Erica Synths Matrix Mixer - Review


video upload by Molten Music Technology

"This is a review and exploration of the Matrix Mixer desktop digital modulation and routing matrix that's taken from the Syntrx and plumbed into your entire modular system.

I forgot to mention MIDI - you can use program change messages to select patterns, which is nice!

Erica Synths sent me the Matrix Mixer to do this video but has no influence over the content.

Erica Synths Matrix Mixer controlling a modular jam

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"The Matrix Mixer routes and connects modulations and mixes audio signals in a fluid and memorable way. It then lets you switch between saved configurations to vary and transform your patch. Hopefully, this jam demonstrates a bit of this."

Knobula Poly Cinematic - first play


video upload by Molten Music Technology

"Only scratching the surface of this amazing polyphonic module from Knobula. The Poly Cinematic is a very cool polysynth wrapped up in a compact Eurorack module. Much more to come! This was literally my first, pre-manual reading, mess about and I already love it!

This is a pre-production module sent to me by Knobula."

Update:

Knobula Poly Cinematic not quite review




"Introducing Poly Cinematic. The powerful compact synthesiser that brings big synth polyphony to Eurorack. It's simple to use with a dedicated knob or switch for each parameter, giving you immediate access to all the controls that really matter in the world of polyphonic pads and stabs. No presets, no menus, just a good honest tactile experience that puts pure sound synthesis at your fingertips.

Poly Cinematic can be played via midi as well monophonically over CV/Gate. As a monophonic module it can play one of 8 chord stacks, selectable using CV control, so it is as much a 56 oscillator mono synth as it is a luscious poly synth.

Here is a list of main features:
7 oscillator supersaw per voice
3 oscillator syncable wave shaped square/pulse
3 oscillator detuned tonewheel organ
8 chord memory controlled by cv/gate
Detune control with unison/5th/sub octave sweet spots
3 filter types: lowpass, notch and highpass
Built in high quality reverb"

Spectral Shiatsu Max For Live - touching your way through the spectrum


video upload by Sensel

"This unique Max for Live device relies on your touches and their pressure on the Morph to reveal the different frequencies of a sound from different times of a sound recording. Rather than using different buttons to create notes, each contact on the Sensel Morph reveals parts of a sound's frequency spectrum, playing short loops. These are some examples of different sounds and effects that can be achieved with this instrument." Tangible Frequencies with Spectral Shiatsu Max for Live: Overview and Tutorial
