Het Concreet Scanner 2023
video upload by
"In November 2023, I joined the team at Het Concreet in Tilburg, The Netherlands for a week long residency.
Het Concreet is a Dutch sound collective dedicated to finding new sounds by experimenting with analog electronic devices, magnetic tape and acoustics. Their analogue ambitions are rooted in their studio space, where they seek to find new meanings of sound by working with techniques that have become largely obsolete in today’s world. Their main instrument is magnetic tape, so I collaborated with my own analogue gear.
Radio Concrète was a a 12-hour broadcasting marathon that explored radio as a compositional tool and included contributions from Margherita Brillada, Veerle Pennock, Clara Byom, Bas van Druten, Nele Möller, Marieke van de Ven, Sharon Stewart, and was hosted by Steph Byrne.
During my stay, I fell in love with the Elektor Formant, a vintage Dutch synth handmade by Jos van Ras. In addition I used my SOMA Ether, Lore Mill Keyed Mosstone and Make Noise Strega synth. At the end of the broadcast, I made an intimate performance for a live and dedicated audience in collaboration with Het Concreet. This is an excerpt from that show."

NibbleKnotOne / I watched a video on the Lorre-Mill Double Knot and I shouldn't have / NIBBLER
video upload by BRiES
"Have you heard of this device? It combines a double shift register with some west-coast (lpg?) features to create simple but mesmerizing sequences of blips and bloops. I watched an Instagram reel by Sam Prekop that sounded way too nice, so I had a go at creating something similar in eurorack using Schlappi Engineering's NIBBLERS and THREE BODY.
I don't think I got anywhere close to what a Double Knot can do but these kinds of patches either end up being interesting in their own right or are the stepping stone for incremental understanding of a (new) technique."
SOLAR 42 firmware ver.2
video upload by ELTA music
"New firmware fixed bugs and added some settings.
The sensor plates will now work steadily.
There are 3 new pages in the calibration settings:
- TOUCH THRESHOLD sets the value below which a plate will be interpreted as pressed.
- RELEASE THRESHOLD sets the value above which a plate will be interpreted as unpressed.
- KEYBOARD DIAGNOSIS visualises the state and unprocessed pressure level of each plate.
ATTENTION!
Only for devices with serial number 001 to 206

Pittsburgh Modular Taiga Keys - 3 Oscillator Movement
video upload by Molten Music Technology
"A simple sequencing of the Taiga Keys' three oscillators to explore some of the sound shaping, filter and dynamics. The sequencing is provided by the Seb Songs PolySEQ, and the reverb from Erica Synths Black Stereo Reverb which both fit neatly inside the expansion bay. Adding Cassette Saturation and Cascade Delay we have the Hologram Chroma Console. It gives it some nice wobble and bite."

Introducing Taiga Keyboard Expandable Analog Synthesizer
video upload by Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers
"Taiga is a complete, modern, modular instrument that allows us to explore beyond the boundaries of a traditional analog synthesizer. The sound of Taiga can be attributed to three uniquely Pittsburgh innovations. A trio of huge analog oscillators, the unmistakably smooth sound of the Pittsburgh Filter, and the warmth of our Dynamics Controller. These enable us to not only create sounds that we would traditionally expect from an analog monosynth, but to also explore new sonic textures and performance possibilities.
Unique To Taiga Keyboard
Taiga Keyboard’s larger format provides the room for a few unique features. Most obvious is a full size 37 key premium keybed with velocity and aftertouch. The dedicated pitch and modulation wheels offer instant access to a unique set of modulation tools including manual control, clock sync’d LFO, envelope, and random source. 1/4 inch left and right output jacks, and full sized MIDI in and MIDI out DIN jacks are available on the rear of the instrument. The larger format also allows Taiga Keyboard to utilize larger, more spread out knobs and a second analog LFO.
Taiga Keyboard also includes a first-of-its-kind, 24hp Eurorack format modular expansion bay. The fully modular signal path of Taiga means modules can be inserted into any point of the signal path. Install a 4th or 5th oscillator into the expansion bay and create truly monster sounds. Additional filters allow for an expanded sonic palette. Add a sampler, sequencer, complex digital effects, or even a Maths. The integrated Eurorack expansion bay allows Taiga Keyboard to be customized to meet the unique needs of any artist."
