Technics SX-K700 synthesizer demo and review

Published on Oct 23, 2018 Gearfacts

Preset synth with limited editing, covered at 2:40.

"Technics keyboards never inspired me all that much, but I decided to make a real effort with this one. Now I think that with a bit of imagination and creative thinking, this is definitely a usable (though not classic) keyboard in this year 2018."

Technics SX-K700 keyboard synth: Sounds only, no talk

Published on Oct 23, 2018 Gearfacts

"As promised, a direct recording of the Technics KS-X700 with some beats, basslines, general sounds and demonstrated use of effects and synth editing."

Critter & Guitari - FX 13 for Organelle

Published on Oct 24, 2018 Critter & Guitari

"Download this patch here: http://organelle.io
Quickly select effect, change effects settings, and jump through custom presets with the FX-13 effects patch! Choose from reverb, delay, spectral delay, pitch shifter, chorus, flanger, phaser, bitcrusher, tremolo, LFO filter, panner, and two distortions.

Saving a preset is a cinch! Press a key, chose your favorite effect and settings, and hold Aux.

In this demo, we've shown input examples in the forms of an organ recording, another Organelle playing Genny 1 and Rhodey, and electric guitar.

Cool!"

Strutting With Steppy

Published on Oct 24, 2018 Intellijel

"Steppy is a 4-track programmable gate sequencer with eight internal memory slots, external clocking, numerous tweakable parameters, and a performance-first design aesthetic.

Each track features numerous independent parameters that govern its playback independently of the other tracks. Specifically:

Each track has its own length, which can range from 1-step to 64-steps, allowing for polyrhythms, fills, or constantly evolving gate interactions between tracks.
Each track has its own gate length, which ranges from very short to very long, with tied gates possible at the extreme setting.
Each track has its own clock divider, allowing patterns to play out over completely different periods of time.
Each track has its own swing setting, which offsets the timing of every other step.
Each track has its own delay setting, which offsets the timing of every step.
Each track has its own probability control, which sets the likelihood that each programmed gate will fire when called upon by the pattern.
Each track can be shifted (or ‘rotated’) forward or backward by a number of steps. So if you’ve created a pattern that ‘feels’ like it has its downbeat on step 3, you can shift that pattern two steps to the left, so that the downbeat sits on step 1.
Tracks can be programmed by entering active steps on the grid or tapped in live as the sequence is moving. Tracks can be selected and modified in real time as the sequence plays. A select button allows you to directly access each track (and each page of 16 steps within that track) directly through Steppy’s intuitive multifunction buttons array.

Tracks can be individually muted and unmuted, and a special performance mode (called “Loopy”) enables you to touch any two gate steps and instantly create a performance that loops between those steps.

Track patterns can be cleared without clearing its playback parameters, and all track patterns (along with their individual playback and performance parameters) can be saved as a preset to one of eight internal memory slots."

The Select Bus

Published on Oct 24, 2018 MAKEN0ISE

"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."
