Korg Monologue Song - The Overlapped

Published on Sep 27, 2017 Oscillator Sink

"I thought it might be fun to put together some songs where the Korg Monologue was the sole sound source - this is the first one I've finished. Everything you hear is coming from the Monologue (including the drums). The track is a bit of an experiment in overlapping musical figures and involved a *lot* of live knob tweaking on the Korg.

It was really good fun to make, so I hope you enjoy listening to it!

Buchla 259e Twisted Waveform Generator Comes to Software

Published on Sep 27, 2017 Published on Sep 27, 2017

"Get your free 20-day trial license here: http://softu.be/buchla_259e

✮ Buchla 259e is the first ever officially licensed Buchla plug-in. The equally unique and desirable dual oscillator—with a truly twisted circuitry—is available as an expansion to Softube's Modular ✮"

"The Buchla 259e Twisted Waveform Generator plug-in for Modular features all the digital waveshaping, aliasing noise and foldover frequencies of the original hardware. Enjoy the self-modifying, screeching, snarling responses from the original’s downright odd inner workings. The 259e is a unique addition to the Modular ecosystem.

'Coming from a staunch, obsessive analog Buchla tradition I was skeptical about a virtual 259e. But Softube has knocked it out of the park.'

Todd Barton, Buchla Legend

What Is a Twisted Waveform Generator Anyways?
The 259e consists of two separate oscillators—Principal and Modulation—where Modulation can be used either to modulate the Principal oscillator or as a separate generator of audible notes. Furthermore, the sine wave generated by the Principal oscillator is simultaneously applied to two of the eight available waveshape tables. A morph voltage pans between the two tables and a warp voltage varies the amplitude of the sinusoidal (driving) waveform. Both these functions can be modulated by the Modulation oscillator.

'Three years ago I purchased a Buchla Easel and it really changed the way I compose my music. The Softube Buchla 259e makes me not miss my Easel too much while travelling.'

Andreas Tilliander, Producer, DJ, remixer and artist.

Here's Where it Gets Really Twisted
Three of the waveshape tables are actually not tables in the classical sense—they are simply portions of the 259e operating program, full of unpredictable noise and frequent silences. This is the innovative Mem Skew mode, possibly the most unique feature of the Buchla 259e. When these tables are selected, the FM controls are re-assigned to table scanning functions and the FM inputs become table modulators.

To sum it up, while the Buchla 259e can certainly be used for more traditional sounds, it excels at creating otherworldly twisted digital sonic landscapes. Which is why it is one of the most coveted synth modules on the market.

Digitakt as a polyphonic Granular Synth

Published on Sep 27, 2017 Scott Campbell

"I’m using the Dispatcher app on a Midigal (https://midisizer.com/midigal/) to combine all 8 tracks for polyphony. The same sample is loaded onto each track. The Start, Length, and Loop Position are all set to different points in each track. Each track’s lfo modulates start time (all lfos running at different speeds). This creates a pseudo granular effect"

Reon Driftboxes SE, J, and W

REON drift boxパフォーマンス Published on Mar 9, 2016

Note the video above is from March in 2016, so these are not technically new. Reon gear tends to be promoted via Japanese channels. As you can see their website is primarily in Japanese only.  They also do a bit of one off and customized gear. Check out the pink one!

Previously featured Reon driftboxes included the driftbox S, S ver II, R, Q, V, E, C, T, and G announced here, back in 2013. There were also modular versions and a Roland branded DriftBox R model announced in 2015. You can find demos and pics via the Reon label here.

BTW, the different spellings and capitalizations I'm using for Driftbox is on purpose. Roland branded it DriftBox with a capital D and B, and Reon interchanges between driftbox, all lowercase, and Driftbox with the capital D. I have also seen it as Drift Box.

That said, not featured here on MATRIXSYNTH before now, are the driftbox SE, J, and W. The following are some details Google translated from Reon.

Tiptop Audio Fold Processor Eurorack Wavefolder & Divider

Published on Sep 26, 2017 Perfect Circuit Audio

"This video shows some of the sounds that can be created by folding and dividing simple sine waves with the TipTop Audio Fold Processor eurorack module.

The Fold Processor from Tiptop Audio is a wavefolder, or wave multiplier complete with voltage control. Along with this is a sub-octave generator capable of providing /1, /2, /4, /8 subdivisions, all of which are mixed out of the Subdiv Output. The wave folder section can take clean sine and triangle waves and morph them into beefy and rich waveshapes unlike any other. The output of the sub-octave generator provides all squarewaves. For getting timbres that no sawtooth can create, the Fold Processor is there.

Lyra-8 by SOMA synths - First Impressions

Published on Sep 26, 2017 martinjazz78

"Warning: audio track of this video contains very rich harmonic content. It makes no sense to listen to this without good speakers or good headphones. If you are using headphones, please be very careful about the volume level and expect everything to get even worse for your ears towards the end of the video.

These are my very first moments with the one and only Lyra-8 by SOMA synths. Although I am very far from only lightly mastering this mighty instrument, I have to say it's absolutely awesome and incredibly inspiring synth and I am totally woved by the sounds Lyra produces.

For the one interested in logistic details, I got on the waiting list in August last year, so I waited 13 months for my Lyra. My unit was assembled in Poland and I have to say the quality of their is absolutely impeccable and absolutely professional.

Regarding this short video, Lyra-8 plays together with Polivoks Pro (modern reissue of classic Soviet synthesizer). This was of course the must first thing to put these two synths together. Both synths are processed through Strymon Big Sky for reverb. I didn't plan any filming and recording tonight, so camera is my cell phone only. Sound is stereo output from my Motu interface into Ableton Live. Video was edited in Final Cut.

Enjoy and mind your ears ;)"

"We've created the Circuit v1.6 firmware update using most-requested features, bringing the community’s imagining of the Circuit sequencer, synth and sampler to life.

Our users are awesome, they're always coming up with new ideas. Using the most requested features of the Circuit Owners group and other websites, we bring the community’s imagining of the Circuit sequencer, synth and sampler to life. Circuit v1.6 is the latest firmware update that we've created.

We knew how much people wanted to pan on Circuit, so we listened to our users, and our engineers did everything they could to make it happen. Panning has been the single most requested feature of the community to date. It enables users to create audio landscapes or integrate with their favourite hardware.

While users are making the best of Circuit with music-making, we're pushing boundaries within Novation HQ. From this came Drum Micro Steps. Using Drum Micro Steps as a beat-building tool, Circuit v1.6 adds instant fills and stutter effects to users’ workflows, retriggering a sample up to six times within each step. J Dilla fans should probably board here.

Is Circuit’s brightness intruding when the room darkens? Light Dim will help to set the mood for all sorts of romantic occasions with its brightness setting. The features above are accompanied by FX Mute, which can be used to mute any unwanted FX, making it easier to connect with external hardware processors."

Inventions for 3u 104hp Eurorack II

A new release from supporting MATRIXSYNTH Member, Ian Richter. His previous release was featured here.

"my journey into modular synthesis has taken me through another interesting waypoint. there's something about the tactile wires-out rawness of this interface that i can connect to. i manipulate intuitively, i move functionally, i think expressively.

though the eurorack system i own is extremely limited in its capabilities, the more i am forced into corners, the more i enjoy the results. minimal square waves that drone unforgivingly; sine waves that beep along like a morse code machine stuck on a single letter; it's a gas.

this ep, "inventions for 3u 104hp eurorack" was not planned, just like the synth patches that make up its tracks. i found it fitting to place it in series after the previous eurorack album, mainly because of the ambience and approach that was used within the creative process.
