2hp Rnd (smooth & stepped random CV and random gates)

Published on Sep 25, 2018 DivKidVideo

"So here's my eighth video in the #2hpTuesdays series of videos covering the 2hp modules. This one is all about random with the Rnd. There's smooth random that moves linearly between values like a shifting triangle wave LFO, quantised random with is quantised to a clock (internal or external) giving you a traditional sample and hold output. Then there's also a clock generator that outputs clock or when in external clock mode it outputs random gates with probability control (instead of internal clock rate) and you also get varying gate lengths. Small, controllable, random is always good fun and really useful, win win for 2hp ... again! :)"

MB Sound Design #2: "Project Blue Beam"

Published on Sep 25, 2018 Kris Lennox

"Aliens descend :) In terms of sound design, it'll likely take years before the full potential of the MB's sound design possibilities are fully realised by the musical/sound community, what with the modulation possibilities. Even with patches like this one, I'm only scratching the surface. Sound design potential is one of the true strengths of the instrument, and one of the main motivating factors for my own purchasing the MB. There aren't many standalone monos with the same level of sound design potential; working with the MB in this style is likely the closest one can get to working with a full modular rig/setup.

Personal taste RE tone of analog monos will always be subjective (i.e. Moog/Arturia etc), but sound design on the MB will, objectively, likely remain in a league of its own for quite some time.

The included patch is quite involved. You'll initially hear microtonal drifting on the voice-like treatment of VCO 3's sine wave. The drifting works well to create the 'other-worldly' effect (check out Penderecki's music for fine acoustic examples of microtonal drift). There are numerous modulations on VCO's 1 and 2, plus an envelope on the blue noise."

"Running a Moog Grandmother synth through the MF-104M moogerfooger analog delay pedal. This is a sound demo, no talking. Disclaimer: I think my BBD chips are starting to give, some of the sounds you'll hear are a bit dirtier and aren't stock on the MF-104M."

IK Multimedia UNO Synth Editor review

Published on Sep 24, 2018 SynthMania

"IK Multimedia just released the software editor for their UNO Synth analog synthesizer. The editor allows access to all the parameters of the synth in a large, easy to edit panel with tons of (virtual) knobs. In this video I go through the main functions of the editor, create a few custom patches, and record a song entirely done on the UNO Synth - using all the new patches created on the editor - including drums, percussion, bass, and synths

00:00 Introduction
00:30 Hardware setup
01:13 Editor sections and functions
05:30 Making a PWM synth patch
11:05 Making a synth bass patch
15:03 Making a percussion patch
16:16 Filters, LFO, delay, and other features
20:22 Wrap up
20:57 Song entirely done on the UNO Synth using the editor"

An ARP 2500 in Eurorack Format?

CMS 1004 demo - The Pearlman Oscillator and T-mixer Published on Sep 24, 2018 Phil Cirocco

"This is a quick preliminary demo of the new CMS 1004 Pearlman Oscillator. This VCO is a faithful reproduction of the massive VCO circuit from the ARP 2500, shrunk down to euro rack format. An analog CRT oscilloscope shows some of the unique and interesting waveform combinations available. discretesynthesizers.com"

CMS is going eurorack with the CMS 1004T (ARP 2500) - Pearlman Oscillator and T-mixer

This is huge news. Not only the ARP 2500 1004T oscillator in eurorack format, but CMS entering the eurorack market as well. Phil Cirocco of CMS is known as the ARP specialist in the US. He works on vintage ARPs as well as designing his own synths, most recently the CMS 2607. Be sure to see the CMS label at the bottom of this post for more.

Pearlman, of course refers to ARP's founder Alan R. Pearlman.

Curious if CMS plans a full blown ARP 2500 in eurorack format. Imagine that. :)
