Further Explorations with the Buchla Music Easel // Part Six

video upload by Genshi Media Group"

"::| TO HEAR THE FULL RANGE OF FREQUENCIES AND STEREO EFFECTS, A GOOD PAIR OF HEADPHONES IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED |::

Part Six of a series of short, exploratory videos to get reacquainted with my Buchla Music Easel which I’ve neglected these past couple of years. This is a simple straight-ahead tune that could be expanded into a song with beats and other instruments. I may do that at some point... Effects from the Empress Effects EchoSystem."

Befaco & Rebel Technology Introduce the AC/DC Open Source Audio Interface Eurorack Module

via Befaco

"AC/DC is an open source (and DIY friendly!) DC coupled 4x4 channels audio interface. The module is based in the new Rebel tech hardware platform (codename Xibeca) that provides 4 channels in and out at 16 bit 48Khz. USB audio interface.

This beauty is packed in 6 HPs and has only 40 mm depth, so its just PERFECT for performance and travel rigs.

Of course, it also provides compatibility with the OWL platform to expand the module functionalities if the user wants to nerd out (like in our previous collab Lich)!

This module is in production and will be released the 3rd of June. So you can place your orders from now!! (or during superbooth after testing it)

AC/DC will sell at 300€+TAX (~360€) for the assembled module and 170€+TAX (~210€) for the Kit."

See the dealers on the right for availability.

DoveAudio MuSeq Ratchet Demo

video upload by DoveAudio

"Quick demo of the ratchet feature on MuSeq, This is my attempt to recreate the sequence from Tangerine Dreams Burning bar from the Thief album.
4 patterns play, one regular, 1 with a double ratchet, with with a triple ratchet and one with two triple ratchets. Watch the displays on steps 3 and 6 when it's on Channel A and you'll see the gate change from "M" for medium to "2" or "3" for the number of gates on that step. I also use the second channel to bump up the filter cut off a little on those steps.
This also shows the bank play function."

Oberheim OB-X8 Preset Demos

video upload by james terris

"I'm always reluctant to post something in prototype form. When I had this unit it was sonically pretty close. Obvious at a glance are the knobs and 3D printed bender box levers. The synth itself sounds great and such a dream to play with a nice modern key bed."

See the OB-X8 announcement post here for additional demos and details.
