"Also there's a little Lexicon Alex reverb on there. The Dirt Filter is a pretty sensitive module."

Custom Synth Panel Printer on Go Fund Me

For the DIYers out there:

Currently on Go Fund Me.

"Imagine being able to upload your full colour, custom panel designs on a website, then days later receiving the finished, photo quality panel in the post.

Nice Simple Process. Good Quality Product.

The technology is out there, it's just really fecking expensive.

At GMSN! I've been working for the past two years on a process for creating professional quality, alumium faceplates for Eurorack Modular Synthesisers. Together with a friendly screenprinter we've finally cracked it. The feedback from customers has been excellent. A common theme is that people are surprised how good the panels are, given the price. When you're showing your modular rig off, you want it to look the part...

But what you really want are custom panels. Your own design for your own custom modular rig. In full, photo quality colour.

The next step to acheiving this is to invest in a professional Solid Matter Direct Printing System.

This machine prints onto unsealed anodised alumium. The surface of the metal has small anodic pores which the special ink sucks into via capiliary action. After printing the panel is then heated at 95C for 45 mins. This seals the pores and creates a protective layer over the ink, giving a seriously hard wearing surface, critical for extensive knob twiddling.

These ain't cheap and the one we have shortlisted is £11,939.59.

Hence this campaign. (The reason we've gone with GoFundMe is that even if we don't reach the target, we can still partially fund the project, and secure the shortfall through traditional means.)"

New Eowave DIY Weather Drones

Published on May 13, 2016 eowave

"As part of our collaboration for the VILLETTE SONIQUE x MODULARSQUARE : Atelier DIY event, we have created Weather Drones, an all in one drone voice for eurorack modular. The Weather Drones can be self patched, or used with other eurorack modules via CV and trig inputs. The architecture of the module is as follows, some of which is pre-patched

Digital tri wave oscillator, controls are freq, spread (adds more triangle waveforms, up to 8), character (wave folder), fm in with attenuator
LFO with square and tri wave out
Filter with cutoff and feedback, mod input with attenuator and second mod input without
AD envelope with level attenuator
Random sample and hold noise (driven by square wave LFO) with slew
VCA"

Korg Volca FM polyphonic synth and Coffee Shopped DX Touch iOS App functionality and limitations

Published on May 12, 2016 Expanding Sound

Spotted this one on discchord.

iTunes: Patch Touch: for Yamaha DX/TX - Coffeeshopped LLC

Note the KORG Volca FM does not currently respond to realtime editing via external editors. Instead, it responds to complete patch dumps. For example also check out the Patch Base editor video with the Volca FM here.

"Korg is releasing a new 3 voice, 6 operator fm synthesizer known as the Volca FM. Fm synthesis was very popular in the 80's with the Synclavier and, of course, the Yamaha DX7: one of the most popular synths of that decade. With 80s music experiencing a renaissance, Korg has made this affordable and fun Volca to bring the sound of the DX7 back into the spotlight.

I own a DX7, and like many others, have always found it difficult to program. However, Coffee Shopped's DX Touch iOS App made it very easy to visualize exactly how fm synthesis works, and made it much easier to make my own patches. When I heard about the Volca FM, I wanted to see if it was possible to make DX Touch work with it. Check out the video to see the results, and don't forget to subscribe!
