fourMulator random madness

Published on Dec 10, 2015 vermonagear

"Two fourMulator modules are used as sequencers to drive a simple reverberated drum patch. Mainly the random wave outputs of the fourMulator modules are used which causes sudden and sometimes drastic changes while always keeping touch to the master clock and therefor remaining musical."

MeloDICER/MEX3: Jam with PERfourMER MKII and DRM1 MKIV

video upload by vermonagear

"In our latest video, we demonstrate a live setup with two meloDICER-MEX3 eurorack module combinations and randomRHYTHM as sequencer.

The modules sequence four channels of the DRM1 MKIV and all four channels of the PERfourMER MKII.

Vermona Quad Envelope NAMM Prototype

"That's our final #protoype of our quad #envelope #generator. You can check it out at #NAMMShow. Unfortunately we still have no name for it. Any ideas for one? Just tweet your name proposal with #findanameforquadenvelope"

Interesting that NAMM Prototype is printed on the module itself. Collector's item. :)

Vermona twinCussion 3 - Self Moving Knobs?!

Published on Jun 9, 2017 vermonagear

Just watch.

"With this video we demonstrate two twinCussion modules forming a compact modular drum machine.

Along with these we have used a few vca’s to treat the signals going between the two twinCussion modules.
One CV-sequence coming from a traditional step sequencer is used to apply index control over one of the
fm-modulation pathes.

We finally got 5 sounds out the two twinCussion modules in this patch as you can count. The synth voice like sound is a product of the left side twinCussion. To achive this we have processed EG1 thru a vca where the envelope controls its own amplitude and gets massively compressed so we finally have a very short and a very long envelope availible while both vesions obey to the envelope settings."

DRM1 MKIII paper cut intro

Published on Jan 25, 2016 vermonagear

"We were looking for a nice way to picture our DRM1 MKIII analogue drum synthesizer used as a percussive sound bank, rather then a drum machine played using a 16 step sequencer. We felt it was to boring to show how someone selects sounds, records them and creates rythmical/musical patterns thereof. Then we fell over the good old paper cut. This video is only the result of our studies with this technic. The first serious clip will be released soon."

VERMONA Announces DRM1 MK IV Drum Percussion Synthesizer

via VERMONA:

"We’re excited to launch this brand new update to our classic drum and percussion synthesizer VERMONA DRM1. The DRM1 is a key part in our history. Its first generation, released in the 90s as Syncussion DRM1, caught wide attention. The MKII-version then continued and broadened the success and breathed new life into the VERMONA brand at the turn of the millennium. With the DRM1 MKIII, that we have been building since 2006, we can now look back at a total of 25 years of DRM1! This makes it one of the longest-lived electronic musical instruments. And we’re ready to launch the next quarter-century with this analog drum synthesizer from VERMONA.

DRM1 MKIV: Familiar, yet evolved
At first glance, you may not notice any difference from its predecessor. Indeed, from the outside, there isn’t any! The overall concept and user interface have remained the same: There are eight instrument channels, each with nine knobs for sound shaping, pan and volume control. The DRM1 is a musical instrument, a creative tool that wants to be touched and played.

Instead of trying to reinvent or change an already well-proven external design, with this update to version MKIV we decided to focus on the inside. We took time to thoroughly listen into the circuits and put energy and care into its details: Thoughtfully tweaking frequency ranges, revamping control curves, adjusting levels and redesigning sub-circuits. Our goal was to make the DRM1 MKIV the best drum synthesizer we've ever built!

DRM1 MKIV: Sociable and dynamic
To make integration into your studio more comfortable, we equipped the DRM1 MKIV with USB-MIDI in addition to the standard MIDI connections.

The optional trigger inputs have been significantly upgraded. Beyond gate pulses, they now also accept different voltage levels for triggering the instrument channels dynamically. The DRM1 MKIV with trigger inputs can also convert the analog signals into MIDI notes via USB or the newly added MIDI OUT connector making it an incredibly versatile MIDI interface.

Whether you're controlling the DRM1 MKIV via a DAW, a hardware sequencer, or a modular system, you’ll have the proper connection and further the ability to send the MIDI notes to additional devices.

DRM1 MKIV: More power under the hood
The power supply of the DRM1 MKIV is completely new. It now works anywhere in the world, without having to manually change the mains voltage. This is a huge relief for all of you who use the instrument at live shows. No less important: it works more energy-efficient than the old one!

DRM1 MKIV: Availability
The DRM1 MKIV will be available in March/April 2021. We are looking forward to your feedback, comments and questions.

Elektroakustischen Manufaktur, Erlbach"

VERMONA DRM mkIV - DYNAMIC TRIGGERING

video by vermonagear

"In this video we quickly explain the recent updates regarding the DRM’s connectivity and demonstrate how to generate dynamic trigger signals using a modular environment.
From now on also the analogue trigger inputs are dynamic, same as the midi inputs which provided velocity control ever since. Both the dynamic trigger inputs and midi veloctiy do not just control the output volume of a channel but rather effect the overall excitement of each channel’s circuitry, thus controlling its output volume.

There are different ways to generate dynamic trigger signals. While some sequencers provide it and some don't, in this video we show how to achieve it using modular setup."
