Din Sync DrumDokta2 [BSS DR-110 Clone] Eurorack Module Update

via Din Sync

"Here's a look at the production prototype next to its grandfather, thats a panel mock up so it isn't as sharp as the final will be.

pre-orders will start soon, once we've worked out the final costs."

See this post for a panel graphic.

kurodama – Concertodrone Mk3 (Casio SK-1) impro

"Improvising with the loopper and my new Concertodrone Mk3 (circuit bent Casio SK-1).
All sounds are coming from the Casio, no FX have been added (except for a subtle bit of reverb)."

Follow-up to this post where you'll find a video of the synth.

New ELECTRIBE 2 Review! Part - D MIDI control, feat TENORI - ON

Published on Jan 12, 2015 VJ FRANZ K

"World's First? Tenori-On controlling Electribe 2! A Great Combination!
This is an example of using external MIDI input to control the Electribe 2, you could also use a laptop, iPad or some other type of sequencer. This is just a simple "proof of concept" but I go into a lot of detail about both these machines - if you are a fan of either, this how-to discussion will interest you!"

7 Minutes with an Ipad Synth - Photophore Synth (Taika Systems Ltd)

iTunes: Photophore Synth - Taika Systems Ltd.

"This week the Photphore Synth by Taika Systems Ltd

Photophore is a unique instrument that uses flocks of up to 100 sound generators to create rich, organic synthesizer sounds. By controlling the behavior of the flocks you can make Photophore sound like a choir of synthesizers or, at more extreme settings, a swarm of angry insects.

Unlike other digital synthesizers, Photophore creates warmth and character in a completely new way. Instead of modeling analog circuits, it models animal behavior. Photophore’s sound engine is made up of flocks of oscillators that move through a virtual three-dimensional environment. Their motion is controlled by a special behavioral algorithm and physics simulation that keeps the oscillators in tune with each other, but allows for a certain amount of natural drifting and detuning. This creates rich timbres that are perfect for crafting massive bass sounds, complex pads and searing leads. "

Sorry for the so-so audio.
Some of the frequencies are rather high so do turn down the volume a bit.

"*** COUPLE OF CORRECTIONS / TIPS ***

1) The trigger input does not lock anything to a tempo, I was mislead by a couple of "lucky" patches where it seems to do so. My bad! :( The trigger input actually triggers a single grain. So with density in the mid position 12 o'clock no grains are sewn by default but the trigger input will create a single grain. So audio rate triggers / rhythmic patterns etc can all be achieved by trigger input alone.

2) Not really a correction but a tip, the phasey sound that's apparent in several places is due to the high grain density and overlap of the grains. When the input is static many grains of the same pitch stack up creating this sound. With granular synthesis at least some mild random modulation would be there on playback position, grain size or pitch to create further depth. The perception of depth is more perceivable even with a subtle use of modulation create FX such as chorusing and choir style FX on vocals. You can skip to the patch where I use several CV sources at 10:51 to hear these effects. You can also see the output fed back into itself as a modulation source at 09:05

Here's the overview for Clouds! They'll be a second video going through the other modes on Clouds (pitch / time stretcher, looping delay and an experimental spectral mode) but this is all the features with trigger input, CV, loading saving, audio settings and all the blend modes in my usual feature overview style.
