sismo lito from sismo on Vimeo.

"Sismo Lito is the fusion of three of our machines, special design to celebrate our first year anniversary.

A combination of our Qadrox (square wave oscillator), TwinT (sine wave oscillator) and the small Qad4 (square, pulse and lfo) increasing with filter section (connected to square) built in two analogue sequencer (one connected to sine by gate and the other connected to the square triangle by cv).

Specifications
Polyphony : monophonic
Oscillators : 4 (1x sine - 2x square - 1x triangle
Control : Internal 2x eight step sequencer (1 gate -1 cv)
External 2x cv in, 1x sync in - 3x sync out
Current draw: 12 Volts (center positive)
Weight: 450g
Dimensions: 15cm (H) x 12,5cm (D) x 13cm (W)

IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS!
- Do not exceed a 15VDC wall wart
- Make sure the wall wart has at least 300 to 1000mA capacity"

New Korg LFO Module for littleBits

Uploaded on Feb 19, 2015 littleBits Electronics

littleBits is asking people to vote for the new Korg LFO.  I'm guessing we will see it happen, but if you want to make sure and perhaps bump it to the front of their list for new modules, you might want to vote.

"Hey there! I’m Tatsuya Takahashi, chief analog engineer at Korg. The LFO or Low Frequency Oscillator module was designed alongside the littleBits Synth Kit but didn’t make it into the final kit configuration. We thought we would see if people would be interested in it, and thus have submitted it here to the bitLab!

The LFO is an oscillator module that allows you to make slow sweeping changes to sound parameters in the synth kit or with other littleBits modules. You can control the following parameters directly on the module:

-Rate/Frequency knob (speed of oscillation)
-Waveshape control knob (change the duty cycle of a pulse wave or morph a sawtooth to triangle to ramp waveform)
-Waveform selection switch (select triangle/saw or pulse waveform)

The input of the module controls the amplitude of the LFO. We’ve also included an LED on board to help show the rate of oscillation.

Need some circuit ideas? Watch the video to see the LFO in action!!"

Nord Electro 5 Demos

iTunes: Diode-108 Drum Machine - Vibrant Digital Engineering, Inc.

"DIODE-108 is the drum machine you’ve been waiting for. It’s packed with a variety of built-in vintage, classic, and acoustic kits, but you can easily mix and match the samples provided to make your own custom kits. Or import wav files for even more variety. Once you’ve built your groove, DIODE-108’s drag-and-drop beat effects make it fun and easy to create beats you’ve never heard before.

FEATURES
* Drag and drop effects let you put effects on individual beats!
* Drum kits licensed from respected partners. Dubsounds, Samples From Mars, Orange Tree Samples, and 99Sounds.
* 16 drum voices with unlimited patterns that you can arrange into your own songs
* Each pattern can have its own swing and tempo multiplier
* Every voice has PER BEAT control of pan, volume, tone, pitch, decay, compression, and distortion, delay, and reverb.
* Turn NOTE MODE on for any voice and control the musical note (up or down an octave from the original pitch). Great for basslines or pitched percussion
* Wav sample import
* Mix and Match kits (easily substitute any sample in any kit). Want an 808 kick in a 909 kit? No problem.

SEQUENCER
Build your beat on a 16x16 pattern grid. 16 voices is almost twice the number of voices of some of our competitors, and it means that you can have an 808 kit with all the instruments you’re looking for (not just some of them). Set tempo and swing. Several time signatures are supported (and each pattern can have its own).

PADS
Tap your beat on our 4 by 4 array of drum pads. Record into the active pattern, or just play along.

DRUM MACHINE
Unprecedented control over your drum kit. Dial in the settings you want, mix and match samples from different kits, and save out your modified custom kits for use in any song. How much control do you have? An amazing 7 dials for each of the 16 drum voices!

FX
Diode-108’s crown jewel is its drag-and-drop beat FX. Want a reverse cowbell? Want a butcrushed tom? Want a cymbal that performs a pitch dive across several beats? Just drag and drop the effect tokens onto beats, and drag them left and right to cover any beats you like. Turn a long-lasting cymbal into a rhythmic backbone. You have to hear it to believe it! Head over to http://www.vibrantdigitalengineering.com for SoundCloud examples.

SONG
Build up a collection of named patterns from scratch, or import selected patterns from existing songs. Then drag and drop the patterns to build up a song. Each pattern can have its own swing setting and tempo multiplier if you like!

Export your songs as wav files to SoundCloud, DropBox, or iTunes, or send them through Audiobus to other apps on your iPad."

Molecules for Xils Lab PolyKB II

via HGSounds

"A collection of 75 Presets for the excellent PolyKB II synthesizer. The Pads have a very Krautrock/Popol Vuh Feel to them, this synth lends itself very well to this type of sound with plenty of motion and instability, it sounds very analog. The Sequences are fairly complex electro & Retro sounding. All presets make use of the Modulation Wheel and most use Aftertouch for expressive playing.

10 Arps
1 FX
35 Pads
29 Sequences"

In The KOMA Studio: Peter Holmström of The Dandy Warhols

Published on Apr 9, 2015 KOMA Elektronik

"Peter Holmström of The Dandy Warhols and Pete International Airport came by our studio last month while on tour to jam. He worked on some more drone and experimental sounds with our modular synthesizers and effects. While in the studio, he also told us about his process and approach to working on music with both guitar and synthesizers, combining both sounds."

The MoCM Laboratory

Published on Apr 9, 2015 TheMOCM

"www.mocm.gr

MoCM (Monopolis custom made) It is a laboratory that is creating DIY prototypes of electronic- hand made constructions.
MoCM was initially created by need for artistic expression and developed as adjacent activity of Andreas Monopolis

A. Monopolis as composer and performer of electronic and computer music himself, soon caught on to the potential of both live shows and the experience of music making in terms of "instrument" use. MoCM sound solutions come as an answer to those fields which rely largely on software's algorithmic "point, scroll and click" routine; however they can easily adapt to all kinds of music genres.

By focusing on Tinkering, prototyping and junk instrument philosophy, these DIY sound modules open a whole new world of creativity and experimenting for studio recordings or live performances.

All modules are unique, incorporating a variety of materials and features. Their feel is equally old school and futuristic, elegant and edgy, fun and inspiring.

The MoCM lab is a work in progress. Complementary to the line of sound modules which can be purchased when they are found available, it welcomes interaction as well as brainstorming, and it is orientated to workshops and improvs aiming at breaking new artistic grounds."
