Easel Euro Improv 1 27 21

video by Todd Barton

"It turns out I followed the sound and it was intense. Fair warning :-)
I just recently put back my Benjolin into my Euro skiff which feeds into the Easel Aux In. I had no idea what the sound would be as I slowly raised the LPG2 on the Easel. It was intense so I responded accordingly -- following a different sound. It can get loud and gritty. Modules involved in the Euro skiff are Buchla Red Panel 158 Dual Sine/Saw Osc, Instruo 1047 resonant filter, Makenoise Mimeophon, Epoch Benjolin, Intellijel Planar 2, MA 3 channel mixer and of course the Easel."

Klangbau Köln Eurorack - Sunday Ambient Noise Jam #TTNM

Published on Oct 6, 2019 THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Patching my new cables from Luigi's Modular Supply into my Klangbau Köln Eurorack. MORE INFO BELOW :)

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥

While it has been a while since I patched my Klangbau Köln Eurorack synthesizer, I always enjoy playing some ambient drone/noise music with it. In this jam I'm triggering a sample played on Tom Whitwell's Radio Music through the Twin Peak Filter, while Rob Hordijk's Benjolin is making some liquid filter ping sounds as well, while also providing a modulated master clock and Rungler CV. The Wavetable DCO, the XR-VCO and the qVCF are acting as oscillators, going through a Ring Mod, Waveshaper and Tube VCA. There's a bunch of modulation coming from the Envelope, the Joystick, the Closed-Loop Sample & Hold and the digital and analog Logisitc Equation modules."

ALM Busy Circuits Squid Salmple // Fast & powerful 8 channel audio and CV sampler in Eurorack

Published on Jul 11, 2019 DivKidVideo

"So here's the Squid Salmple from ALM Busy Circuits. It's an 8 channel Eurorack sampler that can record, mangle, modulate and playback audio or CV. It's fast and immediate with quick on the fly recording options and an easy interface that very quickly became a fast and intuitive way to work with both audio and CV. There's a phenomenal bank of samples that comes with it on the USB stick that's really well put together from a range of artists and sources. You've got 5 outputs, 3 assignable (to multiple destinations) CV inputs, 8 trigger inputs and plenty of control and options. I'd love to hear what you think about the module and the video so leave a comment and let's chat. Skip around with the timing index below if you see fit and cheers for watching!

Buchla Benjolin Test 1

Published on Jun 7, 2019 Todd Barton

"A new, very limited edition of Rob Hordijk's Benjolin project in Buchla format by Anto."

Update: second video added to the playlist above.

"Audio outputs normaled :

- Square 5 pk-pk
- Triangle 4 pk-pk
- XOR 5 pk-pk
- PWM 5 pk-pk
- VCF Out is approx. line level

I've added a jumper to disconnect the PWM that is internally wired to the filter.

- 1.2V Inputs _ these vcos are not super stable but 3 octaves tuned decently_ there's trimmers on the back to adjust each vcos

- CV Attenuverters

- Clock In & Serial In : Feed with external signal (at least 2V) Trig, gate, or CV. External is activated when switch is down.
Pulser from 208 is a bit to short to fire it. Works with 281, 245, TSNM, 259 square and saw waves, uStep, Klee sequencer, LFO, 266 outputs, 208 envelope...

- Bit 1/2/3 : Gate Out 15v - when led light on : Gate=0

- Stepped : It's the Rungler CV output, 8 stepped voltage (S&H sort of). Maximum range from 0.5 to 12v. It can be trimmed.
One "scale" I find useful to shift the stages of the 245. 1,2v/2.6v/4v/5,4v/6,8v/8v/9.5v/10.8v

- Switch mode : 8 steps / Random / 16 steps

- PushButton : Manual Trigger Serial In = change the pattern of the Rungler when pressed.

- 2-pole VCF with Rungler CV control and attenuverter."

Panamint Valley Sunset [Episode 145]

The two valleys are separated by the Panamint Range. Two days after this watery scene was filled, the area was bone dry with dust storms.

Klangbau Köln Eurorack: Analog FM, Filter Pings & Wavetable Synth Sounds #TTNM

Published on Apr 21, 2019 THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"In this video I demonstrate a patch combining analog FM, filter pings and digital wavetable oscillator sounds.

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥

Klangbau Köln Website:
https://xn--klangbaukln-zfb.de/

Patch Notes:
The patch is a combination of four sounds, mixed together and sent through a VCA and audio effects.

1. XR-VCO (big version) sine wave output with added linear frequency modulation from the Variable qVCF's LP output in self-oscillation
2. Variable qVCF BP output in self-oscillation
3. Twin Peak Filter Pings modulated by the Wavetable VCDO audio output
4. Wavetable VCDO audio

All sounds are mixed with a Doepfer A-138 exp. audio mixer and sent into the Klangbau Waveshaper module, although only to use its clean (non-waveshaping) VCA, modulated by the Klangbau ADSR envelope.

The ADSR is trigger by the Pulse 2 output of Klangbau's Rob Hordijk Benjolin, which is sometimes FM'ed by its own chaotic Rungler CV.

The Pulse 2 output also triggers the digital version of the Klangbau Logistic Equation (Logistische Gleichung), which generates chaotic pitch CV for the XR-VCO, qCF and Wavetable VCDO and also pings the Twin Peak Filter's audio input. The CV is also used to modulate the Wavetable DCO's waveform choice.

After the VCA, the audio runs through the Synthrotek EKO Delay, which is modulated by the Benjolin's Rungler, and then through the Klangbau Köln Spring Reverb."
