"Kevin of Chicago-based Żłob Modular gives us a tour of his latest modules. There is a prototype expander for their existing SVF Filter module; and the Trepanator, an analog “Bent by Design” experimental instrument featuring a Dual VCO, Difference Rectifier, 3-band EQ, Sample/Track and Hold, and SVF(state variable filter) all built into one nonlinear module.

Days of Yore - Echoic Drift


video upload by NOISEBUG

"The Echo Drift is the second tower shaped Reverb from the dynamic couple known as Days of Yore. Much like its taller tower relative (The Tower), the Echoic Drift is designed around a spring reverb tank. But not just any tank. The beautifully crafted wood structure houses the spring+effects. The springs in these units are hand selected, meticulously tuned to produce a dark lush resonant atmosphere for all audio signals. Echoic drift also provides users with an onboard echo unit which can be used as a kind of pre-delay, or be used creatively, rhythmically. The drifting element is a nice vibrato circuit. The vibrato is subtle, but when layered with the spring, echo and effects returns, proves to add a desirable layer of depth and movement.

Echoic Drift from Days of Yore offers a smaller version of their most towering spring reverb, delivering the same ethereal richness and spatialization of its taller sibling with a new dynamic echo effect onboard. Fitting comfortably in most studio spaces at just under nineteen inches tall, this comprehensive spring reverb and echo effect marries creative sound design with old world aesthetic appeal. While the physical craftsmanship of this Luxe Edition unit brings a touch of class to your studio or stage set-up, its expansive options for creating immersive spatialization effects impart a royal feast of sonic delights on any sound source.

In addition to the lovingly crafted and custom-designed spring tank, Echoic Drift offers uncompromising control over the lush reverberation the tank provides. With controls for wet and dry signal, input volume, pickup gain and drive, reverb compression, and output volume, it's easy to find any sort of reverb sound you need, from subtle depth to cavernous soundscapes. Create dynamic gated reverbs for impactful moments, with an adjustable three-stage envelope triggered by your input signal. Warble and bend tones with the vibrato rate and depth control, and add haunting echoes with the onboard delay effect. With its unconventionally attractive and nuanced design, Days of Yore's Echoic Drift offers a spring reverb effect that goes above and beyond to bathe signals in all sorts of analog beauty, bringing ear-catching reverb to any audio source.

"I love this track. I've been working on the cover for a very long time. Of course, it's still not perfect, but I don't suppose it ever could be :)

AudCalc, Zeptocore, Phantasmal Force, GREAT CONJUNCTION Micro Synth Coordination


video upload by Arman Bohn

"Let's get these little NOT-calculator devices together and see what happens!

The Phantasmal Force is just providing MIDI clock - which I'm feeding into the Zeptocore, GREAT CONJUNCTION and AudCalc to keep them all in sync.

The Zeptocore provides the chopped up drum breaks/loops. It can be found here: https://zeptocore.com/

GREAT CONJUNCTION adds melodic and percussive chaos.
My synths and devices can be found here:
https://distropolisgoods.com/

AudCalc is providing the underlying sequence (simple kick/snare, bass, and some melodic percussion and plucked string sounds).

I'll be posting just the AudCalc track later - for those curious about what it can do.

You can find the AudCalc here:
https://ko-fi.com/s/e4b28fd09f"



Audcalc is a pocket synthesizer and sequencer. It has 8 voices which can switch between synthesis (using mutable instruments braids cores) and sampling. The sequencer supports parameter locks, conditional triggers, and various time signatures and loop lengths. There are also two built in effects sends for building a full track. Its fun to jam with by itself, and can link into your larger portable music setup via midi or cv clock. Features: - 8 simultaneous synth or sampler voices, 16 midi outs - 16 sequencer channels - 16 patterns, supports pattern chaining for songs - channels can send to synthesizer, sampler or midi out - each voice has 2 assignable envelopes, LFO & filter - reverb & delay sends - sequencer supports midi clock sync or CV sync, both in and out - assembled by me & open source (open firmware, hardware, and enclosure)

NEGATIVE 5PACE (Ambient Cover) | Novation Peak, Octatrack

Novation Bass Station II Swifty


video upload by MKustomAudio

"The Bass Station II was the first Novation synth I purchased and, with my original unit wearing out, I decided to swap it with the new limited Swifty edition. Except for the end bass guitar and vocal elements, all sounds are from the Bass Station II with additional processing added in post. For the bass guitar and vocals, these were processed through the external in on the synth with the oscillators also being played alongside the vocal element."

I beleive this might be the first still / pic of the original box on the site.
