Modular Madness (Roland SYSTEM 500, Aira BITRAZER, DEMORA, TORCIDO)

Published on Jul 29, 2016 Ziad Sarrouh

"My first session on my new (and first) modular system based on the Roland System 500 and the Aira modular effects.
Just showcasing the monster sound you can get out of this amazing combo.
It's a sound designer's dream!

The modular is triggered by a simple sequence programmed on the microbrute.

Sound recorded from the mixer into an HD recorder with no additional processing

"2 bong0s, 2 doofs & 1 badum tisss. All analogue circuits. No other sound sources used."

Update: details on BadumTiss via Nonlinear Circuits

"BadumTisss is a snare/hi-hat module.

The core sound of the circuit comes from the ring mod. Usually it will process the noise source and the VCO, but feel free to plug in the output from another VCO and get some nice sounds. You can use CV to modulate the VCO frequency (NOT 1/oct) and control the decay time."

Meet The Makers - Dreadbox-FX Yannis

Published on Jul 29, 2016 sonicstate

"Greek based synthesizer manufacturer Dreadbox-FX started out making effects pedals, then introduced a couple of synthesizers, their most succesful being the Dreadbox Erebus (one of our favourites). Now they are making Eurorack modules with a variety of modules now available. www.dreadbox-fx.com"

- Unlimited file length
- Ships with microSD card loaded with Wave one shot sample library"

Patch Notes #9 - Quadrature LFOs with Ornament & Crime

Published on Jul 29, 2016 Voltage Control Lab

More here.

"Here's our latest Patch Notes video using the Quadraturia mode in Ornament & Crime as a set of complex modulation sources in the Eurorack system.

Ornament & Crime is sending output A to the Trigger input on Mutable Instruments Braids, clocking the internal envelope in the Bees in the Trees alt firmware. Output C is routed to the Timbre input, while D is sent to the Color in.

The wave shape is set to something like a sawtooth (around +64), with the spread set to around -40. The LFOs are frequency shifted to -128, creating a natural rhythmic relationship between the waves. Phase modulation is also enabled.

Make Noise Tempi is resetting the O&C LFOs at the Tr1 input, while 2 LFOs from the Triangle and Mayhem outputs of the Malekko Anti-Oscillator are modulating the LFO frequency at CV1 and shape spread into CV3. One channel from Pressure Points is routed to control wave shape as well on CV2.

Braids is in Meta mode, modulated at the FM input via the stepped random out from the Wogglebug. The randomization is being influenced by the CV output from René which also has the QCV routed to control the pitch on Braids.

Tempi is clocking everything, including Brains (and Pressure Points), René and Wogglebug, as well as the Malekko Varigate 4 and the Korg SQ-1.

The SQ-1 is sequencing the pitch and envelope on the Make Noise 0-Coast, which is generating the lead. The Slope section output is routed to the FM input on the Oscillator.

The Hihat is coming from the trusty Roland Scooper noise generator patch, triggered by a cycling Channel 4 on Maths. The off tempo cycle is modulated via the Both input using 4 rows on Pressure Points routed through the Doepfer A-151-2 Sequential Switch, creating a 16 step pattern modulating the rate of the cycling clock. This gives the hihat the offkilter feel.

The Kick is coming from the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas. A pattern from the Varigate is routed to the input on the Malekko Envelator. The two positive output envelopes are routed to trigger the module as well as modulate the pitch to give more punch to the attack.

All routed to the Malekko Mix 4 and out through the Mutable Instruments Warps running the Parasites alt firmware to add some delays.
