a mix of these two). There are two audio inputs, and two CV frequency inputs (one with attenuation). Two outputs are provided, output 2 has a slightly more aggressive resonance. Removing a jumper on the back of the Borg makes the resonance “scream” even more!

The Borg I (left side) has a slower response and a more mellow sound compared to the Borg II (right side). Thanks to its longer decay time, the Borg I is best for recreating the famous Buchla bongo patch, and the Borg II is best for a faster, more aggressive response.

The signal path of the Dual Borg is selectable: Series or Parallel.

In Series mode, when you plug into either in 1, or in 2, or even both inputs (as a mix), the signal is routed through the Borg I then the Borg II filter and both out 1 and out 2 have the same signal.

In Parallel mode, a single input into in 1 or in 2 is routed through both filters side by side, and a single output (either out 1 or out 2) will give you a mix of both filters. If you have only one input but two outputs, out 1 is the Borg I filter only and out 2 is Borg II only. If you have two inputs and two outputs, then each filter is completely separate: in 1 and out 1 is Borg I, in 2 and out 2 is Borg II.

The Borg is 16hp wide, 25mm deep, and consumes approximately 80mA power.
THE DUAL BORG FILTER IS DUE TO SHIP APPROXIMATELY APRIL 25TH."
