Ambient w/ volca fm2, OP-1 field | False Memory 2025-06-16 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"A piece created with the @teenageengineering OP-1 field and @KORG_INC volca fm2. Rubbing stones and bells mix with airy synth tones and fine, grain-like fragments.

OP-1 field: Records the scraped stone and bell sounds, then layers live playing on the internal synth. On NIGHTSKY, adding reverb while adjusting the filter.

volca fm2: Runs a simple sequence; I shift octaves and tempo on the fly, while the @ChaseBlissAudio MOOD MK II adds delay and pitch-shifting."

2. Luma-mu - Tutorial 02 - Creating own sounds with Luma.tools

"Making your own sounds for Luma-mu with https://luma.tools/ - Web-based sound editor for Luma-1 and Luma-mu."

"After launching the successful Luma-1 project, which is a precise recreation of the legendary Linn LM-1 with extended feature set, we’re announcing the beginning of shipping Luma-mu.

Luma-mu is a 10HP Eurorack module, essentially a single drum channel of Luma-1 which holds multiple sounds in its ROM. It plays samples digitally without microcontroller or software used, which guarantees the lowest latency and highest response of its 8-bit mu-Law DAC. It’s perfect for Luma-1 expansion or standalone operation.

Luma-mu feature set:
8-bit mu-law EPROM playback, exact copy of LM-1/Luma-1 channel
Removable EPROMs with 8 sounds on each, 16KB each (~1.5sec/ea)
True digital playback with no microcontroller or software involved, order of nanoseconds response time to the first sample
CV control for sound select allows playing various sounds at each step
CV control for Pitch and Dynamics
Gate control for Reset, Pause and sample Trigger
Can be clocked externally
Ability to play one shot samples or looped sounds to use it with perfectly looped waveforms as a wave oscillator
Comes with a software to make your own EPROMs
EPROM is accessible from the front with optional Luma-mu Reacharound extender module
Eurorack 10HP, 50mm depth

Luma-mu is available at https://www.deftaudio.com/
MSRP is $279."

6/14/25 (abhorrent) Roland System 100m + Metasonix R-54 + Zerosum Inertia Horripilation + (…)

video upload by Cfpp0

This is the first post to feature the Zerosum Inertia Horripilation.

"6/14/25 (abhorrent) Roland System 100m + Metasonix R-54 + Zerosum Inertia Horripilation + Peavey 1300 + Alesis MIDIVERB II

Some sludgy Sample & Hold. Pamela’s New Workout clocks the Roland System 100m 150 module’s S&H, which sends its clock out to the 140 envelope and its S&H out to both 110 VCOs, both 110 VCFs. The 140 envelope controls both 110 VCAs. The 150 LFO and the 140 LFO also modulate the VCFs on the two 110 modules. The upper 110 runs through the Zerosum Inertia Horripilation module, which is also modulated by the 150 S&H. The lower 110 runs through the Metasonix R-54, modulated by the 150 S&H signal. The R-54 runs through the Peavey 1300 and is panned center. The Horripilation signal is panned a bit left. Both signals receive some room reverb from the Alesis MIDIVERB II."

GS Music Bree6 // Small Simple and Sublime

video upload by Starsky Carr

https://www.gsmusic.com/

"Sound is everything... and the GS MUSIC Bree6 doesn't fail to deliver. There's an intangible quality to the tone of their synths. The GS MUSIC e7 bing their first offering, that bowled me off my feet when I first got my hands on it.

This was first announced in NAMM 2024, so it's took a while to get to me - and it was worth the wait. Its a single VCO 6 voice polysynth with a 24dB LP filter and all analog signal path ... so it's in the same ball park as Juno's except this is a VCO, not a DCO, and has a different flavour.

Importantly for a boutique synth manufacturer, this feels great to use - its got a knob per function interface thats so intuitive and easy to navigate you'll be an expert in minutes!"
