Generative Music part VII

Published on Apr 4, 2017 Gibran Curtiss

"This time the fully functional prototype of the generative music module patched to the 4MS SMR passing thru a custom Spring Reverb.

One square wave oscillator with a fixed frequency feeding the 4MS input.

The final configuration of the module is :
-4 (0V to +5V) CV outs with buffered MCP4725 DACs.
-1 Trigger out with led indicator;
-parameter / value knobs to control the internal variables;

Again, some code improvements to do a better control over the note distribution to CVs.
The evolution of the generative module was locked this time just to play around with 4MS, basically, the same melody all the time but exploring the internal variations of the CVs.
Remember that the whole sound was played ONLY by the 4MS. No drum machines, no other modules.

The video was sent again because of a little mistake in the main title. :-)

Evolving Chords Eurorack Synthesizer Performance Demo

Published on Apr 4, 2017 gstormelectro

"Audio and Video by G-Storm Electro c.2017

Making use of evolving chord changes with my new DRE4MTR4CK Euro module available on Reverb. It has 4 independent tracks of polyphonic pitch control:
Track 1: Pittsburgh Synth Box, internal filter
Track 2: DNA Symbiotic Waves, JP-6 Filter clone
Track 3: Disting MK3, Doepfer SEM filter
Track 4: Rings, no filter.

Clocking direct to envelopes, triggering pitch changes manually. Track 1 pitch CV is going through a PM Toolbox slew limiter. Mix is going to Timefactor delay. Recorded direct through a Mackie 802 to a Tascam DR-05."

crOwBX demo - DIY Oberheim OB-X clone (4 voice polyphonic)

Published on Apr 4, 2017 der oberling

"I recently finished my crOwBX synthesizer to the point that it's finally playable.

My previous demo only featured an uncalibrated single voice ([posted here]). This demo utilizes the whole 4 voice calibrated analog power of the beast.

Since I'm no keyboard player I prerecorded some notes and chords in ableton, corrected them, quantized them where needed an played them back looped - sorry for that :-)

The signal is completely dry - the crOwBX all by itself through my Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 into Ableton. Only the last bit got a little MIDI-Clock synced LFO from my MIDI-CV unit ;-) .

A unison demo is yet to come... It's a little challenging to keep the 15 minutes limit.

This project was "in the making" now since 2013. That's mainly due it's over 3000 parts to solder, debugging, initial calibration (which is really excessive) and finally I wanted to develop my own MIDI-CV unit for this which I did. All in all it's very rewarding to have it all up and running finally and it sounds gorgeous to my ear - but listen for yourselfs :-)"
