New Voodoo Design MultiModular MuchoDrum multiple modular analog drum synth demo1 DIY

Published on Dec 18, 2015 J Tracy

"Multimodular MuchoDrum is 4 analog drum synths in one box with a vacuum tube preamp AND 4 drum pads.
All elements (drums and preamp) have individual outs and can be connected or used separately. External triggers and sequencers can also be employed for each synthesizer.
This is the FIRST AUDIO demo test of ONE of the analog drum synths meant mainly to be toms etc"

"The MultiModular MuchoDrum is a analog modular drum synthesizer comprised of 4 semi independant analog drum synthesizers connected physically only via one single main electrolytic filtered and IC conditioned power circuit I designed and handmade. There are :
-Sindrum
-Percus.Sin
-AnaSin
-Sin.Bl

Each section is actually an indepedant drum synthesizer module. Sindrum is a modified DS8 clone, the Percus.Sin a modified DS7 clone, the AnaSin a modified version of Eric Archers simple single sound trigger and the last is a NoizeDrum circuit a designed. Each can be plugged in via modular eurorack patch cable (1/8" aka 3.5mm mono audio cable) to the tube preamp which I also designed and hand built. The pre uses the most popular audio tube the 12au7 and has options for gain and heat which..rather obviously..control the amount of power to the tube and heater element respectively, allowing the user to distort or push the drum sound and really give it some grit or simply a touch of character. The modules vary from the widely variable first to the last two which allow user to vary only the harmonic signature and tone basically.
There are 4 piezoelectronic pads which can also be used to trigger each synth on the opposite side of the suitcase from the controls and patch jacks. CV in jacks also allow use of sequencers or an outside drum machine, computer, etc
The wooden suitcase protects and allows easy portability and use.
Very cool unit.
I only made 2 and am not selling the other, so there is only the one in existence. It is completely handmade in the USA and true analog and unique.
information on DS7/8's is widespread and available all over the web as well as examples of the sound on youtube so its not so original in each sound, just the combo, the package and the potential being different in totality and modified without huge variation in the individual units.
Examples of preamps potential sound can be found in guitar pedals and amps which employ the 12au7 tube extensively."

Fall in Love with my Modular (J.Dilla Theme)

Fall in Love with my Modular (J.Dilla Theme) from Andras Eichstaedt on Vimeo.

"Some afternoon impro based on the Fall in Love theme by J.Dilla - also adopted by Flying Lotus. All sounds are mixed in the Modular and recorded via an Akai z4 Sampler in 24bit 96khz stereo. The kickdrum and high-hats are from Mutable Instruments Peaks, snare is from the ladik D-333 Rom Player, the glitchy percussions are pre-recorded modular made sounds from Bastl Instruments GardPa. The kick and snaredrum are triggered by the "end of rise" (EOR) and "end of cycle" (EOC) outputs of a Makenoise Function.All other percussive sounds are triggered by the 4ms SCM (Shuffling Clock Multiplier). The Beat is sent through a DIY distortion/crusher box designed by my cousin Polyklinik. After that the beat is sent through the Roland Scooper that i occasionally use to create scatter effects. Bastl Instruments SKIS is used as a VCA and Envelope for all melodic sounds. I play the lead melody with a QuNexus from Keith McMillen."

Roland AIRA System-1, TB 3, TR 8, Mellow Ambient Groove

Published on Dec 18, 2015 farmyfarm

"Roland System-1, TR-8, TB-3 Ambient groove. Recorded with a ZOOM Q4 with direct HD Sound. Finally a chance to noodle a bit on the System-1. It sounds great and belts out a convincing analog sound. The keys are "playable" but they are lacking any expressive character via feel, depth, lack of aftertouch or weight. The opening male "AHHH" sound was actually an organ preset on my E-MU Orbit V2 that a played two octaves below a C1. It's got my same brain farts and fumbles but gives the System-1 a decent run through to appreciate the filter and the smoothness of the oscillators. As always thanks for watching!"
