Two cinematic songs performed live on the GS Bree6 and Walrus Qi, with orchestration added afterward in the box.

Thank you SO MUCH to the incredible ‪@devinbelangermusic‬ (aka Miles Away) for lending me the Bree6. I had so much fun with it that I started pricing out getting one myself!

The Bree6 is a six-voice analog polysynth, relatively simple in its architecture but with fantastic sound. It has a lot of features going for it, in my opinion, including great oscillators, very nice stereo spread, small form factor, and a panel mode. I dialled in some sounds extremely fast and got lost in the music making.

I was so lost, in fact, that I didn't even bother to try and show off the variety of this synth. Instead, I wanted to emphasize what I liked about it: I was writing music on it right away. Hopefully that inspiration comes through, and hopefully you can find other great videos (like Devin's) to hear the wider range of the synth.

Arrangements were written using some Spitfire strings (Cells, and BBC Orchestra), as well as some interesting sounds from Teletone Audio's 'simplesizer' line (e.g. Le Gibet).

Thanks for listening.

The Head Banger is Pure Sonic Destruction

video upload by Metamyther

"The Head Banger Eurorack distortion module is a raw, aggressive tool designed for pushing sounds to their absolute limit. This brutal distortion module delivers crushing overdrive and a send/return that can feedback, ensuring explosive walls of sound. The Head Banger adds a unique, high-voltage character that cuts through any mix. Perfect for any system that needs to hit hard."

via Setonix Synth

"The HEAD BANGER Heavy Metal Distortion brings the authentic “chainsaw” sound made famous by the Swedish Death Metal scene to your Eurorack synthesizer! This tonal monster conjures an unholy union between high-quality VCA circuitry and the most legendary distortion circuit in Heavy Metal!

The HEAD BANGER (a collaboration between SetonixSynth and Robots Are Red) gives the modular-based metalhead total control over a wide range of tone parameters: a three-band EQ with 20dB of boost/cut per band, Distortion amount, plus bass boost (Doom) and soft limiting (Crush) switches. These controls will faithfully recreate the classic compressed, grinding Gothenburg sound when fully “dimed,” but they can also provide a great range of saturation reminiscent of 4-track tape and vintage consumer mixers at other settings.

So, users pursuing more mellow sounds need not fret: despite its “heavy metal” tag, the Head Banger offers a fantastic range of distortion flavors perfect for subtly or un-subtly “"warming up” just about any sound that dares approach its input.

But if you thought Jack (Setonix) and Brian (RAR) would simply emulate a famous pedal and call it a day, you would be gravely mistaken! The Head Banger is fully optimized for use with your drums, oscillators, filters and other modular audio effects. It offers full CV control over Input Gain, Feedback amount with Send/Return loop, and Dry/Wet mix. This allows the user to create a dense web of sound and selectively re-integrate it with the original input signal in a number of interesting ways.

With the arrival of the Head Banger, Eurorack users finally have access to the most highly regarded distortion circuit in aggressive music. And now it has more CV control and synth-friendliness than ever! For anyone with a love of harsh, heavy, and/or distorted sounds, the Head Banger is a must-have!"

Brooklyn Synth & Pedal Expo Returns on October 18/19

Details follow:

The Brooklyn Synth & Pedal Expo announces its return on October 18th and 19th, transforming the stylish 6,000-square-foot warehouse at 100 Sutton in Greenpoint into an immersive playground for electronic music creators. Once again presented in partnership with the legendary Three Wave Music, the Expo offers a unique, strictly in-the-headphones experience for attendees to interactively demo the latest synthesizers, effects pedals, and modular gear in a noise-friendly environment.

Nestled in one of Brooklyn's most vibrant musical corridors, the show is expected to draw over 1,500 musicians, producers, and gear enthusiasts. The 2024 Expo expands its programming to include educational workshops alongside its large exhibition floor.

Built for Discovery
This is an event built for discovery, and the headphone format creates a respectful space where you can truly hear the nuances of a boutique pedal or get lost in a massive modular patch without the noise of a typical convention. It's a focused, community-driven experience.

Kanawha Music and Art: Long Division 2 & Filternator - #Knobcon

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We check out the new modules from West-Virginia-based Kanawha Music and Art. Long Division 2 is a classic polyphonic divide-down voice reminiscent of the electronic organs and string machines of the 1960s and 1970s. The Filternator is a filter module based on the resonators found in 1940s Hammond organs.

Filternator

video uploads by Kanawha Music

Playlist:

1. "Filternator" module introduction

A no-talking introduction to our new module. Is it a Filter? Is it a Resonator? Yes...with a difference.

2. Filternator Stereo demo- no talking

Using two Filternator modules in parallel for stereo and the cool sounds you can make.

3. Filternator Drum & Guitar

What happens when you run a drum machine or a guitar through this module? Let's find out.

Filternator

"Is it a filter? Is it a resonator? Is it a filter bank? Yes- the new Filternator module is all of the above…with a difference. When developing the module and hearing how it treated signals, it was obviously filtering, but with high resonant peaks that were stronger than the incoming signal, at which point it was resonating up a storm. So what to call it? It’s resonating as much as it’s filtering, so we called it the Filternator!

It’s simplicity itself to use: plug your audio in the input, and the output goes to whatever you like down your signal chain. Use the wet/dry mix knob to control the amount of “filternated” signal you’d like to hear. Then comes the fun part: chose a mode, and start messing around with the switches. There’s a choice of three switches for the capacitors, and three switches for the coils used in the circuit. They can be used in any combination to set the filter frequencies and resonant peaks. If you like, automate the mix control with an external CV source. The one thing you don’t do is power it up…except for the external control voltage for the wet/dry mix, it’s completely passive! But unlike other passive filters, this design doesn’t drag down your signal level with resistors in the circuit, because there aren’t any. By using inductors instead, the signal doesn’t get attenuated as it does in a standard passive filter. Instead, it will actually boost signal levels as it nears the resonance peak.

Talk about skiff friendly, not only does it not take any power, but it’s nice and slim, just 12mm deep behind the (nice and thick aluminum) faceplate."
