Belgian Modular Day 2024 Set for Saturday, June 15

via Belgian Modular Day

"Welcome to Belgian Modular Day II in Ghent on Saturday, June 15.

A well-filled day, starting at 1:30 pm and the last powercase will be turned off around 10:00 pm. Be there or be a square wave…

Modular Monster Jam
We start Modular day with the world record attempt for the biggest number of musicians jamming together with modular synths.

Demos & talks
We’ll serve up talks and demos from these Belgian creators: Joranalogue, Klavis, Skull & Circuits, ThreeTom, Voltage Vibes, Morphor and Alfa Delta.

Live acts
We close the day with concerts by Modtech (Frederik Strobbe), Dries Geusens, Halfgeleider (Maarten Voeten), Lieven Stockx, Tectonia (Ricardo Verschut) and ArkOdd (Vincent Vanesse).

Synapse workshop
During the day you’ll get synaptic waves from the Synapse workshop.

Meet & patch
You’ll find plenty of fine places to patch and catch up on bleeps and beeps.

Newbleeps
Newbleeps are very welcome, it is the ideal opportunity to meet our warm crackling community."

And via ThreeTom Modular:

"I’m pleased to announce the second edition of Belgian Modular Day, which will take place on the 15th of June in Ghent at the venue of Wisper on the site of Dok Noord.

During BMD I will be giving a talk titled “A wavefolder is not a wave folder”. This talk wil showcase how I use simulations in my design workflow. If there’s things you’d like me to specifically talk about regarding this topic (or another), please feel free to reply to this mail :)

I’m proud to contribute to Belgian Modular Day by sponsoring the performance of Dries Geusens at 20:40. Dries has a preference for self-built, analog modules, and live recordings. He approaches patches as “impressionistic snapshots of the temporary state of the system”.

Dries describes his latest release “Sakura Variations – 4 studies for modular synthesizer” as "4 pieces combined in 1 track serving beautiful sounddesign, fantastic harmonies, emotional-deep-calm layers, inspiring transitions, modular solos, energetic-relaxing-hypnotising rhythms and sequences with sometimes a jazzy flavor." My personal favourite track by Dries is “Variations on Sakura (live)”, a recording from his live performance during the previous edition of Belgian Modular Day.

You may also know Dries from the bands Nordmann, Knelpunt, and Elias, where he plays bass and synthesizer."

Korg Wavestate - "Space Odyssey" (40 Exclusive Performances)

video upload by LFOstore

"Humanity has always strived to go beyond the boundaries of our planet, which has become the cradle of life - and music emphasized the aspirations to explore the hidden depths of the vast space! Fantastic planets, inexplicable phenomena, other forms of life and unknown civilizations - all this has attracted the attention of composers, writers and artists in all centuries.

The proposed soundset for the legendary synthesizer, Korg Wavestate, contains intricate arpeggios, bright cosmic leads, inspirational keyboards, shimmering multi-layered pads, enchanting sequences and even splits that allow you to play different parts at the same time! All you need to compose modern space music!

These 40 exclusive performances were created by the well-known sound designer, Otto K. Schwarz and his team. Each preset has modwheel and X/Y pad assigned, which allows you to deeply modulate and customize the sounds to the needs of your own musical works. These presets are suitable for both studio work and live performances.

We wish you a wonderful journey through cinematic soundscapes and inspiration in creating world-class musical compositions!

In this soundset you will find 40 exclusive sample-based presets: 5 ARPs, 7 Keys, 6 Leads, 13 Pads, 9 Sequences / Splits. All presets are royalty-free!
The sample bank of 1+ Gb (external samplebank should be stored in the settings). Instructions are included."

Oberheim OB-Xa 61-Key 8-Voice Synthesizer SN 820317

via this listing

"Very clean vintage Oberheim OBXa from the early 1980s. This is an 8-voice model that is completely fully functional and loaded with the original factory presets. It was just serviced which included:

-Recapping the power supply + new bridge rectifiers.
-Replaced J wires where necessary.
-Key buss polishing.
-All new bushings + key chassi alignment.
-Calibration.

The cosmetic condition is impressive for its age. It is not dead mint, but certainly one of the cleaner ones I’ve seen over the years. These are considered to be in the circle of the best poly-synths ever made and with good reason. They sound incredible and are endlessly inspiring instruments."
