22 01 18 Serge Modular System: juste pour le fun :)

Published on Jan 22, 2018 batchas

"I installed some old modules in a small rack and ended up jamming.
As usual, nothing serious, just fun.

Looks afterwards a bit hectic, because the cam is focused on the hand, which takes most of the screen. Though it shows well the exageration, as I played very loud and I did not care about all the different layers of sounds coming out from the different mixers on the Serge system. I enjoyed this short session and thought I should record a bit on video, cause it's the kind of sound I never play and I also liked its raw aspect.

The pot I'm turning is sending a quantized voltage to an oscillator. Let say it replaces a guitar solo on steroids."

"In this video I sequence with ChordFlow my Moog Minitaur (analog bass synth), which I love, and apply effects with FieldScaper. Amazing iPad Pro apps. Sorry for some clipping that shows at some points where the GoPro audio adapter couldn’t hold the volume. Hope you enjoy!

Snyderphonics MantaMate Eurorack synthesizer module with Roli Seaboard controller

Published on Jan 22, 2018 Jeff Snyder

"With Firmware update 1.3, the MantaMate now supports MPE (Multidimensional Polyphonic Expression) Midi devices. Here's a little demo using the Roli Seaboard to control a Eurorack modular synthesizer through the MantaMate. In this example, the MantaMate is in 2-voice polyphony mode (preset 02) with MPE turned on. Each voice sends pitch, gate, velocity, trigger, pressure, and Y position."

"microGranny 2 is a monophonic granular sampler.8-bit 22050Hz wav recording .This video shows how this sampler affects sound granularity. Great effects when you turn on the granulation on the loop mode, here the loop mode is used, it makes various sequences of the sequence and adds more crash sound."

BLL SHORT - Controller Box for Novation Circuit on Kickstarter

Published on Jan 11, 2018 bll instruments

via Kickstarter

100 Euro gets you one.

"SHORT is a MIDI controller compatible with Circuit Novation.

We're keen on our Groove Box, a tremendous tool which enables us to create great pieces of music. But you need to plug it to a computer to set up complex patches, and we thought it was not convenient on jam or live sessions, when you want to tune patches on the fly.

So we created a very simple MIDI controller: SHORT.

SHORT is a tiny, intuitive, battery powered tool. Just plug it to the groovebox and control every single synth's parameter.

Navigate through the parameters using Short's buttons and screen and use the 8 macro controls of the groove box to change their value. You have full, easy and immediate access to your synth engine.

Edit analogue resonance, Eq, change on the fly OSC2 waveform, …

Unleash the power of your groovebox with SHORT!

How is SHORT working?

It is necessary to use a SHORT ready patch, recorded in the memory of the Circuit as any patch.

The peculiarity of this ready patch is that macro controls have no destination. When you turn them, it has no impact on the synth engine.

On the other hand, they always send CC messages corresponding to their position.

SHORT retrieves these CC messages and translates them according to the page enabled on SHORT and sends it back to the Circuit.

You can access the synth engine parameters by navigating on SHORT's pages, and modify sound using macro controls.

For example, when you are on the filter page, macro 1 control the filter, whereas when you are on the Osc 1 page, macro 1 control the osc1 waveform.

You can edit all the parameters of the synth engine, including 10 matrix, reverb and delay, analog filter and more.

When you find an interesting sound, just record it on Circuit and your sound is memorized.

If you want to use a sound created with SHORT in another session, there are two ways to do that: you can copy the session and erase only the patterns, or you can save the patch with the editor on computer.

SHORT picks up macro controls signal only when you are on the synth 1 or synth 2 pages on Circuit. You can use Circuit normally, on other use of macros, like for drum, mixer or effects.

What about automations on macros controls ?

Because one of the advantages of the circuit is to record automations on the macros, we have planned a favs page.

In this page you find 8 parameters that you have chosen and you can record automations as you would with a classic patch.

Inconvenient compared to the classic use of the macros control, you manage only one parameter per macro instead of 4 usually, but you have access to all parameters including the oscillators waveform, the type of distortion, the lfo waveform, the reverb decay etc.

SHORT 's pages:

For each page you get acces up to 8 parameters with the 8 macro controls"
