SSSR Labs. SM042 KOTELNIKOV: Modulations

Published on May 19, 2016 rpocc

"This is almost unedited video showing KOTELNIKOV modulated by audio-rate oscillations.
The second module is a VCF in self-oscillation mode, sequenced by the same source as the SM042 module. (Elektron Analog Four is used as sequencer, which sends 1v/Oct pitch CV and unipolar envelopes for AM directly to this mini-system)

Since VCF CV input is also 1v/octave, a dramatic sound enhancement is possible using FM techniques as well as audio-rate Waveform Modulation and Hard-syncing."

via Modularsynth.ru:

"The SSSR Labs KOTELNIKOV is a digital voltage controlled wavetable oscillator module with morphing feature and built-in transient generator. This oscillator can generate number of sounds with diverse spectral content and combine them in various proportions. Kotelnikov can be used as a usual oscillator in a traditional subtractive synthesizer system, but it is also possible to use it as a complete voice module as it features shaped timbres, envelope generator and amplitude modulation.

Technical highlights

The sound engine sampling rate is locked to pitch and varies from 4.2 to 133 kHz, which gives very clear highs and uniform spectral content over the full range.
The Pitch resolution is 6 cents and CV input sampling rate is 6 kHz, which gives smooth analogish FM-ready CV response.
Analogue Amplitude Modulation input is bipolar, linear, rail-to-rail.
Kotelnikov contains 80 waveforms organized in 4 banks:

New Eurorack Maker Svarog Audio Introduces the Aspid Eurorack Module

Published on May 19, 2016 rpocc

Note: this is the first post to officially feature Svarog Audio on the site. The Aspid is their first module. Previous videos by rpocc primarily featured SSSR Labs.

Video description followed by full details on the new Aspid module:

"Eurorack module from Russia!

The Aspid Analog fuzz module by Svarog Audio was made especially for working with bass synthesizers and modules as well as kick, electro and bass-guitars. It is assembled by hand in accordance with the classic analog scheme. Only the best quality parts have been used, such as the original circuit LM308N and EPCOS film capacitors."

Playlist:

Aspid Processing Synthetic Bass Line
Svarog Aspid: Processing Dubstep mix
Svarog Aspid: Processing Electro Groove
Svarog Aspid processing Analog Kick Drum
Aspid Processing Oscillator

via Svarog Audio:

"Analog fuzz 'Aspid' by Svarog Audio was made specially for working with bass synthesizers and modules, 'kick' and also electro and bass-guitars. It's assembled by hand in accordance with the classic analog scheme. Only the best quality parts have been used, such as the original circuit LM308N and film capacitors EPCOS. It is screened to avoid interference.

The MIXING knob is used for mixing raw and processed incoming signals. This knob is meant for processing bass pieces and kicks. It's common knowledge that the overload effect reduces low frequencies to a certain extent. To avoid trapping of sound waves take advantage of the knob.

The VOLUME knob is the volume of effects. At its original position the mixing handle works as volume of the initial signal.

Tone enables you to regulate the quantity of a high frequency spectrum in the effect's sound.

GAIN is the degree of distortion.

FAT adds 'richness' to the sound structure.

CLIP MODE changes the structure of distortions.
The first mode gives a softer sound typical of vintage distortion effects. The second mode is meant for hard distortions, the sound acquires a lot of harmonics.

The 'GAIN' knob works together with 'fat' and 'clip mode'. Each of them affects the other two. It allows to obtain different variations of sounding the module."

Like an Ardcore or Euroduino it can host whatever you program yourself into an ATtiny45/85.

Anything from simple VCO’s, LFO’s and other oscillators to complete drum sounds and complex FM voices.

2 analog/CV inputs with attenuators and 1 cv analog/digital input jack.
1 audio output jack.

It is supplied with the necessary library/core interface for writing any DSP application you want with the Arduino IDE and playing it in your eurorack synthesizer."

FXpansion Introduces Geist2 Beat Production System

Published on May 19, 2016 FXpansion

"FXpansion forges ahead with Geist2 beat production system

LONDON, UK - MAY 19: audio software developer FXpansion is proud to announce the availability of Geist2, an all-new incarnation of its award-winning Geist. Geist2 is a powerful sound-sculpting and beat production system with streamlined sample manipulation, arrangement, and modulation capabilities for intuitive and accelerated workflow. Available for Mac OS X (10.9 or higher) and Windows (7 SP1 or higher), as 64-bit only AAX, 32- and 64-bit AU and VST, and Standalone versions.

Geist2 is an advanced step-sequencer and sample-based drum machine realised in software and sympathetically styled so that creativity comes to the fore. First and foremost, it allows an elegant and ergonomic way to effortlessly build beats (although is equally well suited to work with all kinds of music material). Grooves and rhythms can be performed and programmed quicker than ever, thanks to its redesigned, resizable (Retina/4K-compatible) interface that’s as easy on the eye as it is to use.

There’s so much more to Geist2 than first meets the eye. Equally at home as a triggered sample player, loop machine, performance beatbox, production system, or all of these things at once, anyone can approach beat making in their own way with Geist2.

For slicing longer loops, the refined Slicer combined with up to 64 pads allows for fast, non-destructive chopping of beats with automatic pattern extraction — easily create custom loops, thanks to drag-and-drop MIDI and audio export functionality.

When capturing samples with Geist2’s Sampler, whether working with multiple loops or threshold-based single hits, the integrated browser and an ability to record directly to the pads provides an easy-going environment for creating custom kits to hit that perfect beat!

But what about taking things to an even higher level of interest, musical-sounding or otherwise? Geist2’s got it covered, thanks to the TransMod system. Automate almost any parameter with interacting modulators like LFOs, step-sequencers, envelopes, maths functions, and macro controls to morph and evolve sounds in new and creative ways.
Each of Geist2’s eight engines feature a 64-track Sequencer with 24 pattern memories — all with individual track lengths to create evolving polyrhythmic patterns. Event probability, micro-timing shifts for ‘off-the-grid’ organic grooves, and parameter step- automation for adding new dimensions to beats are also available.

When working in Song mode, building complex, evolving arrangements is easy and fun; record scene changes live in real time or just start playing — capturing it all afterwards and never missing an idea with retro recording functionality.

Finally, Geist2’s powerful sampling and effects engine can twist and transform sounds into something completely different. Layer samples with individual effects and use crossfaded loop point modulation alongside Zynaptiq’s ZTX — a cross-platform technology for high-quality time-stretching, pitch-shifting, and pitch-correction — to create new sounds and textures. New effects also include FXpansion’s own Bloom (creative delay and diffusion effect) and Maul (distortion and tone shaper) algorithms alongside low fidelity DAC (Digital to Audio Convertor) modelling, high-quality reverb, frequency shifting, granular freezing, classic DCAM (Discrete Component Analogue Modelling) compression, filters, drive, and much more.

With its inbuilt intelligent browser for navigating a superlative sound library from Splice Sounds — a passionate team of engineers, designers, writers, musicians, and music-lovers devoted to producing some of the best loops, samples, and sounds around — Geist2 is ready and able to take beats and grooves to the next level" https://www.fxpansion.com/products/geist2/
