Liquid resonating bassline with Banshee Reach and Jeweler Cast

video upload by Shakmat

"Our brand new Banshee Reach and Jeweler Cast like to play together.
Today they teamed up with Triple Steeple and Mod Medusa for modulation duties in order to create a lovely liquid resonating bassline"

TAPES is a sampler that simulates LOOP TAPE. Adds a challenging essence to regular music as well as experimental music like Music Concrete and Vaper Wave. The input sound is transformed into a lo-fi sound, recorded on virtual tape, and then output. By stopping the recording, the sound can be looped, and by freely controlling the tape length, playback speed, and the part to be used, you can create everything from mysterious sounds to violent noises. increase.

lo-fi effects

Input sound is recorded on tape through REC HEAD and then output through PLAY HEAD. The output sound is output after a short time from the input. This time is determined by the tape playback speed (SPEED) and tape length (END-START length). You can get faster response by shortening the interval between START and END. The output sound quality varies greatly depending on the tape playback speed (SPEED). Rotating the tape faster results in a higher resolution, while rotating the tape slower results in a coarser resolution. When turned slowly, high notes tend to become rough, so the LPF (TONE knob) can be used to alleviate this.

Loop function (sampling)

Pressing the REC button will cause TAPES to always write to the tape, but pressing the LOOP switch will stop writing and loop (sample) the sound. You can also save the contents of the tape by pressing and holding the LOOP button. Writing and playback are performed for the section set with the START knob and END knob. By taking advantage of this feature, you can combine multiple sounds in order to create a new loop.

Record longer loop times

The loop time is determined by the tape playback speed (SPEED) and tape length (END-START length). If you want to sample the sound for a longer time, set SPEED to a slower speed, START to the far left, and END to the far right to sample a longer time.

NATURAL STATE

16HP Dual Enveloped Ducking Filter Natural State consists of two 24b filters with a CV decay envelope and an internal LFO. It is designed to filter two waveforms in the most

ear-friendly way possible to create natural and organic sounding grooves and soundscapes. Each of the two channels has a DECAY slider that adjusts the decay length, an OPEN slider that adjusts the filter cutoff, and a FORCE slider

that adjusts the amount of decay CV that affects the filter. The STRIKE input takes any CV from + 1 volt and triggers the decay envelope. Both the decay and the filter cutoff can be controlled via the CV inputs DECAY and CTRL. Attenuators can be used to change the strength

of the applied CV. The decay attenuator also acts as a DECAY CV offset. A subtle internal LFO can be routed to the filter cutoff, which is attenuated with the CTRL controls. The LFO range is rather slow to create

smooth filter sweeps.

The resonance of the individual filters can be changed with the PEAK potentiometers. When the DUCK control is turned to the right, the decay of the left channel increasingly suppresses the signal of the right channel, creating

a ducking effect.

Both decay envelopes are also routed to the ENV sockets for further external processing.

Zerosum Inertia - TVM23

video upload by NOISEBUG

"Brian @ Zerosum Inertia has really outdone himself this time. We will start calling him the Duke of Distortion around here. In the video we spice up a stock Korg Drumlogue beat with both channels of the TVM23. In the first half I am modulating it with the a-118-2 random signal clocked by the a-119 gate out. In the second half I am modulating it with a triangle wave from the a-111-3 at LFO and audio rates. Enjoy!"

via Noisebug

The TVM23 is an all analog audio processor for eurorack format synthesizers.

38mm rear depth.

18HP wide.

200 mA +12 average load, 500 mA on first power up.

50 mA -12.

The TVM23 is a dual processor with two separate channels independent from each other.

The heart of both channels is a 6CB6 pentode. Two matched 6CB6 pentodes are used.

The left channel utilizes distortion and feedback to create harmonic trills and waveshaping effects.

A genuine 5C1 vactrol is used for Control Voltage of the feedback.

The bottom left row of jacks are for the left channel.

The left knob is for the feedback, the center left knob is for the gain.

This channel seems to have more obvious effects when an audio source higher in frequency is inserted.

Hit the transpose up on your sequence a few times to see what I mean.

The right channel is a loud but clean tube VCA suitable for sweetening audio signals and processing

dynamic depth.

The 6CB6 is used for both audio processing as well as Control Voltage processing for this channel.

The bottom right row of jacks is for the right channel.

The right knob is the gain control for this tube VCA.

While most “VCA” modules are Voltage Controlled Attenuators, this is a Voltage Controlled Amplifier.

Your signal will come out louder than before when patching into this channel.

The left channel greatly benefits from having attenuation before entering.

Even better is placing a VCA before it to have dynamic depth control of the waveshaping and distortion effects.

You can use the right channel for this.

But most likely you already have a traditional VCA in your system so you can use what you have for attenuation/VCA duties before entering the left channel,

then patch the left channel into the right channel for it’s gain and audio sweetening effects.

I happen to have multiple tube VCA’s so I patch a tube VCA before the left channel and after the left channel for maximum character and saturation effects.

A lot of other people do too.

Whichever VCA you choose to use before entering the left channel you will be greatly rewarded with dynamic continuously variable distortion effects as the feedback loop is always changing.

Even before you insert control voltage into the feedback amount, the feedback loop is sensitive to the amount of signal feeding it and produces unique glitchy trills that sound like a video game.

Modulate the amount of attenuation with that VCA that goes before the left channel with a random voltage, sequencer, arpeggiator, envelope, sweeping LFO or clocked rhythmic gates.

I really like the NoiseRing and Wogglebug or sequence that is feeding my oscillators for this task.

For the right channel VCA a postive control voltage source from 1-10 volts with an onboard attenuator and variable response curve is recommended. Maths works great for this.

The VCA doesn’t use an exponential VCA chip or OTA like most other VCA’s, so the response curve is not a guaranteed linear or expo response and it is different with every tube used.

That is why it best to use a modulator with a variable curve and attenuation to dial in the best response.

It is recommended to start with all the knobs at full clockwise/around 5 o’clock and then work the knobs counter clockwise as you listen to the incoming audio source.

3-5 o’clock seems to be about the sweet spot for all the knobs but you will find hidden sounds everywhere.

The center knob controls gain, so if you bring it back too far counter clockwise that will attenuate the signal completely and no sound will come out. Center knob is usually best in the 3-5’oclock range.

The left and center knobs are part of a feedback network, so the settings between the two interact and manipulate the behavior and sound of the whole left channel in a symbiotic relationship.

They both effect the pitch effects that come from the feedback sounds.

Hypersynth on Dirtywave M8 with new ADSR envelopes in 3.0

video upload by Avrilcadabra

"This is in the soon to be released Firmware 3.0 for the M8

This was filmed on Beta 0, 16 beta's later we got to RC1 and it should be ready for full release soon.
Uploaded from my phone (direct audio though) but I will post a bigger video on 3.0 soon with better audio and video.

This is the new Synth engine, it is called Hypersynth, it is a 13 saw engine, 12 saws and 1 sub.

It is designed as a chord engine, the saws can be split in stereo pairs across 6 pitches to make 6 note chords in a single track.

also now ADSR envelopes are in the M8. Which makes playing with a keyboard a lot of fun. So here we have 8 instances of hype synth (104 saws 8 notes were held on midi keyboard)

Thought it would be amusing to use the virus to control it."
