Dave Smith Instruments In The Spotlight With the Prophet-6 and Jordan Lawlor of M83

The next in DSI's In the Spotlight interview series is up with Jordan Lawlor and the Prophet-6 here.

"Jordan Lawlor is a producer and composer based in Los Angeles, touring and recording with the group M83 as well as with his own project, J. Laser.

We chatted with him about how he’s using the Prophet-6."

New EMW Demo Cabinet - New Eurorack & 5U Modules in the Works

Check out this massive demo cabinet from EMW aka Electronic Music Works. Some of the modules have been updated and some are new. Details and videos will come in time. For now click on the image and take a peak. According to EMW, they will have completed a total of 128 eurorack modules by this December. Are there any other eurorack manufacturers with a line-up that large aside from Doepfer?

And for those of you that prefer the larger 5U format such as synthesizers.com, Moon Modular, Mos-Lab, STG and of course Moog, EMW has some good news for you. They plan to introduce some of their best-selling modules in the larger format next year. I will post them as they are introduced.

New Synthesizers.com Q157 SH++ 5U Module

Q157 SH++ Tour Published on Nov 27, 2017 synthesizersdotcom

"For more information visit http://www.synthesizers.com/

Hosted by Roger Arrick of Synthesizers.com"

"The Q157 SH++ is a Sample and Hold surrounded by accessory functions on a single-wide panel. There are 5 sections including an LFO with square and sine wave outputs, a frequency/gate divider, noise source with low-pass filtering, and a slew limiter with automatic looping. The slew limiter section also produces a decay envelope generator.

Several sections are connected together in a musically-useful way to create interesting modulation of oscillators and filters with minimal patching.

The LFO provides square wave and sine wave outputs simultaneously with an LED indicating speed. The LFO can be used to provide vibrato to oscillators, clocks to sequencers, or gates for the Sample and Hold section.

The Divider section automatically receives its input from the LFO's square wave unless a plug is inserted into its IN jack. Dividing gates can be useful for sequencer patches, arpeggiations, even sub-octave waveform generation.

The Sample and Hold section receives its gate from the LFO unless a plug is inserted into its GATE jack. The sample and hold input is automatically connected to the noise section if there is no plug in the IN jack.

The Noise section provides a white noise filtered by a 2-pole low-pass filter. The knob can also be jumpered as a volume control if desired.

The Decay/Slew section provides portamento for keyboard pitch, slew for the sample and hold output, creates envelopes from gates, or delays gate signals. Without a plug inserted into the IN jack, the slew mode automatically retriggers to create a trapezodial LFO waveform. In decay mode, a gate produces a decaying envelope to drive percussive patches."

clast (klæst) n. Rock fragment or mineral grain produced by the breakdown of larger rocks. Eroded and smoothed when transported by waves, clasts may form new rocks through cementation and compaction.

Music performed live on a briefcase Eurorack synthesizer.
