AniModule : Morse Key to Gate_Out / Momentary Switch for the Modular Synthesizer

Published on May 3, 2018 JRock17991

"Check Out Our Modules at : http://www.animodule.com/

Took a Morse Key and wired it for Input / Thruput.

Also normalled a 9V Battery (via separate 1K resistors) to the 2 Inputs.

Schematics are on the video. Very simple.

Made the housing out of a piece of Maple Firewood, and made the panel out of a piece of brass I reclaimed from a FirePlace Spark Guard curtain"

Prophet VS: exploring vector sounds

Published on May 3, 2018 Miguel d'Oliveira

"Trying to find my way with this old legend
At first, I wanted it to sound like something else. Which didn't take me anywhere.
Now I'm trying to see what can I learn from using it.
No idea if this one has the factory presets or just sounds it inherited from previous owners.
Loving the way it sounds with a Timeline. (anything sounds instantly better through a Strymon)"

via this auction

"Early 1980s Roland computer music module including sounds from classic Roland synths (TB303) and drum machines (TR606). It was designed for use with an Apple II or IBM PC but can now interface with MIDI using an add-on from beatnic.jp (not supplied). With this add-on you could use the 8 CV/Gate outputs as an interface to classic pre-MIDI analogue synths and drum machines. Or just admire the classic 1980s styling and sounds."

Buchla Music Easel - giants of downtown

Published on May 3, 2018 Jae Ryan

"I've had the Easel for a bit now and was really adamant at first about doing the whole "easel only" cassette release (which I'm still considering) but initially I was just to trigger happy starting patches from scratch and seeing where it could go.

Now that I've come to grips with it a little and have a little more patience its easier to piece together a "song" instead of little jams.

This patch has been sitting for 3 days now running non stop and everytime I found a free minute I'd come jam it. Eventually I felt I had enough ideas to put together and try and make a video!

The music easel seems to really shine when you take something "traditional" and blend it with just a little Buchla, which is how the tempo of this track works. The sequencer is controlling the gates/envelopes and speed up just the tiniest bit when the high notes are triggered. It's subtle but its something that really makes performing on something like this unique.

As far as the whole patch goes, feel free to comment and I can chat all day!"

New Five12 Vector Sequencer Eurorack Module at SUPERBOOTH18

You can find previous posts featuring Five12's new Vector Sequencer here.

via STROMKULT

"James Coker, owner of the company Five12, announced that his Vector sequencer will go into production soon. The module is a digital composition tool with eight tracks. Each of them features two sub-sequencers for internal modulation. An extensive set of chance-based functions, including options like random ratcheting, pitch and playback alterations plus mute options, allow you to create variations of sequences on the fly. Two new features, which James announced at Superbooth 2018, are a chord mode and a record thru function. Patterns can be organized in playlists to create songs and live sets. Thanks to two OLED displays plus a total of nine encoders, a piano-style button matrix and other control elements, operating the Vector is easy as pie. – Despite its high level of sophistication.

The Vector itself offers analog outputs for two tracks. In detail, it emits pitch, gate and velocity signals. Additionally, there are two 3.5 mm MIDI connectors and both USB A and B ports. Three bi-directional trigger sockets can be used for sync, clock and trigger functions. On top of that, there are two CV inputs, which allow you to feed external modulation signals to the sequencer. Incoming control voltages can influence various parameters. If this configuration is not enough to fully control your setup, it is time for the Five12 Jack Expander. This module adds four more analog output sets, each consisting of pitch, gate and velocity connectors. Furthermore, the Jack Expander features eight more bi-directional trigger sockets, a MIDI DIN input and output plus DIN Sync ports. You can freely assign all these connectors to the sequencer tracks.

A micro-SD card slot is installed on the back of the unit. There are auto-saving and load functions, so you’ll always have the last session at hand when you switch on your modular system. The USB A port can be used to transfer data to your computer, meaning to create a backup.

Vector and Jack Expander will be available for pre-order at SchneidersLaden soon. James said the prices will be 699 USD (Vector) and 359 USD (Jack Expander). Prices in Euro have yet to be determined. The Vector will be available in August. Its Jack Expander will follow about a month later."
