Weinglas at the premiere of expeRheiniMainental
Published on Jan 16, 2017 Wein Glas
"Is it possible to play a short live performance with only a Gotharman AnamonoX? In total darkness? See and decide for yourself! However, the touchscreen keyboard helped a lot ...
Thanks a lot to Xerox Exotique and to Tilmann Jakob for having me as a guest on the great premiere of the amazong documentary 'expeRheiniMainental'!

Isotonik Studios Introduces Circuit Editor PRO & Circuit Patch Store for the Novation Circuit
Circuit Editor PRO for the Novation Circuit from Isotonik Studios on Vimeo.
"In this walkthrough we'll not be delving into sound design but simply showing off the workflow enhancing improvements we've made to our popular Circuit Editor, rebuilding the engine from scratch to massively improve the speed of updates has allowed to us to add core new features such as:
- Both Synth Engines are fully automatable in Ableton Live with the MaxforLive version
- Copy / Paste for the Macro Elements
- Drum Control has been added
- Patch Management has been much improved
- An intelligent Randomiser Function"

P.S. You might remember mention of the new editor from this post.
Additional details including price:
"RELEASE DATE: WEDNESDAY 18th JANUARY
PRICE: £10.00
It's been over a year since we visited Novations headquarters to be first introduced to the Circuit in their development room, this little beast of a Groovebox has gone from strength to strength in the past twelve months growing an avid legion of new fans who have helped the development of the instrument through the Facebook Circuit Owners Group...
We've seen Novation get involved in this group of fans to their credit and it was an honour to be chosen to develop and supply the official Novation Circuit Editor! Now that Novation have released the fourth firmware update, we felt it was time to do the same with our Editor. And so after a few hundred hours more of development time we're delighted to be able to release the Circuit Editor PRO!
Rebuilt from the ground up we've massively improved response times and allowed automation of both synths through Ableton Live via the MaxforLive version. In working with the new Editor Engine we've been able to incorporate the top user requests that we've been collating as well!

SSF Entity Bass Drum Synth -Feedback Distortion
Published on Jan 17, 2017 SteadyStateFate
"Demonstrating kick drum sounds using feedback of the output into the A-MIX (amplifier input). Use of a stackable cable or multiple is needed in order to feed the output back into the Entity and into an output module or recording device. This configuration is capable of producing extreme distortion and self oscillation."

"Bass and Drum Synthesizer Voice
The Entity Bass Drum is a complete and versatile synthesizer voice geared for designing a huge array of bass drum, percussive and synth sounds. Finally, a truly deep tool for creating analog bass drum, bass lines and other percussive effects is here!
The design consists of a high fidelity resonant filter, 2 stage slope generator (rise/fall) with independent slope shaping, a high fidelity VCA and discrete transistor saturation circuitry. Every parameter on the Entity Bass drum is voltage controllable.
By applying a trigger of any length and at least 2V amplitude, we excite the resonant filter to produce a percussive sine wave. The pitch control tunes the output with a range of 8Hz to around 2.2KHz. Both higher and lower levels are achievable using the FM input for modulation etc. The internal filter will track 3-4 octaves reliably and the tracking device is temperature compensated.
The slope generator (ENV) can be switched into the circuit via the 3 way switch below the FM LVL control. This control is a bipolar attenuator which affects the level of the slope generator and/or external modulator that affects the pitch of the output.
The 3 way switch selects FM, FM+ENV or just ENV as a mod source.
The rise/fall envelope is a two stage function generator. The controls provide slope timing from 1ms to about a minute. To the right of these controls is the shaping section where logarithmic, linear and exponential slope shapes are selected independently for the two envelope stages.
The envelope is designed to re-trigger at a set point. This allows for changing dynamics to occur to pitch and amplitude when the slope times are greater than the output transient time. For instance the sound can vary between any number of triggers that fire before the envelope set point is reached. Setting the slope time fast enough (below roughly 1 o'clock) provides for nominal operation. Settings will vary depending on trigger and ring decay timing.
The envelope can also be used exclusively or in a more complex patch via a direct +ENV output. Additionally, a novel DUCK output provides a means to control external VCAs - to work like slow compressors. DUCK is an inverted and positively offset version of the +ENV out. This keeps VCAs open when the envelope is off and effectively 'ducks' the VCA when the envelope fires. Of course, mod sources for these outputs are not limited to VCAs...
