NonLinear Circuits & Serge Creature Synths (swarm effect)

"Trying to get that swarming, buzzing sound ... dissonant clusters made famous by the swarmatron. I'm using 4 VCOs here. I think the swarmatron uses 8.

Serge creature and NonLinear Circuits synth. . Everything ( including the 2 sequencers & monotribe) is clocked fron the Serge Smooth/stepped generator."

Sample & Hold synthbass with Moogerfoogers

YouTube Published on Jun 26, 2012 by MRTNBLM

"Sampled Rickenbacker-bass. Played by a MachineDrum through Moogerfoogers (FreqBox, Lowpass and Phaser) while trigging the Moogerfooger CP-251 for sample & hold CV-values that control Cutoff on Lowpass and 3 out of 6 poles on the Phaser.

The bass sound from the MachineDrum isn´t that good, quite distorted but I used what I already had in there. This was just to show how a S&H-synthbass sound could be done."

Mutable Instruments Announces Ambika Poly Shruthi

via Mutable Instruments

"Here are some of the key features:

Up to 6 voices, each with an individual output — in addition to a global mix output.
MIDI channels/patches/voices are distinct entities, allowing many different flexible configurations, from 6 independent monophonic parts each on a different MIDI channel, to 1 polysynth, with everything in-between (unison, keyboard split, layering, voice doubling).
Connectors for up to 6 voicecards. In true Mutable Instruments spirit, you can mix and match voicecards with different filters, and in the future with different synthesis engines.
Easy to use sound programming interface with a large 2x40 LCD display, 8 knobs, 8 switches and 15 bicolor LEDs. Each module of the synthesis engine has a page, each page has a direct access button.
Massive patch memory, easy backup/data exchange, fast firmware upgrades with the integrated SD card reader. And there might be other things you’ll load from the SD card in the future…
Patch versioning and undo/compare/redo of editing operations.
Sequencer, arpeggiator and rhythmic chord generator available for each part. 2 step-sequences per part. Each part can be clocked at a different multiple of the MIDI clock.
And of course: DIY friendly, through-hole assembly.

Each voice is on its own circuit board. Yes, it’s huge and it draws a lot of power! The first 3 voicecards that will be released are based on a maxed-out version of the Shruthi-1 sound engine.

All the Shruthi-1 oscillators goodness – classic analog waveforms, FM, wavetables, vowel synthesis, low-fi tones.
More z-family oscillator waveshapes, with digital emulations of analog waveforms sent through resonant LP/BP/HP filters.
“Wavequence” mode for individually addressing the content of the wave memory (wavequence + step sequencer = wave sequencing).
New mixer with adjustable overdrive and bitcrusher effects, independent of the mixing mode.
3 synchronized LFOs shared by all voices in a patch with new waveforms, and 1 desynchronized, per-voice LFO for subtle voice modulation effects.
3 ADSR envelopes with times up to 60s.
Large modulation matrix (14 slots, 4 modifiers), with new modulation sources and destinations.
Improved sound richness/brightness and extended filter range.
3 flavours of voicecards: Warm and classic 4-pole low-pass (OTA-C with Darlington buffers), sweet and liquid 4-pole low-pass (SSM2164), 2-pole multimode (SSM2164).

What will come after that? Voicecards offering a few channels of drum sounds. The following voicecards are in development:


Multi-channel drum samples ROMpler.
Analog drum module (2 instruments per voicecard).

How does it sound? You can listen to many sound clips here [embed below].

Ambika is a DIY project, all the technical choices have been made to make it accessible to DIYers, and it will be sold primarily as kits.

Googlish translation: "Summer is approaching Modularsquare but does not release the pressure: we invite you Saturday, June 30, 2012 for an unprecedented meeting with the creator of Mutable Instruments!

Come try and discover all its products exclusively two prototypes.

Program: from 14h, 19h and up, meeting with Olivier Gillet (creator), discussions, exploration of instruments, and in the evening, musical improvisation with all the participants who brought their (s) Shruthi. Some collect them because, as you will probably have a chance of realizing it ...

For fans, the kits will be available for sale on the spot but be careful, limited quantity! To be on leave with your own, be there from 14h, or reserve your kit by sending me an email at cyril (at) modularsquare.com

Bring your helmets and your Shruthi, we will try to beat the record of polyphony in connecting them."
