Stereo Rungler and using chaotic sounds in a track - Schlappy Patching 2025 EP.1

video upload by SCHLAPPI ENGINEERING

"In this one we are going back to first ever patch we made last year: the Rungler.
I'll expand on it a little bit, make it stereo and show you a fun way to use chaotic sound as a sound design tool in Abelton Live at the end."

Elektron Octatrack and Roland SH-4D - Live energetic performance

video upload by Jay Hosking

"A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

This is a remix/reimagining of "Suantrai" by Jan Steiner, which is on his new EP. Jan is a friend, and a member of my Patreon community, and he reached out about the idea of a remix. The song itself is quite sparse, but beautiful and melodic, and the whole EP is a little hard to predict; I tried to take the beauty and melody, and add my own type chaos into the mix.

I started with altered versions of four of Jan's instruments (string thing, bass drone, Rhodes, light percussion) and went wild with my own additions (my own orchestra sound, off the top; mangled drum breaks; glitched percussion). This left me with some audio files I could work with in the Octatrack.

Once in the Octatrack, I realized I wanted additional melodies and sounds, so I hooked up the Roland SH-4D. The SH-4D is a four-part multi-timbral synth with a fifth layer for drums, very useful for making songs. The melody, arpeggio, extra bass, and midrange distorted drums all come from the SH-4D.

Altogether this left a pretty full arrangement, and the scenes/fader—the magic of the Octatrack—helped to bring out the performance. Most scenes were to alter the drum breaks, by reordering, repitching, and/or retriggering the drum slices, plus with additional effects like phaser, sample- and bit- reduction, distortion, etc.

The end result captures what I loved about Jan's track, and his EP in general: beautiful and melodic, sprawling but intentional, but with a little chaos thrown into the mix. I hope you enjoy.

Thanks for listening.

Elektron Octatrack MkII - Six audio sample tracks playing eight or nine audio sample parts across the song, plus effects, plus sequencing of everything (including MIDI), plus mixing of the audio from SH-4D, plus scenes

Roland SH-4D - Three synths (melody, arpeggio, bass) plus minimal drums in the finale

Performed and recorded live to a stereo output, with EQ, compression, and limiting on the master.

🔁 Basimilus Iteritas Alter by Noise Engineering 🔁 🎧 (no talking) 🎧

video upload by Cutoff Frequency - gear stuff (no talking)

"This is a video demonstrating the sounds of the Basimilus Iteritas Alter by Noise Engineering.

This beast just keeps on delivering. It is such a versatile unit that produces sounds from relatively gently pluck sounds to all out distorted gabber kicks. The possibilities are so vast and unknown it is just a matter of keeping twisting the knobs until you land on the spot you never know you were looking for. Noise Engineering has released the Basimilus Iteritas Alia to replace the Alter due to a lack components available. They apparently sound almost the same. When I'm looking for something special, this is the one!"

MPC 3 - Granular Sampler

video upload by Audiorial

"Salut, Si les MPC manque d’une certaine fonction, c’est bien le sampling granulaire. C’est devenu une option très demandée tant elle ouvre le sampling à l’expérimentation et à la création de texture si particulière. Dans cette vidéo, je vous propose de palier à ce défaut en utilisant une de mes techniques secrètes.

"A piece created using the ‪@NovationTV‬ Circuit and the ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ GENERATION LOSS MK2.

On top of a looped synth pad, another synth melody is played. The entire sound is being modulated by the GENERATION LOSS. With the Circuit, I manipulate the parameters of each patch—altering the timbre while opening and closing the filter."

Noise Engineering Introduces the Confundo Funkidos Four-Channel Rhythm Crossfader Eurorack Module

video upload by Noise Engineering



Press release follows:

Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known in part for their innovative utility modules, has released the highly anticipated Confundo Funkidos, a rhythm crossfader and performance utility, and successor to the immensely popular Confundo Funkitus.

Inspired by DJ performance techniques, Confundo Funkitus takes in eight trigger patterns, then uses a crossfader to combine them, apply probability, or swap between them as the user desires. Each channel also features a mute switch so that channels can be added and removed from a patch at will.

New to the second version is the addition of algorithmically generated Accent outputs, which create high and low gates based on input patterns and automatically bring life to any modulation destination. The BURN section of Confundo Funkidos has also been expanded with a new parameter, making it even easier to create fills on the fly. The Mute switches have also been upgraded, featuring a center position that removes a channel from BURN fills and sets its Accent output low while still outputting triggers.

“We’ve been thinking about a new version of Confundo Funkitus for a long time,” says Markus Cancilla, Noise Engineering’s Chief of Destruction. “Confundo Funkidos brings together everything we’ve learned in the years since the original was discontinued, and makes the original concept even more fun. We’re really excited to hear what people do with it.”

While Confundo Funkidos has double the outputs and even more parameters than the original, it’s still contained in the same 12 HP package. At this small size, it’s easy to integrate into performance skiffs, while its extensive inputs and outputs make patching it with larger systems a creative dream. And while it was designed with compactness in mind, its interface features excellent ergonomics, maintaining excellent performability.

Confundo Funkidos is now open for preorders. It ships starting January 9th at https://noiseengineering.us and at retailers globally.
