video upload by sonicstate

"This is one of those 'why has nobody done this before?' ideas - apologies if somebody has already done this and we just missed it, but kudos to vpme.de for bringing this out: a small module for your Eurorack rig that can accept power from a regular USB-C power bank and convert it into the 12V and 5V voltages needed to run Eurorack cases."

How to Make Percussion Sounds on the Sonicware Liven Ambient Ø | Percussion Synthesis Tutorial

video upload by Sonic Cartography

"In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to make percussion sounds on the Sonicware Liven Ambient Ø. With its combination of wavetable, ring modulation and FM synthesis, the synthesizer is surpassingly capable in this regard. It can also be a good starting point for learning about percussion synthesis (or at least it was for me). The video covers a variety of percussive sounds, including drums, high hats, and other melodic percussion sounds, reminiscent of bells, xylophones, marimbas, toy pianos etc."

Ok, it's a basic modular improvisation, nothing too complex.
Sometime it's enough..."

"The 4-voice JU-06 module has 23 parameters controllable via the front panel and that classic JUNO sound – complete with the much-loved JUNO chorus effect. There are some new additions too, including a faster LFO and continuously variable hi-pass filter (HPF). You can even slide the JU-06 into the optional K-25m keyboard unit for a self-contained, go-anywhere synth experience."
