An Update on KALEIDOSCOPE by Vadjuse

24:38 Modulation Envelope Quantization
28:36 Outro

Kaleidoscope has 4 tracks, each with its own timbre. You can assemble a whole ensemble: drums, bass, leads, strings, percussion, drones, noises and others...
If you place the same timbres on all tracks, you will get a classic polyphonic synthesizer.
Use the methods:
subtractive synthesis
additive synthesis
synthesis of physical modeling
FM synthesis
Kaleidoscope has on each track:
complex oscillator for creating multiple waveforms
wavefolder
hardsync
filter with resonance
combo filter for creating echoes and resonances
overload
FM mixer router
audio mixer router
Generative Sequencer
Kaleidoscope has a built-in generative sequencer for creating rhythmic and parametric patterns.
It is based on functional methods for creating control signals and triggers.
Such a sequencer works as an add-on to the control system and does not conflict with external sequencers.
The generative sequencer can be used to create rhythmic patterns and parametric arpeggios.
Modulation matrix
Each envelope generates a trigger at the end of its attack-decay cycle . This trigger can be passed to any other envelope to trigger it.
If the envelope triggers itself, it becomes something like a low-frequency oscillator (LFO).
If the envelope trigger exchange is disabled, it operates in normal ADSR mode.
Modulation matrix
Almost all synthesizers on the market have a two-dimensional modulation matrix.
You select only one parameter for the modulator (envelope or LFO) from several available track parameters.
Kaleidoscope has a three-dimensional modulation matrix .
You select not only the parameter for the modulator, but also the track on which this parameter is located.
You can combine modulators in any way you like.
Assign multiple modulators to one parameter.
Modulate the envelope duration or pattern.
Create feedback loops. Negative feedback loops stabilize behavior. Positive feedback loops, on the contrary, destabilize it and turn it into chaos.
In Kaleidoscope you modulate not only the timbral parameters, but also the dynamics of this modulation. This opens up a new dimension of sound exploration.
Similar possibilities can be found in the world of modulars, but not in the world of standalone synthesizers.
See http://vadjuse.ru/kaleidoscope_en for additional details in Russian, or Google translated to English here.
Note the ability to enable and disable the multiple envelop stages.
Threetom's Synthfest France teaser
video upload by Threetom Modular
"See you at Synthfest France?
I’ll be at SynthFest France from Friday 11 April to Sunday 13 April in Nantes (France), where you’ll find me at the Threetom stand. Feel free to drop by, have a chat, and pick up any of your favourite Threetom modules directly—I’ll have the whole lineup with me for you to play with (and available for purchase too of course!).
I will also be showing a new small Eurorack case I made in an exciting eco-friendly material! I’ve made a little teaser video of me building said case.
If you’re around on Friday at 15h, I’m giving a talk called “A Wavefolder is Not a Wave Folder.” It’s a deep dive into simulating synthesizer circuits and the unexpected way in which a wavefolder works.
I hope to see you there!
Tom"

"Quite likely the best LM-1 Drum Computer on the planet, improved by Dani at Hideaway, one of the best techs in the world for this sort of classic gear.
From Dani: here is a link to test recording I made of the custom VCA retrofit I designed for this LM-1 along with a couple of pictures of my custom VCA pcb and the Kenton MIDI retrofit I installed: https://soundcloud.com/hideaway-studio/12-channel-midi-vca-test-segue-01 That mod I designed is a full blown custom pcb in there sporting a midi controlled VCA on every drum channel (which can be switched on/off if required) - its the only one of its kind to date.
In excellent cosmetic condition and perfect working order. UK voltage. Serial number 256. Ultra-careful packing 24GBP."

"Ultra-rare, ultra-powerful (and ultra-confusing until you've spent a few hours getting your head around it, because many controls are re-purposed): Bruce Forat's elaborate take on the classic Linn 9000, adding tons of features, fixing bugs in the original system, and generally turning it into a mainstay of hit record production for a couple of decades (Madonna, Babyface, Glen Ballard etc). Fully checked at VEMIA in March 2024. 240V. Not in super cosmetic condition - these machines are nearly always workhorses - check the photos. Big and heavy: packing 20GBP."
