The Stylosette Keys by Dubreq
video upload by Musical Miscellany & More
"Dubreq released the Stylosette last year but I'm just now getting around to buying one. I'm not sure why it took me so long but here's a quick overview of the Sytlosette Keys and what it can do.

The Stylosette is the latest addition to our Pocket-sized Analog synthesizer range. It’s a monophonic mini analog synth that looks like a cassette and comes in a cool retro cassette storage case for batteries, clips, a screwdriver and cables, which are all included. It also has a built-in speaker, aux out, and an expansion port.
Use the crocodile clips provided to trigger sounds using conductive objects such as fruits, vegetables, or spoons! The Stylosette has a 13-key touch-sensitive keyboard and is played by sliding your finger along the touch-sensitive metal surface, so no need for a Stylus.
Each segment on the synthesizer keyboard plays a different note, so you can create rich, dynamic music with delay effects, vibrato, and a three-octave range.
Change the speed, depth, and delay with the screwdriver accessory to customize your sound. Even connect to another Stylosette. Buzz, twist, and warp every note in the palm of your hand – anywhere.
It’s an excellent gift for both musicians and beginners alike. All you need to do is insert batteries, turn it on, touch the keypad, and make some noise!

"This work uses a runaway noise generator from Hikari Instruments / Duos as the main source. This extreme signal was passed through the external input of the legendary 1970s Yamaha CS-10, and then thoroughly deconstructed and reconstructed using filter modulation.
The unpredictable chaos of the Duos and the sharp yet sticky analog filter of the CS-10 resonate with each other, creating a dry, tense acoustic space reminiscent of the 'Dead Zone' suggested by the title.
The critical point of electricity. Listen to the texture."

1. CITADEL ALCHEMIST & Kastle 2+Citadel DIY Kits & more NEWS from Bastl!
We built a fantasy world of magical music machines with the FX Wizard multi-effect, the Wave Bard sample player and the Alchemist synth that live in battery powered Kastle 2 format and the Citadel eurorack version. We are excited to not only announce the late arrival of the Citadel Alchemist Eurorack module to the party, but to let everyone know that all the instruments are now available as DIY kits and that we are partially open-sourcing it so the world we started could be expanded by many others."2.

Alchemist is now EURORACK... into the CITADEL!!!!!
So here we go checking out how this synth engine will play out with his other citadel friend the Wave Bard in breakbeat torture mode.
Also a cool oportunity to play around the Diktaat from Mzourack to trigger both units in a performative way.
Citadel Alchemist is a patchable hybrid-synthesis based eurorack module that empowers you in discovering melodies and even harmonies despite being monophonic.
Patch programmable sequencing via the control signals into the two PITCH MOD inputs opens up a world of melodic inspiration beyond classic arpeggios while staying in your preferred SCALE.
5 synthesis modes
The Alchemist has a carefully tuned wide timbral range spanning across 5 synthesis modes (FILTER, FM, HYPERSINE, SUPERSAW and GLITCHNOISE) accessed by main TIMBRE sweep that is refined by the RATIO control.
The ENV macro knob affects different parts of the synth and sequencing engine to maximize musicality and it even lets you continually morph between the synthesis modes and access truly unique sounds.
The timbral palette is further extended by the dual FX section which offers either a wide delay that will smear the arpeggios into echoed harmonies or a chorus-flanger-distortion-combfilter macro custom tuned for each synth mode.
You can also access gliding rubber textures with the PITCH SLIDE macro that applies pitch envelope and portamento.
You can customize its rhythms and scales with the web-based editor.
Modulate anything
All main parameters can be modulated and tightly sequenced by the surprisingly powerful CV and GATE pattern generator. Create groovy off-grid beats using the built-in LFO, which can be synced, reset, or left to run freely.

OBNE Parting // An Innovative Approach to Lo-Fi Effects

"Parting is a box of pleasant surprises. Moments of chance will give bursts of a glitch delay that can smear into a reverb, modulated by tremolo or vibrato, filtered, and, most importantly, dissolved into lofi aliasing or stretched out reverse. All of this may jump around in halves and octaves of itself - it’s up to you and Parting, together.
Controls
Dissolve has two functions. Below noon, it reduces sample rate, creating an increasingly degraded version of the signal. Above noon, it reverses the signal, and repeatedly cuts the reverse clock in half as the knob is turned, creating an increasingly long and degraded reverse.
Rate sets the rate of the modulation LFO, which is also the frequency of triggers for moments of chance.
Depth sets the depth of the LFO.
Shape sets the LFO shape: Sine, Square, Reverse Saw, Saw, Random Sine, Random Square, Envelope
Chance allows random bits of signal to enter the delay/reverb buffer during an LFO cycle.
Smear adds diffusion and feedback to the delay lines, turning them into a lush reverb as the knob is turned up.
Glitch creates various clock subdivisions.
Time sets the timing of the delay/reverb, as well as the reverse.
Filter sets the cutoff point of the post-dissolve filter.
Mix sets the blend of dry and wet signal.
Aux switch for tap tempo, half speed, or preset switching.
Soft-touch On/Off footswitch with relay switching for minimal switch noise"
