"10 instruments, each with a single output. (10 mono single outs + 2 master outs L+R)
Midi IN - you can sequence this machine by computer, Octatrack e.t.c.
100% analog and 100% discrete structure. Sound really amazing!
Super-quality metal desktop case (aluminium). Build like a tank.
"Patch Notes #18 goes Techno, using user created modules in Reaktor Blocks to sequence and randomize drum triggers and notes through the Traktor Audio 10 to a Eurorack system.
Reaktor is running a couple of downloaded modules from the Reaktor User Library, including the Maschine Sequencer Block (an altered version of it, built to operate with the Traktor F1 controller) and the Turing Machine 1.0. These are both clocked by an internal clock module. The first 4 channels on the Maschine Sequencer are routed to a Gates & Trigs module, where the gates are converted to triggers, and then out to physical outputs 3-6 on the Audio 10.
The F1 acts as an 8 channel 16 step sequencer (only using 4 channels) with Euclidean Rhythm generating functions assigned to 3 of the knobs on one control page. The 4th knob is assigned to control the swing amount of the clock module. On the second page, the knobs are assigned to control the Turing Machine functions, so randomized sequences can be looped and lengthened.
The first channel is routed to the Scooper kick drum, the 4th to the Scooper hihat (as seen in our Roland Aira Modular Drum Machine video). The 3rd channel is routed to the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas for snare-ish business, and the 4th is clock the DU-SEQ sequencer, which is sending CV and Gate to the Make Noise 0-Coast.
The Turing Machine in Blocks is routed directly out into the pitch input of the MIDI Out module. The randomized sequence is converted to MIDI notes, and sent through Mutable Instruments Yarns and then out via CV and Gate to the Make Noise DPO, and the Intellijel Dual ADSR. The DPO Final output is routed to the Optomix, which is being opened and closed by the Dual ADSR.
The Ornament & Crime is in Quadraturia mode, generating 3 LFOs. Two of these are routed to the morph and fold functions on the BI, another routed to the Shape function on the DPO. The Korg SQ-1 is in random mode, altering the hihat decay length.
The DU-SEQ is playing a complex pattern with 2 steps assigned to external gate 1, rather than the clocked signal from Blocks. The clock out is routed to the Malekko Varigate 4. Channel 1 on the Varigate is routed to the external gate 1 on the DU-SEQ, with an 8 step sequence (acting like a clock) and randomized repeats for interesting gating on that channel. Another channel is clocking the 0-Coast tempo in, with a third Varigate channel triggering the slope section (which is modulating the multiply amount). The stepped random section is routed to the voltage math section, then split and on to contour decay and overtone amount.
"Voxarray 61 is a modular music environment, and a tribute to iconic synthesizers from the 70’s. It’s main body, crafted from ash, is divided into two segments. This clamshell construction rests on a weighty 4-legged stand handmade from steel. A ball handle applied to fold/open the lid doubles as pitch and modulation when detached and inserted next to the semi-weighted MIDI keyboard. The top lid stores an array of analog and digital audio modules, and like most module synthesizers, they all connect using a variety of patch cords, creating a matrix patching system. To use external devices, just patch them through the matrix. Add the custom-made dynamic microphone on top to complete the setup."
"Here is a video describing the design of the Dintree D102 Output Mixer. You can download schematics and learn more at: www.dintree.com
Note in the section describing the meter circuit I state that the output of the rectifier is positive... it's actually negative and gets inverted by the integrator, but the overall effect is the same."
"The Human Sized Synthesizer was developed by Daito Manabe and Rhizomatiks in collaboration with Red Bull Music Academy and KORG. It is a social experiment, embodying the Academy ethos of encouraging creative collaboration. The below schematics help to explain how it was constructed. The Synthesizer is a large format workstation that allows for interaction: There is a step sequencer drum machine with four sound sets, and a keyboard with an arpeggiator and other functions, as well as an X-Y effects unit. The large format synthesizer controls are based on KORG’s MS10/20 classic synthesizers, with MPC-style touch-sensitive trigger pads."
"In this video, we loaded the "additive synthesis" patch (1 output, 2 LFOs). Both LFOs are sent to the output module and the parameters are changed using REMOTE. Learn more at www.percussa.com"
