"The Rhythm is a 4 channel pattern generator with BPM display. It ships with a multitude of genre-oriented rhythms that can be altered on a per channel basis. With each parameter under voltage control, an unlimited number of permutations are available. This unique interface removes the intricate patching necessary for crafting complex drum beats, and allows the user focus on what matters most; composing and performing music.
- Infinite rhythmic variation
- Clock divider, random gates, and other utility modes accessible
- Intuitive performance interface
- BPM display
- Internal / External clocking capabilities with assignable PPQN settings"
"This is a demo of the Delptronics LDB-2e “Little Drummer Boy” Analog Drums Eurorack module.
It packs packs eight drum voices into only 6HP: kick, snare, low tom, hi tom, wood block, rim shot, and open and closed hi-hats. In the video, the drums are sequenced with the Delptronics Trigger Man module, but they can be triggered with any trigger or gate signal.
The LDB-2e is an update to our popular LDB-1e module. It is only 2HP wider and now includes the the individual volume controls and output jacks functionality of the old expansion module. The sounds are different too, so you don't have to sell your old module.
The LDB-2x expansion module (also shown) is totally new and gives you knob and CV control of the pitch of every drum, and the decay of the kick and open hi-hat. The video demonstrates these features using a pitch sequencer module.
The module uses totally analog circuitry, not samples. The audio was direct into the camera. No effects were used during or after recording.

"Patch Notes #22 explores the Quantermain mode in the polymorphic Ornament & Crime module, a 4 channel Eurorack pitch quantizer with 48 different scales and some amazing hidden features.
Ornament & Crime is in Quantermain mode, of course. Trigger3 and CV3 are receiving cv and clock out from the DU-SEQ, fitting the sequence into an Ionian scale and then out from channel C to the pitch input on the Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas. The clock for the sequencer as well as the pattern sequence for the BI are being controlled via Reaktor Blocks and the F1 controller seen in the distance.
The gate out on the DU-SEQ is routed to Mutable Instruments Braids trigger input. Channel D on the O&C is set to Turing Machine mode, instead of receiving pitch cv from another source. This mode randomizes a stepped series of cv voltages, and can freeze a certain number of steps and loop them. This mode is routed out from channel D to Braids. To enable some control over the randomization and looping, I routed a row on Make Noise Pressure Points to CV1 on the O&C and selected CV1 as the voltage source for the channel D Turing probability. A specific step on the PP is selected, so that corresponding knob can be used as a voltage offset, locking the random Turing sequence into a loop.
Braids is then routed out to the Vintage Synth Lab VCF-74, and on to the Mutable Instruments Warps running the Parasites alt firmware in delay mode. So beefy.
Another trigger sequence from Blocks is routed out of the Audio 10 DJ (NOT a DC coupled interface) to the Malekko ADLFO, which is controlling the noise hihat in the Roland Scooper. Yet another sequence is routed to the second channel on the ADLFO, with one envelope routed to the Scooper kick drum (see our Roland Aira Drum Machine tutorials) and a second envelope routed to the FM input on the Tiptop Audio Z-3000. The square wave out is routed to the Make Noise Optomix, which is also being modulated by an envelope on the ADLFO, and then down to the Malekko Mix 4 with the rest.
"This is the Prophet 5 v3.2. I mean what needs to be said about this synth that has not been said already. One of the best synths ever built. Full restored by Peter Miller. New key grommets and all the pots cleaned. Ready for CV sequencing!"
