Korg Polysix + Valhalla Delay

Published on Sep 25, 2019 once upon a synth

"This is a no-talking demo of running the Korg Polysix through the ValhallaDSP Delay plugin. I just browse through some presets, tweak some sounds, and improvise some melodies and chords. There's also a bit of ValhallaDSP Room plugin for ambience."

Synth Programmer for Waldorf Pulse

Published on Sep 25, 2019 Stereoping

"Demo for some of the Pulse Programmer's features like OCTAVE buttons, DRIVE pot, E-PATCHES, easier access to Modulation Matrix and Arpeggiator. Finally the video contains a cacophonic desaster by using the Programmer 's PARAPHONICmode. It allows playing intervals and triads on the Pulse by analyzing the midinotes and muting/transposing DCO 2&3 accordingly.

Still missing is a demo for the Pulse Programmer's capabilities of combining several Pulses to a polysynth - the CASCADE. I'll do a separate video for this asap."

"Hang On" with Roland Jupiter 8, Juno 60, Juno 106, JX-3P, Korg Porlogue, and TR-808

Published on Sep 25, 2019 Machiwoomiapoo

"'Hang On' with Roland Jupiter 8, Juno 60, Juno 106, JX-3P, Korg Porlogue, and TR-808
Hello Everyone! I was inspired to write this tune today. I used the Jupiter 8 on patch 35/12 in dual mode for the intro. Then I pre-programmed the TR-808 drum pattern and sync'd it to the MX-1. The Juno 106 provided the BASS on patch 48 with Chorus and the occasional Boss DD7 Delay/RV-5 Reverb. Next the JX-3P used the string patch to play the main them. The Korg Prologue used the "Fantasia" patch to play the minor section. Finally I used the Jupiter 8 Strings in a tune followed by the outro patches which began the tune. Thanks for watching! Take care, Sam."

Reminder: VELOCITY - Seattle Synth Event Set for October 5th

Follow-up to this post where you can find a list of manufacturers planning to attend.

When: October 5th, 2019 from 11 AM – 2 AM. Presented by Modular Seattle + Patchwerks Where: Substation (645 NW 45th St)

Cost: Education (FREE) / Performances ($20 adv, $25 door)

VELOCITY is a brand new, all-day event revolving around modular / hardware synthesizers and the people who create with them. The first half of the day is focused primarily on education and a manufacturer trade show, with the second half of the day being all about live music.

11 AM – 4 PM:
DIY Workshops where attendees will learn about synthesizers through fun and engaging hands- on experiences.
Educational Presentations where speakers will speak on various subjects relating to electronic music and hardware.
Trade Show where different modular / hardware synth manufacturers will show off their latest gear and interact with the community.

5 PM – 2 AM:
Performances from local and out-of-town artists, with genres varying from house / techno, ambient, noise, industrial, and beat-oriented music.

Trade Show all ages, everything else is 21+. More info at: velocityseattle.com/

Modular Seattle is an organization devoted to electronic music, art, and community in the Puget Sound area, focused mainly on modular and hardware-based synthesizers and the people who create with them. We provide monthly performance events, educational lessons and workshops, and access to music-making technology.

Patchwerks is Seattle’s source for analog and digital music electronics, offering retail sales, education, and community events for musicians of all skill levels. We offer a variety of workshops and demo events, as well as a comprehensive lesson program covering a wide range of music production hardware, software and techniques. Visit our retail location at 3107 Eastlake Ave E, or shop online 24-7 at patchwerks.com."

Building the Super Sixteen Eurorack Sequencer

Published on May 30, 2018 Extralife

You can find the code, schematic and KiCad files here.
You can find Extralife on Patreon here if you would like to support his projects.
You cab download KiCad EDA 5.0 for free here: http://kicad-pcb.org.
For a detailed look at how to multiplex a grid of LEDs, check out this tutorial (a shift register is used instead of an i/o expander).

Playlist:
1. Designing a Eurorack Sequencer - Pt. 1: Digital to Analog

In this new series I'll be designing, prototyping and building a sequencer module for my eurorack sythesizer using the Arduino platform. In this episode, we connect the arduino to our 12v power supply and add a digital-to-analog converter output so our sequencer can output proper 0-8v CV signals.

2. Designing a Eurorack Sequencer - Part 2: Seven Segment Displays

Continuing to design and prototype the Super Sixteen sequencer module for my eurorack sythesizer using the Arduino platform. In this episode, we wire up a seven segment display to show some visual feedback using another serial chip, the I/O expander. Then we take a crack at making our sequencer play a scale!

3. Designing a Eurorack Sequencer - Part 3: Enter the Matrix

Continuing with the Super Sixteen, we build the sequencer's namesake sixteen-button grid, explore matrix wiring and multiplexing in combination, and construct our first working prototype that actually plays a sequence!

4. Designing Eurorack Sequencer Part 4: Making a PCB with KiCad 5.0

In this episode we get into some proper electronics design with KiCad and develop a new layout for a printed circuit board. Then we get to do the fun part and fabricate it at home using a toner transfer and ferric chloride etching.

5. Designing a Eurorack Sequencer - Part 5: Assembly

In this episode we assemble the first PCB prototype of the Super Sixteen with our trusty soldering iron and a spool of mod wire. After a few fried chips and more than a few repairs, it's time to wire it up to our synth and try out some actual sequencing!

6. Designing a Eurorack Sequencer - Part 6: Front Panel and External Sync

Or, "How to Make a Eurorack Front Panel: The Cheap Way"
In this episode we upgrade our module with a faceplate, and add some advanced features like external sync, pitch calibration, and glide/portamento.

7. Designing a Eurorack Sequencer part 7 - New PCBs, Motion Recording, Beat Repeat

In this episode, we assemble, inspect, debug, and reprogram our new dual-PCB stackup for the Super Sixteen eurorack CV sequencer. Not everything goes according to plan!

8. Designing A Eurorack Sequencer Part 8: New panel, Patch memory, Performance effects

In this installment we fabricate a new front panel for the Super Sixteen using the toner transfer process, and then take a spin with some of the new advanced features it sports, like patch memory, scale selection, swing timing, and a gang of performance rhythm effects.

Korg Monotron CV Input Mod (Eurorack Control Voltage hack)

Published on Sep 21, 2019 Extralife

"Hello friends! I'm back in California and back in action. First off the hop is a travel kit project to convert CV (control voltage) signals to Monotron-compatible pitch/gate signals. If you have a Monotron (the cheapest analog synth on then market) you can use it to add a complete synth voice to your eurorack system!

The schematics and PCB layout for this project are up on my github page:
https://github.com/matthewcieplak/mon...

This work is partially based on DINSync's 2010 monotron CV mod:
