"A Maths and an A-152 playing a drone together

Hello ! My name is Frederic Gerchambeau. I have made this movie and this music. The music has been made using an analog modular synthesizer including a Maths, an A-153 and an A-106-6.
Enjoy !"

JoMox ModBrane, ModBase generative drumming eurorack

Published on Nov 7, 2014 bigcitymusic

"Sound sources used for this patch include the JoMox ModBrane 11, ModBase 09 and Tiptop BD808. Drums are being run through the Audio Damage Freqshift and and Dub Jr. The Toppobrillo Sport Modulator is modulating the frequency shifter and delay parameters and chaos/fills of Mutable Instruments Grids which is generating the trigger pattern. Drums and FX are being mixed in the Low-Gain Electronics Submix."

Fonitronik Cascade 4hp Flexible Mixing & Attenuverting Toolkit on Sale

Follow-up to the video posted here. The Fonitronik Cascade 4hp Flexible Mixing & Attenuverting Toolkit is now available at Thonk.

Some details via the online manual here:

"Back in 2007 I sold DIY PCBs for an attenuverting mixer designed for eurorack. This project eventually turned into the 1st fonitronik product that came into the stores early in 2010. The module provided 4 channels and a final summing stage with a simple RC network to remove DC offset, when desired. Alas, with 12HP the module itself was rather large. Too large for a lot of people today. So I decided to redesign the module and I am now proud to be able to present the successor of the fonitronik mh01 as a DIY project via THONK, the CASCADE triple attenuverting mixer/processor in 4HP only. It does MIX, INVERT, ATTENUATE, ADD GAIN The module provides 3 channels of ‘attenu-gain-vertion’, each with it’s own bicolor LED. The input of each channel is normalled to a voltage source. There are two modes of mixing the three channels , which could be set by a jumper: CASCADE: output of channel #1 is mixed into channel #2 (as long as no cord is patched into output 1), output of channel #2 is mixed into channel #3 (as long as no cord is patched into output 2).
PARALLEL: both the outputs of channel #1 & #2 are mixed into channel #3 (as long as no cords are patched into the outputs).

Again, inputs are normalled to an internal voltage source. As soon as you patch the inputs they are removed from that source. The outputs are normalled to the internal mixing (depending on mode jumper), however, as soon as you patch the outputs they are removed from the internal mixing. This makes this module very versatile. Just guess: when using channel one for attenuverting a signal (Fig. a) you could still use channels 2 & 3 to attenuvert and offset another signal"

Electronica | Bazille soundset

"Eleventh instalment of ZenSound soundsets, Electronica comes with really fat basses, hard punching drums, warm analog keys and leads, fancy electronic sequences, science fiction effects, and wide open atmospheres.

www.zensound.es/soundsets/bazille-electronica/"

"Wherever possible I tend to use a sub oscillator to make a sound more solid and deep. I also prefer using modular and semi-modular synthesizers, as they allow more space to experiment and be creative while you work. It’s also important to leave subtractive synthesis behind and try to take new roads if you want to make interesting and innovative sounds. And the most important thing is to take some fresh air after you’ve finished working on a new patch!

ZenSound has created numerous high quality sound banks for virtual instruments such as Bazille and Alchemy. They also have a fantastic free sound bank for Tyrell N6."

"This circuit bent Yamaha PSS-560 makes lots of strange FM style sounds and strange scales that can get very spacey when you mix in the delay.
build quality

this Yamaha PSS-560 has been properly and precisely bent by me.
all the internal connections have been soldered properly.
all the panel mount hardware has been tightened properly with locking washers and then glued in place from behind using lots of hot glue for extra strength.
all wiring has been cable tied and hot glued in place relieve stress on soldering joints."

Ginko Synthese & The Arduino Synthesiser

via Jan Willem of Ginko Synthese

"We all need the auduino in our modulars... they sound gritty and nice, you can make a lot of dirty sounds with it.

I am going to make a DIY kit for it to transform it to an eurorack module... my question: do we need all those attenuators?

I think it is good to be able to offset your input cv and especially for lfo inputs you will be happy with an attenutor.
What is the auduino? see the video here: http://youtu.be/1LKmtJHSLF0 [below]

There are some functions I rarely use... So I prefer to skip two cv inputs and wire the most functional 3 with attenuators.
Since the auduino is fully open source you can choose your own input layout for changing the functions on of the cv inputs... that makes it easier to choose for 3 inputs instead of all 5 i think.

My idea is to make these kits as cheap as possible like €50,- or so just make the pcb and frontpanels and add some parts. you will only need to solder yourself... and add your own programmed arduino to the headers"
