VCV Rack v 1.0 Update Adds 16 Voice Polyphony & More

via VCV Rack

What's new in 1.0:

Polyphony. Use up to 16 voices with the full flexibility of modular patching.

Cables automatically turn polyphonic when requested by MIDI modules, sequencers, etc.

MIDI output. Control MIDI hardware with Rack modules.

New modules include CV-GATE for drum machines, CV-MIDI for desktop synths, and CV-CC for Eurorack interfaces.

MIDI mapping. Control knobs, buttons, and sliders directly from a MIDI controller.

Using the new MIDI-MAP module, click a virtual parameter and move a hardware control to create a mapping.

Module Browser. Search, filter, and view modules in your collection.

Click and drag to directly place modules in the rack.

Multi-core engine. Use multiple CPU threads to maximize the number of modules.

Accelerated polyphonic engines on many VCV and third-party modules.

…and dozens of other new features and fixes, including manual parameter entry, module disabling, module “force” dragging, module expanders, easy zoom gestures, and more.

See the CHANGELOG for the full list.

"In the style of the Ondes Martenot and Electro Therimin, this is a sliding pitch synth with analog oscillators. Great condition and sound, the expression keys add a great dynamic control to the timbre. Midi over USB has been added to the 4.3 version so it integrates well with softsynths. This particular unit has really nice walnut casing and includes power supply. Bought this for a specific project, which is done, nice synth but I am space limited and the studio is too cluttered to use!"

Prophet Rev2 Quick Look | Onboard Stereo Effects

Published on Jun 18, 2019 Synth & Sundry

"We take a close look at the comprehensive effects collection on the Dave Smith Instruments Prophet Rev 2, a refreshed modern analog polysynth.

These include various delay, chorus, ring modulation, distortion, flanger and phaser types. The effects section on the front panel contains 4 controls for Mix, Effects type selection and two dedicated parameter controls that give you hands-on control suited to each effect.

Recorded through an RME Fireface UC audio interface without any additional effects or dynamics processing added."

New Alemanlabs Tap Tempo LFO and M-172 Phase Shifter Eurorack Modules

Published on Jun 16, 2019 Pete Aleman

The modules are currently for sale by Alemanlabs on Reverb. Note this is the first Alemanlabs post on the site.

"This is a quick demo of two Alemanlabs modules. The two modules are the, "Tap Tempo LFO" by Electric Druid, and the other module is a clone of the 6 stage Phase Shifter from the Roland 100-M modular. Im using one of the LFO's to modulate the Phase Shifer and the other LFO to modulate an SH-1 filter. I am also using an LFO to modulate a VCO.

One of the key features of this LFO is the ability to sync the LFO to a beat. In this example im syncing the LFO's to a trigger out from the Arturia Beat Step Pro."

PCB and panel designed by Alemanlabs.

Features

Simple “Tap Tempo” control button.

The TAP TEMPO input can measure the time between two taps of a momentary switch or button, and uses this time to set the LFO’s basic tempo.

Ability to synchronize LFO to external clocks

The TAP TEMPO input can also accept 0-5V pulses. This allows the LFO to be synchronized to an external clock. The module also produces a CLOCK OUT which can synchronize other TAPLFOs.

LFO range from 0.025Hz to above 50Hz

The basic range of the TEMPO CV allows the LFO to produce frequencies between 0.05Hz (a 20 second cycle) and 12.8Hz. However, in conjunction with the MULTIPLIER CV, this range is extended to 0.025Hz (a 40-second cycle) to 50Hz.

Sixteen output waveforms, in two sets. The chip can produce 16 output waveforms. These are selected by the “A/B” switch.

The MULTIPLIER selects a tempo multiplier which is used to determine the final LFO frequency. This allows the LFO to produce changes at double or half-speed, or produce triplet times.

Wave Distort. The selected waveform can be distorted using the DIST pot. This modifies the duty cycle of all LFO waveforms.

Smoothing filter switch. This applies the digital equivalent of a single pole RC filter to the waveform before it is output. The filtering removes the abrupt edges that tend to give clicks in some applications and gives the waveforms a softer rise and fall (about 20msecs).

Built in fuses on the power input protect the module from over current conditions. If the module experiences any kind of over current condition the fuses will over heat protecting the module. The fuses will reset once power is recycled.

The panel is laser cut, drilled and silk screened with epoxy based ink."

"This is a clone of the M-172 Phase Shifter from the Roland 100M modular synthesizer. It has 6 stages of phase shifting for a super rich warm sound. 100% classic analog. The module is super low profile and skiff ready.
