Meng Qi Squishable Modular Synth Workstation

via Meng Qi

"Squishable Modular Synth Workstation is a self-contained modular synth instrument. It has 3 parts that are all essential to the playing and composing experience.

Sidrassi is a analog modular synthesizer with 7 independent voices, each voice has 6 CV patch points, thus you can modulate each voice with audio signal and gesture signal from other voices. Sidrassi is designed by Peter B (http://www.ciat-lonbarde.net) and SMSW uses Peter’s original PCB.

VM (Voltage Memory) is interally connected to control pitch of 4 voices / main pitch / timber of Sidrassi. It provides save/recall feature, and it offers a vast number of modularized recalling methods. Thanks to it, SMSW can save 84 sets of tuning, so you can play complex chords, melodies and tonal music pieces. As well as complex automated pitch changes controlled internally or externally .

2 of AM (Arcade Manifold) provide a very versatile realtime re-patching and mixing system. And the format jumber feature allows SMSW to be connected to external modular system with ease*. Thanks to them, SMSW allows composers and players to travel anywhere between angelic triangle choir and demolic modulated chaos in absolute realtime, as well as connecting your SMSW to your other modular systems.



Designed based on Meng Qi’s vast experience of Sidrassi building.

*for safety of SMSW, please keep the incoming CV in 0-9v range."

New Division 6 Mr. Crotchety Eurorack Module

via Division 6

"Um... Wut? Why in tarnation does that Eurorack module have a smiley face on it?

At its heart, Mr. Crotchety is a random voltage generator. ...only it's not really random. This module has moods. I'd love to explain how to use it, but during development it's become increasingly clear that it is just going to do whatever it wants. Controls? Ha! Mr. Crotchety was having none of that nonsense, so we ended up removing them all. If you mess with it enough you can alter its disposition to some extent, which does make for some interesting live performances, but mostly you can forget about it.

This module is useful wherever you need a touch of uncertainty and cantankerousness.

Specifications:

Power supply: +/- 12 VDC (reverse-polarity protected!)
Power draw: Whatever it feels like drawing
Width: 4HP
Depth: Your face
Inputs: Nope
Outputs: Yup, there's one.
Controls: Good luck with that.

Includes:
Mr. Crotchety
Doepfer-style Power Cable
(2) M3 x 6mm Rack Screws w/ Nylon Washers

Coming November 1, 2013. Probably."

New Division 6 VM Eurorack Module

via Division 6

"See exactly what your signals are doing! VM is a super-skinny (2HP) volt meter utility module for your Eurorack modular synthesizer. It can indicate voltages between -12V and +12V. The meter lights red to indicate a positive voltage and blue to indicate negative.

VM offers 3 different display modes:

Dot Mode: One LED lights at a time, indicating voltage to the nearest volt.
Precision Dot Mode: Up to two LEDs light at a time. The solid one indicates volts, and the dim/flashing one indicates tenths of a volt.
Bar Mode: All LEDs up to and including the indicated voltage light up.

Richard Devine "Mu5ca-diN3"- late night modular patch

"Mu5ca-diN3"- late night modular patch from Richard Devine on Vimeo.

"Modular track I recorded late last night. Everything clocked from one intellijel Dixie to a Doepfer A-160,161, MakeNoise Brains, Pressure Points X 2. Clock division gates sent out from the 4ms SCM, and RCD. Beats courtesy of the CycleBox II and TipTop BD808 kick. Make noise phonogene processing the cwejman S1 analogue percussion zaps. String layer and and lead created with a Cwejman VM-1 and VCO2RM with the help of a intellijel uScale quantizer/MMF-1/ washed through a bit of reverb from the Eventide Space, and Tiptop Z-DSP, Z-5000. finally the Op-1doing light sine tone sprinkles...

Note: No drum machines or computers used in this video."

LIVE MODULAR TRACK RECORDED IN ONE TAKE WITHOUT OVERDUBBING!

Musical Elements:

"B-Boy Flange Hats"
Mungo dDS noise channel activated via trigger in modification. Flanging effect via Yamaha AD-202 Analog Delay.

"Conga Heart Beat"
MFB Drum-06 Tom Tom module into Analogue Systems RS-100 Low Pass Filter. The tom interchanges as a fill with the kick drum via alternating switching by using VCAs with an Intellijel Flip Flop.

"Snappy Chorus Claps"
Sound of a Pittsburgh Modular Generator frequency modulated by itself and white noise. The internal VCA of the Generator is controlled by an Analogue Systems RS-60 Envelope. It then goes into a Doepfer A-136 Distortion/Waveshaper and on into a Flight of Harmony Sound of Shadows delay.

"Rubber Bass Kicks"
MFB Drum-04 Bass Drum module Sequenced by an Analogue Systems RS-200 Sequential Controller into an RS-100 Low Pass Filter. I reset the sequence with a foot switch via a Doepfer A-177-2 External Foot Controller II module.

"G-Funk Bird Calls"
Cwejman VM-1 sequenced via an RS-200 Sequential Controller into an RS-110 Multimode Filter using the high-pass output. It then goes into a Pittsburgh Modular Analogue Delay and on into a Zoom 9200 Reverb.

"Metal-Beaded Cabasa"
Elby Designs CGS747 Cynare Simulator triggered via a Doepfer A-166 Dual Logic Module.

"Com Trusian Chords"
Roland Juno-106 into a Boss RX-100 Spring Reverb.

"Aztec God Rays"
While the Juno-106 is played polyphonically is also activating a mono channel of a Kenton Pro-2 Midi-to-CV converter which is controlling another Cwejman VM-1. The envelope in set in such a way that the sound emerges once the gate is released. It goes into a Doepfer A-199 Spring Reverb which is feeding back into the VM-1 via the audio input jack.

"Ticklish Chimp Giggles"
The result of a complex feedback loop involving a Doepfer A-138m Matrix Mixer, an MFB DRUM-05 Snare Drum module, an Elby Designs CGS735 Synthacon Filter, a Pittsburgh Modular VC Bend and an Elby Designs ED108 ChaQuO.

"Didgeridoo Error Stabs"
The Kawai K5000W keyboard is acting as a Midi controller for another channel of CV via a Kenton Pro-2. It controls 2 Bubblesound uLFOs going into a Make Noise QMMG modulated by a Make Noise Maths.

Acidlab Autobot live improv demo

YouTube Published on Jul 31, 2012 by shane etter

"Live improv over a new Reverb And The Verse song. This is meant as a demo video for 'tap write mode' on the Autobot, which I can see using on lots of future tracks. This thing has totally changed my feeling towards my euro-rack, in that its now really inspirational tonally. Before, it was mostly an afterthought.
The Acidlab Autobot is a 303 sequencer for eurorack; it has no sound of its own. It is driving a Cwejman VM-1 on really basic settings using a lowpass and a Sawtooth wave. The cv/gate are driving the Cwejman, while the Accent out is sent to filter frequency.
I have intentionally turned down the song to showcase the Autobot better.

Signal path: eurorack to Speck Xtramix to RME Fireface 800."

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.
