techno jam "FM126" with Synthstrom Audible Deluge Moog Sub Phatty, MB33 and Volca FM

Published on Jan 17, 2018 Shimanski Beats

"A new dawless techno jam using with my recently acquired Deluge and a limited setup of external gear. I'm getting to like the sequencer more and more, particularly the opportunity of combining patterns with different amounts of steps. The internal sound engine is also nice to create and modulated techno FM sounds.

All recorded in one go, no over-dub.

Instruments:
Deluge: drums, first FM sequence, FM drone and hardware sequencer
Volca FM: second FM sequence
MB 33 retro: analog bass
Sub Phatty: analog sequence

external FX: Lexicon MX 200, TC Electronic M-One XL & M-350"

DIRTY MIRROR Demo (free Snazzy FX Ardcore Sketch) #TTNM

Published on Jan 17, 2018 The Tuesday Night Machines

"I wrote my first Ardcore Sketch! It's a fun waveform folder/combiner/mixer/multiplier Sketch for the Ardcore, which can be clocked and which also outputs two trigger sequences. MORE INFORMATION BELOW!

---------

Usage:
- Knob A0: Threshold above which Wave 1 will be output, below will be the inverted Wave 2
- Knob A1: Clock divier value (higher = higher division, i.e. slower clock)
- Knob A2: Attenuator for Wave 1 input
- Analog In 2: Input for Wave 1 (unipolar, scaled to 0-5V, input above 5V will fold over)
- Knob A3: Attenuator for Wave 2 input
- Analog In 3: Input for Wave 2 (unipolar, scaled to 0-5V, input above 5V will fold over)
- Digital Out D0: Trigger on Wave 1 input above Threshold, divided Clock Divider
- Digital Out D1: Trigger on Wave 2 input above Threshold, divided Clock Divider
- Clock In: Cycle through modes: combiner (A2 above threshold, inverted A3 below), mixer (A2-A3), multiplier (A2*A3) and silence (patch D0 to Clock In for rhythmic fun)
- Analog Out: Waveform output (unipolar, 0-5V)

Synthesis Technology - E370 *FIRST PATCH* Chords & Awesomeness

Published on Jan 17, 2018 DivKidVideo

"If you're a Patreon supporter I have an exclusive video for you breaking down the whole patch with sound generation, mixing, EQ, FX, sequencing, "live playability" and clocking/rhythm generation etc. If not I hope you still enjoy this video anyway which is my first patch with the E370 from Synthesis Technology. The E352 is fantastic (see below) so I knew this would be great. Using a quad quantising/chord generator I'm making chord sounds and splitting this into a slowly generative polyphonic patch with FX and soft drums in the background."

JX-03 + RK-002 with /DUY Sketch to Transpose Sequences

Published on Jan 17, 2018 Retrokits

"Apart from the existing RK-002 firmwares for the Volca sample, FM, Kaossilator, Digitakt,... The 'DUY' is a new RK002 firmware which is able to run Arduino sketches.

We have shown some small examples on various channels, Euclidean generators, CC-to-Sysex converters,... and this is a more simple example of a MIDI hack: converting note-numbers to pitch-bend data. Turns out pretty nice on the JX-03!"

If you choose to do this! be smart and careful, im in no way responsible for you being a dumbass and frieing your insides, ive made it pretty obvious its LETHAL :)

A list of modules used!

both channels went into the ALM O/A/X2 useful, because you could offset and invert the signals. for both channels!

for one channel (X AXIS) i used :-
Instruo troica (a great bank of 3 oscillators, i just fm’d them together to make different sorts of odd)
ALM Pamelas new workout for some more stuff ontop of those 3 oscillators talking to each other

for the other channel (Y AXIS) i used :-
Befaco VCO.. good to use the large range of octaves available on the octave switch
Happy Nerding FMAID this was really cool to make the waveform make more patterns!

Also at the end the weird 3d shape was a MOFFENZEEF MODULAR MUSKRAT, going into both channels!
the 3d look was me just adjusting the parameters on the muskrat!


Andrew duff suggested to look at the FONITRONIK CASCADE at thonk:-

along with a complex oscillator like the make noise DPO.

Update: RackBrute review: Link system explained on the new Arturia Rack Brute

Published on Jan 17, 2018 loopop

Note there are no modules, just the cases. The bottom of the stands attacked to the new MiniBrute 2 and 2S.  Curious if Arturia will be producing eurorack modules over time.

The press release:

"Grenoble-based hardware and software synth specialists Arturia are proud to announce the imminent release of RackBrute, a Eurorack modular storage, power, and transport system.
Following the announcement of the new MiniBrute 2 and MiniBrute 2S synthesizers, RackBrute is the third and final product of the series, and will be available at stores worldwide from March 2018. RackBrute is a dedicated Eurorack case crafted from sturdy steel and aluminium, with many innovative enhancements. Each unit features a dedicated power module to keep your precious gear supplied with +12V / -12V / +5V power, the handle can be calibrated to act as a multi-position stand, letting you use your Eurorack modules in whatever position you find most comfortable.

RackBrute comes in two sizes: a smaller 3U, 88HP version, and a larger 6U, 176HP version. Whatever size your collection, your modules will be housed in the most economic, efficient way possible.

RackBrute completes a versatile, customizable, creative EcoSystem bridging the gap between traditional synthesizers and the world of modular thanks to the new Arturia Link system found on both the MiniBrute 2 and MiniBrute 2S to lock in place. When using RackBrute in combination with MiniBrute or MiniBrute 2S, everything is laid out before you, breaking down all barriers for your experimentation and inspiration.

When you need to pack away for storage, or to transport your whole setup for a gig, RackBrute can pack down into a handy transport mode, with a sturdy carry handle and spacers to prevent any collision between the RackBrute and the other attached hardware. A stylish RackBrute Travel Bag is also available to keep your precious cargo scratch, splash, and dust free.

If you’d like to get hands on MiniBrute 2, MiniBrute 2S and RackBrute, find Arturia at NAMM 2018. We’ll be at booth #11910. We can’t wait to see you."
