21- The Arturia PolyBrute- Morphée Part A

AutomaticGainsay

'Here is part one of a two-part demonstration of the Morphée 3-D touch controller present on the Arturia PolyBrute.

The theme for this demonstration was recorded by multitracking the Arturia PolyBrute in order to provide the various parts necessary. The drums were assembled out of loops from Apple’s GarageBand."

It's Enough // OP-Z ambience with Valhalla Supermassive

Payton Carter

"Get my Circuit pack for free/pay-what-you-want: https://gumroad.com/l/MIDqA

Here's a little track with just the Teenage Engineering OP-Z running through the amazing free effects VST from Valhalla DSP, Supermassive. All dry synth sounds are coming from the OP-Z. I copied the audio in Reaper on four different tracks, each with a different Supermassive preset. I then did some automation of the Supermassive wet/dry level and track levels. There's also processing with Ozone Elements. I accidentally had the gain on my audio interface set super low, so apologies for the noise; let's just call it lo-fi."

Aqueducts

MAKEN0ISE

"One of the great things about a modular synth is sending your sound through effects modules to add more depth and texture to the proceedings. It’s also very easy to just sort of let the effect be part of the patch 100% of the time. But patch programmability means we don’t have to do that - we can use the signal paths almost like a gated aqueduct system to send bits of sound through the effects only at the times when we want to.

1010 Music Bluebox Performance Mixer / Recorder

Perfect Circuit

"We are giving away a 1010 Music Bluebox on Instagram! See how to enter here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ_uWJWgG...

The 1010 Music Bluebox is a tiny mixer with 12 inputs for either 6 stereo tracks or 12 mono tracks. It can be controlled by its touch screen or with midi. You can also save mixer setups as presets and load them. There are lots of useful features like track naming and built in EQ, compression, delay and reverb.

The Bluebox can also record and playback tracks and stems for mixing later in a DAW or doing playback during a performance. It can accept eurorack level signals as well as line level instruments. The Bluebox comes in the same compact and sturdy metal enclosure that the 1010 Music Blackbox is in.

Sound Semiconductor Announces New SSI2131 VCO

New chip derived from Sound Semiconductor's previously announced SSI2130 to provide only the core VCO function for lower cost and easier use.

The press realese:

SOUND SEMICONDUCTOR EXPANDS VCO CHIP FAMILY

Provides Core VCO Function for Ease of Use and Low Cost

January 13, 2021 – Sonora, California – Sound Semiconductor today announced an addition to its family of Voltage Controlled Oscillator (“VCO”) integrated circuits.

The SSI2131 offers basic VCO functionality with buffered triangle, sawtooth, and variable-width pulse outputs. Like the previously introduced SSI2130 VCO, special care was taken to provide unprecedented levels of temperature stability, exponentiality, and waveform integrity but in this case the on-chip mixer, sine shaper, and through-zero components were omitted. The result is a modern, high-performance basic VCO that is extremely easy to use.

Offered in a 16-pin small-outline DIP package, only a handful of external components are necessary. Like the SSI2130, exponential setup is easily accomplished by use of fixed-value resistors for less demanding applications, and manual or CPU calibrated for exponential conformance to one cent over a ten-octave range. Both soft and hard sync are available. Pricing is $1.40 at 1k pieces, with samples available now to qualified OEM’s. Production stock will be available by late February; at that time hobby and DIY enthusiasts will be served through Sound Semiconductor’s growing network of authorized resellers.

"Ever since building my first synthesizer in college I’ve been imagining this VCO project,” stated Derek Bowers, designer of the SSI2130 and SSI2131. "I’m really happy with results of these developments."

Sound Semiconductor is composed of musicians and technologists with the goal of developing affordable, high- performance integrated circuits for music creation. For more information, please visit www.soundsemiconductor.com."
