New Mutable Music Things – Ears Eurorack Module

Wait a sec. Mutable as in Mutable Instruments, Music Things as in Music Thing? That is correct.

via Thonk

"Ears is Mutable’s take on the Music Thing Modular Mikrophonie module, Ears is a perfect match for physical synthesis modules like Rings or Elements, but it can also be the gateway between external audio sources and your modular system.

We don’t normally stock non DIY products at Thonk, but when Olivier offered us a worldwide exclusive on the first batch of his new Ears module… how could we refuse?!

This module brings together two of the most (if not the most..) prolific and creative designers in the open source Eurorack scene, Mutable Instruments and Music Thing Modular.

Ears is Mutable’s take on Tom Whitwell’s Mikrophonie module, Ears is a perfect match for physical synthesis modules like Rings or Elements, but it can also be the gateway between external audio sources and your modular system.

And a couple of user videos:

"First play today with Ears, Mutable Instruments take on Tom Whitwell’s Mikrophonie module. Literally only the first patch set up wto test it out today. Qu-Bit Electronix provides a constant drone, taking a loop of my voice humming away, as Elements is played by Ears, with the various changes affected by my touch. Arturia BeatStep Pro offers up the melodic content. Simple but fun. This looks likely to live in my performance case for some time now!"

One part of the signal is then being processed by Pittsburgh Modulaar ANALOG REPLICATOR and the other by Make Noise ECHOPHON.

"Mitch Gallagher visits Six01 Studios for Roland's 909 Day, and is joined by product specialist Peter Brown to demonstrate the TB-03 Bass Line Synthesizer. Powered by Roland's cutting-edge Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology, the TB-03 serves up the flowing, spellbinding grooves of the infamous silver box, and takes things further with enhancements not found on the original.

"The unit appears to be working reasonably well, I noticed 3F and 3D# keys seem to be not responding, as well as PERCUSSIVE and ENSEMBLE buttons having bad response/contacts even though the function itself is fine. There are also slight bad contacts on some of the switches and scratch noise on the knobs, which could do with some servicing/adjustment.

Otherwise all the preset sounds working fine as well as all other switches and knobs working well to the best of my knowledge."

"Sequential Circuits Vintage Sequencer: This unit is a rare vintage find. I used it back in the day with an analog Oberheim expander module, or my Prophet 5. The unit has been in storage for a long time, and I no longer own any Analog synthesisers so I have no way of checking all the functionality of the unit. Unit does power up though, and pedal is controlling record on/off feature so I'm assuming it still works. Comes with Sequential Circuits original foot pedal as shown in pics. AC for both units is attached."
