Making Sound Machines Coming to Dutch Modular Fest

Dreamy Shuffle, Lush Pads: Stolperbeats and Digitone
video upload by Making Sound Machines

"We're off to Berlin - excited to be hosting a workshop at Schneidersladen, tonight at 7:30 pm.

We will be playing a short modular live set, spill the beans on our setup and share our deepest and darkest secrets about deliciously bad timing in #Eurorack. You're invited to swing by, and we look forward to hanging out and chatting afterwards. You will have to sign up via mail - info@schneidersladen.de

We recorded this dreamy little sketch during the search for our live set - a very simple setup using the Elektron Digitone as a sound module for its lush synth pads and slick drum tones, sequenced and shuffled by our #Stolperbeats drum trigger sequencer via MIDI notes. The module in turn receives MIDI from the super portable OMX27 keyboard by Denki Oto (with backlit linear Cherry keys - love it!)

Stolperbeats, roughly translating to 'beats tripping over themselves', is our drum trigger sequencer designed to create shuffled beats influenced by the gritty push-and-pull grooves from the golden age of Hiphop. We've always been fascinated by taking our beats offgrid to give them more fluidity and life. This module allows you to easily dial in and seamlessly switch between all the shuffle, feeling and groove we would, in the past, painstakingly nudge together in a DAW.

Stolperbeats is used here in its 'MIDI Rec' mode, originally envisioned as a quick way to map pitch, channel and velocity from drum machines onto the modules instrument channels by matching the selected instrument to the incoming MIDI data. Turns out this is really fun to use as a transpose with an external keyboard to provide shuffled melodies to the Elektron #Digitone.

If you are in the Netherlands, come see us at Dutch Modular Fest 2022 in Utrecht on Saturday Sept 3rd - we'll have a booth there next to the lovely This is Not Rocket Science (TiNRS) and Vaski, who will both show amazing new stuff."

Delorean Dream TWO - Novation Circuit Tracks Pack by Yves Big City

video upload by Isotonik Studios

"1985. You are sitting in you car and the thunder is coming... The need for those 88 mph is coming and you start hearing something loud and slow cutting from your speakers:

«It's the Novation engine pushed to the edge. »

Wait.Are you saying that you built a time machine...out of a Novation Circuit?

It's more than an 80's time machine and you guys aren't ready for that yet.But your kids are gonna love it!

« Cheap sounds? Where we're going, we don't need cheap sounds.»

The patches have been upgraded month after month to get closer and closer to the famous Roland Juno series sound that was born in 1982.

By carefully reverse engineering the structure of this classic and emblematic synthesizer, we created an entirely new DNA for modern production upgraded for the nova sound architecture.

'Because it goes beyond the quest for the classic analog Juno sound.'

Explore vintage and complex modern pads, dusty analog basses, live guitar and wild percussions and head straight back to nostalgic days and long hot nights.

At a glance :

Instant inspiration at your fingertip with 128 patches containing: dusty analog bass, blissful chords, retro keys, and leads for a warm and meaty sound character.
64 drums lovingly handcrafted and processed on Studer tape A800 for a punchy flavor.
16 sessions to unleash your creativity from old school to new school. (Special thanks to Claas Falldorf & Davide Di Giovanni)
Midi pack chord progressions designed specifically for synthwave & vaporwave : You will never run out of ideas. Compatible with the OG Circuit edition and the Novation Circuit Tracks
