Moog Introduces Subsequent Family SR Series Cases & Dust Covers

via Moog Music

"Now Available: Subsequent Family SR Series Cases & Dust Covers

Our newest SR Series Cases and dust covers are designed specifically to protect Subsequent 37, Sub 37, Subsequent 37 CV, Subsequent 25, and Sub Phatty, made with high-quality materials and features customized for these instruments.

Protective coverings are essential for keeping your synth safe when not in use—whether you're home, in the studio, or on the road.

Developed by our in-house Product and Design teams, each SR Series Case features generous padding around a semi-rigid A.B.S. shell, a rugged Ballistic Cordura outer that resists tears and abrasions, and laminated water-resistant zippers to offer on-the-go protection and safe storage for your instrument. Each water-repellant dust cover is made to safeguard gear from dust, spills, and other studio (and stage) mishaps, while the ultra-soft interior remains gentle against your instrument.

These items are now available to order directly on our website or through your favorite authorized Moog dealer!"

CASPERxBASTL - AIKIDO

video upload by Bastl Instruments

"Aikido: the Japanese martial art of nonviolent self-defense, of redirecting your opponent’s momentum and using it against them, and mixing VCA signals for creative and nuanced performance with Eurorack modular synths.

Bastl Instruments have been hard at work in the dojo with our favorite sparring partner, Casper Electronics, and now emerge with a new Eurorack module demonstrating our newly developed techniques in the ancient art of the Voltage-Controlled Amplifier: Aikido is a 4-channel performative VCA mixer with flexible submix routing and two styles of integrated envelope followers — and, natural element, a whole heap more…

The Way of the Single Palm

Neatly compact, Aikido is a perfect tool for single-hand operation: independently mute each channel using stealthy, clickless mutes, and flex your sound using a single finger to control crossfader action, smoothly adjusting signal input strengths up to +6dB volume gain.

A holistic discipline, students of Bastl Aikido will develop their mix prowess by mastering the pulse of CV, via premium attenuverters on the CV input channels; stealthily adjust the strength of the CV's parameter automation in true (positive) or inverted (negative) directions, allowing for deceptively simple or richly complex variations in sound, controlling all by a gentle twist of the wrist.

Dynamic Style: the Art of Compression

Grappling with both audio and VCA signals is simple even for beginners with Aikido: take your skills to the next degree with Aikido's dual spectral analysis and envelope-following techniques!

The envelope follower found in other Bastl/Casper modules, such as the Ikarie dual-peak filter, makes a repeat appearance, allowing you to route audio signals into the chain to affect overall output volume and strength, or take the internal audio's envelope and patch it out to impact the behavior of your other modules.

Spectral Processing joins the fray, allowing you to take a magnifying glass to the high, mid, or low frequencies in your mix. Flick between frequency isolation for enhancement, de-essing, compression, even parallel side-chaining audio (can we get a "hai—ya"!?) that ascends Aikido well above the typical territory of Eurorack mixers.

No-one Fights Alone

Need more than 4 channels of this wizardry? Stack two Aikido modules together with jumper cables to bring the total to 8 channels. Or, take the mix output of Aikido and patch it through to your Bastl Buddy with the same jumper wires, opening up possibilities of parallel processing and much more. Switches on the back of the module allow users to customize the mute functionality between Pre- or Post- VCA settings.

Where would we all be without feedback play? Self-patch Aikido's outputs back into the inputs to get that BVVRRR goodness, or take advantage of the cascading internal routing to play with the mixed audio signals, layering and bulking your sound, or direct specific channels to FX units.

Discipline in training brings rewards, and the strength of the alliance between Bastl & Casper has yielded some of our best playability techniques to date. Aikido - your one-stop control shop for Eurorack in just 11hp."

From the Noise Engineering blog: Introducing Quantus Trajecta

video upload by Noise Engineering

"We designed the Quantus Trajecta with a few different envelope styles. There’s a traditional ADSR, which is curved exponentially to sound extra nice when controlling VCAs.

Of course, we didn’t stop there. First, there’s a unique attack/decay envelope, which takes inspiration from our Percido voices and has adjustable envelope curving per stage. Lastly, we have the Trem shape, which is an ASR envelope with a built-in LFO, perfect for creating warbly tremolo-y tones that evolve over time.

Akai S900 real time filter cut-off with the mod wheel | It's quite possible

video upload by Espen Kraft

"This headline might seem trivial to anyone not familiar with the Akai S900, but as the sampler has no MIDI sysex capabilities, nor MIDI CC capabilities, for real time parameter control (except MIDI CC#01for the mod wheel), being able to do this is no small thing. And it's the Mod wheel and CC#01 we're interested in here.

By using the MIDI Solutions "Velocity Converter" box we can use the S900's ability to control the filter over MIDI velocity, but instead of using the keys harder or softer, we tie the mod wheel and CC#01, to velocity instead, thus we can use the mod wheel to set the filter cutoff.

Buchla style Modular Synth & Vocals: First time back for 2023 on the Shrimp Sundae Raid Train

video upload by The Galaxy Electric

"Started with a little beat action and then went into a wormhole of a wash. In play is a combo of Buchla style modular synthesizer, Nord Modular G1, Squarp Pyramid, Elektron Octatrack, and tape loops! Jacqueline is rocking the mic as well as a pair of Boss RE-20 space echoes and a Pigtronix Infinity Looper. What a range of emotions we explored throughout this experience. Enjoy the voyage."

Simple ADSR Envelope (Not the Fastest Envelope On the West)

video upload by KellerDev

"I started this project with the intend to modify a schematic from Moritz Klein to have Release CV. Than I discovered I can extend what I was doing to make it have distinct Decay also, and not control the Decay with the Release Control like the Original. I also made a couple more changes to the schematic, including an option for Release accent trigger."
