Analog SynthiMuse max note rate is 17/second

Published on Dec 3, 2018 The SynthiMuse

"Just a little explanation on the performance hit that adding the analog outputs adds.
The standard SynthiMuse has a maximum note rate of about 33 notes/second.
For the analog SynthiMuse, because it takes extra time to calculate the precision DAC output, it means that the maximum note rate is 16 or 17 per second. This may not matter but it's important to know."

With the ARP 2600.

Sequential In The Spotlight Interview with NOLONGERHUMAN

You can find an interview on Sequential's website here.

"Based out of Portland, Oregon, nolongerhuman is the solo electronic project of Clint Robertson.

With a decade of experience in creating harsh and dark electro music, nolongerhuman has gained a large and loyal fanbase with his uncompromising melodies and deeply personal lyrics.

nolongerhuman has produced three full-length albums and has been featured on numerous remixes and compilations, toured the United States, debuted new releases in the Top 10 on the German Electronic Web Charts, and has systematically produced genre-bending harsh electronics with a sense of emotion rarely seen.

Combining music theory and personal, soul-searching experiences with harsh industrial is something rare in the genre. But nolongerhuman utilizes a masterful mixture of hard-hitting beats, catchy keyboard riffs, impeccable synth placement, and a haunting sense of ambiance, all of which inject soul and beauty into a genre that is typically defined by volume and attack factor. Vocal samples put nolongerhuman in a historical context, harking back to the early 90’s industrial while also enhancing the diary-esque lyrics of the music. And while the songs work easily on the dance floor, they also offer the listener a thought-provoking experience with running themes of introspection, integrity, society, and a culture of apathy and blind faith in a somewhat dystopian fashion."

Percussa MSSP 4-Voice Sequencing Demo

Published on Dec 2, 2018 PERCUSSA

On Kickstarter here.

"Today's #mssp kickstarter demo: 4-voice sequencing with per voice step sequencer, microtonal quantizer (jazz scale from the SCALA archive), sine osc, envelope, bus routing + global stereo delay & reverb and frequency modulation of all sine oscillators via the input module. This patch contains 23 modules total. We use a make noise STO and function to frequency modulate the sine oscillators in this 4-voice patch. Various parameters in the patch are adjusted using the #mssp encoders, such as attack time for the envelopes and clock division factor for the step sequencers."

"Roti Pola is a four channel attenuverting CV mixer and offset with visual feedback in a small package. With nothing patched to channel 1, a 5v offset is applied to the mix, useful for controlling other parameters or modifying CV signals.

Jam features the Rota Pola which is CV'd in to Cursus Iteritas through the Veils VCA. Drums are a combination of the Basimilus Iteritas and Manis Iteritas. Other voice is Scanned, sequenced by the Octone. Triggers coming from Integra Solum."

"Lapsus Os is a four channel attenuator/attenuverter and offset. Designed with performance in mind, each channel can be set to either attenuate or attenuate/invert an incoming signal, adjust offset of an incoming signal, or with nothing patched to its input, generate a 0–5v or ±5v offset. Switches on the back of the module invert the fader behavior, allowing for the module to be mounted in either direction, for further customization and ease of use.

Jam features the Lapsus Os controlling 6 CV outputs: 2 for the Manis Iteritas, 2 for the Ataraxic Iteritas, 1 for the Wasp Filter, and 1 for the 2HP VCA. Kicks are from the BIA."
