"Masami Komuro présente les 2 synthétiseurs de Kodamo:

l'Essence FM Mk2, un puissant synthé FM 6 opérateurs, 300 voix de polyphonie et multitimbral 16 parts, doté d'une interface tactile super réactive, permettant d'agence les opérateurs FM par glisser/déposer, dessiner ses enveloppes, etc...en offrant des affichages dynamiques. Jamais la FM n'a été aussi simple à programmer.

Le Mask 1 est un synthétiseur numérique haut de gamme doté d'un nouveau moteur de synthèse BitMask. Polyphonique 12 voix et multitimbral 4 parts, avec un filtre multimode, il est doté d'un excellent clavier Fatar, d'effet, d'un arpégiateur et d'un looper."

Roland Juno 106 and Roland JX-3P Mini Horror Movie Soundtrack

video upload by Suspect Media

"After testing out the Juno-106 and JX-3P in the demo, I was curious how they'd fit into a track. So, I put together a mini soundtrack for an imaginary horror movie. It’s been raining all week, so I guess I was in the mood for a slow, atmospheric vibe."

Mehr Music Machines Stereoplex - Dual Sequential Switch/Stereo Line Switcher

video upload by Adam

"The stereo plex is a fully analog voltage controllable stereo line switch and dual sequential switch. Both channels (left and right) are bi-directional, meaning you can configure one section as 1 input/4 output, or 4 input/1 output. Because the switch is analog, you can patch in audio, cv, triggers/gates or any combination of the above. Both left and right channels share a common clock (switch-advance) and resets option. Additionally, the right channel has a normal connection to the left channel for easy mono-to-stereo conversion or 1:2 multiple.

Patch example: try patching two separate modulation sources into the top I/o jacks, now take the 4 o/i jacks (per side) and patch the signals into eight different destinations across your system."

Mehr Music Machines OneShot+

Follow-up to OneShot featured here. Check with dealers on the right for availability.

Oneshot+ 8HP

One part LFO, one part envelope generator, full voltage control.

Expanding on the original Oneshot module, Oneshot+ adds full voltage control over every parameter. There is now also an inverted output in addition to the standard non-inverting output. A built-in comparator scans the main output and sends a gate/pulse signal to the pulse output. This is an excellent source of gate bursts for triggering drums. Finally, there is an inverted pulse for further rhythmic exploration.

Press the touchpad to manually trigger the Oneshot+

HWJ Weekend Challenge - SLFB (Korean 'Gugak')

"Loosely based on Korean Gugak (classical music) in a pentatonic scale, this adds the necessary elements of the challenge: 4 things - staccato, legato, fortissimo, & bellissimo."

West Coast Synthesis

Patch notes via the 4ms MetaModule forum:

External Audio Path:
-Audio main output on ch. 1 and ch. 2

Internal Audio Path:
-Two VCOs are entangled with their audio outputs mapped to one another’s FM inputs.
-Each oscillator then goes into its own wavefolder.
-The wavefolder’s both have a dedicated lowpass gate.
-The low pass gates are fed into a VCA for volume modulation
-Each VCA is then sent into a stereo mixer
-The stereo mix feeds into two spring reverb units for Left and Right.
-A limiter is placed on the output for master volume control and clip protection

Internal CV Path:
-Free running random voltage generators are fed into a dedicated CV mixer for each VCO.
-The random voltage amount and crossmodulation are mixed with another to create a 1v/octave signal for the VCOs.
-The trigger outputs of each random voltage generator ping the lowpass gates.
-The random voltages go into a full wave rectifier and are used as CV signals for the two VCAs: this creates random volume fluctuations for each channel.

Metamodule knob mappings:
A - VCO 1 Frequency
B - VCO 2 Frequency
C - VCO 1 Random CV
D - VCO 2 Random CV
E - Random rate 1
F - Random rate 2
U - Random 1 crossmodulation
V - Random 2 crossmodulation
W - VCO crossmodulation
X - Wavefold
Y - Decay time
Z - Random shape
