Quiet Saturdays - Episode 5 - Live Studio

Published on Dec 12, 2015 Alba Ecstasy

"Episode 5 comes with an introduction into the world of modular synths.
The track starts slowly with the Z3000 MKII analog oscillator via Doepfer A-138 mixer, Mutable Instruments Ripples filter, MFB Dual ADSR and Doepfer A-132-3 DVCA - a minimum modular setup but enough to create a sequence with the Doepfer Dark Time.
Virus Ti2 is giving its pads, the Bass Station II comes with a jarresque FX, Radias is kicking the drums and the System-1 Promars offers the leads.

"This thing sounds great. Pairs great with the Zularic for the ethnic feel."

PT Audio DDO Test

Published on Dec 11, 2015 Randy Piscione

"Almost 7 minutes of fooling with a PT Audio Dual Digital VCO. I bought the PCB already built and then built a panel and wired it up. It's different for sure, capable of some cool sounds, from mellow and smooth to, uh, dare I say "gnarly!" Next I'll probably run it through the 'scope so I can see what's actually going on."

Introducing the Folktek "Matter" Eurorack Module

Published on Dec 11, 2015 Sir Folktek

"Matter - the first Eurorack module by Folktek. Available on folktek.com:
http://folktek.com/instruments/modula...

Here it's played as a drum synth to create little sounds and big sound.
This video is a little pointless as a visual and better treated as a sound presentation of Matter. Matter has the same synthesis as Folktek "Materia". The patch being played is simple and intended to showcase Matter...if it were a song it could certainly use a few things. I'm also just a few weeks new to modular and have no oscillators to speak of.

All sounds coming out of Matter except the reverberated and filtered wave part which is Aether (Folktek instrument) being lightly sequenced by the tiptop z8000. Matter is treated with reverb and delay in a few parts (which are self evident) but otherwise straight to the mixer. All triggers by the arturia beatstep pro, two of which are triggering 4ms peg with the adsr cv being sent to Matter - the end cycle for the adsr is being sent to intellijel adsr and triggering another Matter patch and another end cycle is being sent through Matter's vactrol modulation and jumpered. Otherwise, straight gate signals from the Arturia and direct to Matter patches.

Matter modulation is sending cv to the koma filter."

"Matter is the first of an ongoing series of modules and what will become an entire folktek system. This one starts from the dirt - the beats.

Officially up for sale now. One video is presented here and sound files to come (currently having some recording issues). The video is definitely not the greatest thing in the world. The initial price includes shipping worldwide. Each module comes with jumper cables, power connector, screws, manual and a special something.

**Note that each individual module is treated with a patina (aging) of the copper which results in the blue and green coloring. Givin that each is hand patinated, the look of each module with differ.

***There will be future add-ons available for this module which plug in to the front panel and direct the sound and function to a specific purpose. Future add-ons are discussed below.

*The first folktek module for the eurorack system will be hated for its standing at 23hp.
______________

"Matter" is drum wave synthesis. While it could simply be called a drum synthesizer, the method of play is designed equally as much to make the analog drum-based synthesis playable as waves as it is to make triggerable drum sounds. This means Matter can take a "kick" oscillator, for example, and use it to generate a bassline, a "snare" can create washes of noise with peaking resonance and so on. This allows for a very broad complexity of rhythm because triggering is not confined to a single point. That said, this module specializes in clicks and cuts style beats - little clicky sounds.
