S&H In S&H trig S&H out

S&H In 8, S&H Trig 9, and S&H Out 10 are a set of sampling and holding circuits. S&H In 8 inputs the signal that needs to be sampled,S&H Trig 9 inputs the Trig signal that samples the input of S&H In 8, and the sampling result is held until the next Trig signal triggers a new sampling, and the result is output at S&H Out 10. When S&H In 8 is not plugged in, the Trig signal of S&H Trig 9 samples the Noise Out of 2, resulting in a nearly random sampling result. The sampling-hold function can be triggered by pressing button 5 when the S&H Trig 9 has no insertion line.

Noise Trig & Noise Out

Noise Trig 1 and Noise Out 2 are part of the Noise generator, which continuously outputs a Noise without any input, which is the result of the sound amplified many times after the breakdown of the Zener tube. If a wire is inserted into the Noise Trig jack, the Zener tube will stop the breakdown state. At this time, give a signal, which can be Trig, square wave or any other signal, only if it is higher than 3.3v, it will again break through the Zener tube, constantly reciprocating, changing the output effect of the Noise Out.

Offset Out

Knob 3 changes the output voltage value of Ofset Out 4, when the button is pressed 5.Ofset Out 4 will output voltage according to the position of the knob, release the button, and the output is terminated.

Aux in & out

Aux In 6 and Aux Out 7 are a set of envelope non-tunable Vcas triggered by button 5. Aux In6 can be an audio input or other signal input, press button 5,Aux In6 input will be output from Aux Out 7 after adding an envelope control. Noise Out2's noise output is added to AuxIn 6 when AuxIn 6 is not plugged in. This means that you can directly control the noise output in Aux Out 7 by pressing button 5."

Erbe-Verb B&G | Shared System 'X' | Episode 03 | Back in Black


video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Yeah. I made episode 03 before I was able to finish episode 02 so I decided to post them both. There's no need on this channel to manage posts to maximize views, I just want you to be able to find information when you need it and I just LOVE to make content like this. I made a lot of videos about the EV in the past and it's covered in the old Shared System tutorials (link in video). In this video, I am going to try something new.

In this episode, I'll only use Erbe-Verb and DXG in a feedback loop. So no fancy 7U case layout this time, I made this video to find out if it can still be relevant in 2024. Since I am totally biased, you'll need to decide for yourself. Honestly, if you need a regular reverb, maybe a stereo module would serve you better.

Erbe-Verb is going for a limited rerun in black and gold, so this also means it's getting old and possibly moving to retirement. Without speculating too much, it's possible that MakeNoise is working on a successor now they have this amazing new ARM DSP board. But again, I have no idea. What we DO know is, that Erbe-Verb is widely considered as one of the best reverbs in eurorack, even though it's not the best reverb as a reverb. Que? It excels in creative use and abuse. It will never get old and whatever comes next, it will pair well with the EV (it pairs really well with a Mimeophon, StarLab, Sealegs or Desmodus Versio).

Apart from the sound design fun, Erbe-Verb plays a big role in the Shared System signature sound. While it's partly overshadowed by the more recent Mimeophon, the Mime's 'halo' only adds a little space. It's nothing compared to the 'icy sheet metal in deep space' sound from the EV, which can easily double as a classic spring- or plate reverb when 'absorb' and 'tilt' are used to tame the high end. I've never been a fan of the predelay, but it can do amazing things with modulation and gates/triggers.

The Erbe-Verb is 'mono IN' so it needs to be used as a send/return with a stereo voice like XPO or Spectraphon. Here's where a ModDemix comes in handy. You can use CH1 and CH2 to pass on your stereo mix to let's say an X-PAN, and use the Sum out to EV. Then you can patch the EV's stereo out to X-PAN's aux inputs. It's a lot of patching and modules for a verb, but it provides a lot of freedom."

Introducing Supercritical Redshift 6 - Six voice analog Variable Character Synthesizer


video upload by Supercritical Synthesizers

"Supermassively dense analog oscillator combined with a chameleon analog filter with versatile gain staging. Now sixfold.

Redshift 6 combines technology from the company’s previous products, the Demon Core Oscillator and the Neutron Flux Filter. Each of the six voices features a DCO with analog waveforms generated under digital control. The filter core is an analog 4-pole state variable filter also digitally controlled to act like almost any classic vintage synthesizer filter and more. In addition to the oscillators and filters, Redshift 6 has all the features expected of a modern synth - plenty of modulators, flexible voice routing, multitimbrality, MPE, and DSP effects.

Redshift 6’s idea is something that is wrapped in the moniker “Variable Character Synthesizer”. Each voice’s analog path regarding tuning, gain staging, filter, and more is under strict digital control. Redshift 6 has as lush and warm sweet spot inspired by the analog polysynth tradition, but it can also cover the full range from almost digitally sterile and clean to distorted misbehavior and beyond. No modeling here - it’s all analog until the bypassable stereo DSP effects processor.

The oscillator, already road-tested in the Demon Core Oscillator eurorack module, is featured in each of the six voices. The oscillator has multiple tricks up its sleeve, each one wrapped as an Engine for the user to choose between. Traditional twin oscillator engines, supersaw engines, flanging phase sync engines, and transistor organ engines are all powerful modes in user-friendly ways that are easily controllable and modulatable.

Redshift 6’s six voices can be configured in plenty of ways. Choose between true six-voice polyphony, classic vintage poly dual layer mode with 3+3 voices, six individual voices each with their own patch and physical output, or any combination of the above. Each of the six voices can also operate as a paraphonic voice with up to 16 note paraphony. Additionally, multiple filters can be chained by routing audio from one voice to another.

The form factor of Redshift 6 is a modern, compact desktop device with a 2.7-inch color screen. Menu diving is reduced to a minimum, with quick navigation via the shortcut button grid. A selection of familiar synth controls are featured on the front panel. A macro mode is included with six user-assignable controls. The back panel features main audio outputs with a DSP effects processor and four auxiliary voice outputs.

One of the major design principles of Redshift 6 is to have a versatile and capable analog platform and a flexible UI for new Engines, easily updateable via software updates.

Jolin TUTTO & SEMPRE / versatile 4 channel stereo mixer with patchbay / explanation and demo


video upload by BRiES

"In this video I take a look at the extensive and unique features on TUTTO & SEMPRE, an interesting stereo mixer by Jolin. It's really useful to have a patchbay (extra intputs and outputs where you can 'insert' modules) and built-in VCAs are always a big plus on any module, especially on a mixer. 1 Aux input, 2 headphone outputs with seperate cue inputs, ... there's a lot going on in this mixer.

0:00 intro
1:02 sound snippets
1:55 explanation
6:42 exploration
20:36 patch examples"



via Jolin

"TUTTO&SEMPRE is a stereo performance mixer with 4 channel strips, an active patchbay, individual VCAs, clickless mutes, individual post attenuation direct outs, a main balanced stereo output and two high fidelity headphones drivers with switchable stereo inserts.

The module consists of two main blocks:

Mixing frame

I - 4 pairs of actively normalled inputs with input LED meters.

↑ - Patchbay out – a cable here interrupts the signal flow.

↓ - Patchbay insert to get back to the mix.

V - Control voltage input for the VCAs.

Audio graded logarithmic stereo potentiometers.

Paired clickless mute toggle.

O - Individual output post attenuators.

Output stage

The main level knob regulates the volume of the three outputs: L and R are balanced line level signals while S is a combined stereo output designed to be fed into external 3.5mm interfaces.

A stand for auxiliary inputs: signals fed here will bypass the first mixing block.

The main mix continues to flow to the two headphones amplifiers. Each one of them can easily power up to 600 ohms drivers with low noise and high-fidelity performance. A stereo aux input can be fed into each one of the phones sections with a switch that allows isolated preview listening and routing to the main mix – this makes the module able to manage up to 7 stereo signals at the same time."

Moog Mavis + Doepfer Mini Synth + AJH MiniMod - Eurorack setup test


video upload by DreamsOfWires

"Testing a new setup idea for most of my synth gear, here with 3 synth voices: Moog Mavis, Doepfer A112-5 Mini Synthesizer Voice (the synth guts of a Dark Energy Mk1), and just 1 AJH Synth MiniMod VCO / Transistor Ladder Filter voice, since the other 2 synths are also single oscillator instruments. All 3 synths are dry - no FX/reverb etc.
Also a backing drone using 2 MiniMod VCOs, Ring SM and Gemini 2412. The Erica Synths Black Sequencer is running the 3 synth voices, in various playback modes and step probability settings. Mixed using Cosmix, FX Aid on aux send for drone sound only, and mix out recorded on a Disting Mk4.
There's no serious music here, just experimenting, but it might give people some useful ideas regarding gear and layouts, which I tend to struggle with myself.
Some of these modules will change (be sold, or are intended for other purposes eventually) as I try to fine-tune the setup, but it's a starting point so that I can get on with making music.

5 Features of the Xer Mixa mixer and Expando Expandi expander from Noise Engineering


video upload by Noise Engineering

"Check out these 5 Features of the Xer Mixa mixer and Expando Expandi expander from Noise Engineering. Order individually or as a bundle here: https://bit.ly/3YZFvXx

0:11 StereOMG
0:53 Screen
1:50 Automation
2:49 Cue Mix
3:41 Light Show

Xer Mixa is a mixer with ten stereo-paired inputs (8 channels and 2 aux-ins), three stereo-paired output busses, tactile controls, and a 100% analog signal path with low noise and crosstalk, pristine sound quality, and ultra-high headroom. A built-in analog leveling amplifier is great for adding some punch to your mix. A digital control interface harnesses the true power of hybrid design, allowing for state save and recall, per-channel pan law and pre/post send settings, multichannel editing, and MIDI I/O.

Xer Mixa features 10 stereo-paired input channels: 8 interactive fader-controlled channels and two aux inputs. All 10 inputs feature clickless mutes. The screen makes configuration of per-channel pan-law settings, pre- or post-fader sends, and channel and MIDI CC routing simple and intuitive. Save your settings in one of seven preset slots for easy recall for your next set or session.

We designed Xer Mixa to be as compact as possible, with a streamlined and compact-yet-usable interface. However, if you’re looking for CV control, the 4 HP Expando Expandi adds 8 freely assignable CV inputs to the Xer Mixa. Connect up to two Expando Expandi to Xer Mixa for easy CV control over channel levels, pan, aux sends, and more. Xer Mixa and Expando Expandi are also available individually.

Xer Mixa can also be oriented with the jacks at the top or the bottom: a simple system setting inverts the screen for easy customization to fit your rig. And despite its extensive I/O, Xer Mixa clocks in at just 32 HP. Whether you have a massive studio rig or a compact performance system, Xer Mixa is the perfect choice for a tactile, expressive mixing experience."

Yamaha Half-Rack Series Set: EMT-1 FM Expander Synth, EMT-10 PCM Synth, EMR-1 Digital Rhythm Box

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.


via this auction

"welcome to strange, bizarre, obscure and unknown equipment rubric.

today I’ll be introducing you this extremely rare set.

includes all three sound making machines made by Yamaha in the late 80s. (1988 approximately).

it’s a pack with very cool vintage sound and convenient features.

set includes:

• Yamaha EMT-1

8-voice poly synth. based on Yamaha famous FM chip, and using them for sound generation. this is basically like Yamaha DX-21 or something similar, having most of the most famous presets here, and allowing slight variations towards them, and lots of different multi-timbral options. also allows to control some parameters via SysEx.

• Yamaha EMT-10

8-voice polyphonic pcm based sound generation. but in a good way. sounds are multi-sampled, and sound extremely realistic, and very vintage. has slight variation options over the sounds, and few simple multi-timbral options.

• Yamaha EMR-1

digital rhythm box. has fancy preset rhythms, very reminiscent of some great tunes. also can be fully midi controlled, and each sound can be individually sequenced externally via midi.

also has this great led-display showing measures progression, and a display showing bpm and measure counter information.

very nice feature is that all three machines feature power supply in and out sockets, which means that all three can be powered just from one power adapter, and connected together using dc-dc cables.

also all three feature line out, but also Aux In. so all three can be mixed together and their outputs can be daisy chained connected, to have just one stereo pair in the end, which will produce stereo outputs of all of the three devices.

and they also can be daisy chained by midi! each features midi thru socket.

so fully daisy chainable, very well connectable vintage pack.

be special, choose something weird and unknown instead of these other boring famous things everyone else has. choose character."

Novation Summit - A playing attempt at Brian Crain's "Imagining"


video uploads by eM

Playlist:
Novation Summit - A playing attempt at Brian Crain's "Imagining"
One of my favorite piano artists Brian Crain, his song 'Imagining' attempting to play it. IIt definitely takes some muscle memory, but I love this song, love to hear it sound on the Summit.
Novation Summit - "Morning Stroll" SM Plucked Keys
Took a walk outside with the family in our new neighborhood... beautiful sunny day. Much to be thankful for. a short inspirational piece from that played here. I hope wherever you are you will find an enjoyable stroll for yourself.
Novation Summit - SM Plucked Keys (Orano patch) - "Pirate's Beach"
Could pass for a guitar sound, do you think? Credit to Orano's patch again, some reverb from the flashback and hall of fame, subtle reverb and delay on the Summit, I know I know.. why not just use one or the other. Well, it's convenient to alternate, the HoF and FB pedals are primarily not adjusted as it's also sent thru my mixer as an FX channel for other instruments. Enjoy.
Novation Summit - "Aisle" - Multi Mode - 1. SM 5th Sense 2. Sm Who's Afraid (Orano's single patches)
Credit to Orano's Novation Summit single patches, I split them in multi mode, as you'll usually see me do. In this improvisation I'm playing with the delay timing effects on the #2 patch while playing pad on the #1. The onboard delay and reverb effects gives instant breaths for your creative atmospheres.
Novation Summit - "Crystal Falls" Multi Setting (SM Leviathan and SM Popcorn Arp)
Patch creation credit to Orano Music @ https://www.orano.co.uk/shop. Just having fun with blending his patches, very lush and enjoyable, highly recommended!
Novation Summit - SM Leviathan (patch Created by Orano Music)
This patch (along with many others) was created by Orano Music
Novation Summit - "Legendary Keys" - Solo Piano - Multi Mode
I like taking the same single patch and splitting them between both the A and B sections. There are a few minor tweaks between the two sections of course, the A section I'll use for solo piano playing with some slight filter manipulations while the B section is mainly conducting the arp in the play tick on the arp knob, this basically follows the key strokes and does a catch up, so to say, as there is also delay and feedback being added for dynamic effect. I like being able to create an immersivity effect to keep me going in my solo playing. The Summit never fails to conveniently produce this very basic task.

Since OBS has fixed their NDI plugin, it's less work around for me to set up these recordings again. Thanks for listening. appreciate any comments or tips for solo piano playing and any other recommendations to help me along this Summit playing journey.

8/2/23 Yamaha DD-10 + Metasonix RK8 & R-57 + Zerosum Inertia 6AS6 + Synthwerks FSR-2P + PCM 70


video upload by Cfpp0

"Yamaha DD-10 plays its 'Computer Swing' beat, with Intro/Fill 2.

The left output of the Yamaha goes straight into the audio in on the RK8. The right output of the Yamaha goes to the Synthwerks FSR-2P and then into CV in on the RK8 (though it is not used in this video). The mix audio out of the RK8 goes to the Mazzatron pass through to the EWI bay to the Samson bay to the Mackie Onyx 16:4, where it gets PCM 70 Gated palate on an aux. Two bands from the RK8 go to the Zerosum Inertia 6AS6 (it matters which goes to which input). The 6AS6 out goes to the Synthwerks FSR-2P and then to the R-57 and through the Mazzatron pass through into the EWI bay into the Samson bay into the Mackie. Towards the end, it actually sounds better when the Yamaha volume is reduced, so more or less input gain is critical to the RK8 like it is with Metasonix TM and TX boxes."

Yamaha PSS 795 AWM Vector Synth with Custom 30-Point Patch Matrix and Randomizer Switch

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by Canned Sound

"A presentation of this modified vintage keyboard demonstrating the use of the multi-timbral manual vector controller joystick in conjunction with the custom 30-point patch bay. This turns the unit into a generator of noise, bizarre soundscapes, a range of lo-fi ambient, aliasing, glitching and unison pads, corrupted rhythms and percussion."



via Canned Sound's Reverb Shop

"The Yamaha PSS 795 is a rare 1990 49-key digital keyboard which implements Advanced Wave Memory synthesis- the use of real world instrument and voice samples which are looped and/or blended with digitally generated sound. Four of the unit's onboard presets can be assigned to the vector controller- a joystick which allows the user to morph between each of these sounds. With the addition of the custom built 30-point patch bay, this adds up to one of the most remarkable, enigmatic and useful modified instruments Canned Sound has to offer. This feature unlocks an endless array of other-worldly soundscapes, bizarre loops, weird sample hybrids, drones, warped digital distortion, garbled and staccato FM sounds, ethereal effects, powerful unison patches, strange percussion hits and grinding bass tones. The unit also features a switch which triggers completely random streams of noise, sequences, effects and tones- another great option for sampling.

When utilising the patch matrix, each configuration of the five included stackable patch cables produces an often multitimbral range of sounds across the keyboard. The percussion pads and onboard rhythms are also affected. The capacity for the generation of unusual pads, noise and percussive hits is immense; this modified PSS 795 is a source of distinctly different sounds which any alternatively minded electronic producer will find inspiring. Demo to follow.

Specs:
61 mini keys.
ROM: 100 sounds, 50 rhythms.
8 percussion pads (46 percussion sounds + voiced numbers 1 - 4 are assignable to each).
4 patch vector controller (a user created movement sequence is writable in the 8 track sequencer).
Pitch bend wheel.
MIDI: In, Out, Thru.
Twin 3 watt speakers + headphone/AUX out.
Dimensions: 776 mm x 302 mm x 141 mm.
Weight: 4.5 kg."

INTRANINE / full system eurorack jam / outboard mixer and effects


video upload by BRiES

"I'm going from the modular to the mixer with a Voltage Vibes breakout module and a bunch of adapter cables (I still need to drill a hole in the back of my case so the cable mess is out of sight/out of mind).

In this video I'm using 2 stereo outputs routed to my interface, but there's a third stereo group connected just in case I need 3 seperate stems. One group is going through a DBX 1066 compressor. The mixer channel for the kick is wired into the SC input on the compressor so I can do some ducking if I want.

I have a few eurorack effects connected to the aux sends on the mixer and the Lexicon MPX500 is connected to an aux as well. Now I can send reverbs into delays and back again with the twist of (a few) knob(s).

I'm very pleased with how it all turned out. There is some groundloop but it's very silent (less than -40dB) so I'm going to ignore it.

I already had this large mixer (A&H GL2200), I just wasn't using it (in fact it was obnoxiously in my way) so by going this route I actually created some space and saved money in the process. The eurorack solution for all of this flexibility is unfortunately far more expensive than the cost of a few XLR and adapter cables."

SIDETRACKED / figuring out recording setup / eurorack


video upload by BRiES

"I got sidetracked so much the last few weeks trying to figure out a better way to record signals from the modular. It's not at all straightforward. Here I recorded the bass onto a seperate channel to get the 'oomph' back into it with some nice pre-amp plugin... sounds like a good fix right? But now I can't run it through the sidechain compression which means I can't hear how the track SHOULD sound when tracking it. SMH.

After recording this video I've adopted the 'outboard mixer road' completely. It's a hell of a mess of cables but the flexibility of an outboard desk with 3 stereo outs and 6 aux sends is hard to beat. The mixer I have has a great sound to it as well and after a lot of consideration I realised creating an environment for making music and sounds should always primarily be based on sound rather than practicality (even though both matter and it sometimes is a difficult balance)."
