Nonlinearcircuits VCO Demo

video upload by Randy Piscione

"This is a demo of an older Nonlinearcircuits VCO, based on a Mikulic/Electronotes core with phase sync and pan-pulse circuitry from the Aries AR-338.

The video starts with a sequence, and scope shots of four of the five waveforms the VCO puts out. I didn’t bother with the triangle, but there is a pulse, then saw, then pan pulse and processed saw. These are eventually blended together, and then the left side VCO is faded in. This one is hard synced to another VCO. The equipment list is at the bottom of the description.

The PCB is not designed for Eurorack so I built a dual version to fit them behind a double panel. I originally built it in 2015, made a new panel in 2018, and it stopped working shortly after that. Each VCO required 50 hookups, so 100 wires, 200 solder joints. Ouch!

When it failed, for no apparent reason, I removed all of the point-to-point wiring, couldn’t figure out what happened, and put it aside for quite a few years. If only I had known then what I know now, the failure was a simple IC problem. I had purchased TL074s from eBay that turned out to be pirate versions. It would’ve been a one minute fix. I decided to tackle it again recently, and re-soldered all of the wires. Unfortunately, I used crap wire, so off those came, and I did it again! Still had some issues but with substantial help from John at PM Foundations, we were able to bring it back to life.

Testing Nakst Integrate - Classic Hardstyle Lead

video upload by Eyezer Productionz | Synths & Audio

Note Nakst was first introduced a year go.

"Introduction (from the manual):

As technology has improved, it has become possible for manufacturers to produce increasingly complex synthesizers. This has led to the creation of synths that trade off easeof-use for maximum sound design potential, spreading hundreds upon hundreds of options and parameters throughout dizzying interfaces, full of tabs and menus. They provide oscillators and filters with such immense algorithmic precision that any soul or character is stripped away before it has a chance to flourish in the sound. Integrate is not like that.

Integrate has been designed with the goal of creating an old-school virtual analog that has just as much personality as any of the classics, paired with a fantastic user interface that makes exploring the sonic possibilities an effortless pleasure. It cannot do everything, but this is intentional; limitations breed creativity. No longer will you spend hours scrolling through lists of wavetables, paralyzed by the impossible task of deciding which is the best to use – a question that has no right answer. Instead, Integrate has a simple two-page layout where every parameter has been selected for its unique axis of inspiration. Every dial, slider and button is waiting to delight you as you delve into a world of aural possibilities.

Many thanks to fdigl for providing me a NFR license for this plugin! Next video will feature some custom patches made by me.

"The old-school virtual analog synthesizer: reimagined and perfected.

A synthesizer optimized for creativity.

Integrate follows in the footsteps of the virtual analog classics we still love today, bringing together a straightforward user interface with an intricate and colorful sound engine.

Four mighty oscillators.
The four main oscillators come equipped with a selection of 74 waveforms and a flexible noise generator.
The traditional waveforms (sine, sawtooth, square and triangle) all have a specially chosen parameter that can be modulated, allowing you to creating evolving sounds. The noise generator has tweakable color, and it also supports key tracking for an effect reminiscent of early game consoles.
Also featuring FM, RM and hard sync, there's a world of possibilities waiting to be unlocked in these oscillators.
There's also a sub oscillator sporting three waveforms, ready to quickly beef up your patch.

Have it your way.
Integrate lets you configure the character of the oscillators, giving you the power to shape the sound of your patches from the very start of the signal path.

Pick between the “Clean” rendering mode for a modern touch, or the “Digital” mode to add a gritty punch to your sound.

Make anything super.
Oscillators A and B both sport a unison section, letting you turn a simple waveform into a 7 voice beast. Configure the detune and mix, or enable “Stereo” to spread the voices across the channels. You'll soon discover how much of a monster Integrate is at fat, anthemic sounds, perfect for mesmerizing listeners of any genre.

The latest technology.
Integrate is available in the new CLAP plugin format, boasting advanced features like non-destructive polyphonic parameter modulation and note stacking. We're proud to join its community of developers who are pioneering the latest in audio technology.

Information, only when you need it.
To keep the interface compact and free from distractions, Integrate keeps extra information about parameters neatly tucked away in popups that only show when you're interacting with the relevant controls.

Waveforms, envelopes, frequency spectrums all pop up as soon as you need them, and then instantly hide away once you're done with them.

Explore new territory.
Integrate isn't an emulation of an existing synth. Instead, it's a brand new design, waiting for you to explore what it's capable of. Dive into a world of characterful oscillators, screaming filters, chaotic LFOs, and dreamy reverbs. There's bound to be something that'll captivate your imagination.

Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 - having a play

video upload by Oli Freke

Oli Freke is the man behind the "Synthesizer Evolution", "Vintage Synths", and "Drum Machines and Samplers" books previously featured here.

"In which I have a first play with a Prophet 5 rev 3 (a friend's, not mine!). As you can tell I have a predilection for hard sync / FM type sounds, which may not be the usual lush analogue chords you might initially be expecting!

It was actually quite a lot more digital sounding in that way - cross-modulation and FM giving rise to those harsher/brighter sounds I guess.

I'll have to do another one that's a bit more 'Stranger Things'! :-)"

Tiptop Audio Officially Releases ART Line of Eurorack Modules

via Tiptop Audio

"Today, we are celebrating the release of the first set of ART-equipped modules, marking the first time this technology is ready for purchase. We are starting with the release of the ATX1 Analog VCO, Vortex Digital OSC, Octopus USB/MIDI interface, ART V/OCT Quantizer, and Control Path dual analog envelopes plus VCA.

On our website, we have dedicated the ART landing page as the knowledge base HQ for ART. There, you will find plenty of educational videos, module video manuals, and uploaded video playlists of music filmed during beta testing. ART is simple to use and easy to understand, and with those videos, we made sure all aspects and potential misinformation have been addressed. Additionally, more information is in the process of being added in the coming days for both DIY enthusiasts and module makers on how to implement ART, including a free reference design that adds ART to Mutable Instruments Braids and Plaits.

The creative process of making music on a modular synthesizer is a unique tactile and aural experience. With ART modules, we are entering the territory of tunable instruments and polyphonic multi-timbral compositions but with the sound design power and immediate interface of a modular synthesizer. The initial release focuses on the mono VCOs that you can use to build voices quickly or combine for discrete polyphony. Very soon, we will extend the lineup with the fully polyphonic ART modules and the release of the Polytip patch cable."

ATX1

A classic all analog saw VCO core with 3 switchable modes, ART, 1V/Oct, LFO and is recommended as the basic building block for ART systems. It is designed for patching analog polyphonic synths from discrete modules or multi-mono patches in ART mode. When using ART the ATX1 takes care of the tuning including accounting for temperature changes. In 1V/Oct mode the ATX1 runs as a standard old school modular VCO. LFO mode drops the frequency range and is great for patching vibrato to other ATX1s among other things. The ATX1 outputs variable waveshapes with manual or CV control. Classic FM, PWM and hard sync are provided. A dedicated Gate Out in ART mode manages the voice envelopes or any modulation synced to that voice. We consider the ATX1 the best sounding analog VCO we ever created.

Vintage Rare Drum Machine - Kay Memory Rhythm Machine (DRM-1) SN 04916

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

via this auction

"It’s basically one of the takes on Boss DR-55, authentically made in Japan. as far as I’m aware - these were sold as diy kits back in 80s, but functionally are identical to Boss DR-55, sound is also the same/almost the same.

please, NOTE, it’s been modified to be powered from … eurorack offset voltage.

power now is on minijack socket. you just take an offset from eurorack system, and plug it in to power the drum machine, directly, using eurorack patch cable. it will take any voltage from approx. 5v up to 12v.

it also has analogue clock output, and cymbal trigger output, so will sync with everything perfectly.

currently it won’t accept any other power sources, but it’s a very mod friendly machine! as mentioned above, they were sold as diy kits at some point, so they beg you for modifications. I believe it even can be modified to fit into eurorack housing, and it shouldn’t be hard."

BAF 2024: EarthQuaker Devices - Wave Transformer

video upload by sonicstate

"At BAF 2024 Sonic State had the opportunity to speak with Karl from EarthquakerDevices about their latest release, The Wave Transformer oscillator. This complex single oscillator is fully analog and features a unique wave shaping circuit called Transform. Unlike traditional wave folders, Transform breaks the waveform apart, applies voltage math, and reassembles it on the output, resulting in an asymmetric crumpled waveform with added harmonics. The Wave Transformer offers seven different outputs and nine inputs, providing plenty of versatility for modulation and sound design.

The Wave Transformer also offers both hard and soft sync options, each providing their own sonic flavours, and by utilizing bipolar signals, users can achieve different sync sounds and even create filtering effects.

The Wave Transformer is available now. Price 199 USD"

"The Wave Transformer is an analog, vintage-voiced, voltage-controlled oscillator with over 8 octaves of accurate pitch tracking. It has 7 simultaneous wave outputs, including a unique Complex output.

The Transform control morphs from a basic waveform through many strange iterations into a complex, gnarled mass of audio mutations at the Complex output. You can yield countless variations on these permutations by combining this novel circuit with Hard Sync, Soft Sync, Linear FM and Exponential FM. Additionally, you can mute the source waveform to use the circuit as a harmonic gate/VCA, rendering The Wave Transformer a voice unto itself. If that is not enough, there is a Shape Insert that allows you to transform external oscillations and modular-level audio sources."

Forms - Novation Circuit Tracks Pack by Techtronix

video upload by Isotonik Studios

"Forms, takes a light from a different direction. Music that makes you want to move.

Garage music originated with it mainly being played on pirate radio, It was simply undeniable on dance floors because of its swing and syncopation.
It had a tendancy to naturally make people dance, and as an underground genre, it soon took its form and became massive in the 90's with artists like DJ EZ and the Artful Dodger.

Some of the best Garage music was on white label, Lost in time, these old tapes and records are hard to find.
Forms brings a big slice of this back to the Novation Circuit Tracks, right back to that innocent time when people were passionate about making good music, and bringing it to the masses. Forms leaves you wanting nothing more than time to create.

With a massive selection of 128 patches, 16 inspiring sessions and a percectly suited drum kit for Garage music

FORMS BONUS PERFOMANCE PADS

There are four perfomance pads on each page of project pages at the bottom

These go from green to red.
They are different speed kick drum build ups.
so the fist is a crash and kick. for a drop.
the second one is a 1/4 kick drum.
the next is a faster one, 1/8 twice the speed
and finally the last one is 16ths.
This gives you a way of switching between sesions with a little transition when playing live. It will also stay in sync with your swing and tempo from the project you are switching from. These are Called Performance Pads. and are exclusive to this pack!

To date there hasn't been a Garage pack on the Novation Circuit eco system. Forms not only puts that to bed, but lays a stamp on the 2 step Garage genre,
which is clearly here to stay

The Wave Transformer // EarthQuaker's Boldest Device Yet ( & it isn't even a pedal)

video upload by Jorb

"I love a lot about this module.

Its a rock solid oscillator, which yes there are a ton of them, but this needs to be if its gonna compete. And the waveshaping from the transform circuit gives it enough of its own character to stand out.

I think its priced competitively, it does all the things other up-market "standard" oscillators do (built-in attenuators for modulation, hard and soft sync, built in sub) and it has so much of its own character.

If there's any downside, its kind of a lot of HP? But not really when you consider the sum of its parts. On all fronts, we got a banger.

Bastl Introduces Neo Trinity - 6-Channel Compact Modulation Hub

video uploads by Bastl Instruments

"Neo Trinity is a 6-channel compact modulation hub with great musical complexity achievable with simple gestures. Each of the 6 channels can be either LFO, envelope generator, or a CV knob recorder, while their main parameter can be automated with the REC button.

Each channel also features a recordable trigger generator with an algorithmic fill feature to get the inspiration started or to make things polymetric and keep your patches ever-changing. Use the SHIFT button to change modulation shapes and sync selected or all channels to an internal or external clock.

Neo Trinity has been designed with performance in mind, so it includes channel mutes and allows storing whole presets as banks.

While the core mechanics of the module are very straightforward, the inclusion of assignable CV inputs exponentially increases the complexity of the module’s behavior. Control some or all channels in different ways with the META IN and utilize channels’ E and F dedicated inputs. The inputs can control the main parameter in a positive or inverted way, control the output amplitude, and act as an external trigger or a trigger for the internal Sample & Hold function. The CV knob recorder mode also acts as a quantizer, and when combined with the CV inputs, it turns into a handy voltage processor."

Bastl Neo Trinity - A Modulation Mastermind?

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"Neo Trinity from Bastl is a module for generating control Voltage - which is the most generic description of a module I've ever made, but that's because it's a very flexible module which makes it hard to describe in a single sentence. It caters to your envelope, LFO, offset generation needs, but that's mixed in with a very “jammable” approach to sequencing and automation, that welcomes rapid iteration on a performance.

In this video my plan is to introduce Neo Trinity to you from an architectural standpoint, then try to give you a feel for its workflow by building up a patch through a few layers of complexity, while mixing in a few extra examples of patches I've been playing with as I've been exploring it.

Forms - Novation Circuit Tracks Pack by Techtronix

video uploadS by Isotonik Studios

"Forms, takes a light from a different direction. Music that makes you want to move.

Garage music originated with it mainly being played on pirate radio, It was simply undeniable on dance floors because of its swing and syncopation.
It had a tendancy to naturally make people dance, and as an underground genre, it soon took its form and became massive in the 90's with artists like DJ EZ and the Artful Dodger.

Some of the best Garage music was on white label, Lost in time, these old tapes and records are hard to find.
Forms brings a big slice of this back to the Novation Circuit Tracks, right back to that innocent time when people were passionate about making good music, and bringing it to the masses. Forms leaves you wanting nothing more than time to create.

With a massive selection of 128 patches, 16 inspiring sessions and a percectly suited drum kit for Garage music

FORMS BONUS PERFOMANCE PADS

There are four perfomance pads on each page of project pages at the bottom

These go from green to red.
They are different speed kick drum build ups.
so the fist is a crash and kick. for a drop.
the second one is a 1/4 kick drum.
the next is a faster one, 1/8 twice the speed
and finally the last one is 16ths.
This gives you a way of switching between sesions with a little transition when playing live. It will also stay in sync with your swing and tempo from the project you are switching from. These are Called Performance Pads. and are exclusive to this pack!

To date there hasn't been a Garage pack on the Novation Circuit eco system. Forms not only puts that to bed, but lays a stamp on the 2 step Garage genre,
which is clearly here to stay
