"All Analog . Very Cool Synth . The Multi Cassa Desktop consists of three drum sound generators and four clock dividers which sequence the drum sounds. It can be clocked internally or from an external input to sync it with other synthesizers or clocks. Each sound can be triggered from two of the internal clock dividers simultaneously with their own individual velocities. A mix/crossfade knob controls the level of the clock divisions which then trigger the drum sounds. Each sound source has a control knob for Mix, Frequency, Resonance, and Distortion. Resonance can be used up to self oscillation, turning the multicassa into a three oscillator drone bank. When the external clock input is being used, the BPM knob becomes a master clock divider.
Features
Smart phone sized rhythm generator
Three independent drum voices
Controls for Mix, Frequency, Resonance, and Distortion for each of the three drum voices.
Four internal clock dividers
Each drum voice can be triggered by two clock different clock divisions
Individual clock velocity controls for accents and dynamics
Clocked by internal clock or by the External Gate input
Wood case"
"Patchblocks for Eurorack is a programmable electronic music module designed for the Eurorack format.
The module runs patches that are programmed in the Patchblocks Editor. Please visit www.patchblocks.com for the latest version of the editor. Patchblocks for Eurorack is designed & made by maker.ie under licence from Patchblocks.
A number of additional features for the Eurorack format are implemeted including voltage control of the buttons and knobs, scaling of voltages for modular synth levels and additional transient and ESD protection for the USB input to protect the modular system from laptop or desktop computer power spikes.
Programming the module is achieved by using the Patchblocks super intuitive graphical programming environment that requires no actual coding. There are already dozens of Patches designed by users over at the Patchblocks community. Patches can be uploaded to Patchblocks hardware devices and used for live performance or in a studio environment.
Users with coding chops can also put their skills into action by developing Blocks of code that can be shared with the Patchblocks community and included in Patches.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Module Size - 8HP, depth 30mm (skiff friendly)
The module requires 50mA of +12v, 25mA of -12v and 30mA of +5v to operate, and is normally powered from a Eurorack power supply distribution bus.
Audio I/O - Left and Right channel analogue audio inputs and outputs, voltage range -10V to +10V.
Gate / Trigger Inputs - for the Left and Right switches, voltage range 0-+5V, overvoltage protected.
Control Voltage Inputs - for the Left and Right knobs/pots, voltage range -2.5V to +2.5V. When a CV signal is present the knob/pot acts as an attenuator/level control, when no CV signal is present the knob performs the function assigned in the Patch.
Digital Audio and mid/serial data I/O - Using a 5pin IDC connector and ribbon cable connected on the back of the module, Left and Right channel digital audio and midi data (TX/RX) can be sent between modules, or to/from a desktop Patchblocks device.
USB - USB type B connector accessible at the front of the module, ESD and overvoltage protected."
End cheeks upgraded by Lamond Designs in solid Wenge with machined aluminium inserts for MIDI connections that double up as very convenient carrying handles!"
