UDO Super 8 - The Sequencer

video upload by UDO Audio

"One of the standout features of both the Super 8 and Super Gemini is how seamlessly you can blend their layers to create rich, complex sounds and performances. A great way to explore this potential is by using the built-in sequencer, as Hazel skillfully demonstrates in this video. By playing the layers against each other and tweaking how they interact using controls like clock division and the keyboard’s split function, you can discover just how expressive, powerful, and enjoyable these instruments are to play.

Bristronica 24: Big T Music's Mutable Open Source Modules

video upload by sonicstate

"At Machina Bristronica 2024, we caught up with Gaz from Big T Music - The range includes one-to-one replications of Mutable Instruments' designs, like Veils and Stages, and also unique adaptations such as the Beehive, a compact version of Plaits. Gaz noted that some designs include expanded features with different firmware, enhancing the default functionalities while maintaining a distinct aesthetic.

Their interpretation of Monsoon brings hidden functions to the forefront, thanks to collaborative efforts, including input from designer Jonathan Barnbrook."

All parts here. Also see the Machina Bristronica below for additional coverage.

Bastl Kastle Arp #23 (with Kastle DRUM and tonic)

video upload by alloutofsync

"I created a rhythm pattern with tonic that evokes a sense of ancient times. On top of that, I intentionally added inorganic noise percussion from DRUM and a melody from ARP. The performance itself is improvised. In post-production, I added reverb and delay.

Thereminator 2 for iOS & Apple Silicon Macs

video upload by YonacSoftware

"Available NOW in the App Store.

Create haunting and beautiful sounds on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Silicon Macs. Available now on the App Store! Special Halloween sale for a limited time!

“I’ll be Bach.” Stop the presses! Load up the inkwells! For it's the return of one of the first — if not the first — instruments made for iOS: the infamous “pocket theremin” is back.

A lot has changed since those heady days of 2008, and so has Thereminator. Although it is not made of T-1000 grade liquid metal (well...not yet), the all-new Thereminator 2 has evolved into a bona fide touch controlled virtual theremin with ample helpings of tone, expression, versatility, and technology.

And it’s now an AUv3 plugin, too! Using a special adaptation of the MPE protocol, Thereminator 2 can inject its eerie sounds directly into your DAW, whether on your iPhone, iPad or Apple Silicon powered computer.

Whether you have your plan 9 ready, or just lurking in dark shadows, it is a thrill to bring back the app that started it all for us. Thank Y’all for the support, for it’s been an amazing journey!

Blindfold Showdown: Muse vs. Minimoog Model D – Can You Hear the Difference?

video upload by Allen Michael

"Yeah, when I go out to a gig or studio sesh I dont wanna lug around my entire analog synth rig... unless I'm doing something important like producing Foreigner or the next Styx ballad. So if your a groovy cat, you are probably wondering if the new muse can do convincing basic or complex mono minimoog model d sounds.

This video has 8 audio listening examples. Let your ears decide which sound is the muse or the minimoog. I will post the answers to the blind test soon! I had to match these patches by ear to the best of my ability... (im human.. cut me some slack).

BTW, if you own or plan on buying a muse I've created some bread & butter type patches for the synth you can download free for a limited time. I wasn't too happy with the presets the muse came with. So to save time I created 2 banks of 80s pop inspired stuff. A demo of the sounds can also be found on my channel or type in MUSE ALLEN MICHAEL.

You can download the patches here: https://allenmichaelproductions.com/m...

BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL.

Function Map by Agentic Devices - max for live non-linear macro modulator

via Agentic Devices

"With 5 nested function curves governed by a master slider control, use this Max4Live modulator to create multiple complex, non-linear parameter changes. Each of the 5 function curves can be mapped to 4 parameters in Live and slowly transitioned with a master smoothing control."

"Also available (free!): Shaper Gate - max for live rhythmic gate / panner

A modified Shaper device used to control a VCA or Panning effect. It can morph between VCA or Panning and has Min/Max constraints for both the modulation destination and VCA."

"'Night Porter' was created using Akai MPC2000 and iOS remixlive.
The synchronization was done with MPC2000 as the master and iPad as the slave.
The swaying groove of MPC2000 is very pleasant."

Beep Booping Tape Scrubber Module!

uTape Scrubber #001 test

video upload by Beepboop Electronics

See previous posts for Superbooth 2023 demos of the uTape.

via Beep Boop Electronics

"I present the LOFI uTape Scrubber….. based around modified dictaphone including the same replay and AC record circuits used in the upcoming 1U Taperack system!

The uTape scrubber module is easy to set up, use and maintain so requires no previous experience with tape or tape loops unlike the 1U taperack system which will be best suited to people with experience working with tape.

The Bi-directonal motor driver circuit I have designed is a huge improvement over the standard dictaphone motor driver circuit making it possible to scrub the tape back and forth with a single control knob or a Biploar CV signal.

The Pitch knob is used for fine tune control of tape speed, the range of the speed will depend upon the direction/range control.

The direction / range control knob can be used to choose the direction of the tape movement and the range of the overall pitch.

The Pitch CV control knob is an attenuator for the CV input.

The CV input works well with +/- 5V CV signals but for extreme speeds and scrubbing use +/- 10V.
