"released October 11, 2024

This collection is an ode to friendship, connection, and the sheer love for music.

Árni Grétar, also known as Futuregrapher, has been a beacon of light and dedication to his craft, channeling it through the most captivating forms of electronica while bringing together a stellar community of like-minded flair from around the planet.

His boundless drive is an inspiration to many.

2024 has proven to be a transformative and challenging year for our dear friend, yet the fire of his labels, personal productions, and collaborations has never dimmed.

Through this music, we wish mostly to express our friendship and gratitude to Árni for all the magic he consistently brings into the world.

All proceeds from this compilation will go directly to Árni to help with unexpected expenses in the times ahead."

1. Bristronica 24: MyVolts The Silent Alchemist Nears Shipping

We caught up with Caroline who gave us the latest update to the *Silent Alchemist*, a versatile power hub designed for musicians. Featuring five isolated USB-C outputs and a high-wattage sixth output capable of delivering 100 watts, the device can power a Mac with the remaining outputs providing 20 watts each. Its independent circuits ensure noise-free operation, catering to a variety of devices including the Dreadbox module and Sysmo slope generator.

The Silent Alchemist uses innovative step-up power tips to convert USB-C input to the correct voltage for various devices. There's also new feature: an uninterruptible power supply allowing seamless transition between wall and power bank sources. Also introduced were updated cables, such as silver candy cords and floating ring TRS to TS cables, expanding connection flexibility. The Silent Alchemist is expected to be available in December with a competitive pricing strategy.

2. Bristronica 24: Circuit Happy ML2M Clock Sync module updates

At Bristronica 2024, we caught up with the creator of the *ML2M*, who introduced us to the latest version. The ML2M is a compact Eurorack module with Wi-Fi capabilities, allowing seamless synchronization with Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, and iOS music apps using Ableton Link without the need for cables. It either connects to an existing network or creates its own, ensuring robust sync even in environments with unreliable Wi-Fi. The module, which retains its 2HP size, now features MIDI integration through TRS jacks. Users can access a web interface to configure each output for different clock divisions and reset triggers, making setup straightforward and flexible.

Alongside the ML2M, there's also the Missing Link Junior. This desktop version offers the same functionality but in a box format, complete with MIDI and CV clock outputs. Both products are now accessible, with a starting price of $250.

3. Bristronica 24: Archaea Exchange Patching Module

At Machina Bristronica 2024, we caught up with Arran from ‪@archaea_modular_synthesis‬ who presented the *Exchange Module*. This programmable patcher, a year in the making, evolved from its early prototype stage to a fully functional module. Arran explained how the Exchange can route synth voices via a beam controller and three exchange modules installed within the skiff, allowing for versatile patching. Operating like a matrix patchbay, it enables users to select inputs and outputs with the push of a button, create presets, and chain multiple modules for synchronized patching.

Communication between the modules occurs over the Eurorack power bus as well as over MIDI via the USB-C connection. The Exchange maintains analog integrity, ensuring there’s no conversion latency. The forthcoming release expected in late November 2024, includes a USB-driven editor for enhanced control capabilities.

ectocore + distortion

video upload by infinitedigits

"ectocore with a short piece of melodic sample, heavily distorted.

without CV, the "amen" knob is like a mini rungler sequencer. turning it selects different random step sequences- here it has selected a 6 step sequence. turning the amen attenuator (without cv) adds in stepped randomness, creating more variety in the 6-step pattern.

turning the break knob adds random effects (here I think there is reverse and delay).

everything is going into https://crey.space 'bib' 1u module (don't @ me for my wiring lol) and then into the "crest" module. lots of stereo reverb + distortion + saturation."
