New Dreadbox Murmux v2 Arriving in October

Dreadbox Murmux v2 - First Look Coming in October

Published on Sep 25, 2016 ProckGnosis

"Yes, got the Murmux v2 days before I left for vacation, so an in-depth look will be delayed a bit, but first impressions are VERY good. Yes, that is the Murmux v2 shrieking in the video (as well as the rest of the sounds).

And yes, I am available for voice work! : ) Cheers!

dreadbox murmux v2 - first impressions of the semimodular, analog synthesizer.

Published on Sep 25, 2016 Rickinger B.

"Here are my first impressions with the new murmux V2. I've recorded the raw sound, no FX, only the build in echo. Dreadbox has made a lovely beast, i think. More stuff is coming, if you want. Tell me what you think ;-)"

Dreadbox Murmux v2 - First Look

Published on Oct 1, 2016 ProckGnosis

"First look at the new Dreadbox Murmux v2, the awesome lovechild of a Dreadbox' Murmux Semi-Modular, the Erebus, and several Dreadbox modules, after a heavy night of slamming ouzo shots.

Highlights for me would be:
- The 3 independent oscillators plus a sub osc
- The combined high pass and low pass filter mixing
- The "drive" control

The Murmux was already pretty solid as a lead and bass synth, but these 3 extra features (just highlighted above), REALLY help push it up another notch for cutting leads and ballsy basses.

Though recorded the day before I went on vacation, it was edited and thrown together in between bouts of seriously needed relaxing here in Greece. Cheers!"

Dreadbox Abyss Overview by ProckGnosis

ProckGnosis
Published on Aug 5, 2017

"Part 1 of an overview of the Dreadbox Abyss, 4-voice analog(ue) synth(esizer/esiser). Go to 02:45 to skip the babble and brewski intro. For more specific sound examples, check out the “Dreadbox Abyss - Twiddling With and Exploring the Sounds” video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwiVW...). [posted here]

This vid covers the VCO, VCF, and VCA sections of the synth (ad nauseam in places). Part 2 will cover the Mode, Mod Wheel, LFO, Effects, and Dip Switch sections of the synth.

A little bit about the synth:
- 4 voice polyphonic analog
- 1 variable-waveform osc and 1 square-wave sub osc per voice
- 24db Murmux low-pass filter
- 2 independent LFOs with 4 selectable wave forms
- 4 playing modes - multi-channel, unison, polyphonic, and chords
- 3 effects sections including Reflector (for flange/chorus effects), Delay, and Phaser

I just haven’t found a synth that can sound as vintage, other than older vintage synths. Looking for that slightly, wobbly, unstable analog synth sound (ala Boards of Canada, etc)? This does it, but in a very controllable way. I do sometimes find myself missing a second oscillator to fatten up the sound a bit in polyphonic mode, but given the variable wave forms and the vintage sounding effects, I’m missing it much less than I thought I would.

I’ve said it in half a dozen other posts, but hats off to Dreadbox for doing synths just a little differently than the rest of the folks (and that’s different in a GOOD way)."

Tricks for the Dreadbox Nyx - Synched Oscillators

Published on Mar 17, 2018 ProckGnosis

Playlist:

1. Tricks for the Dreadbox Nyx - Pulse-Width Modulation

"Yeah, it's not so much a trick, as it is a mini-tutorial on how to patch Mod 2 to modulate the pulse-width on oscillator 1. Skip to 03:00 to jump the explanation.

The Dreadbox Nyx can be a bit intimidating and take a little time to figure things out, so I thought I'd throw this out to assist folks with a starting point at least. I would suggest going back to my previous "Dreadbox Nyx Routing Examples" video as well to help get a better understanding of the synth layout as a whole.

The Nyx is still probably my favorite "less-than-a-$1000" mono synth right now (with the Korg ARP Odyssey being a close second). I know I'm a broken record on this, but it bears repeating. This is a uniquely designed and unique sounding synth in the field of "a lot of the same" analog monosynths, and fun as hell to play with once you get your head around it a bit."

2. Tricks for the Dreadbox Nyx - Synched Oscillators

"And here's Nyx "Trick #2" or a mini-tutorial on how to synchronize Osc 2 to Osc 1 and use Mod 2 to enhance the effect. Jump to 01:30 to skip the intro.

For a much more thorough explanation on how synchronizing oscillators works, check out:
"Murmux Semi-Modular - Tidbits and Tips for Creating a Good Synched Oscillator Patch" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH-bD...)

Though I love a good synched oscillator patch, I would have to say this sounds best towards the end of the video, where I've mixed in the remaining saw wave (Osc 1), and used Mod 1 as a little AD envelope to modulate the filter.

Another point not mentioned in the video is I could have used the Modulator II "LVL" setting to also alter the amount of the Mod 2. It is actually additive to the amount of the "M2" value set by the "Depth" trim knob.

Lastly, this is only an example/tutorial of the most common way to get a standard, synched-oscillator sound (IMO). The Nyx being semi-modular gives you LOTS of other options and ways to produce and screw around with the synched sounds. The Nyx routings could be set to let Mod 2 modulate the HP or LP filter while it's also modulating the Osc 2 pitch."

3. Tricks for the Dreadbox Nyx - Making an ADSR Envelope

"And here's Nyx 'Trick #3' or "some info how to create an ADSR or 4 or 5 stage envelope using MOD 1 and MOD 2." If you like math, but are newer to synths, I would watch "Part 2" at 07:07 first and THEN go back to Part 1 at 02:14.

Part 1 - The Examples (02:14)
Part 2 - The ADSR Academics (07:07)

This is likely my last "Tricks for the Nyx" video for a while. The video is split into 2 parts: part 1 gives a worked through example of setting up a 4 or 5 stage envelope, and part 2 gets a bit more basic (the academic part), explaining how envelopes are usually shaped and how different envelopes can be shaped on the Nyx by adding the smaller MOD 1 and MOD 2 envelopes together.

I'm probably turning off some newbs by showing how the Nyx is a bit more complicated than most normal synths, but for me, that's a large part of what makes it cool. If you're a newb and you bought a Nyx, be patient...it is WORTH the investment of time to learn. Cheers!"

Murmux Semi-Modular Synthesizer Review

Published on Oct 12, 2014 ProckGnosis

2nd video below.

"Review of the Murmux Semi-Modular Synthesizer manufactured in Greece by Dreadbox Pedals and Synths (http://www.dreadbox-fx.com/)

I try to cover the basics of the synth, including the different sections and features, giving some sound examples as I tweak and explain the different controls and parameters. What I don't cover is patching with the different CV/Gates inputs and outputs at the top of synth's panel (what makes it semi-modular).

Check out Henrik Lendal's video at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTnBS... for good look at getting creative with the semi-modular with some patch cables.

Positives?
- The synth sounds great and is a blast to mess around with
- Looks as great as it sounds
- Great sounding filter
- A slightly different approach on some features (the 4-stage mod for example)
- Sturdy construction with solid knobs!

Negatives (and only very slight ones)
- Playing legato with a MIDI controller does not retrigger the filter envelope, but playing with a CV/gate input DOES retrigger the filter envelope playing legato or staccato
- Filter has a slight spike on the key-up with certain settings

All in all, I LOVE it...addictive as hell to play around with and in some ways cooler than my Moog Voyager...

Cheers!"
