[SOUNDMIT 2022] SONOCURRENT M T2D / M C3A / C GF4 : modules de distorsion / distribution / macro

video upload by Les Sondiers

"Graham de Sonocurrent est venu de Baltimore au SoundMiT pour présenter ses 3 modules et un expander, les M T2D (double distorsion), M C3A (crossfader / distribution), C GF4 (macro controle et son expander le C GF4e). Plus d'infos : https://www.sonocurrent.com/"

"Graham from Sonocurrent came from Baltimore to SoundMiT to present his 3 modules and an expander, the M T2D (double distortion), M C3A (crossfader / distribution), C GF4 (macro control and its expander the C GF4e). More info: https://www.sonocurrent.com/"

M T2D dual triode distortion
The M T2D dual triode distortion is a Nutube-based distortion module for the Eurorack format, offering two independent channels which can be patched separately for parallel processing, stereo, or multiple sources, or used in series for more complex distortion of a single source (or simply extreme distortion settings).

Spectral tilt filters before each triode stage alternately boost or cut high and low frequencies for different harmonic emphasis. These filters also affect the feedback loops, and can interact in very interesting ways with high feedback settings. The individual tube bias controls can also have a strong influence in combination with high feedback levels, in addition to more subtle shaping of the distortion when feedback levels are low.

Independent control of input level, tube bias, feedback level, and dry/wet mix is available for each channel, with CV inputs for the bias and mix controls. The CV inputs for the mix controls also have dedicated attenuators. A global plate voltage switch offers two different character options, for either smoother distortion or more severe clipping.

Developed by Sonocurrent with circuit design and PCB layout by Eric Schlappi. Designed and assembled in the USA.

18HP | max. depth: 33mm | 210g | +12V: 111mA | -12V: 65mA

[SOUNDMIT 2022] KODAMO MASK 1 (+ DEMO) - New "Bitmask" Keyboard Synthesizer Incoming

video upload by Les Sondiers

New synth from KODAMO, makers of the EssenceFM, upcoming Bitmasker, and Infini.

"Exclusivité SoundMiT 2022, Kodamo présente un prototype très avancé de son nouveau Mask 1, un synthétiseur à base de synthèse de type bitmap, la fin de la vidéo comporte une démo sonore de l'instrument."

Googlish:

"Exclusive to SoundMiT 2022, Kodamo showcases a highly advanced prototype of its new Mask 1, a bitmap-based synthesis-based synthesizer, the end of the video features a sound demo of the instrument."

According to Kodamo, Bitmask is a new synthesis method that splits a sine waves into multiple parts which can then be rearranged. Reminds me of a mix between wavetable and granular synthesis.

Features:

Two oscillators with 200 bit masked waveforms & noise generator. Digital 12-state variable, four-mode, self-oscillating filter. Two multi-wave LFOs with 15 destinations. Seven envelopes for each oscillator with pitch, ADSR and delta envelopes. Ability to slur between notes held in a chord. Sound layering, splits, an arpeggiator, a built-in looper and polyphonic portamento. 61 key, velocity and channel aftertouch Fatar keyboard.
