I continue to get requests for posts outside of the posting guidelines, so this post will go up on the 1st of the month moving forward as a reminder.

soundmachines Modulör114 Profile Pic & New Site

The soundmachines Modulör114 site is up. New profile pic of the semi-modular desktop synth. It definitely looks nice.

"We designed the MODULÖR114 as a perfect entry door to the eurorack modular world by putting together a great assortment of modules with the added functionalities of digital fx and advanced connectivity.

As the icing on the cake we implemented a hidden monosynth that you can recall at the touch of a button! This innovative capability matches perfectly with one of the potential uses of the MODULÖR114 synth, the classic lead and bass monophonic synthesizer. All the red labeled jacks will be connected together in the classic signal flow. Without using patchcords you can start playing just by plugging a usb keyboard in!"

New Ornaments & Crimes Polymorphic CV Generator Euorack Module

Uploaded on Apr 23, 2016 Tim Churches

"This video provides a very brief overview of version 1.0.0 of the Ornaments & Crimes firmware for the ornament & Crime DIY eurorack synthesier module by Max Stadler (mxmxmx). This enhanced firmware has been a collaborative effort by Patrick Dowling (pld) (who did a great deal of the work, and all the heavy lifting), Max Stadler (mxmxmx) (who designed the module and wrote all of the original firmware) and Tim Churches (bennelong.bicyclist)."

via GitHub:

"ornaments & crimes is a collaborative project by Patrick Dowling (aka pld), mxmxmx and Tim Churches (aka bennelong.bicyclist) (though mostly by pld and bennelong.bicyclist). it (considerably) extends the original firmware for the o_C / ASR eurorack module, designed by mxmxmx."

And additional details via mxmxmx:

"it can now be found here. and it runs on the (almost) eponymous module.

huge props go to pld and bennelong.bicyclist who've basically rewritten the firmware from scratch and mutated the thing beyond recognition, both in terms of functionality and performance.

everything is, of course, open source and we've even made a little schematic for you (NB: post-hoc). speaking of: special thanks must also to the ever-generous olivier gillet, on whose code much of this new functionality builds. (and the hardware, too, gradually gravitated towards being fairly MI-esque). not so much the user interface, which does everything the one-knob-per-function doctrine interdicts: displays, menus, encoders ... the payoff is that you get a polymorphic module that can serve several functions somewhat more transparently:

there is still a improved and enhanced quantising ASR (analogue shift register) function in ornaments & crimes, now named CopierMaschine, but several other "apps" have been added. these "apps" are selectable on-the-fly, without having to reboot the module or power-cycle.

The apps currently available in ornaments & crimes are:

Turing Machine MkII techno workout

Published on Apr 26, 2016 vcoadsr

"Improvised eurorack techno workout using the Turing Machine MkII module from MusicThing Modular and Thonk.

All the melodic sequences are coming for the Turing Machine which is being clocked by the Circadian Rhythms Tiptop module (which is also triggering the drums and Basimilus Iteritas).

The initial repetitive sound is coming from the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas, then in comes the Make Noise Telharmonic who's pitch CV & trigger comes from the Turing Machine via the Expert sleepers Disting Mk3..

Drum duties are the Jomox ModBase 09 & Tiptop HH.

For reverb and delay I'm using the Make Noise Erbe-verb & Echophon as sends from my Mackie Onyx 1220i."

Roland SH-101 / RS-09 and Boss DR-55 Demo by Jordan Passmore

Published on Apr 26, 2016 Jordan Passmore

"In this video the Roland SH-101 is doing a sequenced bassline (which was programmed via the SH-101's internal sequencer), the Boss DR-55 the drums (also sending a sync trigger to the SH-101 so it stays in time) and the RS-09 the strings/organ. I used a Boss DM-2w analog delay on the SH-101 rather briefly and on the RS-09 through-out the video. It was mixed on the Roland M-16E with minimal EQ and the master stereo signal was finally sent to my Roland SuperUA audio interface (jesus, I have a lot of Roland stuff all of a sudden)."

KOMA Poltergeist Jam - Superbooth16

Published on Apr 26, 2016 DivKidVideo

"Here's a jam in stereo with the KOMA Poltergeist. No way to share the full quadraphonic output but the stereo mode works well for demo some of the mixers functions."

100PercentOB6

"Here is my first Multitrack Demo of the OB-6. It is 100 Percent OB-6, inclusive the drum tracks, I programmed on the OB-6. There are no external effects nor Plug-Ins. All is recorded with Apogee ensemble pure. Enjoy it."
