Metasonix Wretch Machine Videos by Smokey Quartz

Wretch Jam #1 Published on Apr 12, 2014
An experiment. Metasonix S-1000 Vacuum Tube Synthesizer and R-56 Vacuum Tube Spring-Reverb Module. No keyboard or controller, just the S-1000 ran through the R-56. A lot of the noise, feedback, and distortion is coming from the R-56. Everything is competing for the attention of those little springs in the R-56. Lo-Fi, noisey, droney, and live.

The video is from an old digital camera. The audio is recorded straight into the computer with a little bit of EQ and compression. I can't say this is representational of the S-1000 or R-56 sounds, it is just what came out tonight.

Wretch Jam #2 Published on Apr 13, 2014
Another all tube improvisation, this time with the Metasonix S-1000 synthesizer and D-1000 drum machine being ran though the R-56 Spring Reverb module. The Elektron A4 is sending some triggers to the Metasonix gear but is contributing no sounds. Everything is competing for those little reverb springs.

Video is from an old digital camera. A mono audio signal being recorded straight into the computer with a compression and EQ.

Wretch Jam #3 (with Drone Cat) Published on Apr 14, 2014
Another with the Metasonix S-1000 and D-1000 being ran through the R-56 reverb module. Storge' the cat assisted.

More reverberated, vacuum tube farts. Recorded during a total eclipse of the moon. 415.2014

Metasonix S-1000 synthesizer and D-1000 drum machine ran through the R-56 reverb module. Interrupted by kitten.

Wretch Jam #5 (with Drone Cat) Published on Apr 16, 2014
A quick drone with kitten. The Metasonix S-1000 vacuum tube synthesizer ran through the R-56 spring reverb module.

Wretch Jam #6 Published on Apr 19, 2014
Another wretched jam with the Metasonix Wretch Machine, D-1000, and R-56.

Wretch Jam #7 Published on Apr 20, 2014 Smokey Quartz·8 videos
Another hypnotically horrible Wretch jam with the Wretch Machine and R-56 spring reverb module.

Wretch Jam #8 Published on Apr 21, 2014 Smokey Quartz·9 videos
A wretched improvisation with the Metasonix S-1000 Wretch Machine and R-56 Spring Reverb module. Storge' the cat lends his support.

New Quincas Moreira Quad Transient Detector Module

Quad Detector test Published on Apr 18, 2014 Quincas Moreira·20 videos

"It works :O !!!"

There have been previous posts featuring Quincas Moreira, however this is his first module. Via Quincas:

"This is my first original module design. I'm mostly a builder but I'm starting to get the hang of the CAD software and basic circuit theory. This module takes any incoming audio signal and creates a pulse out every time the audio passes the threshhold set by the knob. I intended it for the use you see in this video, using the computer audio interface to program modular beats and trigger events like envelopes and sequences. But you can also connect raw drum triggers, microphones, guitars, whatever.... The circuit is 4 times the same path, which basically is a preamp with ridiculous gain -> rectifier -> comparator -> inverter. The threshold is set by setting the initial signal attenuation.

I do plan to make PCBs and panels available to the DiY community, as well as selling them pre-assembled. At this point I'm deciding if it will be a stand-alone box which would work with any system, or if it'll be a module with 3U, 4U and 5U panel versions... The 5U version might become a 'Hex Detector' to make good use of so much panel space."

And via Quincas on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge: "Hello friends, presenting the Quad Transient Detector, my first foray into module design. First time I designed a PCB and it worked fine after minimal troubleshooting. Makes cool solid gates out of any audio signal, so you can use your soundcard to sequence your modular drums, or any other use you can think of..."
