MFB Introduces New NANOWERG PRO Eurorack Module




* Eurorack version of the successful NANOZWERG Synth
* analogue VCO with four waveforms
* Suboscillator with three intervalls
* analogue 12 dB Multimodefilter
* LFO with „One Shot“-function
* CV Inputs, Midi CC controllable
* MIDI- and CV/Gate-Interface
* new M-Bus connection for faster workflow
* MSRP: 250,- Euro

The NANOZWERG PRO Module is complete monophonic analogue synthesizer unit within a very compact size.

With its VCO, Suboscillator and 12 dB Multimodefilter the synth voice is able to create various sounds from bass- and sequence- to electro-, effect- and drone styles. Furthermore you can add white NOISE and external signals to create more complex sounds or just for use as filterbox.

An overview about the features of the NANOZWERG Pro Module:
The VCO creates the waveforms Triangle, Sawtooth, Square and Pulse. The foot scale (octave range) goes from 32' to 4' and the fine tuning around +/-6 semitones. For fatten the sound a Suboscillator can be switched to three different intervalls or White Noise alternatively. A Mixer knob blends VCO waves into Sub/White Noise. A Glide effect is provided too.

The 12-dB-State-Variable-Multimodefilter owns LOWPASS, BANDPASS, HIGHPASS and NOTCH and its CUTOFF can be controlled manually, by LFO or ADSR. The RESONANCE allows selfoscillation and KEYFOLLOW spreads the filter frequency depending on the note.

The LFO offers four waveforms including SAMPLE&HOLD and ONE SHOT who works as a envelope - after a gate impulse one cycle of the selected waveform is generated. An innovation is - the first three waveforms can be morphed to each other. Beside Filter CUTOFF, PITCH and PULSEWIDTH of the VCO can be adressed by the LFO.
The first ADSR envelope controls the CUTOFF with negative or positive slope, the second ADSR controls the VCAs volume.

Almost every parameter can be controlled via CV, the envelopes and LFO have CV outputs. An external in feed the VCF alternative with other soundsources. MIDI IN allows to control the module with your DAW or other MIDI gear.
The NANOZWERG PRO recieves NOTE ON, PITCH WHEEL (+/- 1 halftone) and MIDI CC. Alternative the faster M-BUS connection offers the same features.

The Module has a width of 24 HP = 121 mm."

"I am happy with my new korg minilogue
This evening I did record some jamming with KORG ELECTRIBE ESX, MINILOGUE and MONOLOGUE,
Strings sound is IPad waldorf.nave (midi out from minilogue)
All recorded at once, no mixing, no other effects used

Kammerl Beat-Repeat Effect for Mutable Instrument's Clouds



via http://www.kammerl.de/audio/clouds/

"This is an alternative firmware for Mutable Instruments Clouds which enables real-time slicing / beat-repeat features ported from the Kammerl Kaske VST plugin suite.

Note: The original four modes of the official firmware are still present and have not been modified. This firmware simply adds a fifth mode to your Clouds module with new real-time beat and sound manipulation features.


Kammerl Beat-Repeat mode

Note: This mode requires a clock signal plugged into the Trigger input. Without a clock signal, it holds the most recent slice (or outputs silence if no clock signal has been previously provided).

The Kammerl Beat-Repeat mode analyzes the incoming clock signal to enable real-time slicing of the audio input. Each slice can be played back with different loop, pitch and distortion settings.

DreamBlaster S2 World Premiere - Smallest and cheapest Wavetable Module


Published on Mar 28, 2017 PhilsComputerLab

"In this video we are taking a look at the new DreamBlaster S2 General MIDI wavetable module. I talk about the differences between S1 and S2, we look at the size, pricing and availability and then there is over 1 hour of MIDI recordings for you to hear how it sounds like."

I believe this is more ROMpler/PCM synthesis vs. the PPG and Waldorf of wavetable synthesis. Curious how programmable these are. The following are a couple of pics and some general info via Serdashop:


"Waveblaster compatible synth module based on the SAM2695 chip. Combines wavetable and fm synth sound for a high end retro sound. Excellent for gaming, music production, sound experiments.

64-voice polyphony (without effects)
38-voice polyphony + effects
High quality, compact size
CleanWave soundset
General MIDI compatible effects
4-band stereo equalizer
Low power consumption, only 5V supply required (no +/- 12V)
Low noise audio output
Can be used on Waveblaster Compatible soundcards
Can be used for electronics projects, such as arduino, raspberry pi, midibox,...
Very small size, ideal for building into projects : 24mm x 34mm
SAM2695 MIDI specifications and chip datasheet : click here.
This board is intended for testing, education, development, and usage in custom projects and prototypes.

Compatible with any soundcard that has a Waveblaster connector, SoundBlaster 16, Audician 32, ESS AudioDrive, Aureal Vortex 2 and many others.

Can be used in Oberheim MC2000

Also suitable for use in electronics projects and retro gaming pc's."

"Warehouse 605" - Hannett / JD / Dark style studio tracking & mixing


Published on Mar 27, 2017 SynthMania

"Tracking & Mixing a 'dark' song in the style of Martin Hannett / Joy Division / Bauhaus / Sisters of Mercy etc. of the late '70s / early '80s."

Powertran Transcendent 2000 comes in at 2:55. This one isn't too synth heavy, but it is fun to watch and the Transcendent 2000 was one of Martin Hannett' main synths.
