New μBraids SE Eurorack voltage-controlled digital oscillator/sound source in 8HP by Tall Dog Electronics

We have a new maker and a new module to the site. Tall Dog Electronics and the µBraids SE.

"µBraids SE is a voltage-controlled digital oscillator/sound source in 8HP with a wide range of creative and useful sound generation algorithms (aka models).

This redesigned µBraids SE (Special Edition) is a new revision of µBraids that updates and simplifies the component layout and has a new panel design. It utilizes a custom miniature segmented LED module, eliminating the need for a 2nd microprocessor and its supporting circuitry. µBraids SE remains fully compatible with future upstream Braids firmware upgrades and any other alternate firmwares that are compliant with the standard Braids design.

This module is available from: Control / Analoguehaven / Perfect Circuit / Synthcube with more to come.

Included Parts
µBraids SE includes a standard 16-pin to 10-pin Eurorack power cable and two sets of mounting screws for racks/enclosures with either M2.5 or M3 threads.

History
The original Braids was designed by Olivier Gillet of Mutable Instruments under a CC BY-SA 3.0 license. Braids is a macro-oscillator with multiple intricate digital synthesis algorithms. Each algorithm is controlled by two continuously variable parameters, both of which are voltage controllable. It is available as a 16HP Eurorack module. (Source)

Hazy Morning - Improvised Eurorack Performance

Published on Jan 14, 2018 Eric Rylos

"Patch Notes:

Melody:
O_c Turing Machine, 4 steps, quantized to Dm
Ch A - Braids -- Ripples LP4 VCA -- Clouds (Parasites) -- Mixer ch 1.
Blue Lantern LFO modulating Braids Timbre slowly.
VCDLFO Sine -- MI Shades -- Ripples Freq modulation. VCDLFO CV is narrowed quite a bit by Shades, so the LFO modulation range is smaller and more subtle.

Bass:
O_c Turing Machine, 16 steps, quantized to Dm, clock div +4
O_c ch C -- Z3000 Sine -- DVCA -- Mixer ch 2.

Ableton 10 Beta providing gate and drums (generic drum loop from a sample pack), controlled by Novation Launchpad Mini off-screen.
CVPal Gate -- Branches (60%) -- O_c Trigger
CVPal Gate -- MI Peaks providing envelope to both Ripples VCA (for melody) and DVCA (for bass), ch 2."

MiniBrute & MicroBrute Jams by vegeta897

Published on Nov 7, 2017 vegeta897

"A live jam video? Is it 2008 again?

Let's see...

Electribe? Check.
IDM t-shirt? Check.
Knob twiddling? Check.
Beard and glasses...? Wait a minute, who's this old guy?

I set up some gear on my bed and decided to record a couple doodles. My improvisational abilities are rusty but I had fun.

Gear:
Arturia MiniBrute & MicroBrute
Arturia Beat Step Pro
Korg ER-1 mkII
Behringer V-Verb Pro
Recorded with a Zoom H5

Having 2 monosynths alongside the ER-1 reminds me of my first few videos. But compared to the limited possibilities of the EA-1, the number of controls on the Brutes can be a little overwhelming."
