"The Select Bus is a new standard for inter-module communication that utilizes the Doepfer CV bus on the Eurorack power rails to let digital modules with State Selection control each other without any patching needed. If one module is set to Lead on the Select Bus, and another to Follow, the follower will always automatically go to the same State the Leader is on. With René and TEMPI (with latest firmware), this means we can potentially have a unique clocking arrangement for each of René’s States. Also in the case of René and TEMPI, it is possible to use René’s Multi-Paste, Mesh, Store, and other commands to tell TEMPI to do the same.

You must have the latest TEMPI firmware to fully utilize the Select Bus with TEMPI."

All-Hardware Live Electro with Korg Mono/Poly + Elektron Dark Trinity

Published on Oct 24, 2018 Austin Speed

"Quick jam with my newly acquired Korg Mono/Poly, this thing is absolutely wicked! It’s being triggered by the Analog Four and audio is being sent to the Monomachine for some light stereo effects. Audio is a direct recording straight from the Octatrack."

ST Modular - Filtering Werner

Published on Oct 24, 2018 Stefan Tretau

"Werner is a modification of Olivier Gillet´s Ripples filter. Actually its a Franz´d Ripples if you like, as it got a mixer and an internal LFO. Just like his big brother. It is not as buttery as Franz, but still one of the best filter around.

It has all the functionality of the original Ripples module, but also provides a transistor based 3-channel mixer and an LFO with Triangle, Square and inverted Triangle outs, that are normalled to CUTOFF and Q. This connection is interrupted as soon as external CV is plugged into the corresponding CV inputs.

There is also an LFO RESET input in order to restart the LFO cycle. This way you can synchronize the CUTOFF movements to a rhythmical pattern.

Resources for Ripples:
https://github.com/pichenettes/eurorack

Details:

● Analog Filter
● 3 Filter Outputs: Low Pass 2-Pole, Low-Pass 4-Pole, Band Pass 2-Pole
● VCA for Low-Pass 4-Pole
● Internal LFO with three Waveforms: Triangle, Inverted Triangle & Square
● LFO Reset
● LED indicating LFO rate
● LFO normalled to Filter Circuit
● Apply three LFO waveforms at the same time
● Attenuator for each LFO Wave or external CV
● 3-Channel Transistor based Mixer
● Volume control for each Mixer Channel
● Wrong Polarity Protection
● 3U Eurorack module, 10 HP wide
● Power consumption: 55 mA at +12 V and 55 mA at -12 V

The module consists of three boards:
● Front PCB Panel
● Control PCB for LEDs, potentiometers and jacks
● Little PCB with all electronic components for LFO and Mixer

55 mA +12V
55 mA -12V
0 mA 5V
35 mm deep
Module is available as a DIY project only."

Gecho & Friends - Part 3: 8bit Mixtape Neo

Published on Oct 24, 2018 Gecho Loopsynth

"This is the very cool looking 'Berliner Schule' edition of 8bit Mixtape Neo from http://neo.8bitmixtape.cc/ - a little digital synthesizer which is also available as a DIY kit! There are various firmwares available too, this is just one of them.

They play nice together. Mixtape's monophonic output is spread around stereo with delay effect, layered into the loop, filtered using low-pass filters individually controlled by four Gecho's infra-red proximity sensors.

As usual, no additional effects or post-processing applied."

Loopseque 8 — beat performer

Published on Oct 24, 2018 loopseque

"Wheel-based performer for rhythm improvisation.

Loopseque 8 is a logical evolution of the Loopseque’s idea.

Thanks to the modern iPad capabilities, we were able to implement much more effects, more audio channels, improved graphics and many other features, the chief among which is the ability to mix projects as we do it with tracks in DJ's music apps.

Loopseque is back with a rounded beat machine, percussion drum sequencer, the ability to change samples, patterns on the run, use effects, filters, etc to easily create a musical atmosphere that you like.

You can record sessions, use audio Copy/Paste or AudioBus to work with created audio material outside Loopseque 8 application.

Waldorf Quantum demo - SOYL Custom made preset by CO5MA

Published on Oct 24, 2018 CO5MA

"Demo focused on the Resonator, with two custom-made presets: Soyl I and Soyl II

In some parts, the Resonator is used on its own. And in some parts, the resonator is affected to a sample.

Internal FX only.

This is a live improvisation and not a recorded sequence."

Cannibal Memorymoog (by Synthpro)

Published on Oct 23, 2018 synthpro

"The Story of the Cannibal Memorymoog:

I usually try to keep my parts units locked up tight for that one night of year that crazy things seem to happen but one year I forgot and the nightmares still haunt me to this day of what I witnessed!

The day after Halloween, I came into my shop just as any other day but today something was different. I noticed this trail of synthesizer guts leading from the door of my shop into my surgical room where I had a minimoog in the process of getting a part transfusion. As I entered the surgical room, I found the minimoog on the floor busted up pretty bad as if something had been eating on it. I continued following the trail of synth guts and they stopped at the cabinet where I keep donor synthesizers. I open the cabinet and the donor memorymoog I had is missing. I stood there for a few minutes trying to figure out what happened when all of a sudden, I heard a noise from the front of my shop....I cautiously made my way to where the noise came from and nothing could have prepared me for what I saw; it was my donor memormyoog and it had became a zombie, it was eating minimoog boards and trying to trap a moog source to eat afterwards!

I did the only thing I knew to do; I picked up the zombie memorymoog, threw it on my surgical table, and started disassembling it as quickly as I could. As I removed the parts, I put them in the donor cabinet making sure to lock it after each part was stored.

Still to this day, I sometimes hear moving in the cabinet around Oct but I dare not open to see what it is making the noise.

Happy Halloween Friends!

Sincerely,
Jareth"
