TRASH_AUDIO & Muffwiggler Event About to Start! - Notes From Malekko, Harvestman, & Hexinverter

Malekko, Harvestman, and Hexinverter, along with numerous other manufacturers, will be at the TRASH_AUDIO & Muffwiggler event starting at noon today in Portland, OR. The following are a few notes from each on what to expect at the event from their respective Facebook pages. If you are anywhere near Portland, you do not want to miss this event.

"Saturday May 24th Portland Oregon.
Please join us for a day of synthesizer and pedal talk followed by an evening of awesome performances from Richard Devine, Oliver Dodd, Twin Braids, Rodent and Todd Barton. Stupid awesome video synth by brownshoesonly. And most importantly 30 of the best damn synth manufacturers in the industry. Come say "HI"!"

"TOMORROW. I will be present. I will also have the entire Iron Curtain Electronics line available (excluding the Suboctave). The oscillators are just being finished now and they feel great."

"KORG VOLCA series, MS-20 mini & GUITAR - a 70ies influenced live AMBIENT PSYCHODELIC SESSION spiced with some KRAUTROCK and lots of improvisation and some video art (time laps., Dresden/Saxony....).

Other synths in the track: Roland Juno 60 and Nord Modular.
I have described in the video (filmed with 3 cams), what Synths/pedals are playing. You don't have to guess the different sounds. Recorded without overdubs, Noise Reduction and Mastering
ENJOY LISTENING AND WATCHING and ask me if you have any questions:-)

The iPad reads zMors Audio Engine. Not sure if it's this as the UI skin is different.

Hexinverter Mutant Clap DEMO1

This module will be at today's TRASH_AUDIO/Muff's event in Portland today.

"The Mutant Clap is an analogue percussion synthesis module for modular synthesizers. It will be available from hexinverter.net in Fall 2014 in the eurorack modular format. Here is the first sound demo for it!

==Intro==

The TR-909's clap featured one control the user could adjust: volume. That was not okay with us.

I'm a huge fan of house music. I love the 909 clap. So this is a module I agonised over features I wanted it to have for a long time. And here it is. I hope you find it as useful as I do!

====Primary Features====

Just like the other Mutant Drums, the Clap is a highly versatile module. It is actually a voltage controlled LFSR noise oscillator as well as a powerful percussion synthesis engine!

- feature-rich, analogue handclap percussion synthesis reminiscent of the 909
- pitch control of noise generator means you can create everything from vanilla 909 claps to broken, chiptune-like alien sounds
- doubles as a voltage controlled, Commodore64-sounding noise VCO via the NOISE output and PITCH CV input
- SUSTAIN control lets you crank up the clap's sustain and use the module as an abstract synth voice with external inputs!
- external input allows you to synthesise claps from virtually any sound source you plug in
- built in internal reverb effect derived from clap tone
- reverb decay forms the decay of the clap sound, and is fully voltage controllable from short reverb "snaps" to long, whooshing tails!
- you can select between internal and external noise sources as the source for the reverb sound generation, opening up really interesting sounds
- DRIVE control lets you dial in anything from clean to extremely overdriven sounds
- bandpass filter cutoff control

Synthesis Technology e580 Resampling Mini-Delay Eurorack Module

"This is one of the most versatile delay units for Eurorack analogue modulars available. What makes it special is a cv-controllable additional tap (of the multitap delay line). You can vary the offset of this, creating amazing polyrhythms or simulating adjusting the tape heads.
--
Operating modes:
clean
BBD: simulates a bucket drigade device based delay
tape: simulates a tape echo
The delay output always gives the full delay time set with the according control, the tap output gives a delay time which stands in a percentual relationship to the delay time. This value is being set with the Tap-Offset control and/or the offset CV. Send the two outputs to two channels with hard L/R panning and you will get nice ping pong delays.

Feedback can be either positive or negative and goes up almost to a very dense self-oscillation. A jumper on the PCB sets if the fed back signal comes from the delay out or the tap out. Latter setting gives very interesting effects when modulating the tap parameter.

the synthesis technology e580 resampling mini-delay emulates the classic sounds of digital, bbd and tape-based delays with 4 parameters under voltage control. the 14hp wide euro module accepts either +-12v euro standard power or +-15v motm/frac power. using a 40mhz dsp and 24-bit codec, the e580 recreates the pitch-shift modulating of bbds with the variable bandwidth and noise floor without costly bbd ics. in tape mode, wow& flutter, tape saturation and non-linear distortion model classic tape units without the bulk and maintenance. there are 2 simultaneous audio outputs: a straight delay and a variable tapped delay. the tap position is a percentage of the main delay time. this allows very short delays (<350us) as well as long delays (750ms). both tap position (‘offset’) and main delay time are voltage-controlled over a -5v to +5v range. feedback is jumper-selectable from either the tapped position or the main delay. this flexibility can generate standard ‘rhythmic’ delays (feedback from main delay) or a series of 'pre-delay reflections' (tapped delay) which sound very different from each other."
