Reon Driftboxes SE, J, and W

REON drift boxパフォーマンス Published on Mar 9, 2016

Note the video above is from March in 2016, so these are not technically new. Reon gear tends to be promoted via Japanese channels. As you can see their website is primarily in Japanese only. They also do a bit of one off and customized gear. Check out the pink one!

Previously featured Reon driftboxes included the driftbox S, S ver II, R, Q, V, E, C, T, and G announced here, back in 2013. There were also modular versions and a Roland branded DriftBox R model announced in 2015. You can find demos and pics via the Reon label here.

BTW, the different spellings and capitalizations I'm using for Driftbox is on purpose. Roland branded it DriftBox with a capital D and B, and Reon interchanges between driftbox, all lowercase, and Driftbox with the capital D. I have also seen it as Drift Box.

That said, not featured here on MATRIXSYNTH before now, are the driftbox SE, J, and W. The following are some details Google translated from Reon.

Tiptop Audio Fold Processor Eurorack Wavefolder & Divider

Published on Sep 26, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"This video shows some of the sounds that can be created by folding and dividing simple sine waves with the TipTop Audio Fold Processor eurorack module.

The Fold Processor from Tiptop Audio is a wavefolder, or wave multiplier complete with voltage control. Along with this is a sub-octave generator capable of providing /1, /2, /4, /8 subdivisions, all of which are mixed out of the Subdiv Output. The wave folder section can take clean sine and triangle waves and morph them into beefy and rich waveshapes unlike any other. The output of the sub-octave generator provides all squarewaves. For getting timbres that no sawtooth can create, the Fold Processor is there.
