nonlinearcircuits Feague QUO VCF

Note this module is from 2016.

"The Feague is a 4 pole VCF and quadrature oscillator with 0, 90, 180 & 270 degree outputs. It is based on the design in electronotes 41.

It features a lo/hi switch to run it at audio rates or LFO rates, plus a nonlinear Q pot which makes for interesting behaviour when using as a VCF.

When using as a QUO, the nonlinQ pot is used to increase the amplitude of the output signal, which is known to shrink somewhat at low frequencies in these kind of oscillators.

Specs

HP: 10

Inputs

SIGNAL: audio input
CV: for controlling cutoff in VCF or frequence in LFO/VCO
SYNC: sync in/freeze/hold control
1V/OCT: for controlling cutoff in VCF or frequence in LFO/VCO

Outputs

Each ouputs are 90 degrees in out of phase : 0, 90, 190 and 270.

In VCF, the two outputs closest to the side edge of the panel are low-pass outputs, and the other two are band-pass."

Podcast 273: Dan Goldstein (Cherry Audio)

Published on Apr 21, 2019 20Objects

"Dan Goldstein has been living his dream for 20 years. He started off with Sonic Foundry - back in the golden days - creating the future of audio software from scratch. He went on to be a main developer of Mixcraft, and has recently been involved in the release of Cherry Audio's Voltage Modular synth software. It's a powerhouse, and you can tell that Dan is really excited about it.

We took the opportunity to roll through some of his history, and I learned a lot about Sonic Foundry's world. But I also got a chance to see the trajectory of a guy - in Dan - that knew what he loved, and spent a lot of effort pursuing it. You hear it in his voice; despite the fact that he's been doing it for 20 years, he sounds as excited as a teen with his first car.

It was cool to talk to Dan about history, but also about his current work on Voltage Modular. If you are interested in playing around with a new kind of virtual modular, you should check it out - it's breaking some new ground, and is a blast to play with.

Matzoh Man and KOMA Field Kit [Episode 134]

Published on Apr 20, 2019 CatSynth TV

"The Matzoh Man returns for Passover this year. This time, his rendition of Dayenu is used to drive the KOMA Field Kit via a contact mic. Audio is routed to the Field Kit's enveloper follower to drive the solenoid and sundry objects. In the final segment, we use Matzoh Man's audio and the envelope generator to also drive the Morpheus Z-plane filter from Rossum Electro-Music, with the gate changing the filter with almost every note of the tune.

Chag Pesach Sameach!"

Korg VOLCA FM + KEYS Ambient Jam/Improv

Published on Apr 20, 2019 DreamsOfWires

"Just something simple: Korg Volca FM + Keys - Sync'ed, internal sequencers, EOS2 reverb, a pad sound, and some video clips of the Arizona desert. Enable subtitles for a few notes pertaining to the video.
I had a lot of trouble syncing these two. I don't know why, as I had no problems with the Keys and Monologue together, but I've had various advice on the issue (see my 'Community' tab), all of which seemed to help - lowering the volume of the master unit, making sure you have to best quality cables so that there's no cross-talk between them, foul language... If anyone else wishes to share their Volca-sync'ness experiences feel free to drop a comment below, although I've sold the FM, so I can't try any tips personally, but others might like to hear them.
Recorded into AUM on an iPad, with EOS2 reverb, which you can hear gradually faded out completely towards the end.

Consider helping me to comtnue this channel by purchasing my music on Bandcamp or supporting me on Patreon - I've invested a lot of money into what I do and am struggling to sustain it. Also of great help would be sharing knowlege of my work with others - it's very hard to get exposure, and since YouTube added a paid 'Promote' button for us content creators my views have coincidently gone down. Fancy that! I'd be interested to hear if anyone else is having a similar experience."
