"This tiny, easy to build midicontroller got an upgrade and learned some new tricks!"

You might remember Midimalism from this previous post.

Beetlecrab Tempera meets Novation Mininova sounds - sonic chaos!

video upload by hirundo1984

"Alright, there are nearly endless possibilities of exploring various sounds and creating something new. This might be a very interesting combo."

Beetlecrab Tempera - after 3 days of using it

video upload by hirundo1984

"I recently received my unit from Beetlecrab and was super excited about it! At this moment I'm still learning the very basics, trying to figure out what is what, how do things work etc.

There are things that I find pretty straightforward, others are still confusing. Overall, the menu diving isn't bad at all, most of the things are pretty intuitive.

What is new to me (that's my first granular device) is how exactly do these emitters work, I will need to spend some time with the manual. They all behave differently.

Anyway, so that's one of my first attempts to create something on this wonderful device. Hopefully within next week or two I can learn a thing or two and come up with something different."

Creating Loops with Granular Sounds | Intellijel Multigrain, Sealegs and Swells

video upload by Intellijel

"With some simple patching, you can create loops and rhythms with Multigrain to accompany your beats - ranging from MPC-style chops to time-stretched samples. This video explores some of the possibilities at a simple level, which have the potential for developing into more complex patches.

The Strangest, Most Interesting Synth He's Played This Year (Morphor Echon6)

video upload by Starsky Carr

"The Morphor Echon6 is the world's first analog modal polysynth — a genuine departure from the wall of subtractive synths flooding the market right now. In this review and demo I dig into its Karplus-Strong-based exciter and resonator, six voices you can split into six independent monosynths, and a modulation system so intuitive it doesn't need a menu. Full raw demo at the end so you can hear it completely unprocessed.

WHAT IS MODAL SYNTHESIS?
Modal synthesis uses a Karplus-Strong oscillator — an exciter (like a pluck, bow, or hammer) run through a resonator (like a string or instrument body) — to fake physical, plucked/struck sounds. First proposed by Kevin Karplus and Alexander Strong back in 1982, you'll recognise the concept from modules like Mutable Instruments Plaits, Rings and Braids, and digital oscillators in synths like the Arturia MiniFreak and Korg Minilogue XD. The Echon6 takes that same idea and builds it entirely in analog circuitry — as far as I know, the first synth to pull that off.

MY TAKE
The Echon6 is a genuinely fresh alternative to the current glut of subtractive synths — your Jupiters, Junos, Prophets, and OB-style clones. It felt natural within minutes, the modulation is some of the cleverest I've used on any hardware synth, and the build quality is excellent. Compared to the Erica Synths Steampipe (digital modal synthesis), the Echon6 is easier to learn, while the Steampipe can get more chaotic, faster, thanks to its distortion and reverb. Both are worth a look if experimental modal synthesis is your thing — but the Echon6 gets a big thumbs up from me.

GEAR MENTIONED
Morphor Echon6 (analog modal polysynth, reviewed here)
Erica Synths Steampipe (digital modal synth, comparison)
