Shakmat Modular Workshop at SchneidersLaden

video upload by SchneidersLaden

"On September 26th, Shakmat Modular hosted an exclusive workshop at SchneidersLaden’s former showroom in Kreuzberg. Known for their innovative, performance-oriented Eurorack modules, Shakmat founder François Gaspard demonstrated unique patching techniques and musical workflows, offering deep insights into their design process.

After the presentation, the evening transitioned into an informal gathering with drinks, allowing attendees to connect with fellow enthusiasts and the creators themselves. A perfect blend of learning, creativity, and community at one of the last workshops in the beloved Kottbusser Tor showroom!"

Schlappi Engineering BTFLD / trying to explain the folding / modulation

video upload by BRiES

"BTFLD by Schlappi Engineering is a unique take on the wavefolding concept, as it uses binary conversion (and clever engineering) to create breaks in the waves without really changing the shape of the slopes. You have to see it otherwise it won't make a lot of sense. That's what this video is about.

At this point I'm really still getting to know BTFLD by ‪@SCHLAPPIENGINEERING‬ but I wanted to share a few insights. Everything was already patched up as I was figuring things out so it made sense to just set up my camera and do a quick video."

Press release follows:

November 1, 2024 (BURLINGTON, VT) – Soundtoys PhaseMistress is FREE through November 15 at soundtoys.com (a $99 value). This full-featured and powerful plug-in gives you rich phase sweeps, analog vibes, and programmable rhythmic modulation. Sign up to claim this offer.

“When we designed PhaseMistress, we were inspired by the sound of classic analog phase-shifters of the 1970s and 80s, but I think we ended up re-inventing the effect,” said Ken

Bogdanowicz, CEO and lead designer at Soundtoys.

“By combining a super flexible phase-shifting engine with a powerful modulation system we transformed a stock effect into something totally new and wonderful. We’re still discovering new sounds and new ways to use PhaseMistress.”

PhaseMistress puts you in control of all aspects of the phaser sound. Y ou can set the number of stages from 2 up to a wild 24, then fine-tune and offset the resonance, color, and intensity to craft unique phase-shifting styles.

PhaseMistress contains a customizable LFO with preset shapes, or you can draw your own and store it. Plus, you can draw your custom curves in the T weak panel. Rhythm mode lets you program and store simple or complex patterns, while in Envelope mode, PhaseMistress responds to the dynamics of the incoming audio for funky triggered effects.

“I like the animation of sound that’s possible with PhaseMistress. The LFO, Envelope Follower, and Rhythm mode became essential as percussion modeling effects. Y ou can completely crush drum sounds and get some really odd phase-shifting sound effects.”
– Richard Divine (artist, producer, sound designer)

Open PhaseMistress’s Style menu to browse an extensive set of styles that give you the sonic flavor of legendary hardware like the Bi-Phase, Super Phaser, Phase 90, Instant Phaser, Small Stone, and more. These retro analog sounds combined with modern controls and customizable LFO make PhaseMistress one of the most powerful phase effects available.

Users who download the free PhaseMistress plug-in will get a discounted upgrade offer in their Soundtoys account to trade up their PhaseMistress license to the Soundtoys 5 bundle. And with the Soundtoys Black Friday sale starting soon, that deal will get even sweeter.

Move vs Push - Controlling Ableton Live with the Move

video upload by Tum Sun

"Head-to-head comparison of the Move and the Push - who wins (and what do we learn along the way)? Not the Push 3 or the Push 2, but the original Push! Can the very first controller that ‪@Ableton‬ made beat their newest device, the Move? Should you even consider picking up the Move to use as a controller for Ableton Live?"
