"Meet the Unicorn, finished in 2015.

I decided to build this combined, double-Ambika. after reading that Olivier Gillette had released a new OS version which allowed chaining of two Ambikas. I contacted Adrian Hallik about creating a center-joint mod for his fantastic case design; Adrian was immediately responsive and helpful.

I built many voicecards for this project, including a number of extras to give additional flexibility in the synths' long-term use. Here is the currently installed voicecard configuration:

Left side: four SMR filters; one SVF filter; and one Moog-ish ladder filter.

Right side: four 4P filters; one SVF filter; and one ladder filter.

As I mentioned, I built spare voicecards, so that each box can be revised to have either all SMR or all 4P filters. I also built two extra SVF filters.

Finally, I have built a lot of DIY-project gear, but the Ambika is absolutely at the top of the heap, in terms of design and usability. I am still discovering new magical things it does. To put it mildly, I am in awe of Olivier Gillette's design and engineering skills."

Darwin Grosse Interviews AudioCubes Inventor

via the Percussa newsletter

"Hi everyone, this is Celine from Percussa. I'm the other half of the Percussa AudioCubes Team :-)

I'm very happy to annouce that Darwin Grosse interviewed Bert Schiettecatte last week about the upcoming MIDIBridge 3 release for AudioCubes!

As you know Bert is the inventor and designer of AudioCubes and the main person working on the AudioCubes software and hardware and has been working very hard on this release, which introduces the exciting Topology mode.

In this interview, Bert talks about how he got involved in music technology, his background, what it takes to build music technology products and how he started Percussa and developed AudioCubes.

Listen to the interview (podcast) here.

He also goes over how the AudioCubes technology works and what is inside each of the AudioCubes and some of the challenges he had to tackle in developing AudioCubes.

Bert has been at it almost a decade, listening carefully to what AudioCubes users need and want. Here is what Darwin says about the interview:

"Bert's story is a somewhat common one - a guy with a vision of a product that works hard to make it happen. But when you start talking about all the different things that he had to learn - and master - for this implementation to succeed, it seems like an impossible task. So how does one person make the impossible happen? That's what we talk about. I hope you enjoy this one - it is very revealing, but also points to one of the most innovative products out there."

Black Sun by Atomic Shadow & Thoughts on the KORG KingKorg

"This track was made using only the KingKorg synthesizer. Two of the patches make use of combinations of inharmonic DWGS waves and X-mod/ring mod waves respectively. Various wave combinations were made on the fly during recording, as were LFO amounts and effect settings. This synthesizer shines at real time control."

See this post on Atomic Shadow for thoughts on KORG's KingKorg synthesizer.
