Flanging PERfourMER MKII

video upload by vermonagear

"Today we are going to feed our PERfourMER MKII with a little MIDI sequence. The fourth synthesizer channel plays the bass, while the first three are connected in PLAYMODE P2. This means that each incoming MIDI note triggers a different synthesizer channel. We will introduce the first three voices, one at a time to develop the sequence.

The MAIN OUT is routed through LogicPro, where we add flanger and delay effects.

Enjoy the performance!"

video upload by vermonagear

"Since we released the MIDI companion module MEX3 for our meloDICER, you can use it with any polyphonic synthesizer that has MIDI inputs. In this video we have connected the eurorack duo to a ‪@1010music‬ nanobox, specifically the Fireball wavetable synthesizer. What a great sounding little box! Enjoy this little performance. If you like it, please leave a thumbs up, a comment and/or a subscription.

Special thanks to our friends at ‪@tomesoTV‬ for lending us the Fireball!"

PERfourMER MKII - rubber band session #1

video upload by vermonagear

"We are playing the PERfourMER MKII's cutoff frequencies and keep them in sync with the help of some rubber bands. OK, it's not a perfect synchronization, but, on the other hand, these deviations turned out to be quite musical. We are still working on improvements."

DRM1 MKIV - one beat // different sounds

00:00 - Intro
00:12 - Start the beat
01:42 - Outro

"In the fourth episode of our “one beat // different sounds” series, we start with a high resonant low snare with a lot of reverb tail—notice how the snare sound reacts to velocity.
The kick growls with a medium decay, while DRUM 1 adds another deep percussive kick whose BEND is very velocity dependent.

Please use headphones or a good pair of speakers as you may not be able to enjoy beat 4 on a smartphone or the speakers in your flat screen."

DRM1 MKIV - one beat // different sounds

00:00 - Intro

01:20 - Outro

Drum kit No. 3 for our *one beat // different sounds* series. We still haven’t changed any of the steps in the sequence, so the only variation is in the timbres.
Here we have made the CLAP instrument much shorter and with only one click at the beginning. The SNARE has a long and bright noise tail. Also both HI HAT channels got a larger portion of noise, compared to last week.
Don’t forget to use headphones!

Let us know in the comments which instrument you like best in this video."

DRM1 MKIV - one beat // different sounds

00:00 - Intro
00:12 - Start the beat
01:31 - Outro

"This is the beginning of a new video series about the DRM1 MKIV. We will feed our drum synthesizer with the same beat, but in each part of the series we will use different sounds. We want to explore with you how the feel of the rhythm changes when the tones are altered.

Here, we are using a Korg SQ-64 sequencer to trigger the DRM1 MKIV via MIDI. The first sequence has 16 steps and a tempo of 91 bpm.

We recommend the use of headphones! No external effects are used. Enjoy the video."

Brothers 👨‍👦‍👦 (Vermona DRM1 MKIV 8-voice analog drum synth // Perfourmer MKII + H9 + Bigsky + Pill)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"First video featuring the Vermona DRM-1 8-voice analog drum synth 😊 For a long time I've been stopping myself from getting one as I already have the MAM ADX-1 which is a bit an ancestor of this DRM-1! But the Vermona Perfourmer was feeling a bit lonely 😅

In this video, I decided to use my DAW to sequence both instruments as I wanted to be able to "play" the knobs on the instruments 😉

The track starts with the BASS (Voice 1 of the Perfourmer) and PLUCK (Voice 3 panned left & voice 4 panned right, of the Perfourmer through the H9 reverb). Then comes the KICK (Voice 1 of the DRM1) which is going into the Pill ducking pedal to trigger it.
Afterwards arrives the LEAD (Voice 3 of the Perfourmer through the Bigsky reverb + Pill ducking pedal) and the 7 other voices of the DRM1 (wanted initially to use them through the Particle granular delay, but didn't have enough time to blend it in! 😅).

* Hardware used *

// BASS:
- Vermona Perfourmer Voice 1

// LEAD:
- Vermona Perfourmer Voice 2 + Strymon Bigsky (reverb) + Pill (ducking pedal)

// PLUCK:
- Vermona Perfourmer Voices 3&4 + Eventide H9 Max (reverb)

// DRUMS:
- Vermona DRM1 (8-voice analog drum synth)

Retroverb Lancet: More Than Just a Spring Reverb

video upload by vermonagear

"We have several spring reverb products, but Retroverb Lancet is our most versatile. It has a multimode filter, a VCA section, and an overdrive.

For modulation sources, Retroverb Lancet has an LFO that can be synced to incoming gate signals, an envelope generator, and an envelope follower.

Do you know the typical sound of a spring reverb that has been kicked? With Retroverb Lancet, you can create that sound with the push of a button, or even trigger it with an external gate signal thanks to its unique CRASH function.

Retroverb Lancet is so flexible that it can even create percussive sounds. We made all the sounds in this video using it. If you want to learn more about Retroverb Lancet, please visit our homepage (www.vermona.com). You can also leave your comments below, and we will be happy to answer them.

meloDICER/MEX3 — Jam Session with Logic Pro

video upload by vermonagear

"We hooked up two MeloDICER/MEX3-collectives to control software instruments in Logic Pro.

The left meloDICER is playing a bass guitar software instrument with a repeating pattern. The right meloDICER hits the keys of an electric piano plugin. It runs freely without repeating patterns while we are changing some settings regarding REST probability for voices 2 and 3, rhythm and melody.

Logic Pro is the drummer.

We hope you enjoy our little jam session. Feel free to leave a comment below if you have any questions or hints and would be happy to receive a thumbs up from you.

Trickledown Modular Tetris - A Quick Test After Filling The Holes

video upload by John L Rice

"Another quick test after changes. This is another side affect of the @vermonagear MEX3 coming out, because when making changes to my briefcase system I ended up stealing the @4ms_company Wav Recorder from this system for it, so I had to fill in the left over 6hp of space with something else. 😅🤓 I put in the @division6labs Mix VI and @noiseeng Clep Diaz."

TwinVCFilter Pinging Performance

video upload by vermonagear

"In this patch, we're using twinVCFilter as the sole sound source to demonstrate its versatility and sonic richness. FourMative CONTOURS is used as the pinging source for both filter sections. The envelope itself is triggered by randomRHYTHM.
One of the filter sections is sequenced by the 1V/OCT out of meloDICER.
All CUTOFF frequencies and the MIX function of twinVCFilter are modulated internally and by a fourMULATOR and a uniCYCLE."

Polyphonic Dreams: PERfourMER MKII, meloDICER and MEX3

video upload by vermonagear

"The PERfourMER MKII is sequenced by a meloDICER directly via MIDI through the MEX3 module. With MEX3 the meloDICER can create sequences with up to three voices.

The Floatingpoints Instruments (formerly @ERMErfindungsbuero) Multiclock is used as a MIDI controller for the additional REST parameters of voices two and three as well as for controlling velocity and ACCENT probability.

The @OTOMACHINES BIM is the only effect used in this performance.

Enjoy the show!
