AMBIENT MatrixBrute - PEAK - JU-06A - Sequential REV2

Published on Mar 22, 2020 Alba Ecstasy

"NEW Roland JU-06 #patches: https://www.albaecstasy.ro/roland-ju-...
The Arturia MatrixBrute and the Prophet REV2 are awakening in me the spirit of the 70's!

The fact that #MatrixBrute and also REV2 are not keeping their tempo really accurate (and the fact that I sync them manually, not interconnected), in time this is going to produce a nice little rhythmic mess, and it's like producing some early Berlin School tracks.

The Sequential Prophet REV is running two separate sequences ( split mode) and the MatrixBrute is running on the Duo Split mode.

Hope you'll enjoy this track as much as I enjoyed performing it!

The (R)evolution of Multicassa

Pictured: three iterations of the Multicassa in via leploop. The Multicassa is inspired from the Trautonium. You can find additional details here.

"The Multicassa is a full analog electronic instrument composed of tree Cassa (bass drum) generators controlled by an analog Trautonium like rhythms generator, without a microprocessor, available in desktop and euro rack format.

The term Trautonico is inspired by a vintage instrument, the Mixturtrautonium, invented by Oskar Sala musician, a student of Hindemith, which elaborate it, since the 30s on the basis of another instrument more simple, the Heimtrautonium, manufactured by Telefunken in the '20s, one of the first electronic instruments for the living room.

Early versions of Mixturtrautonium use as frequency dividers the Thyratron(a type of gas valve that could be used to build oscillators and frequency dividers), these dividers acting on the notes producing subharmonic that could be mixed (hence MIXTUR) for produce complex sounds, the same principle is used here with two differences:
- The valves are replaced by solid-state trigger circuits.

- Dividers act not to the notes but on the rhythms, by dividing a basic rhythm (clock) for a variable number (with the command Clock Divider) rhythms are then mixed 2 by 2 (Trig Mix) generating a complex poly rhythms.
- An output mixer allows you to adjust the volume of each speaker.

Each Cassa has a pitch, resonance and distortion control, the tree Cassa generators have different pitch range:
1_Low(Cassa), 2_Medium(Bongo\Tom), 3_High(rim shot\wood block).
The high channel can produce some scratch noise when you move the frequency pot, because the circuit design and the very high pitch, this is normal.
The clock can be generated internally or applied externally through jack on the left side of the unit.
The Multicassa accepts any type of clock pulse or square wave of 3-12 volts amplitude, with any polarity including the Midi clock, as long as the midi line is present only midi clock and no other messages (notes, control changes, sysex, etc.) ."

Exploring Elmyra - a DIY drone synthesizer

Published on Mar 22, 2020 nyppy

"A walkthrough of Elmyra's features. You can easily build this synth yourself, see here: https://neutral-labs.com/elmyra/

If you're interested in a panel + PCB set or a build, let me know.

This is obviously inspired by the Soma Lyra-8, which I love, but it's not a clone at all.

Reverb provided by Eventide Space. In parts of the video you can hear the raw Elmyra output (as indicated by captions).

Korg ARP 2600FS Goes Surface Mount

Compare the pics of the inside to an original ARP 2600 here.

This one is in via effegee:

"Patrick Jöricke (AKA DSLman) opened up his new Korg ARP 2600 FS to see what’s inside and its featured in an article on Amazona.de

It’s answers the question, “Are the circuit components thru-hole (like the original) or surface-mount?” The answer, with photographic proof, is: surface-mount.

Patrick, who is the leading authority on building and modding the TTSH (he’s built 60 of them and repaired 20), says in the comments below the article that the Korg 2600 is worth the 4000€ asking price, considering all of the labor and assembly.

Here are his comments, German—> English in google translate:

[quote]
If you first consider the following points:
material costs
Labor costs
Prototyping costs / development
Profit
Taxes
transport
Risk premium
Aftersales / support / manuals / firmware etc.

Then you take into account the two hand-made housings in terms of wages and materials, which you can't get really cheap even on CNC wood milling machines, not even in Asia.
The pcbs cost almost nothing, nor do the SMT components. (Approx. 100 € for everything)
It only gets “expensive” with the sockets and sliders.
The panel does not cost the world either (20-50 €).
What takes several hours is putting it together.
The roadcase probably costs another 100 € (presumably through external)
All in all, that fits with € 4,000.
We also want them to benefit and are willing to continue building more of them.

LifeFormModular 1.1

Published on Mar 22, 2020 Time_Controlled_Organism

"LifeFormModular Update 1.1

New :

-Driftgen : CV Utility
Will make your signal subtly drift. Useful to detune oscillators for example.
Made by using a sample and hold against noise, slewing the result and adding it to the original signal by small amount.
You can vary the rate of the sample and hold, which will inversely act on the slew time. You can also vary the amount of "shaking"signal to be added to the source via the depth knob.
works only when input is connected!

-ComplexOsc :
Made with two sine oscillators with phase distorsion (in two dimensions, x and y mod.).
You can FM the carrier by the modulator. You can mix the two oscs.
At the end of the chain there's a clipper that will turn the signal into a square.
You can send independant CVs for carrier and modulator
There are outputs for the indivual oscs, try self patching for wild sounds.

Just sent the source, should be available soon in plugin manager , hoping everything works, thanks!"

Stick Shift - OutRun Synthwave Italo Disco Stuff - Yamaha Cs2x Only

Published on Mar 22, 2020 ChrisLody

"In the spirit of trying something different, here's a genre I've never tried before, Outrun. I mean I've made Synthwave before but not this specific sub genre. Had a blast actaully!

My chosen weapon for this task is the pretty underrated Yamaha Cs2x. It was made entirely using this keyboard with no other external effects other than a bit of eq and a bit of lazy mastering, ie turning it up a bit.

The first track is a preset I built for the occasion containing drums and the chugging bass line running on 4 separate bits of midi and 4 different layers on the Cs2x. This runs through it's built in compressor. The other layers were recorded by hand and are just presets with a little tweaking. That's it."
