Zaquencer/Beatstep Pro Jam (June 6 2016)

Published on Jun 6, 2016 stereofect

"This time I use Zaquencer to not only sequence my synths but also sync up the Beatstep Pro to Zaquencer. Zaquencer is on X5Dr, Mopho and anode duty while the Beastep Pro handles drums and the AN200. I, of course, play lead on the Bass Station II. An Oxygen8 is used to transpose both Zaquencer and the Beatstep Pro.

Gear used:

Mopho Desktop
Korg X5DR
Meeblip anode
Yamaha AN200
Novation Bass Station II
Boss DR-550 MKII
BCR2000 running Zaquencer
Arturia Beatstep Pro

Hope you like it!

Cheers!!"

Memory expansion to 128 patches (Yamaha calls them "voices") in 4 banks of 32 patches.
All patches directly accessible using standard MIDI Program Change (both in and out).
Velocity offset setting for fixing the DX7 max velocity issue.
Selectable MIDI IN and OUT channels (they can be different).
Local On/Off lets you control if the local keyboard controls the built-in FM sound engine or not.
Keyboard Split with adjustable split point.
Compatible with standard RAM and ROM cartridges
SOLDERING IS REQUIRED. Three wires -- get a tech to do it.

Mutable Instruments Introduces New Blinds Eurorack Module

via Mutable Instruments

"Blinds is a 4-channel voltage-controlled signal polarizer. Each channel consists of a polarizer circuit, also known as a four-quadrant multiplier. This circuit acts like a VCA, except that a negative control voltage will cause the output signal to be inverted, instead of being silenced. Blinds’ outputs are daisy-chained, allowing adjacent groups of 2, 3, or all 4 channels, to be mixed together.

One can think of Blinds’ as a voltage-controlled version of Shades, the control center for all the modulation CVs used in a patch. Many other uses are possible, though. For example, each individual channel can be used to scale/offset a CV; and with audio rate modulation signals, each channel acts like a ring-modulator, with massive potential for drones and feedback patches.

Technical characteristics

All inputs DC-coupled.
All inputs handle audio-rate signals.
Input impedance: 100k for all inputs.
CV offset range: +/- 5V.
Gain scale: linear, a +5V CV translates to a gain of 1.
Gain range: +/- 2.
12-HP.
Current consumption: +12V: 70mA ; -12V: 70mA.
Open-source hardware."
