MACHINA BRISTRONICA w/ Stromkult


video uploads by Stromkult

Playlist:

1. MPE on Supercritical Synthesizer Redshift 6 - Bristonica 25
Now capable of MPE!

The latest Redshift update introduces MPE functionality.
This feature, which addresses frequent customer requests, enables compatibility with MPE-capable controllers, such as the LinnStrument.
2. Verbos Electronics Multistage 16- Bristronica 25
New evolution of the Voltage Multistage, one of the first Verbos Modules.
The original Voltage Multistage has an analog sequencer core with several unique features that allow it to function as a sequencer with switchable slides on each step, multistage envelope of any length with sustain on any stage, any shape of LFO, voltage quantizer, and more.

The Voltage Multistage 16 is no longer based on a CMOS counter core, but is built around discrete transistor stages, which enables gate inputs on each stage. This allows external gates to jump it to any stage, multiple loops and sequences that start at one stage and then enter into a loop later.
3. Ohm Force Bohm - Bristronica 25
Explore uncharted kick territory. Choose from nine unique models (and counting) and let the randomizer surprise your creativity. Precision sound-shaping knobs with wide sweet spots make flawless tweaks effortless.
4. TouellSkouarn - Bristronica 25
Gael is revealing the modules that are currently housed in his suitcase. Including the Strakal Brulu and the one and only Germanium Mixer. If you check the prices of old Germanium mixers, such as the Siemens, you will see that this one is a real bargain. As always, there is a lovely sound at his booth; no sine is allowed to pass through this Eurorack system.

5. Crosspatch Triggerpad Updates - Launchpad Sequencer - Bristronica 25
Mitja tells us the latest news about his module at this year's Machina Bristonica. The Triggerpad module converts your Launchpad into a standalone Eurorack. This allows you to repurpose an older Launchpad that might be gathering dust for your Eurorack system. The workflow is super simple and hands-on. You have features such as polymeter per track, swing and micro steps at your fingertips. The new features are BPM modulation and triplets.
6. UDO Audio DMNO 8-voice 2-part multitimbral - Bristonica 25
We have just had the opportunity to take a first look at the new, innovative synth from UDO Audio: the DMNO.
Here's a short interview and sound demo from George!

Features:
8 voice polyphonic, with 4 ‘super’ voices when in Binaural mode. Binaural mode gives each channel (ear) a full synthesizer voice with independent detuning and modulation, creating an expansive, rich and texturally wide sound 2-Part Multitimbral, comprising 2 independent hybrid synthesizers, each with its own dedicated set of front-panel controls
8 selectable ‘Play Modes’ that immediately reconfigure DMNO’s signal flow, redefining how its two independent synth engines interact with one another
7. Teaching Machines FuzzBillon: Numerical Tone Switching – Bristronica 25
Instead of using potentiometers for the device's settings, Teaching Machines uses numerical switches. This offers the advantage of total recall. The effects range from subtle overdrive to screaming distortion and are based on a completely analogue circuit with amplification devices from Germanium to Silicon and light-emitting diodes.

Playlist:

1. - 4. ERICA SYNTHS HEXDRUMS 01 - 04 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS
I got to spend some quality time with the Hexdrums - it sounds really beefy and each voice has a tonne of sweet spots. The Hexdrums has loads of saturation available, is built to a high standard and feels very performative. This is the first of four videos.

Check out my samples on Bandcamp - loads of vintage and modern drum machines and more, all samples ethically-sourced and locally-grown here in the lab in Bristol, UK: https://lostlvls.bandcamp.com/
5. ERICA SYNTHS PERKONS HD-01 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS
The formidable Perkons HD-01 was available at Machina Bristronica - how could I resist? For my money the Perkons is the most 'jammable' and gratifying drum machine on the market, hands-down. The person using it before filming this session was dancing and really enjoying their time with it. Was a joy to witness!
6. MODOR DR-2 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS
The excellent DR-2 drum machine from Modor aka Marcel Belmans. Was a treat to finally meet Marcel and discuss his creations. In this video Marcel kindly demonstrated the DR-2 for us.
7. BODY SYNTHS METAL FETISHIST x2 // MACHINA BRISTRONICA '25 // LØSTLVLS
Been wanting to check this little weirdo out for some time - two is even better!

Progress on the Teensy TDM synth


video upload by Craig Barnes

"Latest update of the Teensy 4.1 based audio library synth. I've ditched the hardware envelopes because they lacked real-time control and only changed on a fresh key press, so now the Electric Druid Envgen8c chips are back in their sockets on envelope duty. I've opted for log envelopes although I think the AS2164 has a lin/log converter, I need to check."

"Still Life In Mobile Homes (PlantsSystem ReEdit)
Originally 'Still Life In Mobile Homes' by UK band JAPAN, PlantsSystem has re-edited this delicate, introspective track with a unique interpretation, giving it a new texture.

This album was produced and mastered entirely using the tracker-type DAW 'Renoise' resulting in a sound born from a thoroughly minimalist environment.

The album is imbued with deep respect for Steve Nye, the engineer behind JAPAN classic album 'Tin Drum' and his influence is evident in the meticulous sonic balance and atmospheric feel.

While retaining the tension and space of the original, the album is reinterpreted with the crisp clarity and spaciousness that only digital can provide. This classic song takes on a new face.

Mother Global Settings Editor for the Moog Grandmother and Matriarch by DIRE Studio



via DIRE Studio

"The proper Grandmother and Matriarch editor has landed.

Mother Global Settings is an intuitive editor for Moog's Grandmother and Matriarch synthesizers. Sporting a 500-series rack inspired control-per-function interface, it's a huge improvement over the quirky global settings editing method of these instruments.
For Mac and iPad.

Supports the creative flow.

Each setting is accessible with two clicks/taps at maximum, allowing you to concentrate on creating your music. Actual values are instantly visible on the screen, which may also prevent a disaster by letting you see output voltage levels. And we have added octave buttons to easily set and check keyboard transposition, as well as a sequence selector override for the Matriarch, letting you quickly switch to any sequence — not just adjacent ones.

Expanded control panel.

Separate items for oscillator frequency ranges on the Matriarch. Fine grained control over MIDI output and local control. Extra glide toggle and arp/seq gate length settings managed by the app. And a panic button in case the synth goes rebel.

Presets.

Save all global settings, as well as our extra settings, into files that you can archive with other project material or share with others. Quickly recall them when needed. And of course you can reset all settings to factory defaults.

Keyboard control.

Keyboard shortcuts for settings affecting synthesizer parameters that you may wish to change during live performance or recording: Gate Length, Swing, FW/BW End Note Repeat, Allow Seq Random Repeat, Delay Seq Change, Pitch Variance, Gated Glide, Legato Glide, Paraphonic Unison, Update Unison on Note-Off, Noise Filter Cutoff, Delay Filter Brightness and Multi Trig.

Equally at home on stage and in the studio.

Direct USB connection for the fastest operation and complete auto-detection — perfect for live performance. 5-pin MIDI support for connecting via MIDI interfaces — and even through MIDI routers — allows you to integrate the app into complex studio setups."

The Analog Eclipse | KORG minilogue xd | Dark to Rock One-Synth-Jam


video upload by Lo-fi Pask

"Even though I’ve got dozens of unfinished projects on my trusty Teenage Engineering OP-XY (some of them almost ready) I felt the need to break the cycle. I had the sense I was starting to repeat myself. So I turned to one of my favorite analog synths, the KORG minilogue xd, looking for a patch that could spark something new. And from that came this track… though I’m still not sure what exactly it is.

As usual, the atmosphere is dark, but halfway through it unexpectedly takes on a rock-inspired twist before returning to its original mood. I even tried reworking the idea on the OP-XY to make it more polished (and complex), but in the end I decided to record it raw—exactly as it came to me.

Hope you enjoy it. I plan to explore this same process on other synths as well. Let me know in the comments if this journey through analog synth sound design intrigues you.

Gears/Sounds Used:
