"This 1010 Music Custom 'Whitebox' Black Box comes with a custom white decal/skin and beautifully turned wooden knobs. The skin install isn’t perfect as there are some blemishes/creases/smudges that give it subtle industrial battle scar look that’s really isn’t noticeable unless looking up close with a bright light. (See Pics)
White decal can be removed and wood knobs encoders can be replaced with original factory knobs included. Comes with original box, MIDI adapter cables, USB Cable, and a SD Card.
Can be powered with a usb wall adapter (apple ipad power adapter works well) computer hub, or even a portable battery charger. (Not included)"
"My 84th original eurorack modular synth DIY projects.
BP1032 DSP Reverb module from China based FX module.
Effect types and parameters can be changed using PC software called APCWrokbench.
Background The 84th work of my own modular synth. There are many suspicious circuit modules on sale on Aliexpress whose purpose is unknown. Depending on your idea, you can easily create original modules at low cost. This time, I planned to create a Pitch Shifter using such a suspicious and attractive Chinese module.
Pitch shifter A pitch shifter is a type of effect that raises or lowers the frequency of the input sound. By layering 5th or octave sounds, you can create a thick sound. There are also several Pitch shifter modules on the market for modular synths.
Specifications of the work Eurorack standard 3U 8HP size Power supply: 50mA (+12V), 10mA (-12V)
Pitch shifter module using BP1032 DSP IC manufactured by Mountain View Silicon, a Chinese semiconductor manufacturer. The amount of pitch shift is fixed. In my case, I use it at a perfect fifth (5th).
DRY POT: Adjusts the DRY volume WET POT: Adjusts the WET volume INPUT LEVEL: Adjusts the input signal. Adjusts the input level to accommodate ±5V of modular synth sound and general line level. OUTPUT LEVEL: Adjusts the output volume Signal IN: Audio input L Out: Left output. Not used with Pitch shift, but valid when the Reverb effect is selected. R Out: Right output. Not used with Pitch shift, but valid when the Reverb effect is selected. The biggest drawback of this module is that it does not have an interface for the applied effects or effect parameters on the front panel. You can adjust the effects and parameters by connecting it to a PC via USB C. In addition to being a pitch shifter, it can also be used as a reverb or delay depending on the settings. ACPWorkbench To switch effects, use PC software called ACPWorkbench. This software is made in China and is of questionable origin, so use at your own risk. My PC's antivirus software did not detect any viruses, but I don't know if it's safe.

"I rearranged the studio and am testing different things with diverse machines around the 2500 and a simple sequence. There's IMO a promising potential, but it would require way more time to invest, than the one hour I spend on a session to make a serious track. I usually concentrate on one modular system, cause it's more direct, plug'n'play fun, perfect for short 30 minutes sessions in the studio. But I've been thinking for a long time about having again the drum machines in the game, also some rack synths I like. Means connecting again MIDI and so on. I hesitated a lot, cause the last thing I want to do is spend time on programming! But I have to admit that I'm easely bored with the repetitive 16 steps sequences on the modulars (or 32 or 64). Time will tell if it was a good idea to take out the Buchla system to make space for the beat machines & effects corner.
The first synth we hear (4 bass notes repeating) is a Oberheim Matrix 1000. Then comes the Ace Tone FR-2 drum machine. Then the 2500. And after the Waldorf Q (fast sequence, staccato)."
"I made different patches in the same sessions, also checking how the 2500 filter does sound with diverse waveforms.
In retrospect I think a simple beat on top wouldn't have spoiled anything, at the contrary."

"This Part 2 continues my musical exploration of Moog One featuring custom-created patches from five years of owning and using this monster synth.
Does it have a characteristic sound? What are its sweet spots? How does its sound compare to the Moog Muse? I hope this video and part 1 will help to answer those questions.
With the Moog One discontinued and the release of the Moog Muse, I figured it was a good time to make these videos. The Moog One has at times been misunderstood and maligned. It didn't offer the sonic 'instant gratification' of some other classic synths because in a way it's in a category all by itself. It takes time to figure out how to get the best out of it, but when you do, it's one of the most powerful, musically rewarding and inspiring synths ever made.
All the sounds you hear in this video were created by me on the Moog One 16 voice and include poly synths, pads, strings, ambient, soundscapes, keys, arps and hybrid patches.
Any effects you hear on the sounds in this video are internal to Moog One. I mainly use delay and reverb and several patches use no FX at all. I generally do not use the chorus and modulation effects as they colour the sound too much (in fact my main use of the chorus effect is set at 0% mix to add gain to patches). No external processing was applied.
*** If you are a Moog One owner, all the sounds in this video and many more will soon be available to purchase as part of the Synth Universe Moog One Sound Banks. Please subscribe and enable notifications and you will be alerted - thanks."
