Flux Mini 2 vs Flux Mini 1 | 100% Free AUv3 Apps | haQ attaQ

video upload by Jakob Haq

"Caelum Audio's Flux Mini 2 is great and just like it's predecessor, Flux Mini, this app is also completely free! Flux mini 2 is an auv3 audio effect that lets you modulate filter and amplitude to create filter sweeps and rhythmical gating effects. But wait, there's more! Flux mini 2 has support for MIDI out so that can be used for modulating external stuff like synthesizers, functions in DAWs and more. Check it out!

Offgrid Shuffle in Eurorack: LoFi Hiphop with Stolperbeats

video upload by Making Sound Machines

"Here's a modular lofi hiphop patch that came out so leftfield it was too fun not to share! It's built around #Stolperbeats and Befaco's fantastic Percall Quad Drum VCA, with Stolperbeats sequencing the shuffled gates and a wooden baseboard amplified and routed through our #TausenddB and #Multiplikand patched as a texture control.

Stolperbeats, 'beats tripping over themselves' in German, is our upcoming drum trigger sequencer designed to create shuffled beats influenced by artists like Flying Lotus, Hiatus Kaiyote and J Dilla. We really love those beats and used to reconstruct them for our tracks in the DAW, so we ended up digging deep into the techniques how real-life drummers like Questlove from The Roots or Perrin Moss from Hiatus Kaiyote play these shuffles.

This patch is almost a little hack as it uses Stolperbeats' clock outputs as a musical signal. Subdiv outputs the swung clock or a related set of tuplet subdivisions, perfect for syncing up cartesian sequencers like Make Noise Rene that advance one step per clock tick. Sync plays a straight unswung metronome ranging from once every four bars to 24 ppq, great for keeping a Delay or LFO in time.

Here, Stolperbeats' clock signals are patched to trigger Percall's VCA envelopes, shaping the sounds picked up from the board with piezo contact mics, and creating groove from the offset flams of the shuffled and straight clocks. Enrica is performing the drum rolls by changing the subdivisions on the fly. It's all held together by the lovely blips from Winterbloom 's Juno-inspired DCO Castor & Pollux on kick and a Patching Panda Hatz patch on snare duty.

We'll be showcasing this setup tonight at Muelheim Modular's lovely synth shop in Köln Mülheim. It's part of Mülheimer Nacht 2022 so if you're in Cologne, swing by and say hi! You will be able to try out the patches and modules hands-on. If you want to build our synth #DIY kits, we're hosting a workshop at Superbooth in Berlin, 13.05.2022, 17:00. If you are unable to make it to Berlin, kits are available at Muelheim Modular and Exploding Shed (EU), Thonk (UK) and dsp.coffee (US), or visit our website and mail us directly."

Ouroboros Alea Taction • Semi-Modular Analog Touch Synthesizer

video upload by Ouroboros Electronics

Pre-order at Nightlife Electronics. US distribution coming soon.

"Alea Taction is a new iteration of the classic Alea with the addition touch plates as well as a new aesthetic and enclosure. The touch plates open up another another dimension of gestural control and influence which the user has over the instrument - providing more potential for variation and playability within a patch, and a deeper, closer connection and involvement with the instrument. The touch plates can be patched to control the dynamics of each voice, bend and affect the pitch of the oscillators, affect the cross-modulate the voices, modulate the waveshapers of each voice, affect the shift-register, and so on, in any configuration you’d like to patch. The touch plates are equally useful for manually playing drones using only the touch plates as they are for adding dynamics and variation into a rhythmic techno patch. The touch plates do not function as a traditional keyboard controller or traditionally drum pad, but instead as a way to introduce organic and gestural interactions through variable control voltage to influence the overall ecosystem of the Alea. Now available.

Description:

Alea Taction is a two voice semi-modular analog synthesizer with sine wave oscillators, waveshapers, low pass gates, LFOs, a stochastic shift register-based sequencer, and three touch plates for gestural influence. These elements work together as a standalone patchable instrument that is capable of everything from generative melodies and morphing drones to psychoacoustic percussion, silky sub basslines, esoteric techno, tactile improvisations and much more. Sonically, the Alea is dark, smooth, warm, and natural sounding. The sine wave oscillators have CV and FM inputs paired with attenuators for each input as well as a two different voltage controllable waveshapers per oscillator which affect the timbre of the oscillators - one type of waveshaper which adds subtle harmonics to shape the sine into a soft triangle wave, and the other waveshaper folds and shapes the phase of the sine. The oscillators also have sine outputs for modulating each other, as well as a vactrol-based vca which is hardwired as a bi-directional modulation index that can be opened via cv or gate signals for timbral cross-modulation between the two oscillators. The oscillators can be used as completely separate voices, or together with one voice acting as a primary oscillator and the other as a modulation oscillator. The two voices also have individual outputs. Each voice has a vactrol low pass gate with two inputs per LPG - one regular gate input which will provide sustain for the duration of the gate or cv signal, and one input which coverts the gate to a trigger for faster percussive sounds with no sustain and only decay. The LPGs can also be patched so that they are held open to create drones, or patched for amplitude modulation via one of the oscillators or modulation sources. The LPGs can also be help open and dynamically controlled by the touch plates via the LPG gate input. The three gold-plated touch plates of the Alea generate variable control voltage signals which can be patched to control various aspects of the system such as the amplitude, pitch, modulation, and cross-modulation of the voices as well as the the pattern and tempo of the shift register. The touch plates do not function as a traditional keyboard controller or traditional touch controller, but instead as a way to introduce organic and gestural interactions to influence the ecosystem of the Alea. The amount of control voltage which is produced as they are touched depends on factors such as the amount of skin that contacts the plate, the amount of pressure used, the as well as factors such as the temperature of your fingers, etc. Because of a build up of body heat and perspiration, the more you touch the plates, the more responsive they become. The Alea has two LFOs - a LFO with triangle and square wave outputs as well as a VCLFO with a triangle output. The Alea's sequencer is based around a four-stage shift register which is clocked by the VCLFO and collects data from one of the oscillators for probabilistic pattern generation. The shift register can also be clocked from external clock signals from other instruments. The shift register cycles through it's four stages as it collects on/off data on each clock pulse and creates different arrays of outcomes as it cycles. Once the Alea has been patched and knobs have been set - the shift register will continue to cycle through patterns and generate different numeric combinations of it's stages in unity or in abscense like a roll of the dice or a song of the birds.

Each Alea Taction includes a 18v center negatice DC power adapter.
The Alea Taction is housed in a 15” x 9’ x 2” bamboo boat with a matte PCB front panel.
Patch cables and output cables not included."

UDO Super 6 Desktop with the Five12 Vector Sequencer

video upload by Nightlife Electronics

"In this two-part video document we wish to showcase the soothing and pleasant sounds of the magical UDO Super 6 Desktop Synthesizer, under control from the Five12 Vector Sequencer.

The Vector Sequencer is a perfect tool for creating evolving, syncopated and layered midi/cv melodies. It has a lot of really cool tricks that make live composition and improvisation very immediate and fun; things like conditional events, scales, algorithmic pattern generation just to name a few.

It's partner in crime in this video, the UDO Super 6 Desktop, is one of the best sounding modern era synthesizers you can put your hands on. It falls beautifully in that category of synth that oozes with inspiring sounds and fits great in any genre.

Both the Five12 Vector Sequencer and the UDO Super 6 Desktop are available at Nightlife Electronics:

Touch capacitive controls? Thought this was interesting as there are no buttons on it.

The PSS-130 came out in 1987 according to Wikipedia.
