Make Noise Records: Shared System Surachai Preview

To stop and start the video click anywhere on the screen. To hear audio click on the speaker icon on the top left. It's a five second video loop that will play until you either scroll down or manually stop it.

I haven't jumped on the Vine bandwagon yet for posts as five seconds isn't much, but I thought this one deserved a post. It's an interesting part of synth history as it is part of the Make Noise Records Shared System releases and a preview of Surachai's (of TRASH_AUDIO) upcoming release on the system. It is also kind of cool to see the routing of the patch scroll by. This is the first post with a Vine embed so there's that as well. :)

If you are not familiar with the Make Noise Shared System releases, see the label below. Note the label captures the Make Noise Records Shared System posts. For the Make Noise Shared system eurorack modular as well search for Make Noise Shared System in the blogger search box on the top left of the site.

Roland MC 303 ambient chill electro (demo #4)

"Using the Roland MC-303. Just a sad song, I suppose..."

Steady State Fate PROPAGATE is Now in Production!

"Propagate is a quad gate delay with independent and voltage controllable delay and gate output durations. Each delay output is normaled to the input below. Cascading stages allow for the creation of mini trills and sequences without the restrictions of quantized divisions. In addition to the four stage outputs, a master SUM output is provided to combine all the delay outputs into one sequential output. A MIX input is also provided for combining external gates/clocks with the sequential SUM output. The unit can be globally enabled/disabled via gate signals as well.

Each stage has provisions for CV control over delay time and gate length. Additionally, MASTER DELAY and SPACE CV inputs are provided for controlling all four stages at the same time from a single source and patch cable.

Two delay modes and independently available for each stage:

LO DELAYs are approximately 20ms - 8s, SPACE (Gate Length) times are up to approximately 3s

HI DELAYs are approximately 200uS - 0.1s, SPACE time is roughly the same as the delay. This timing is in the audio range of ~10Hz - 5kHz!

Other features include a manual trigger tied to the first input and LED indication on all output stages.

If all that isn't enough, the Propagate is infinitely expandable as a master or slave unit. That means you can cascade an indefinite number of Propagate modules to create huge sequences and delays! The last output and SUM stages of each module is connected to the following module's first input stage and the SUM output via an expansion ribbon cable.

Expect to see Propagate at your favorite store in about 6-8 weeks!"

The Birotron B90 - Video

Uploaded on Jul 1, 2010 tapediskmagic·2 videos

"The rarest manufactured instrument - the extinct and impossible to find Birotron playing worn out mixed tapes of string section, brass, violas, choir, and flutes across the keyboard.
The musician is Chris Dale who very kindly let me do the video.
So what did this instrument sound like with a decent set of unworn tapes???? That is a mystery.....Sadly we may never know."

The is the first and only Birotron post unless you count this flickr pic.

Update via synthlab in the comments:

"If you want to know how the Birotron sounds with unworn tapes, just listen to ' Tormato' by Yes.
Rick Wakeman, who commissioned the Birotron, uses
it all over the album. You won't be able to hear it in isolationn though.... "

benjolin, meet Rene

Published on Jun 19, 2013 Epoch Modular·3 videos

"This a little ditty I threw together for Ross and his buddies over at Vicmod, who were inquiring about the use of cvs from the benjolin, i.e. the pulse outs, triangle outs, XOR, PMW and Rungler outs. In the video I am using two benjolins. The runglers from each are being used to clock the x and y axes of the Rene, while the X and Y CV outs from the Rene are plugged into oscillators A and B on the benjolin on the left, whose Low Pass output we are hearing. The cut off of this filter is also being undulated by cwejman complex transient generator whose decay, hold and release cv parameters are being controlled by two triangle A outputs from the benjolins and the rungler out from the one the left. There is also a brief part at the end where I use the Synthwerks Force Sensing Resistor module on the right to experiment with the rungler loop cvs on the benjolins."
