Hydronium, Part 3: Acid all the Synths!

Published on May 24, 2019 Olivier Ozoux

"The Rare Wave Hydronium can turn every other modular or semi-modular synths into Acid synths, thanks to a CV output that contains the legato glide information, so it doesn't matter if your synth can't do it, because the Hydronium will legato glide in its place.

I have four different semi-modular synths, that I'm turning into acid synths. The Behringer Model D, Plankton Electronics Ants, Dreadbox NYX, and MakeNoise 0-Coast, and as bonus, the Rare Waves Hydronium by itself. The portable Deluge does sequencer duties and makes all the other noises."

HOW TO GENETIC SCISSOR WITH GLUE + DNA! Future Sound Systems // Superbooth 2019

Published on May 24, 2019 DivKidVideo

"Genetics influences oscillators? Analogue synth glue? DNA modulation? The new Recombination Engine from Future Sound Systems is a triple analogue oscillator that flips out the positive and negative portions of waves to impose other oscillators bringing into sync, rectification and tonnes of other 'sonic FX' to the sound. The 3 oscillators working together sounding like analogue vocal synthesis almost like a model of VOSM, super impressive.

There's also the Cyclical Engine we saw last year which has now had a four quadrant multiplier option so you can either AM or Ring Modulate each waveform individually, super sonic sculpting to come with that I'm sure.

FSS are also developing a new high end linear power solution and desk pin matrix devices for studio gear, guitar/pedals and more."

Flesh resistance & skin modulation with the Landscape HC-TT & Stereo Field // Superbooth 2019

Published on May 24, 2019 DivKidVideo

"Having played around with and used the all flesh human capacitance pads in my Eurorack system for a while it was great to get chance to chat to Landscape about the new version of their HT-CC human controlled cassette tape manipulation and CV controller as well as hearing their Stereo Field create interference like noise and more. Both devices really warrant consideration and experimentation with audio in both the creation of sound and manipulation of it. Using your skin as resistors and capacitors makes you part of the circuit. Almost a human circuit bend if you will. I hope I can check these out in more detail in the future."

"In this video I show the Rhythmic Controls and Custom CC Modulation. You can have upto 5 CC modulation sources, I used one to keep it simple and effected CC paramters such as Filter Cutoff, Res, Release, Decay etc. Its pretty straight forward."

𝕌ℕ𝕀ℂ𝕆ℝℕ 𝔹𝕆𝕆𝕄 is a Eurorack-format, dual function, module.
It's primary function is a homage to the legendary 808-Kick (discrete circuitry) augmented by a vactrol-based, opto compressor.
Most of all it's designed to be hacked, bent and modified to enable you to shape your very own signature kick boom!"

SUNSHINE JONES - A LOVE LETTER TO THE TR-808

Published on May 23, 2019 Sunshine Jones

"A Love Letter to the mighty Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer.
Covering a brief re cap of what we already know, and discussing the cultural significance, and lasting inspiration this instrument has had on the world, and music in general, the basics of XOX style programming, a general overview of the drum machine, and a discussion and comparison of the various clones and replicants which are currently available including the System 80 880, The Roland Boutique TR-08, the Roland Aira TR-8, the e-Licktronic Yocto, the Acid Lab MIAMI, and even the TR-606.

Note: I am an electronic musician, a designer, and a huge fan of synthesizers and drum machines. I am not an authority, nor am I a historian. These love letters (I should think that it goes without saying) are Op Ed (opinion based editorial) and thus they are filled with hyperbole, artistic license and some degree of speaking categorically to get the point across. This is not the first word, or anywhere near the last word on the story I'm telling. It's just a love letter.

Photographed, written, filmed, scored, programed, narrated and directed by Sunshine Jones.

I have made a limited edition T-shirt print of the technical drawing made for use in this love letter - a hand drawn pencil and ink illustration with type set in photoshop. 100 shirts are available.
