Suspenseful/Action Eurorack Modular Piece - Colin Benders-like Side-chain on Make Noise Maths.

video upload by Piotr Garbaczonek

"Thanks for watching!
Everything was done on the modular system, with no in-the-box processing, except for panning and a single limiter on the master channel. I found a way to use Make Noise Maths as a sidechain compressor for the kick and the bass. It worked out beautifully. Cheers:)

Maarten Vos - live @SUPERBOOTH21

video upload by Superbooth Berlin

"The Dutch artist Maarten Vos played an incomparable set on the Seaside-Stage at SUPERBOOTH21. With the otherworldly Haken Continuum, a Buchla synthesizer and a Eurorack Modular System he took the audience a sonic journey.

Known as much for his outlier, exploratory approach to the cello as his work with modular synthesizers, he’s constantly exploring the boundaries of what can be done with certain instruments. His work is influenced by numerous collaborations with artists like Julianna Barwick, Stimming, Colin Benders and by excursions into other art forms, where he composed music for various disciplines, collaborated with fashion designers, visual artists and scored music for film.

Cosmotronic Peradam - Sidechained Distortion

video upload by Cosmotronic

"Peradam is an analog distortion module with an internal sidechain, like a compressor's twisted brother. The input signal is split up in a main signal that goes into a VCA, and side-chain. The side-chain is first phase modulated, and then ring modulated by itself, to create a signal at twice the frequency of the original. This signal then modulates the amplitude of the VCA, creating complex self distortions in the main signal.

That output then goes into a dual band drive circuit, similar to the one found in Cosmix, before entering a soft clipper output stage. Things get really wild when you start feedbacking this output back into the input, creating very rich feedback tones.

The module even goes into self oscillation at high feedback levels, producing all sorts of crazy sounds. Modulating all these parameters gives a broad palette of distortions, from subtle saturation to massive clipping and complete destruction.

Need a bit more drive? There's a handy +6dB gain switch on the input for that. A blend slider allows you to further dial in your tones, and mix in the distortion to taste.

MSRP € 270

All under the watchful eye of the most amazing community I could have wished for. Streampunks baby!"

How to make a TINY live techno modular synth in only 62HP.

mylarmelodies

"This video is like a step-by-step workshop where I will systematically explain and patch an entire wee tiny live techno modular synth, that works a LOT like my bigger live system. I'll show how I wire it up, and talk about techniques/problems and options throughout.

I've designed many iterations of my live modular system at this point but it's been interesting to work on how SMALL you can make a system and still keep it relatively usable and flexible. I've been able to take ideas from Surgeon, Colin Benders and my own experiments and squeeze them into the smallest space practical. This video should be useful if you are new to modular, as it is intentionally systematic without missing out any steps!"

Against The Clock Lab w/ AMyn, Colin Benders, & Sjamsoedin

AMyn - Against The Clock Lab Published on Oct 25, 2017

"Last weekend, we took Against The Clock to Amsterdam Dance Event’s Sound Lab and the results were spectacular. During the event, we had three artists create a track completely from scratch in front of an audience.

First up, Belgian producer AMyn steps up to the plate and creates a soulful hip-hop instrumental."

"A modular synth maestro.

After AMyn’s soulful session, modular synth wizard Colin Benders showed us his impressive setup, creating a powerful performance with a wall of modular synth gear."

"After two great sessions from Colin Benders and AMyn, Dutch producer Sjamsoedin takes the spotlight.

During his 10 minutes, Sjamsoedin creates an experimental jam using an MPC, a vintage synth and a small modular rig."

Let's Patch - Modular Synthesizer Experiments with Colin Benders 3: Derping around with rhythms

Streamed live on May 11, 2017

Four hours of Colin Benders on his modular system. I thought this was one was particularly interesting as he discusses what he is doing as he builds a complex patch from scratch.

"We tried to feedbackloop clocks and found out why we can't directly feedback loop clocks.
We did some Zombienation
We did a lot with clock multipliers/dividers/probability
We found out Circadian Rhythm does not like variable clocks (or variable pulsewidth) but the A-157 does not mind
Zetaohm dropped by in the chat and showed me how to do polyrhythms with his FLXS1"

SUPERBOOTH17 Event Details

"The first European Trade Fair for electronic musical instruments, will be taking place from April 20th to 22nd for the 2nd time at FEZ-Berlin.

- 170 exhibitors from more than 20 different countries -
- 120 events, 25 concerts per day -
- guests coming from more than 40 countries -

SUPERBOOTH17 is also a cultural event with concerts, workshops, 'Gesprächskonzerten' (performance/talks), providing insights into the world of electronic music and the panel discussion SOOPERtalk. SUPERBOOTH17 offers a lot more than a normal trade fair.

1. The Event program is set:
The trained trumpet player Colin Benders from the Netherlands shows that modular systems have arrived in mainstream composing. The renowned musician - also working with the Kyleman Orchestra - concludes the first evening in front of a standing audience, performing thru the quadrophonic PA in Konzertsaal 1 (K1). The system will see it's inauguration at 7pm by Max Loderbauer and a well known acquaintance by means of a four channel performance.

Also on Friday and Saturday there’s a flock of nondescript notables coming and going in a continuous stream: Frank Bretschneider, Schneider TM, (also (F.) Schneider (Senior) has been invited), Alec Empire, T.Raumschmiere, Matt Didemus (Junior Boys), Jay Ahern, Skinnerbox, the Teichmann Brothers, Gudrun Gut, Ströme (formerly laBrassBanda), Mouse on Mars and others are either on the line up or will be our guests.

This year we will create significantly more space for Women's electronic music. After the SOOPERtalk, two thirds of the nightly program is female-cast. Daily at 1:30pm basic courses by and for Women only are taking place at the Eve - Lounge, with Jessica Kert of SchneidersLaden defining the principles of subtractive synthesis where every day we will have experienced female musicians as guests to explain Examples of usage on location.

2. SOOPERtalk: Nobody here likes to be famous:

During all three evenings from 8-9pm, some less or more well known, but always proficient guests will address issues of our importance as part of community. Hosted by journalist of taz and M&R papers, we are going to investigate the social position we take as a group of creatives. SOOPERtalk should be seen as event embedded in the event and is kindly supported by Musicboard Berlin. If necessary the talks and lectures will be translated into English.

M&R (Melodie & Rhythmus) editor-in-chief Susann Witt-Stahl hosts the first evening, debating political aspects of music with her guests. The 2nd evening is devoted entirely to Creation and is hosted by Jens Uthoff of taz. What kinds of spaces do exist for societal and artistic visions? Together with the Teichmann Brothers we have managed to invite very interesting guests for this discussion.

3. Book your DIY Workshop tickets now:

Binding bookings for the DIY workshops are now available and limited to 16 participants each.
The cost for participation in the DIY workshops depends on individual construction kit prices.
All other workshops thru out the day (incl. 1pm) may be reserved with your standard visitor ticket as long as places are available.

Similar to last year, a live stream running from 12am to 12pm will be provided for absent but interested parties, however, this time representing ALL relevant concerts and presentations.

For the night hours there will be more program at C-Base, in the Maze Club (Thursday & Friday) and on the final night at Ohm in Tresor.
