MODULAR SYNTH JAM #1 - Techno Patch

Published on Apr 1, 2014 DivKidMusic·13 videos

"The first in a series of patch / synth jam videos. We Vine (search DivKid and follow us if you use it) a lot but 6 seconds isn't enough to share a patch properly.

These will be really simple for some and more interesting for others so we hope you enjoy them.

Here's some patch notes:

Kick - Envelopes are triggered via a quarter note midi clock and is a sine wave from an Intellijel Dixie going through an Intellijel uVCA II. With another envelope going to the Dixie pitch to create the kick and thump.

Clap - is a Bubblesound uLFO running at audio rate with the shaped sine (if I remember correctly) going into the WMD Geiger Counter, pushing the pre-amp and wavetable processing.

Hats - these are the high pass noise output from the Blue Lantern Mr. Noise module.

Noise) the sequenced noise sound in the white noise output from the Blue Lantern Mr. Blue module going through a Bubblesound VCA4p with the gain amount modulated by the GinkoSynthese TapLFO (synced to midi clock) with the random output affecting the VCA gain.

Bassline - all 3 rows of the Make Noise Brainds and 2x Pressure Points combo going into a Mutable Instruments Braids. Top rows goes to Braids pitch (1v/oct) input with the quantizer on, second row goes to Braids Timbre modulation and third to the Braids Colour modulation. All the pressure points outputs pass through a Thonk At-At-At for attenuation. Braids internal envelopes are trigger automatically (Braids auto-detects pitch changes) which is affecting the internal VCA level. So Braids acts as a single voice all in one module. The Braids output goes to a SOB filter from Animodule then goes to a Doepfer A-199 Spring Reverb, which then passes into a Happy Nerding FM Aid. The FM Aid then goes to a Malekko Borg 2 filter. Braids also has FM modulation coming through a Livewire AFG with the FM modulation depth adjusted manually.

Each part is mixed together on a pair of STG .mix modules. And as you'll see there's a fair amount of manual wiggling going on.

EURORACK MODULAR - 5 x Low Pass Filter Shoot Out

Published on Apr 8, 2014 DivKidMusic·13 videos

"So this is a bit of fun, take it as a challenge, listening test, a chance to pick out a favourite from a blind audio test or however you want.

Here we have 5 filters (not in order) for Eurorack modular synths. The AniModule - SOB, Mutable Instruments - Ripples, Erica - Polivoks VCF, Malekko / Wiard - Borg 2 and Livewire Frequensteiner. They all just have a single saw wave input.

IF YOU DON'T WANT THE REVEAL AND WANT TO TRY AND PICK EACH OUT PAUSE IT AT 2.31

Inspired by Matttech's audio filter shoot out I figured ... "I have 5 low pass filters, let's do a blind test and video to show how they differ".

Here's Matttech's filter shoot out on Bandcamp -

I've set this up with a poll on the Muff Wiggler forum so you can pick your favourite. It's cool if you want to pause the video and pick a favourite or try and pick out which filter you think is which. Or just watch it and enjoy!

EURORACK MODULE - Animodule - SOB Filter Overview Videos

Published on Mar 21, 2014 DivKidMusic·13 videos

"The Animodule SOB filter is a pretty amazing bit of kit, 2 inputs that can clip with a wavefolder, state variable filter and tonnes of personality and character. It can handle smooth well but for me excels at more driven and characterful filtering. It also passes CV acting as a slew limiter and self oscillates creating a crude oscillator, some heavy percussive thumps and hardcore kicks along with going really slow to make for a useful LFO should you run out mid patch."

EURORACK MODULE - Animodule - SOB Filter Part 2

"Here's part 2 of the SOB Filter overview video. The SOB is a great state variable filter (with built in wavefolder) for eurorack modular systems from AniModule."

SOB Filter Overview - Wavefolder section with Oscilloscope

"here's a quick view of the audio from that section in a software scope."

EURORACK MODULE - WMD - Geiger Counter - Wavetables Demo

Published on Mar 16, 2014 DivKidMusic·13 videos

"Just a fairly quick video looking at each of the wavetables in the WMD Geiger Counter. Simple triangle wave going in through a VCA for some amplitude modulation then manually cycling through each wavetable.

Hope you like the video and feel free to comment and like the video etc.

EURORACK MODULE - Touellskouarn - Kea Da Strakal Brulu

Published on Feb 20, 2014 DivKidMusic·13 videos

"For more information and details of the new version of this module head to the official site here - http://www.touellskouarn.fr/catalog/i...

As with many "firsts" there's a few things I'd change but hopefully you like our first eurorack module overview video. This one has been "in the making" for ages, moving between files, and computers exports etc. New ones should be more streamlined.

As with all things DivKid we're open to your thoughts so comment, message us, get in touch etc.

Subscribe for more coming soon, next up I'll have videos for AniModule "SOB" filter and "TrAnimodule" speaker / output modules.

I'm 'ben_hex' on MuffWiggler.com if you find yourself on there.
