2019 Meets 1979 - Volca Modular Through Korg Ms10

video by ChrisLody

"Apologies that this is a bit long and self indulgent, I was having way to much fun here. This is something I've been meaning to try for a while, running the Volca Modular through the Korg Ms10 via a prototype breadboard. I don't have a modular system (yet) but it turns out this is a great way to have some fun. The Modular and the Ms10 are from totally different eras obviously and don't even appear to be compatible. The Ms10 uses the Hz/V for it's oscillators and S-Trigger to trigger it's envelope, meaning when the input receives a ground pulse it is triggered. The Volca Modular uses it's own weird 0.5v/Oct pitch standard so CV from the VM to the Ms10 is not possible, and uses the more conventional triggering method of positive pulses triggering it's envelopes. Luckily though connecting the output pulse of Function 1 is completely reversed and is a gate not a trigger so will even preserve note length so this is used to trigger the Ms10 envelope. The Volca Modular can convert incoming voltages into it's standard but that does not include the Hz/V standard unfortunately, so I'm just running the audio out into the Ms10 and using the raw oscillator outputs as audio rate modulators. Also we can use the noise output routed to the VM as a noise source.

So the top 2 sections of the video were recorded at the same time along with the sync out from the VM into Reaper. I then recorded the bottom 2 sections while the sync pulse plays back into the VM so it all syncs up.

In the top half I'm running audio to the Ms10's input from the VM, triggering the envelope from the VM's Function 1 which controls the envelope routed to the filter. The noise output on the Ms10 is fed back to the VM and i'm using the LFO output on the Ms10 to control the length of Function 2.

The bottom half of the video has the output of LPG1 routed to control the filter which gives us some tasty filter FM. Also the raw output of one of the VM's source oscillators is routed to the oscillator frequency also giving some nasty sounding FM tones. Additionally I have a modded Fab Echo pedal set up which is a pretty cool delay, much nicer than the stock echo it used to make.

I'm sure there's much more to explore here so this will probably pop up again soon I imagine. Once I've fully explored this I'll make a tutorial. I imagine this would work on an Ms20 too.

Life blog bit: I had my first Astra Zeneca jab yesterday and it was pretty nasty. I got the jab at 4.30pm, went to bed at 11.30pm shivering uncontrollably then woke up feeling like I'd been beaten with hammers all night. It took until about 11.00am until I had the energy to get up and I'm still not quite right at 3.30pm the day after. Apparently the second dose is worse. Not looking forward to it now!"

Cwejman VM-1 Meets SH-101

YouTube via bigcitymusic
"We're using the sequencer from the classic Roland SH-101 to play the Cwejman VM-1 Voice Module / Multimode Filter.

The VM-1 is an incredible module that contains a versatile Cwejman oscillator as well as Cwejman's renowned Multimode filter. Unlike the MMF-1 the VM-1 gives you the "Mode Morph" knob which allows you to sweep through the different filter modes. These include low, band, and highpass. You also have the ability to fade between filtering the oscillator and an external audio source.

The VM-1 has 7 different oscillator waveforms to choose from and includes a control knob for pulse width. It has audio outputs for the filter and the voice. The VM-1 also has a versatile envelope section, allowing you to control both amplitude and filter envelopes in conjunction or separately. The best thing is, it sounds great."

SonicProjecs V-Machine Bundle with BCR2000

Playing and tweaking sounds with the following setup:

- SM Pro Audio V-Machine
- SonicProjects VM Bundle
- Behringer BCR2000
- Korg DW8000 (only used as master keyboard)

Have a look at the used controller templates:

OP-X:
http://www.sonicprojects.ch/vmbundle/...

Stringer:
http://www.sonicprojects.ch/vmbundle/...

The master keyboard (Korg DW8000) is connected by MIDI cable to the V-Machine. The Behringer BCR2000 controller is connected by USB cable to the V-Machine (which offers two USB connectors). The SonicProjects VM Bundle is installed on the V-Machine and produces the sound including effects. The line outputs of the V-Machine are directly connected to an amplifier (using the green jack cables) which drives a pair of Yamaha NS-10 speakers. The audio of the video was recorded with the integrated room microphone of the video cam.

The installed SonicProjects VM Bundle is a bundle of adapted versions of OP-X (a virtual analog synth), Stringer (a sample based vintage string machine emulator), two custom made effect plugins (reverb and delay) as well as two banks with many ready to play presets in VFX format.

The VM Bundle also contains a BCR2000 toolkit that offers a custom sysex preset for the BCR2000 that matches the pre-mapped versions of the banks. After loading the sysex preset from a MIDI sequencer into the BCR2000 the setup can be immediatly used and offers a knob or button for every single parameter of OP-X and Stringer without the need of manual configuration. The BCR2000 toolkit also includes two printable templates that show which parameter is mapped to which BCR control.

This setup can serve as a complete hardware synth replacement and allows for tweaking and programming sounds as it used to be in former days, with a hardware control for each single function.

Furthermore - and this is even better than in a normal analog synth with knobs - the knobs and buttons on BCR2000 update automatically to the values of the new presets on preset change using MIDI feedback (has to be activated in the V-Machine before). This allows for tweaking parameters without annoying value jumps.

So this setup is a real dream offering immediate playing and tweaking fun which a usual pc/mouse setup is far away from. It's also a great leightweight and cheap solution for the stage.

This video is also available in a long version where in the intro is shown how to load the sysex preset into the BCR2000:

via this auction

"The manufacturer write up is below, but this is essentially a full blown Cwejman synth in one module. The great thing is that you can either bypass the internal VCO, or plug in another sound source to mix with the VCO and use the VCA and Envelope(s) from the VM-1. It's an unbelievable module. I have since gotten some other individual Cwejman modules and do not need this one at this time. You can see it in the bottom right row of the listing photo.

Cwejman makes his modules in extremely small batches and (after some inquiries about other modules) the VM-1 is not on the current list of modules in the pipeline.

The manual is on the cwejman website.

The VM-1 is a complete voice module with an oscillator, multi mode filter, amplifier and 2 envelope generators. The OSCILLATOR can produce seven basic waveforms. The pitch is controlled manually by the 'COARSE' and 'FINE TUNE' controls, and also by the variable CV1 and CV2 inputs. The pitch CV inputs are carefully trimmed for 1 Volt/octave sensitivity.

The pulse width can be controlled by the 'PULSE WIDTH' control and by external signals inserted into variable input "PWM". The SYNC is provided by an external signal to input SYNC.

The 4-pole Multi Mode Filter consists of an audio mixer (MIX), filter and modulation controllers for cutoff, q-peak and output morph. The MIX control mixes two signals; oscillators output and external audio signal (AUDIO). The MMF is a 4-pole multi mode filter.

The low pass, band pass and high pass mode are mixed at filters output by morphing function; knob MODE MORPH and controllable by an external CV signal MORPH and outgoing level is attenuated by a voltage controlled amplifier."

VFX Mac Part 1: OP-X

"http://www.sonicprojects.ch/vmbundle/

SonicProjects OP-X included in the VM Bundle played within the SM Pro Audio VFX application while at the same time recording the audio output of VFX to a track of Apple GarageBand.

SonicProjects OP-X originally is a windows only plugin. With VFX and the adapted version of the VM Bundle it's nevertheless possible to play and record it on intel macs.

This is a general example how to play and use a windows only VSTi with an apple intel mac. The advantage of VM Bundle is that it's optimized for it and also can be used in the optional V-Machine hardware box.

CWEJMAN VOICE MODLUE VM-1

via this auction

See the seller's other items for more.

"the vm-1 is a complete voice module with an oscillator, multimode filter, amplifier and two different envelope generators.

the oscillator can produce seven basic waveforms. the pitch is controlled manually by the knobs coarse and fine and by attenuable cv1 and cv2 inputs. the pitch cv inputs are carefully trimmed for 1 volt/octave sensitivity. the pulse width can be controlled by the knob "pulse width" and by external signals inserted to attenuable input "pwm". the sync is provided by an external signal to input sync.

the multimode filter consists of an audio mixer (labelled "mix"), filter and modulation controls for cutoff, q-peak (resonance) and output morph. the mix control mixes two signals the oscillator's output and the external audio signal (audio). the multimode filter is a four pole multimode filter. the lowpass, bandpass and highpass modes are mixed at the filter output by the morphing function, knob mode morph and controllable by an external cv signal morph. the outgoing level is attenuated by a voltage controlled amplifier.

the vm-1 makes an excellent starter module for people interested in modular systems. it provides all of the basic functions a programmer needs in order to start producing sound, but still with the external control possibilities that a modular user benefits from. the only other thing required to begin is a rack case, power supply and of course cables.

Eurostep Jam #2

Eurostep Jam #2 from cv slime 800 on Vimeo.

"'Eurostep' was probably only intended to be a jokey genre title. A few people have made use of it in videos or mp3s posted on the muffwiggler forum. Basically, I take it to mean current trends in dance music (most notably dubstep) interpreted on Eurorack modular synth (well, it wouldn't have to be Eurorack format in particular but you get the idea) rather than using software like Ableton Live or whatever else. I like this idea though, so I am going to run with it as an actual genre. Join in.

As far as the patch goes, each sound went through individual channels of the Make Noise QMMG and were mixed together into the various inputs of the Elby Designs CGS735 Synthacon filter.

A droning root note from the Harvestman Piston Honda was sent into the audio input of the Cwejman VM-1 Voice module. A random noise voltage was being quantized by the Doepfer A-156 Dual Quantizer to the notes of a minor 7 chord for the VM-1 CV input. The droning audio input is then mixed in with the VM-1 internal Oscilator creating duophonic chordal basslines."

SonicProjects OP-X PRO software synth featuring the Separate Voice Design (SVD) modeling technology compared to an Oberheim OB-X

To verify the showed comparison demos you can download the used patches in fxb bank format here:

Bank for the full version:

Demo version of OP-X PRO:
http://www.sonicprojects.ch/opxpro/de...

You will notice that the sound of course is much better without the youtube compression. If you want to exactly recreate the examples you also need to play the same voices, which can be recognized by their panorama setting

To keep everything uncolored and clean for a real 1:1 comparison the stereo outputs of OB-X were recorded directly to daw using an apogee converter. OP-X PRO was rendered directly to harddisk as well.

Furthermore all voices of OP-X PRO before were calibrated to the exact same settings (pan, filter cutoff) as the corresponding voices (6 as well) in the hardware device. With a few exeptions always the same voices were compared by always starting at the same voice position in the circular allocation, which might sometimes give the impression that the same audio file was used. But if you listen very carefully there still can be noticed tiny differences. OB-X generally is a tad bit slimmer and brighter sounding with more weight in the heights and less in the mids while OP-X PRO is a bit darker and has more weight in the mids.

Separate Voice Design (SVD):
http://www.sonicprojects.ch/obx/separ...

This modeling technology used by OP-X PRO is based on completely independent voices with separate signal path and slightly differend sound, as it is the case too in voltage controlled polyphonic analog synths which in fact are based on separate monosynths that are globally controlled. Other than real synths OP-X PRO allows to globally activate and deactivate the detunings of individual parameter groups on demand as well as fine tuning them for each voice separatly with virtual trimpots. This allows for a wide palette of colors between completely "pissed off" and tight and precise. This allows to recreate the character of different synths or to copy the voice settings and character of one specific device in its current state, as it has been done in this video.

The detunings of the following parameter groups can be independently activated and deactivated as well as tuned in detail per voice:

- oscillator pitch
- filter cutoffs
- filter envelope times
- portamento times

All settings of course can be saved with the preset. Have a look at the video to learn what impact those fine tunings can have on the general character of the sound."

Oberheim OB-X vs. V-Machine (OP-X)


Oberheim Digital: OP-X and V-Machine


"SonicProjects VM Bundle hosted by the SM Pro Audio V-Machine. Playing some presets of OP-X while tweaking parameters with an external controller device.

The masterkeyboard is an EMU X-Board 61 and the controller device a Behringer BCR2000. Both are connected by USB cable to the V-Machine.

Combined with the pre-mapped banks and the custom sysex preset of the included BCR2000 toolkit BCR2000 allows to remotely control every single parameter of OP-X (83 in total).

With MIDI feedback activated in the V-Machine the controls on the BCR automatically update to the settings of the new preset on preset change which allows for value jump free parameter control.

This setup can serve as a complete replacement of a real analog hardware synth offering digital reliability and great transportability without missing the beloved fat and organic sound.

The used presets are:
01 - Jump!
02 - OB-Xa SyncSolo
03 - Shine On Solo
59 - SEM Upsweep
55 - OB Sustained Strings

To know which parameter is mapped to which control the included BCR2000 Toolkit contains handy printable mapping templates."

New eurorack module:

"We all love Eurorack for all the infinite possibilities it presents to create new sound machines. However, when you aspire for more voices and more timbres within Eurorack, that usually requires a significant amount of space and budget outlay. That leaves you no viable options, other than to leave your Eurorack and attempt to connect with outboard gear that does not easily integrate. Now – with Dino Park – you gain access to a world of infinite sonic possibilities, while staying within your Eurorack!

Dino Park is not fixed synthesis architecture – it is as flexible as your Eurorack. It can load different “synth models” which feature radically different forms of synthesis – including vintage subtractive, additive, wavetable and FM – providing infinitely expandable and exciting sonic capabilities in every Eurorack.

Now increasing the sonic potential of your Eurorack has never been easier, or more affordable! . For newbies, Dino Park offers an easy, cost effective and gratifying way to start off their rack journey with a big sound foundation. For Eurorack veterans, Dino Park can close a lot of gaps and enrich any Eurorack performance. True “ best of” utility in big analog sound with the recall-reliability of digital.

We offer three Dino Park kits for the Eurorack"

Mini-Case Patch

Mini-Case Patch from cv slime 800 on Vimeo.

Experimenting with 2 Doepfer A-199 Spring Reverbs. I keep them outside a case so that I can play them by hand - sort of like a stereo Knas Moisturizer! I found that if you place the tanks against one another, each will ring the other slightly. Here I also placed them on the body of an acoustic bass to see if that would make them pick up addition vibrations (probably didn't make a difference though :) The main sound comes from a Cwejman VM-1 but it is sent into the reverbs at different points in the path, then the feedback outputs of the A-199s are mixed with a uLFO and go back into the VM-1 through the external audio input. The notes and pitches are activated by a Moog EP-2 expression pedal through a Doepfer A-177-2 External Foot Controller module.
