FOUR INDEPENDENT MODULATION SECTIONS:
The heart of the pedal are its four, independent modulation sections synced in time, they are:

MOD features great sounding EHX Vibrato, Flanger, Chorus or Phaser. The Depth knob lets you set the amount of the effect while Feedback controls the resonance of the Flanger and Phaser.

TREM delivers tremolo, an effect that modulates the volume of your signal. The Depth control sets tremolo intensity.

PAN modulates between left and right in stereo operation. In mono operation the PAN section acts as another tremolo section, but with the wave shapes all inverted!

FILTER offers a choice of a modulated LPF, HPF or BPF. In LPF (low pass filter) frequencies above a modulated cutoff point are cut. In HPF (high pass filter) frequencies below a modulated cutoff point are cut, and in BPF (band pass filter) frequencies above and below a modulated center point are cut.

Each section also features a choice of four LFO shape options: rising sawtooth, triangle, falling sawtooth or square wave. They affect the way the modulation transitions and provide advanced creative control over the specific section as well as the way they interact with each other.

Upcoming Tinami MD-1 is Modular

via Tinami:

"YES! MD-1 is modular 🙌

Some of you have been asking us about this new feature and we are excited to let you know that MD-1 is actually modular.

MD-1 mainboard and components are designed to be easily rearranged by any of you with just a screwdriver and a minimal set of skills.

So what does it means? If you're feeling that your MD-1 needs a different layout just disassemble the case and rearrange the components.

Check our brand new logo shaped components PCB!
How can I get some extra components?
We are going to sell extra components to those who already have their controller and need some extra components for more versatility. We are actually thinking to add this new reward to our Kickstarter campaign.

Is this already working?
All the hardware is already done! We are working to add an affordable alternative for sensing each component, so every time a user rearranges MD-1 components our MIDI editor software automatically reads the controller's new layout. This is truly important for us, since we want it to be very simple for you every time you want to rearrange the layout."

Erica Synths- Pico VOICE -Karplus Strong synthesis with Pico DSP Reverb

Published on Sep 18, 2018 Dziam Bass

"Hi GUYS!!!
How much can happen one day ?
Well - a lot when you know your modules !!!
I have a small movie with the modul Erica Synths PICO VOICE in one of 8 modes of synthesis in it and exactly KARPLUS STRONG !!!
PICO VOICE has been patched with the trigger for S&H and later to the main clock with sequencer 1v / oct, added a little NOISE BURST and DISTORTION built in it !!!
the next step is to add the PICO DSP module and create space with REVERB.
Drums come from the PICO DRUMS I modules and are plugged into the PICO TRIGG trigger.
in 2 minutes it shows this simple connection in music !!!
also take a look at Erica Synths to the website when 40% OFF goes on their chosen modules !!!
leave a comment what you think about this small module PICO VOICE because it is small but has huge possibilities like most modules from PICO series !!!"

Yamaha MODX - Legendary electric piano and organ sounds

Published on Sep 18, 2018 Woody Piano Shack

"Missed the live stream? Here are highlight moments from the demo of preset sounds from the PIANO, ELECTRIC PIANO and ORGAN categories on the new Yamaha MODX synthesizer. We'll try some of the Rhodes, DX7 piano and Hammond B3 organ sounds.

We'll be using the MODX6, which has the same features as the MODX7 and MODX8, with technology derived from the flagship Yamaha MOTAGE. Plenty of the AWM2 and FM sounds to enjoy."

Three 101-VCF Modules Polyphonic Filter Demo 03 (Roland SH-101)

Published on Sep 18, 2018 gstormelectro

"Audio and Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2018

Today I deploy THREE 101-VCF modules for some polyphonic synth music.
The three filters are getting their Envelope CVs round-robin much like a polyphonic synthesizer distributes their voices.
To do this I use the sequential switch to rotate the
firing of envelope contours going to each 101-VCF.

Pittsburgh Synth Box - 101-VCF #1
DNA Symbiotic Waves - 101-VCF #2
Rozendall CEM3340 VCO - 101-VCF #3
Bass - Behringer Model D
Pads - Roland Juno-1
Envelope Contours - 2xADSR dual envelope
Sequencing - Arturia Beatstep Pro Pitch CV and clock
Kick - Future Retro Transient
Hats - Tiptop Hats909
Additional percussion - Roland TR-606
Delay - Timefactor
Small amount of Reverb - Strymon Big Sky

Recorded live in one shot.
Some post-processing in Cubase 7."

2hp Euclid (euclidean rhythm generator)

Published on Sep 18, 2018 DivKidVideo

"Here's Euclid the Euclidean rhythm generator from 2hp. It takes a clock or trigger and generators Euclidean rhythms of varying lengths, with varying active steps and offset to shift the pattern around a musical bar/phrase. There's CV over length and steps and a reset to get everything back to step 1 and in sync with your other sources. A fun little unit and a useful one for rhythmic control.

A great online tool for learning about and playing with Euclidean Rhythms - http://www.groovemechanics.com/euclid/"
