Quanta - Granular Synth by Audio Damage : First look

Published on Jul 4, 2018 ADSR Music Production Tutorials

"Quanta is a full-featured ten-voice true stereo granular synthesizer, with up to a hundred 1000ms grains per voice, and full control over the grain state, with direct randomization and modulation of most parameters. Drag-and-drop a sample (WAV, AIFF, Ogg, or FLAC) on to the window and go to work.

Synthesize!

With two multi-mode filters (with LP, HP, BP and notch in 2-pole and 4-pole topologies), and a "sidecar" virtual-analog oscillator and noise generator that can be used in addition to, or injected into, the grain engine, Quanta is a fully capable subtractive synth in its own right, and will work as a granular or subtractive (or both) synth without any sample at all.

Modulate!

Quanta has mod coming out its ears. First up are four of our new FEGs (Flexible Envelope Generator), a 99-point looping function generator with optional host tempo sync. Then add two arbitrary-waveshape LFOs, a multi-source sample-and-hold module, and fully user-controllable MIDI assignments, with nearly every control on the panel as a destination.

Control!

Quanta is customizable to your taste and playing style. With full MPE support, it can take advantage of the extended control set of your Linnstrument, Seaboard, Soundplane, Continuum, or other MPE controller, and support for TUN files lets you use tuning tables. The resizable Hi-DPI GUI lets you adjust the size to match your visual needs, and the cross-platform preset mechanism lets you share your creations with your friends and collaborators, no matter what system they are using."

X1L3 - WRECKAGE - power electronics and harsh noise eurorack module

Published on Jul 7, 2018 X1L3

"A skim through the components of wreckage.

Originally given away with the first ten shard modules sold. The internals have been re worked to run at about ten times the speed of the initial design. Making for a somewhat more brutal and psychotic animal :)


Both flying solo and with cv modulation support from several soundmachines LP1 lightplane modules..To wrap it up it's put side by side with a shard module, being fed into the shard audio input.

6 x oscillators - 3 x fragments 3 x shards. CV over pitch of each osc with built in attenuation.
Atrophy chaos amplification.

Presented here in a few short sessions. Initially all hands on and later using cv automation and manual manipulation to make it do what it does best.

Clean through the run with no fx other than the intro section and fade out."

Kaivo Patch Test by BobSwanS

"I am making a set of patches for Madrona Labs Kaivo.

This is 2 patches i created today, they are played live at the same time with the one midi keyboard. I put a bit of reverb on both patches and sent them both into black box hg2"

Doepfer A-196 Phase Locked Loop [Episode 69]

Published on Jul 7, 2018 CatSynth TV

"An explanation and demo of the often misunderstood Doepfer A-196 Phase Locked Loop (PLL) module. We give a brief definition of a PLL, and show how this maps to the different sections of the module. We then launch into a series of demos of the A-196, first with a simple square wave input, then a more complex signal from the Sputnik Dual Oscillator, and finally the Arturia MiniBrute 2 (with the Brute Factor turned up). Throughout, we explore the different phase-comparitor options on the module, including the basic XOR and more complex proprietary circuit.

Scope provided by Mordax DATA module. In all examples, the input signal is red and the A-196 PLL signal is green.

From Doepfer's website on A-196:
"this is how a pll works: the output of the internal vco (linear cv control, rectangle output) is compared with an external signal (e.g. the rectangle output of a a-110 vco) in the so-called phase comparator (pc). the output of the phase comparator is a digital signal (low/high/tristate) that indicates if the frequency resp. phase difference of the two input signals is negative, zero or positive. the output of the phase comparator is processed by a low pass filter (lpf) to generate a smooth voltage that is used to control the frequency of the internal vco. the 3 units vco, pc and lpf form a feedback loop that works like this: the control voltage (output of the lpf) increases as long as the external frequency is higher than the frequency of the internal vco und stops increasing when both frequencies become identical. the control voltage decreases as long as the external frequency is lower than the frequency of the internal vco und stops decreasing when both frequencies become identical"
