2HP Pluck - a timeless beauty of a module

Published on Apr 7, 2018 Molten Music Technology

"I think my search for the perfect sound for my rack has ended. Wow! This is a stunning little module. This is my first play with the 2HP Pluck, a little physical modelling module. I put the Turing machine into the V/Oct input via the uScale Quantizer and fed some gates in from the Verona randomRHYTHM. I added some delay and reverb, and modulated the Decay knob a little bit. I guess this is why people like Rings so much :)"

Mutable Instruments Braids As Drum Machine

Published on Apr 7, 2018 chisel316

"In this fun little video I'm using the Tall Dog uBraids SE (based on Mutable Instruments Braids Eurorack module) as a drum machine. This is accomplished by using META mode, which allows precise selection of the synth engines through CV. In this case, I'm using the Snazzy FX Ardcore (purple module on the bottom left) as a four step sequencer that is sending CV to the FM input on the uBraids to select KICK-CYMB-SNAR-TOY* to create the drum pattern. I'm using the Sequins app on the o_C (Ornament & Crime) into the 1V/Oct input of the uBraids to create the note sequence. These modules are triggered from Pamela's New Workout. The effects are added in real-time by turning knobs on the Novation Launch Control XL (out of the picture) that is mapped to DDMf Envelope for Reverb and Audio Damage Dubstation 2 for stereo delay. The panning is also done in real-time using Kymatica AUM (iOS mixer app) which also hosts the effects. Hope you enjoy it! Peace \/.

Note: I could've simplified this patch by using the o_C for both sequences instead of using the Ardcore, but I'm new to the o_C and forgot that the Sequins app has two independent sequencers."

Let's Create: Minimal Techno with the Teenage Engineering OP-1 (short Track)

Published on Apr 7, 2018 umonox

"Hello my Friends! My vacation is over now, but i still wanna share this one with you: Another Let's Create with the almighty OP-1 from Teenage Engineering! :-) And its Minimal Techno again. At least i think it's Minimal Techno. But im not sure, since the definition of Genres constantly changes from decade to decade :-D At least it is what i associate with that Music Genre.

I hope you like this one. It took much longer to create than you actually see. I had something different in the making for almost the whole week - until i noticed it doesnt work and i had to scratch everything. So i ended up with this one :-)

Leave me a like if you enjoyed this Video, hit Subscribe if you havent so already - and i wish you a great time my friends! I see you very soon.

All the best,

New Lap Synths

I posted the following on Twitter and thought I'd capture them here as well.

"Huge thx to @Perfect_Circuit for scoring me a brand new @accessmusic Virus TI2! Fired it up for the first time last night. Blown away. Incredibly diverse. That's it on my lap with an @ArturiaOfficial KeyStep. :) Also with my new @dsiSequential OB-6! Two amazing synths!"

They both are truly amazing.  The OB-6 replaces my OB-Xa and in my opinion, it is just as warm and full sounding, more-so actually.  It's easy to get engulfed in the raw sound of it, and it can actually take a little work, or rather will power, to mellow it out like the OB-Xa.  The OB-Xa, an amazing synth in its own right, of course, is actually a very simple synth in architecture.  The OB-6 appears just as simple on the surface, but I'm finding it capable of so much more.  That said, it does lack the silkier 4-pole filter of the OB-Xa.  The 2-pole SEM based filter sizzles, but it can be tamed.

The Virus TI2, on the digital side of things, is an absolutely astounding sounding synth.  I was expecting it to have that typical sheen that colors many other VAs, but it doesn't - it sounds incredibly  direct and present. It has that certain clarity you typically only find in higher end synths.  I've always wanted one new but I kept holding out for the latest model. They are getting harder to find, so I figured it was now or never. I checked the shop sites on the right, here on MATRIXSYNTH, and saw that Perfect Circuit Audio was the only ones that had them listed as available for order. I reached out to them and they ordered one directly from Access for me. It took a couple of months as they are on back order, but mine finally arrived! P.S. Huge thanks to Meryam and Brad at Perfect Circuit - they were great to deal with!

As you can see below, I also picked up a few other lap synths as well.  Why lap synths?  I've been finding I'm having less and less time to make it into the studio, so I'm spending more time with smaller synths on my lap.  :)

54HP Episode 3: Incessant Noodler

Published on Apr 6, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"In episode 3 of 54HP we put together a generative ambient system called the “Incessant Noodler” which will just keep playing droney ambient music for as long as you let it. It has a few random voltage generators to create sequences and modulation, then a powerful quantizer with built in shift register will convert those random voltages into a scale. For generating sounds the Noodler has an analog and a digital VCO and envelope with built in VCA. To make everything sound more ambient there are two effects units with multiple types of delays and reverbs to create a wash of sounds from your generative sequence.

Let us know in the comments what type 54hp of case you want to see next.

Make Noise Wogglebug
2HP Turing Machine
