"I started doing these because the first leaflet style manuals which arrived with my Roland Boutique synths were too small to read, and so abbreviated that I was left feeling a little underwhelmed. I wanted more. So I learned more, and tried a bunch of things and eventually took my notebooks and turned them into the missing manuals for these lovely little things."
"Endorphin.es Blck_Noir module is a full set of drum voices including a kick, snare, tambourine, hats, cymbal and metallic sound. The circuits are mostly analog with an interesting digital noise generator. There is a built in filter with resonance as well as a mixer with a send that goes to a DSP effects processor with some great sounding reverbs and delays. Each drum sound can also be used individually and there is an aux input so you could use and external effect on a drum like we did with the Strymon Magneto in this video.
"It was my birthday last weekend, whilst celebrating in a field in the rain with around 5,000 other like minded 40 year olds trying to recapture their youth thoughts on my birthday as ever turned back to presents. And so today we have one for you!
That present comes courtesy and with thanks to Yves and Erin who have produced some of most critcially aclaimed packs for the Novation Circuit in Delorean Dream, Chiptune Dreams and Street Dreams each with their own strong theme.
The Free Big City Dream Pack gives a taster of all of their previous releases, simply download the pack and upload the indfividual .syx files to your Circuit and get jamming!
"LIGHTFINGER - THE TRIPLE PACK
RELEASE: OUT NOW
PRICE: was £33.99 now £ £25.00
LINK - CLICK HERE
Continuing a tradition (well it started last month with the Jim Drones Triple Pack) we proud to bring together the first three packs from the architect of Novation Circuit Science, Lightfinger!
Consisting of the previously released of Volume One, Future Frontiers and Evolution but gathered together at one bartgain price the Triple Pack from Lightfinger is not one to be missed!
ps. you may have noticed a lack of updates on the website?
Over the last year our customer base has grown exponentially beyond our wildest dreams. The website which was fit for purpose with expansion built in is now creaking at the seams. Throwing loads of money at a new server only managed to stem the tide for so long so currently our entire energy is going to rebuilding it from scratch to be slicker, faster and provide a load of extra information on each of our products."

"** TIMING INDEX / SECTIONS BELOW ** Here's the new analogue (or analog if not British) thru zero FM oscillator the 'EN129' from Dannysound. The module offers great, analogue, through zero frequency modulation with is musical and responsive offering for dynamic modulation without the wide ranging pitch drift in exp/log response analogue FM circuits. There is an additional LOG FM input and attenuator so you can exploit two flavours of FM and their responses. There's coarse and fine tune, LFO button to drop the range, sine, triangle, pulse, square and saw outputs. The pulse has PWM control and inputs and the saw has some rather unique onboard shaping too.
02:36 The sound, the thru zero FM (an exploration of...) and the other waveforms and controls. There's a comparison of thru zero and log/exp FM, PWM, static and dynamic (modulated by an external VCA) frequency modulation and more.
06:52 The square and pulse waves ... the square sounds great (a little filter/delay sequenced patch). I then explore standard LFO modulation of PWM but also audio rate pulse modulation for a wide range of static and dynamic PWM overtones that gives us all sorts of phase distortion synth type tones imparting new and unique overtones compared to the standard analogue waves you'll be used to.
10:05 FM Interjection 1 ... a little thru zero sine on sine / sine on triangle FM interjection with no talking. A lovely little ear break :)
10:32 The saw wave output ... looking at wave shaping the saw with octave up like FX, tremolo style amplitude changes, adding voltages to add a square edge and set of harmonics to the saw and audio rate overtones for even further unique and new tones from otherwise simple waves.
14:08 A stereo generative patch making use of the pulse output and saw outputs with some FX and a pair of LPGs.
16:21 FM Interjection 2 ... thru zero sine on sine dynamic (envelope / VCA controlled modulation) FM for some quirky and classic FM tones.
16:34 Using the EN129 as an LFO. This offers some unique wave shape control using thru zero FM to control the LFO shape at various sub audio and audio rates. We create a new "diamond waveform" in this section too.
20:27 FM Interjection 3 ... tuneful yet warbly thru zero FM sequences with a little wonkiness as a palette cleanser before the final section on the video.
20:48 Creating a kick drum / percussion sound with the EN129 and using the thru zero FM to add noise based snare like overtones or FM like tones for added impact and creative tone control when synthesising your own drum sounds."

"The purpose of 'TEST SERIES' is to focus on the sound design possibilities of various gear combinations when pushed to the extremes. This series is not musical nor does it serve as an instructional video. It is all about sound potential.
