"Very brief grab of something that happened this morning.

Today I got the Drone Pod into what is probably its finished state (for now) with the addition of a COM from Rides in the Storm. It's a simple little device to convert between line and modular levels so making it much easier to bring in line level devices and freeing up the Disting for more interesting uses than adding gain to incoming audio.

Decided to test it quickly using an old iPad pointing Safari at a WebSDR source. And then this started to happen.

It's just a quick grab from my phone so no attempt to tidy up the workspace etc but I thought it was a rather lovely moment and wanted to catch it as it happened."

WMD Digital VCA MKIII - Dual Zero-Crossing VCA and Polarizer - Announcement


video upload by WMDevices

"Announcing the MKIII version of the WMD Digital VCA eurorack module. This new and improved dual VCA and Polarizer (bipolar VCA) has a zero-crossing detector and noise source. At only 8HP, this module can do many cool things for any modular synth in a small space."

WMD Digital VCA MKIII - In Depth Demo

video upload by WMDevices

"WMD is back and finally in production with the new Digital VCA MKIII eurorack module. This modern take on a classic WMD design combines a Zero Crossing Detector (ZCD), a Voltage Controlled Attenuator (VCA), and a couple noise sources to make a super versatile tool at only 8HP. Watch as Alex Anderson explains many of the features and use cases.

"I've done several designs of this circuit over the years, the first one had no knobs, the second was too small, the MKIII is finally how this circuit should be packaged. This module does some really cool stuff and is super useful in any system.

The Digital VCA lets signal through like a normal VCA, but the CV and attenuation level is controlled digitally. This lets us do things like wait until there is a zero crossing to change the amplitude, resulting in clickless amplitude changes.

The Trigger mode causes the VCA to only update when a trigger is received. The addition of a noise circuit for each side let us do a very quick and easy sample and hold that never droops. With no input, 5V is normaled to the attenuator, so you get a 0-5V sample and hold. In Bipolar mode, you can get -5 to +5V.

Both sides have bipolar VCA mode (polarizer), which lets them invert the signal when negative CV comes in. Also known as ring modulation. With the zero crossing detector, this can produce some super wild wave shapes.

Limited run of 410 units for Eurorack Modular Synthesizer systems. I won't be making more or doing another version in the future."

Poly sequence without sequencer on KORG R3 synthesizer


video upload by Jake

"A song combining several sequences on a KORG R3 synthesizer without sequencer thanks to the Motion Sequencer

The R3 is a bi-timbral synthesizer.

Although it does not have a sequencer per se, it has the "motion sequence" function.

If motion sequencing allows you to automate a parameter over 16 steps, it can be dedicated to the pitch of the notes.

We thus have 2 sequences for the same patch, each controlling its own tone.

On timbre 1, in order to make the sequence more complex, I allocated each of the 2 filters to its own oscillator. Thus on timbre 1 the slow variations of LFO 1 control filter 1 in positive and 2 in negative.

LFO 2 is synchronized to the motion sequencer in the form of a sawtooth wave to simulate a filter envelope trigged to the note

On tone 2, LFO 1 in the form of a square wave at slow speed allows the sequence to be transposed to the seventh at 0.75 hZ.

LFO 2 has the same function as on timbre 1

Recorded in one take without any external effects"

A Rat, a DB-01 and a Light pedal cranked for filth and feedback


video upload by Richard DeHove

"I've always wanted ferocious feedback on a synth, just like them geetar players get. The obvious choices are a FreqOut or even an old Boss FB-2. But how about a Gamechanger Audio Light reverb pedal and a Rat ? One reason I got the Light pedal was its interesting modes, gate and drive. By itself a lot of the options feel very underpowered when fed by the DB-01. But add a Rat after the reverb and everything comes alive.

Here I first try the Light pedal's Reflect mode which is a dirty delay, then the Feedback mode. The Rat is vital to crank the Light pedal's effect although it does add a huge amount of noise. Ideally I'd add a noise gate after the rat and then a delay. Perhaps even a pitch shifting delay to try to get a little more pitch control over the feedback.

With it's little Rat friend the Light pedal now seems a lot more useful.

As usual there's absolutely no other audio processing than what you see.
