Which one do you prefer between the two? 😉

New Customizable Controller from Melbourne Instruments in the Works?

Short clip with no audio. This one is in via SovietSportsTechno who noted it appears to be an upcoming controller from Melbourne Instruments. It appears to be customizable with motorized knobs, and buttons. As you can see in the video it's mapped to Ableton's mixer controls, but it would be fair to assume you will be able to map it to other paramaters.

Update: pictured with an Elektron Syntakt. Note the parameters. Click the image to zoom in. Curious if it will have a built in sequencer.

Buchla & Friends: VERMONA Eurorack Demo Setup

video upload by vermonagear

"Join us as we showcase our Eurorack setup at the *2025 Buchla & Friends event in Los Angeles on January 25 and 26*. This setup features most of our current modules, including the meloDICER and our latest addition, BASS|DRUM.

For this demonstration, we patched a simple subtractive voice using the uniCYCLE oscillator, twinVCFilter, and twinVCAmp. Two channels of fourMative CONTOURS create an Attack-Decay envelope to modulate the filter and VCA. A second uniCYCLE serves as the modulation source, controlling the frequency of the first oscillator.

No surprises here: the BASS|DRUM module delivers powerful bass drum sounds.

The twinCUSSION+ module handles additional percussion duties. Its first channel is used for various percussive elements, while the second acts as a snare drum. We also use its noise generator, combined with the second channels of twinVCFilter and twinVCAmp, to produce hi-hat sounds.

All sequencing is handled by the meloDICER for melodies and the randomRHYTHM module for rhythm parts. We added effects using Logic Pro for an extra layer of depth.
