Sculpting Time with a Modular Synth

Published on Apr 22, 2020 MAKEN0ISE

"When we use a powerful and open-ended tool like a modular synthesizer, we have the option of doing everything all at once all the time. And it’s really easy to do it. Keep patching and patching, adding more and more, and you end up with a big beautiful mess! and that can be great. But we also have the option of bringing things in and out, increasing and decreasing density, changing ranges. Sculpting a block of time into something with more character and nuance."

Shakmat Announces 2 New Modules for Superbooth 20 Home Edition

via Shakmat:

"For this Superbooth 20 home edition, the Belgian eurorack manufacturer announces two new modules joining their catalog : the Bard Quartet, a programmable four channels quantizer, and the Dual Dagger, a compact high pass and low pass stereo filter."

The Bard Quartet

This module is an easily adjustable four channel quantizer thanks to its intuitive keyboard and simple user interface. Scale, octave shift and I/O assignation is quickly and independently editable per channel. The harmony feature lets you store and recall (with the knob and through CV) the 4 channel’s settings, making progressive harmonies, chord creation or any evolutive harmonic arrangement an easy peasy task. The module has a non volatile memory containing 80 harmonic configurations. As we all know, playing in tune is cool but controlable detuned harmony is way cooler, that's why the Bard Quartet features a micro tuning function, where each note of each channel is detunable independently!

The Dual Dagger

This module is a double sided weapon, sharpened to cut low and high frequencies. The Dual Dagger chops stereo spectrums with familiar and appropriate controls for the low pass and the high pass filter section. The Band Pass function turns the dual filter into a band pass filter, with control over frequency, bandwidth and independent resonance for each slope! The module is carefully calibrated to share the exact same parameters on both audio channels but thanks to the pan function, it is easy to unlink the cutoff frequencies of each side, which leads to a whole new territory of stereo treatments!

A Chilean synth ad. I think this is a first for the site. Looks like the TV commercial is from Audiomusica.

The end reads:

AUDIOMUSICA

Which translates to:

AUDIOMUSIC

Mario Blooper Meets Chase Bliss Audio Blooper

Published on Apr 22, 2020 GLASYS

"Messing around with the underwater theme from Super Mario Bros using the latest pedal from Chase Bliss Audio - Blooper. Blooper is a looper pedal unlike any other one I've seen, there are so many fun ways to modulate and mangle your loops.

I got this idea because I've been playing some Mario recently and the first thing that popped into my head when I got this pedal is those little squid creatures called Bloopers.

Gear used (other than blooper) - Sequential Prophet XL, Studio Electronics Boomstar 4075

"Multitracked Prophet 08 -demo. As usual played straight without metronome or quantization. Reverb and delay used, so this is no raw Prophet-demo. Check The Musical Synthesizer -channel for the best Prophet-demos and music."

Korg NTS-1 Only - Cinematic Drone Music Choir

Published on Apr 22, 2020 ChrisLody

"If any more proof were needed how perfect the Korg NTS-1 is for me a new toy, it makes effortless cinematic drone music. Perfect.

This is a stock NTS-1 with no custom code installed and i'm not even using midi just to show off :) I've cranked up the Riser reverb (which seems to be a reverb and exciter or pitch shift combined) and the Ensemble modulation effect and I'm using a mix of the VPM oscillator (read FM oscillator) the Triangle wave and the Waves oscillator. It's sounds so much like a male voice choir at times its spooky.

If you need to learn how to use the Waves oscillator, see this video I made:" [posted here]
