Behringer Considering Eurorack Desktop Solina String Ensemble - Update: And a CS80?

"In the '80's, combining a Solina stringer with a Small Stone phaser was the way to go.

That's our take on it - please ignore the date and price as we haven't decided if and when we will build this recreation."

Introducing SUPER 8 | Native Instruments

Published on May 2, 2019 Native Instruments

"SUPER 8 is a modern take on classic analog polysynth instruments. Check out 350+ presets, then tweak all you want with the intuitive modern interface."

"Berlin, May 2nd, 2019 – Native Instruments today introduces SUPER 8, a new instrument that brings together vintage analog polysynth sounds with an intuitive modern interface. With more than 200 presets, SUPER 8 provides fast access to a diverse array of classic sounds and textures. The instrument also makes it simple to customize sounds while always keeping users within the instrument’s sweet spot. SUPER 8 runs in REAKTOR 6 and the free REAKTOR 6 PLAYER, and is available now at the NI Online Shop for 69€.

Extensive presets

With SUPER 8, users can start creating right away by choosing from 200+ presets – including rich analog strings, ethereal pads, deep basses, biting leads, electronic percussion, and unusual effects. Patches were inspired by iconic analog synths, but SUPER 8 has a character all its own. Modern presets provide combinations of oscillators, filters, and modulation settings that wouldn’t have been possible on original hardware.

Designed for tweaking

SUPER 8 makes it fun and easy to tweak sounds through a clean, next-generation interface. Simple sliders enable users to blend up to four waveforms for each of the two oscillators. They can mix the oscillators, sync them, and add FM oscillation for a digital edge. Users can also adjust low-pass, band-pass, or high-pass filtering, then move ASDR sliders to make quick changes to filter and amplifier envelopes.

The interface’s modulation section lets users easily add motion to sounds. They can choose one or more mod waveforms, then dial in speed and phase. For maximum creative flexibility, users can capitalize on mod routing to map almost any source to any destination.

Built to be played

Users can explore the full creative possibilities of SUPER 8 by controlling the instrument with a MIDI controller. Driving the SUPER 8 pitch wheel, mod wheel, and touch strip from a controller can produce expressive leads, shifting soundscapes, and evolving textures. Users can set parameters directly from the interface’s front page – or take advantage of automatic parameter mapping with a KOMPLETE KONTROL keyboard. Flexible mod routing enables users to adjust pitch, modulation, filtering, keytracking, and other parameters in real-time.

Pricing and availability

SUPER 8 runs in REAKTOR 6 and the free REAKTOR 6 PLAYER and is available now at the NI Online Shop for $69/ 69€ / ¥8780 / £59 / AU$99/ CA$89/ RMB 549"

FRAP TOOLS FUMANA EXPLORATIONS

Published on Jun 1, 2018 Trübüla

Playlist:

FUMANA EXPLORATION #1 (Spectral Krell #1)

A Classic Todd Barton's Krell Patch. The voice is the Make Noise DPO. The Sputnik Dual Oscillator Generator A in LFO provide the modulation voice. Parameters are modulated by Frap Tools Sapèl with Maths as primary and erratic clock source.

FUMANA EXPLORATION #5 (Kinda Hammond Tone)

A kind Hammond Tone. The 2 voices are the Make Noise DPO and Sputnik Dual Oscillator. Parameters are modulated by Frap Tools Sapèl with Maths as primary and erratic clock source.

FUMANA EXPLORATION #6

Maybe some Pink Floyd have take controls of the Fumana. The 2 voices are the Make Noise DPO and Sputnik Dual Oscillator. Parameters are modulated by Frap Tools Sapèl. The Fumana's VCAs Envelope are primary provided by Pamela's New Workout.

FUMANA EXPLORATION #7 (NO INPUT)

A NO INPUT Patch. Basically the ALL OUT is patched in the IN forcing feedback .... and a lot of reverb!

FUMANA EXPLORATION #8

Only the DPO this time. The pulsating Bass Drum Like sound is the DPO's generator A in LFO mode. Around 1'45" the original DPO sound is coming.

(Waves of) Demented Avengers

All is started with a sample of an old voice mail cassette.

In the beginning the sound are coming from the Frap Tools Fumana in feedback.

The melodic line is played by Frap Tools Sapèl quantize with the Ornament & Crime Quantermain Program on the Doepfer A-110-4

The effects on the Arturia DrumBrute are by Ableton Live 10.

Just That Dawn

First path with the Frap Tools Falistri as Movement Manager :) The Sputnik Dual Oscillator and the Make Noise DPO are spectral processed with the Frap Tools Fumana. Bowed sound by Braids. Random by Frap Tools Sapèl. Reverb and Delay on Ableton (Eventide Black Hole and Ableton Echo)

Patching Panda Punch // Dynamic VCAs, accents, envelopes + more for Eurorack

Published on May 2, 2019 DivKidVideo

"So here's the v2 Punch module from Patching Panda. It's two channels of envelopes and VCAs that add punch, dynamics and accents to your audio inputs or the envelopes you can patch out of it. You can input audio then process that through the onboard VCA using the decay envelope with CV over decay time, control over decay shape and a controllable addition of dynamics through the use of an accent input and level control. You can output the envelopes (two stage/two levels with the decay following the accent pattern too), invert them (or not) and patch those elsewhere for side chain and ducking effects. It's been a pleasure to play with and a great punchy addition to my patches giving my dynamics and more musical patterns.
