MFB DRUM-04 Bass Drum Eurorack Module

"The DRUM-04 module is based upon the circuit used in the MFB-503. It offers a tight bass drum that is adjustable over a wide range in both pitch and decay.

Due to the construction of DRUM-04 as a modular component, the bass drum’s sound parameters Attack, Decay, Tune and Pitch can be addressed through CV-signals from envelopes, LFOs sequencers etc.

The bass drum offers the following functions:
Attack adds a short impulse to the sound. By mixing this with the main bass drum sound, the result offers added percussiveness.
Decay controls the release length of the sound. The decay can last up to 2 seconds.
Tune sets the bass drum’s basic pitch between approximately 30 Hz and 100 Hz.
Pitch controls the duration of a applied pitch modulation. The depth of this modulation is fixed.
Drive defines the amount of overdrive applied to the bass drum.
Noise adds a variable amount of noise to the sound.

The module accepts different trigger signal types. These signals do not necessarily need to be analogue or digital triggers. You may also use drum pads, piezo-pickups or even dynamic microphones. Use the sensitivity control to adapt for the input signal. Dynamic trigger signals will not only affect the volume but also attack, decay and pitch.."

Sailing on the Dirac's sea (4 voice polyphonic Doepfer analog modular system)


Published on May 13, 2013 GruithuisenCityMan·442 videos

"Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this video and this music. The music has been made using a 4 voice polyphonic Doepfer analog modular system.
The modules used were :
Doepfer :
4 x VCO A-110
4 x ADSR A-140
2 x VCA A130 + 2x VCA A-131
2 x Mixer A-138
2 x VCF A-120
2 x XP VCF A-106-6
2 x LFO A-145
2 x LFO A-146
Vermona :
1 x Quad MIDI Interface QMI
Plogue Bidule has also been used for the reverb effects and Audacity for some additional improvements of the sound.
Enjoy !"

Gameboy Advance MIDI Synthesizer chiptune (Spritesmod) First test


Published on May 13, 2013 acemonvw·23 videos

"Just started messing around with this. By no means is this an awesome song.

Spritesmod has an 8-track sequencer and records 4 bars. There are 5 MIDI channels:
Channel 1: Duophonic synth
Channe 2: (Forgot)
Channel 3: Sweeping synth
Channel 4: Polyphonic synth
Channel 10: Drum kit... which is basically just noise generation.

Sadly, I can't hook this up to a legitimate sequencer because it doesn't play notes correctly. I tried hooking it up to my Spectralis and my MC-808 and both failed to play back properly. Notes would get stuck and I believe it only really likes an input of 1 MIDI message at a time. I might get better use out of this sequencing one part at a time and recording that and then multitracking it. It could also be that MIDI sequencers are sending a lot of time events which clog the cable... Just a thought I suppose.

More (and hopefully better) to come!"

The Korg VC-10 Vocoder on Astronauta Pinguim


KORG VC-10 Talking Music Ad via this post on Astronauta Pinguim.  Click through for a review on the VC-10 including videos and pics.

"Produced between 1978 and 1982, the Korg VC-10 vocoder was the most popular among the many vocoder models made in the 70’s by several manufacturers. When the VC-10 came on the market, both the Korg - originally called Keio Electronic Laboratories - as the voice decoder (or vocoder) had some years of existence. What Korg did was attach a synthesizer to something that already existed and that was what made this instrument extremely popular: portability and the convenience of having a vocoder that didn't require external instrument to generate audio signal and modulate the pitch. They created a "self-sufficient” vocoder – you could only plug a microphone into it and was all ready to go!"
