A Hop, Skip, and a Jump With Steppy 1U

Published on Oct 30, 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."

Digitakt model sequence using midi tracks with analog synthesizers

Published on Oct 30, 2018 Vykaar Tones

"My first try using Digitakt to chain patterns so a complete song can be played. Nord rack 2 provides the chord parts and SH101 and Model D provide the bass and melody. Drum parts use TR808 samples."

Soulsby Synths ATMultitron & ATMegatron II updates // Synthfest 2018

Published on Oct 30, 2018 DivKidVideo

"Having seen these back at Superbooth (more info in that video here - [posted here] ) it's great to see the Soulsby Synths products coming along and closer to a release. The ATMultitron is an 8 voice version of the Oscitron/ATMegatron family that Soulsby are known for. Drums, bass, polyphonic stuff, analogue filters and VCAs with digital oscillators. Lots to go at."

All sounds except drums and guitar are from the Monologue with light processing in Ableton."

Erica Synths-Pico CV MIX -control of your CV

Published on Oct 30, 2018 Dziam Bass

"Hi Guys.
There is currently the sale of 40% Off on Erica Synths shop. I have a PICO CV MIX module that costs only 30 € instead of 50 €. I have a video here how important this module is when you want to mix 3 modulations by CV at once in one module. To CV In 1 I connected EG, to CV2-LFO from BLACK MODULATOR and to CV3 Bipolar from EG.
Thanks to this I have 3 modulations under my hands which I can mix, which gives you even more possibilities to create new things.it's really a simple video that shows this little module the most, but it really expands the control of many things.
For this, the BLACK VC EG used here with the expander also has a great price of 114 € instead of 190 € the expander raises the EG to a higher level.
a great opportunity to raise your system for many possibilities.
Sometimes a module like PICO CV MIX is cheap and it can develop great modulations and control of your CV."

Fusebox -Interval generator ,Envelope generator , Filter music demo

Published on Oct 30, 2018 Dziam Bass

"Hi Guys.
I have a fresh movie Fusebox from Analogue Solutions .
As always, only a musical demo, without talking and, of course, learning the nooks and crannies of the great sound of this synthesizer.
Some fun with EG and Interval Generator for tempo corresponds to LFO. also a bit of resonance, how it all works great here. Later I will switch a little button +1 oct. you can always raise it and leave it so that it works well when you want to jump one octave.
the possibility of patching a lot here as befits a good semi-modular synthesizer is just a small part of what a yellow box can do.
I added some reverb from Black Hole DSP module from Erica Synths."

old school sampling with the E-MU EMAX Sampling Synthesizer (1986)

Published on Oct 30, 2018 RetroSound

"(c) 2018 vintage synthesizer demo by RetroSound

voice and synthesizer sampling with the E-MU Emax SE sampling synthesizer from the year 1986

The Emax was the little brother of the EMULATOR II, 12-bit sampling, 42 kHz sample rate, analog filters SSM2047, awesome sound quality.
The next generation the Emax II has unfortunately digital filters and the sound is different to the Emax."
