DSI Tempest - Why Did I Buy This Thing...
video upload by Noir Et Blanc Vie - After Hours
"I’m going to keep just making grooves on my groove box lol. I think this is why I’m not really considered part of “gear tube” I keep with the stuff I’ve been using forever and ever. I do like gear peeps, don’t get me wrong, but I think you’d be better off just diving heavily into two instruments. Call them “instruments” too. When you call them “gear” it removes the fact that you’re 'playing' something. Give the instruments their creative intention back lol. Dave Smith Tempest is still the best. Groovebox lord."

Can I get an ambient sequence out of the SOMA Rumble of Ancient Times glitch synth
video upload by Lo-Fi-Si
"RoAT - SOMA Rumble of Ancient Times
Walrus Audio Qi Etherealizer
Quick jam with the RoAT to see if I can take a glitchy, lofi sequence and make it sound heavenly with a big dose of effects. Big atmosphere at 1:06.
Combining Chorus, Delay, Granular, Reverb. Switching between the lower octave and higher octave granular modes to get some variation and depth.
I love building a sequence in the RoAT. I think it’s a great piece of kit and has huge functionality for the price."

Noise Engineering announces Case of Steel, a 64 HP Eurorack Skiff with Busboard Power and Mults

Press release follows:
Noise Engineering announces Case of Steel, a 64 HP Eurorack Skiff with Integrated Busboard Power and Mults
Los Angeles, CA — Noise Engineering, known for their versatile Eurorack modules, has released Case of Steel, a skiff designed to house and power 64 HP of Eurorack modules.
While Noise Engineering has spent the last decade creating innovative modules, this is their first time releasing a standalone case. And while the market for cases large and small has grown significantly, Noise Engineering’s design still stands out with some innovative design choices and unique construction.
As the name implies, the case is made entirely of steel, with mounting holes tapped directly into the steel frame. This ensures that modules stay put, and the weight of the case keeps it in place while in use, despite its compact size. A pair of passive mults installed on the bottom of the case aids in patching, and saves HP in a small system. And while some skiffs are particularly shallow, Case of Steel offers over 2” of depth for modules, housing all but the deepest Eurorack designs for unmatched flexibility.
Case of Steel also features an integrated power supply. A power switch on the back of the case turns on the system, and power is delivered via a real busboard installed under the row of mults – no flying bus cables here. Despite the case’s compact size, the power specs are no joke: two zones of +12V offering 850mA each, plus 750mA of -12V and 1A of +5V. In a 64 HP system, it’ll be difficult to reach those limits. Case of Steel has a built-in power switch, and ships with a power brick, too.
For the production of Case of Steel, Noise Engineering worked with a metal fabricator near their headquarters, showing off the awesome capabilities of the Los Angeles maker community.
Due to the complexity of distribution, coupled with its unique materials and design, a limited run of just 90 cases has been produced, and will be sold exclusively through Noise Engineering’s web shop.
Case of Steel is a robust and powerful solution for Eurorack synthesists, no matter where they are in their journey.
Case of Steel begins shipping on February 19th only at https://noiseengineering.us.

• Black powder coated steel design: solid case stays put while you patch

All 4 channels sounds the same and has the same parameters (sensitive, decya, sweep, VCO, volume, panorama).
2 audio channels has Treble/Bass/Effect/Volume/Panorama
There is no NOISE knobs (for snare and hihats)
There is one AUX (for 2 audio channels).
4 mysterious knobs on front of the machine (i have no idea what they do)
** Polish**
bardzo rzadki perkusyjny syntezator HOT ED-42
Posiada 4 wejścia wyjścia Gate/Audio które wzbudzają VCO (nie brzmią perkusyjnie, bardziej basowo, melodyjnie - brak NOISE do snarów lub hihatów)
2 wejscią audio (audio może być z zewnątrz lub mogą wychodzić OUTami z ed42)
1 wejście AUX.
1 wyjście stereo(lub mono)
4 gałki na froncie, z przodu instrumentu - nie mam pojęcia co robią)
to chyba pierwszy filmik tego syntezatora na YT. Więc niech leci w świat.
