Octatrack & Gotharman's LD3 live techno teste

video upload by Meska

"Building a live setup is alway's compromise, size and complexity is alway a probleme. Here is my take for 2024/2025 with only the Octartrack and the Gotharma's LD3.
I work on a 1h liveset with this 2 machines and the limitation they bring.
put i'm pretty happy with the result, no external FX i use.

Sample jam on the new studio

video upload by Meska

"Here a quick jam , more proof of concept, done only with sample , from a eurorack session record with friends in paris.
We have plan to do more jam, and perhaps make an EP with the track made of the Jam sound material. This one is a quick one done in 1H, like i say more a proof of concept.
Since only sample was use, most of the sound you hear come from Octatrack and gotharman's LD3 with some euro sound process

Soundtrack vibes - Plinky with Meska Presets

video upload by Making Sound Machines

"Channeling #soundtrack vibes in this slow-building Sunday jam, recorded late last night!

This is our second clip in a small series showing off the new #Plinky sound bank created by by @Meska_Statik. The Bank is a free download at https://plinkysynth.com/presets/ and works for all generations of #Plinky.

It contains 32 presets exploring lush #delay, cavernous #reverb, pitch drift and gnarly #saturation. For Meska's overview of all sounds, and a number of awesome patch from scratch videos, check out [this video].

Plinky is synched via MIDI clock to our #Stolperbeats drum trigger sequencer for #Eurorack, playing back a recorded note sequence. Stolperbeats is in extra sloppy "Kabuki" mode, suggested by our friend and expert breakbeat researcher @beatsbykabuki: Kick and Snare are super laid back, Hihats are a bit rushed, except when they play at the same time- creating this awesome push-and-pull #groove. In this patch, Enrica tweaks the sensitivity on Plinky to slowly build up a wall of sound.

Plinky's pitch CV feeds the lovely-sounding @Befacosynth evenVCO through their A*B+C VCA for a low-frequency, subby bass line.

The drum sounds are played back using the Samples II module by @soundforce_nicolas and processed through our #Farbshaper and #Farbhighpass modules. The shaper adds some extra dirt, the transistor ladder highpass is used with the kick envelope to get a ducking effect by modulating its cutoff.

The metering tool at the top right is a @vaskiembedded 2HP Lights Stereo Visualizer, an incredibly handy audio visualisation module. Our friends Stijn and Priscilla of #TiNRS @thisisnotrocketscience3942 made the one-of-a-kind Eurorack case from a #FenixIV enclosure.

Plinky is an #expressive #polyphonic #touch #synthesizer, designed by mmalex and available as a #DIY kit from @ThonkSynthDIY"

Explore the dark side of Plinky - 32 free presets by Meska

video upload by Making Sound Machines

"New sounds for your Plinky! This awesome new bank of 32 presets by @Meska_Statik draws focus to the "dark" side of #Plinky, exploring lush delay, cavernous reverb, pitch drift and gnarly saturation.

The bank includes the #preset file, 8 samples and individual links for the browser-based patch editor. It works for all generations of Plinky and is a #free download at https://plinkysynth.com/presets

We already gave a little sneak peek of these sounds at @superboothberlin, so for this little snippet we broke our #Superbooth setup back out to give you a little musical demo showcasing one of the sounds, Preset 4: Footstep. We recorded a couple of clips showing one sound each in musical context, as a companion to Meska's overview of all sounds at • My 32 presets for Plinky [Meska's video above]

In this patch, Plinky plays back a recorded sequence and is synched via MIDI clock to our Stolperbeats drum trigger sequencer for Eurorack. Enrica plays the touch surface to insert individual notes into the arpeggio, and tweaks the A knob to adjust sensitivity on the touch grid to get a grittier sound.

Plinky's pitch CV drives a @Befacosynth evenVCO through their clever A*B+C VCA for a warm, subdued bassline.

The drum sounds from the GRRL x Made of Oak Configuration sample pack on @splice - check out their EP GXM Inertia, and the 10 year @sylvanesso anniversary release for some amazing music.

The samples are played using the Samples II module by @soundforce_nicolas and processed through our Farbshaper and Farbhighpass modules. The shaper adds some extra dirt, the transistor ladder highpass is used with the kick envelope to get a ducking effect by modulating its cutoff.

The metering tool at the top right is the incredibly clever and beautiful @vaskiembedded 2HP Lights Stereo Visualizer #audio #visualisation module, engineered by our friend Lauri. The Eurorack case itself is a beautifully crafted FenixIV case made by our friends @thisisnotrocketscience3942 from Amsterdam.

"Stray Drum" is a macro oscillator firmware based on FM and ring modulation for the Versio platform. This is a beta release, and it contains rough edges; even some parts of the front panel aren't in use yet, such as the audio inputs, the Trig button, and one of the switches.
The pitch input can track V/Oct after calibration. However, a calibration mechanism has not been implemented yet.
Pitch: Spans 5 octaves and can track V/Oct but requires calibration.

Spread: Introduces 2 harmonics to the root. Allows seamless adjustment between different chords and dissonant ratios, ideal for percussive sounds.

Feedback: Applies FM feedback to the operators, introducing harmonics up to noise into the base signal.

Attack: When turned to the left, it adds transitional noise that is pitch-filtered.

Decay: Provides a traditional decay effect.

Mode: Alters the modulation function applied to the base signal. It transitions seamlessly from no modulation to exponential decay to a sine wave. In the sine wave section, it can change the modulator frequency, up to a ratio of 5.

Amount: Governs the primary modulation. In exponential decay mode, moving it to the left produces ascending pitch, while moving it to the right creates a descending pitch. Extreme left and right settings select the longest pitch-shifting times.Now, switch to sine wave mode. When the amount is set to the right, it controls the degree of FM modulation. To the left, it adjusts the level of AM modulation, transitioning into ring modulation where the modulator transforms from a sine wave into a square wave.

How it sounds

With this set of controls you can shape its sound to powerful kick drums, classic snares and hihats. Percussive sounds like congas, claves, metallic objects, bells, electronic claps, etc.
It also works as a chord machine, giving a wide range of deep and obscure chords perfect for dub techno stabs. Especially when selecting a chord, apply FM to it and some reverb/delay effect."
