"This is our long due Eurorack Clock module, featuring multiple sections for a combined total of 8 independent trigger outputs.
Introducing standard time signature musical notation along with the possibility to generate syncopation, irregular tempo ratios and phasing all at once in a single straight forward unit.
We started by programming an extremely stable digital clock with over time drift compensation and adjustable to any Beat per Minute [BPM] up to 1 decimal case (from 0.1 to 250.0 BPM). Also implemented a Tap Tempo button and Pingable input for syncing to external clocks using either Soft or Hard [SYNC] modes.
The Time Signature X/Y section defined as [Beats Per Bar] / [Beat Unit] and generating 4 outputs triggering at every: Beat, Bar, Odd Beat (1,3,5...) and Even Beat (2,4,6...).
A [PAUSE] button sets the Pause/Resume state of the clock also allowing different sync methods on Resume.
A [RESET] button resets either each or both the Main and Phasing Clocks
A Divider section can be set to any beat division in Linear (3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) or Exponential mode (1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128)
The Phasing section features a totally independent clock that can run in two modes: [TEMPO] running at a slower/faster bpm phasing in and out of tempo against the main clock. [OFFSET] running at the same bpm but offsetted/delayed against the main clock generating a steady syncopated beat.
A Tuplet section allows the generation of Triplets, Quintuplets, Septuplets and Ninelets with adjustable [LENGTH] or Span of the tuplet to any number of Beats from 1 to 16.
4 Modes allow different [TRIGGER] and [MUTE] functionalities: they can run in a loop or one shot mode, [TRIGGER] always triggers/resets the Tuplet and [MUTE] can be set to Gate On or Gate Off. Tuplets always output irregular divisions of the Beat and allow Polybeat generation.
A Swing Delay section allow to delay 1 Beat at [Every X Beats]. The [Delay] knob sets the delay in a fraction of 1 Beat, this section also allows the generation of syncopated beats.
More specific settings can be changed in the [SHOW/MENU], menu functions are labeled in gold.
All sections feature they’re own monitor LEDs.
By default Display shows the current Time Signature status. Pressing the [SHOW/MENU] button sequentially will display each sections settings. After 3 seconds it automatically returns to default Time Signature status.
All settings can be saved to a single memory slot, upon startup the memory state will be automatically loaded.
All Knobs and Push-Buttons have their own CV/Trigger inputs except the [BPM] encoder and [SHOW/MENU] button."
"It's nothing really new, people have made these for themselves in the past, some companies have made short runs of medium sized ones, and Synthesizers.com has a couple large ones they currently sell, but I can't mention the company who made this one or any details about it, at least for now.
The eurorack module in the 5U mount is a micro Braids built by tall-dog.com which is an 8 hp version of the original Braids by Mutable Instruments. I reviewed this system in my first breakdown video which you can watch to learn the details: [posted here] As it is now it's "old school analog" on top and "new school digital" on the bottom! ;-)"
"Live noiz session using four Leploops.
Two are V2 and the others are V3 editions.
Other noiz support from a 1010Music BlueBox controlled with a FaderFox PC12.
Additional noiz warping via Bastle THYME, Alter.Audio TimeTosser, Boss MD-500, Enjoy Electronics Reminder.
"Fred is considered to be one of the nicest people in Eurorack, though to be honest pretty much everyone is cool. He was showing his new Manatee synthesizer - a 3-part 9-voice multi-timbral Synthesizer that uses a Spectral Engine powered by DSP.
The new engine is inspired by digital classic instruments but is still in development and will be crowd-sourced as soon as possible with a target price of €600
"Two legends of British electronic music and pop together for a short improvised set at Superbooth on the Beach Stage - which had a banging sound system.
Daniel Miller - head of Mute Records with old friend Gareth Jones - engineer and production on so many great tracks and albums were setting up for their new musical project Sunroof.
We spoke about their approach to the the music they are making together and the gear they are using.
Still working on that first release Sunroof will be available on Mute, well, when they finish it,
Blend control 9 with 9 programmable memory patches. Vocoder filter bands: 8-256; Gender Bender for female and male voices; Reflex Tune for articulate Vocal pitch correction; 3 robotic voices und single, major und minor drones all with pitch control; Transposition for pitch shifting and a lot more
RetroSound synthesizer demo videos since january 2007.
Everything is free. If you like my work, you can also support me with the purchase of my merchandise (shirts, bags, mugs, stickers) Thank you!"
this might just be the shortest Eurorack ambient video here on YouTube.
a combination of textures from the mutable Instruments beads, the make noise morphagene and the instruo arbhar with rings playing a melodic line in a lower register
just like a dream that appears out of nowhere and then disappears just as vaguely, this piece is an abbreviation of a longer piece that i can't remember having either a tangible beginning or a decisive end
