TRAX! Session 1

Published on Apr 25, 2019 FutureRetroSynths

"Here's an improv session with two Trax sequencers each playing a Transient Plus module. With one module playing more 808 type drum sounds, and the other playing some synth samples.
Here you can see just some of the ways to enter and edit sequence data, and further manipulate sequences into something new."

SUPER SMASH BUTTON - Arcade Audio Gate

Published on Apr 25, 2019 midierror

"The Super Smash Button is an audio gate controlled by an arcade button! It works with anything you plug into it - synths, drum machines, radios, vocals, effects and more.

Available from Tindie here.

The Super Smash Button is an audio gate which allows you to pass any signal at the bash of the big arcade button! Trigger musical elements, vocals, synths, noise and drones through it for rhythmic stutters, jittered melodies and chopped up beats.

It works incredibly well with drones, circuit bent keyboards and weird effects machines - bringing a new dimension rhythm and melody combined. Plug in a radio or play some foley recordings for randomly accessed nuggets of sound to add unpredictability and serendipitous synchronicity to the proceedings.

It has a toggle switch to allow the signal to pass completely, for when your Track and Field skills have come a cropper. Use external effects after the pedal to expand its impact - a delay or loop pedal is the ideal output for an innovative way of making new textures, tones and soundscapes.

This is a hand-made, hard-wearing device in a strong aluminum enclosure, with a tried-and-tested arcade button for years of trigger finger raising. It ships from the UK with either Green, Blue or Yellow buttons and four rubber feet to grip to and protect your surfaces.

The Super Smash Button is 111mm x 31mm (47mm including switch) x 60mm and weights around 150g."

Eurorack utilities are KING!!! and the Pusherman A/B Switches

Published on Apr 25, 2019 DivKidVideo

"I had some fun with this thumbnail playing around and I have to say DivKid looks pretty cool as a slim guy with a crown. Now this isn't a video on the general concept of Eurorack utilities, which really are the secret sauce and magic on a modular system ... it is however a video of just one simple passive utility that I really enjoy using that make my system feel more performable and usable. It's the Pusherman A/B Switches modules, super simple, super effective."

DIY or Pre-Built

via Pusherman

"A/B Switches is a 10hp utility module for controlling signal flow. It can be used for audio or CV.

This version features three on-on switches at the top and three on-off-on at the bottom.

With the on-on switch you can toggle between two inputs or outputs.

With the on-off-on switch you can toggle between the two inputs or outputs or mute in the central position.

This is a passive module so it requires no power.

Ships with 2.5M and 3M screws"

FULL modular synthesiser
The most sweet standalone modular synthesiser . It’s for experimental purposes but also to have a bread and butter performance .It has a Effects processor With a delay .That you can also use externally It’s a built in Nemo delay .Function De patch Arealeft banana jack .are output .The right ones are inputs . They come in different colours and different functions.This has also influence on the potential metres and also on the switches the whole function of the synthesiser

with the beautiful sound engine of candy reactor and cloud busting

The synthesiser has a different sounds palet

Basline
Noise
plum ciat
apati sqwes
Drone
FM radio

Also all the functionality as you can mix

Remember This instrument it’s about finding sweet spots So there is a part programmed and there is a bus you must find out for yourself .There are only three .And they are made in the Netherlands in Amsterdam for more information please see the demonstration movies or contact us .It’s not allowed to buy all three for one person 😉

New Moog Matriarch Revealed

Published on Apr 24, 2019 Moog Music Inc

"Matriarch: Place / Time / Memory illuminates the interconnectedness between one’s sense of place, our perceptions of sound organized in time, and the impressions they leave behind.

Exploring the Moog Matriarch synthesizer from their personal home studios, multi-instrumentalist Lisa Bella Donna, Ghostly Intl. electronic producer Max Ravitz (Patricia), Anthem / Call of Duty / Assassins Creed composer Sarah Schachner and Paris Strother of Grammy-nominated R&B duo We Are KING, express 4 unique sonic perspectives on the new instrument within the context of their own creative environments."

Update:I'm not seeing the White Noise Generator, Spring Reverb, or Linear FM that are featured on the Grandmother. Interesting if this is indeed the case, and good news for those that invested in a Grandmother. Some quick diffs compared to the Grandmother:

49 velocity sensitive keys with aftertouch vs 32 velocity minus aftertouch
4 oscillators vs 2
2 filters vs 1
Dual VCA
Second simple LFO
Analog Delay
3 bipolar attenuators with ring mod vs 1
2x4 mults vs. 1x4
Mono, duo, & 4 note paraphonic vs Mono
256 step sequencer adds 4 note per step & 12 stored patterns vs 3
90 patch points (for the added modules) vs 41

And again, the Matriarch appears to be missing the White Noise Generator, Spring Reverb, and Linear FM on the Grandmother.

Update2: new hi-res image. It looks like Noise and Linear FM are there.  So we have the Stereo Delay in place of Spring Reverb.

"The Pinnacle of Moog's Semi-Modular Family of Analog Synthesizers.

Moog Matriarch is a patchable 4-note paraphonic analog synthesizer with a built-in Sequencer, Arpeggiator, stereo Ladder Filters, and stereo Analog Delay. Create rich evolving chord patterns immediately with 'no patching required', then tap into an abundance of inspiring textures, new sounds, and an endless supply of happy accidents through Matriarch’s 90 modular patch points. Based on the vintage circuitry of classic Moog synthesizer modules, Matriarch is a catalyst for creative ideas and a medium for multidimensional expression.

Sequence and perform in mono, duo, and 4-note paraphonic modes.

Classic and ping-pong style repeats with lush infinite delay trails.

Create, mangle and explore the endless expanse of sound with 90 modular patch points.

Matriarch is an analog synthesizer with an emphasis on imagination. The pinnacle of Moog’s semi-modular family of synthesizers, Matriarch’s patchable architecture and vintage Moog circuits reward open exploration with endless sonic possibilities and unparalleled analog sound.

Easily create rich harmonic shapes with up to 4 notes of paraphony that can be sequenced, saved, and shifted with Matriarch’s intuitive 256 step sequencer, or stack the analog VCOs to play on a massive 4 oscillator mono synth.
With a deep assortment of synthesis modules based on Bob Moog’s original circuit designs, Matriarch’s 100% analog signal path spans a dynamic sonic vocabulary – from overdriven monophonic bass to gently evolving paraphonic plucks that cycle through waveshapes into a wash of infinite delay trails. Coupling the power of vintage stereo ladder filters, dual Envelope Generators, stereo Analog Delays, and stereo VCAs, Matriarch delivers a multidimensional sound that empowers the sonic exploration of space and time.

Though Matriarch’s semi-modular design requires absolutely no patching, 90 modular patch points are easily accessible throughout the panel via the included 3.5mm patch cables. This powerful electronic instrument is a highly-versatile addition to any stage or studio that can effortlessly transform from a performance keyboard to a fully modular analog synthesizer at a moment’s notice.

In addition to its standalone function, Matriarch is also an ideal processor of external sound sources and a powerful keyboard front-end for expanding a DFAM, Mother-32, Grandmother, or Eurorack modular system.

**Matriarch Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer begins shipping in Summer of 2019."

Multi-tracked, about 7 tracks.

I used NI RC24 Reverb and Replika Delay.
Then a bit of stereo widening, some high pass filtering and a touch of top end EQ."
