New MFB Tanzmaus Analogue Drumcomputer in the Works

It looks like MFB has a new drum machine in the works.

Spotted on sequencer.de:

"Tanzmaus (dancing mouse) is a 4-7 instrument drum machine quite like the Xbase09 was – so this is a smaller version of the Tanzbär Drummachine (dancing bear) which is bigger than a mouse.

4 instruments on top – the bottom rights may be something for the hihats.. so it’s 5/6 instruments – at the bottom I found 7 “things” so – I assume it will be a 7 instrument drum machine with step input."

Doepfer Announces Black & Yellow A-124SE Special Edition Wasp Filter Module

via PatchPierre.Net

"Quite unexpected, Doepfer announced a black A-124 Wasp filter with yellow knobs today.

This module comes as a limited edition and will be available through your local dealers. (order no. A-124SE)
Great marketing-idea by Doepfer IMO, especially to promote the recently announced colored knobs. All kinds of color-schemes are possible now..."

This could be an interesting new direction for Doepfer who is known for their almost clinical grey modules. It would be fun to see a system filled with different themed modules. On the practical side it would make finding modules in a complex system much easier. Imagine finding filter types based on their original color schemes.

BossFYTE - Think About It ( Richard Devine Remix)

Update: Links to the release below have been updated (click here). SoundCloud has this annoying habit if truncating URLs in descriptions, so if you copy and paste them they do not work. Apologies to all for forgetting and not checking.

Some eurorack wallpaper for you to accompany Richard Devine's latest release, a remix of bossFYTE. The system pictured is the one used in the remix. That is the actual patch used throughout the track. Sections were pulled and processed for the synthetic textures you hear.

Electribe 2 | Ambient V

Published on Aug 6, 2015 r beny

"New ambient jam on the Electribe 2. Having some work done in my water damaged house, haven't had much time to make music lately. Needed to make something beautiful after listening to 5 half-fridge-sized dehumidifiers and 9 power fans have been droning on for the past few days."

Thought this one was really nice. Creating moods with individual synths.

via the seller: "This synth is in overall good condition for its age with a few known issues but plays and sounds great. I love the action of the keyboard and, for such a simple synth, it's capable of some amazing sounds...

Known issues:

Some of the coloured knob caps are missing (see photo).
The filter cutoff knob can be slightly crackly and probably needs a clean with some contact cleanser (I've still been using it happily as it's not that bad).
The octave switch knob is a little loose and sometimes slides past the markings. When it does that I just slide it back - it still works fine even when switching octaves mid-performance. The pot probably just needs to be tightened up.

For me, none of the above issues have prevented me having fun with this synth - it's to be expected for a synth that was produced between 1978 - 1982!

Polyphony Monophonic
Oscillators One DCO (sawtooth, square, pulse-width modulation); 4-octave range (32', 16', 8', 4'); white and pink noise generators
LFO 1 Filter LFO plus Vibrato
Filter 1 Low-pass filter, 12dB/octave, with ADSR
VCA 1 ADSR
Keyboard 37 Keys"

the magnetic bug never stops talking

Great mood kicks in after :50.

"a lot of oscillators are interacting at the magnetic bug, which is built by folktek ( http://folktek.com/instruments/Insect... ). there are magnetic points to change the connections of the oscillators and some knobs to manipulate the unique and not really predictable soundresults. sometimes a delay (echopark by line 6) is added, and later on a casio sa-46 starts, run through a pitch shifting effect of the roland sp-404sx and the EHX memory man."
