FALLEN BLACK TREE: Outdoor jam on Elektron Analog Four mk2 - abridged, distorted EDM industrial acid

Published on Jan 29, 2020 Gary P Hayes

"Dirty distorted Analog 4 mk2 - This actually started as a long ambient piece (similar to the end) but because of the heat, couldn't really see the screen, ants starting to crawl over the A4 and last minute noticed levels were too high on the Zoom H6, I decided to just do a non-characteristic, 4 to the floor, industrial sounding, distorted acidy style jam. Normal service will be resumed next upload!

New Eurorack Modules from Bubblesound Instruments

Four new modules from bubblesound:

The HEXa(s)r envelope generator,
HEXvca (6 VCA module),
Booster Stage amplifier,
and Reducer de-amplifier.

Details follow for each. Bubblesound modules are available at Control, Perfect Circuit Audio, Signal Sounds, and other dealers listed on their website.

HEXa(s)r

The HEXa(s)r is a 9HP module with 6 independent AR/ASR envelope generators and 3 mixer sections for a total of 9 outputs, giving users a huge amount of modulation options with a very small footprint making this the most versatile and flexible envelope generator in the eurorack world. Plus it’s skiff friendly and light on power consumption.

Each envelope generator has a gate input and can either be an Attack/Release or Attack/Sustain/Release. In AR mode the incoming gate is turned into a trigger giving you a simple Attack and Release, perfect for drum synthesis and simple modulation or control over VCAs. In ASR mode the length of the Sustain is controlled by the length of the gate. This makes using an LFO’s modulated Pulse Width output or a sequencer with variable gate length perfect for creating envelopes with changing sustain times, breathing life and variation to whatever the HEXa(s)r is modulating. The LEDs are tied to the output to give users visual feedback on each EG.

The HEXa(s)r can use gates (0-8/10V) or a +-5V to trigger the envelopes. It can accept trigger inputs as well, but when using a trigger in ASR mode there will be almost no sustain as the duration of triggers is very short, usually around 5-10 milliseconds.

The Gates in of the HEXa(s)r are normalized so one gate into EG1 will trigger all 6 envelopes. Each envelope generator can then be set to either AR or ASR mode. OIr you can use the output of one EG to trigger another EG. This can be used to make a type of gate delay for individual outputs or complex rhythm or modulation effects from the Mix output section.

The Mixer section has 3 parts, EG 1-3, 4-6 and All. By using multiple gates and triggering some EGs from other EGs the mix out section can create some unexpected modulation options or very controlled rhythmic outputs. It all depends on what you put into it.

There is a header on the back and included 6 pin ribbon cable that will allow the HEXa(s)r to connect with the upcoming HEXvca without using patch cables.

Details:
6 independent EGs. Attack and Release times are around 4 seconds each
Normalized Gates
30MM deep, single PCB skiff friendly design
Output Level: 0-10V
Interconnectable via supplied ribbon cable to the HEXvca
Power Consumption: 50mA positive, 40mA negative
9HP

Sequential Pro 3 (Lorenz Rhode synth demos)

"Sound design for the upcoming @Sequential_llc Pro 3 synth! For the fourth time the team at Dave Smith Instruments / Sequential was so kind to let me get my hands on one of their prototypes and contribute some presets. The other machines being OB-6, Rev-2 and Prophet-X. One thing that's cool is that each preset *must* include a sequence - I always end up with a ton of little song sketches :)

So, here's a quick recording of the patches/sequences - a few are just variations, some a bit raw, but I hope you like."
