dreadbox Artemis Demo (No Talking) with Presets for Ambient, Electronica and Techno


video upload by Limbic Bits

"dreadbox Artemis – My 2 Cents
Artemis is a polyphonic analog synthesizer with six voices and a comprehensive effects section developed by Sinevibes. Housed in a solid desktop chassis, all potentiometers, faders, and buttons feel great, with just the right amount of resistance. On the rear, you'll find a stereo output, a separate headphone output, plus USB and MIDI connections. It doesn't offer a foot pedal input, but it supports MPE (I still need to try that with my Osmose).

Now to the most important part — the sound. It features that great vintage tone I love so much on other dreadbox devices, largely thanks to its creamy-sounding filters. Both filters offer resonance, and the low-pass filter can be switched between 12dB and 24dB slopes.

But it doesn't stop there: thanks to TZFM and filter FM (yes, noise can be a source here too), it can sound very modern as well, making it great for all sorts of electronic music. Although it offers quite a lot of modulation options, I still found myself wishing for features like key tracking for LFO rate, negative envelope amounts, noise as a modulation source in the menu, or meta-modulations. After reaching out to dreadbox about these features, they told me they are already working on them for a future update and/or will look into them. Based on my past experiences with dreadbox, I’m confident we can expect a nice firmware update for Artemis in the future.

The effects section by Sinevibes is also great — it’s just a shame that there are no external inputs like on the Typhon, as those would have made it a fantastic standalone effects unit as well. You get four effect slots (Lo-Fi/overdrive/shaper, modulation, delay, and reverb), each with several options to further tweak the sound. Here, I would love to see a bit more flexible routing, allowing changes to the effect order. But even without that, the effects section is a great addition that melts perfectly into the internal analog sound engine. I'd only recommend not adding too much, as the effects can quickly become dominant.

TL;DR: dreadbox Artemis is a sweet-spot synth that can also show its teeth when desired. Its intuitive interface and great-sounding effects unit make it an excellent companion for live performances. Definitely a highlight!"

New Eurorack Modules Coming From Doepfer


Doepfer will be showcasing the above new modules at SUPERBOOTH25. Details on each follow.
Check with dealers on the right for upcoming availability.



Module A-119-2 is kind of a dual version of module A-119 without envelope follower. Instead two amplifiers are available and the module width is 4 HP only.

The module contains two amplifiers with separately adjustable amplification levels. Each channel is equipped with an overload display. The module can be used also for stereo signals, e.g. the stereo output of a smartphone.

Controls and displays:

Level 1/2: manual control of the amplification in the range 0 - about 45.

Overload 1/2: overload LED, begins to light up for output levels beyond about 10Vpp (+/-5V)

In 1: audio input 1 (monophonic or stereophonic, see technical details)

In 2: audio input 2 (monophonic)

Out 1/2: audio output (monophonic)

Technical details:

for higher amplifications the two amplifiers can be daisy-chained

normalling options: the signal applied to socket In 1 can be normalled to socket In 2 in different ways by means of a jumper on the pc board:

socket In 1 is connected via a mono patch cable (standard patch cable) to a monophonic signal and this signal is normalled to socket In 2 (i.e. the same input signal for both sub-units): jumper on pin header JP2 in upper position

socket In 1 is connected via a 3.5 mm stereo TRS cable to a stereophonic signal and the second channel of the stereo signal is normalled to socket In 2: jumper on pin header JP2 in lower position

no normalling: jumper is removed from pin header JP2

all inputs and outputs are DC coupled. Thus the module can be used also for the amplifications of control voltages.
