CLAVIA NORD MODULAR G2 // AfroEuropeanEve // Algorithmic Composition // Single Patch

Published on May 16, 2018 LESINDES

"Programming CLAVIA NORD MODULAR G2 again. Always finding something new in AFROEUROPEANEVE is an algorithmic composition. Not totally playing on its own. I am switching the variations 1-10 during the session."

"This fine specimen is in full working order. No aftermarket modifications (besides the knobs which were lost), the original fan is still in place. I opted to put a quieter one in my MKII. Few demos exist of this early FM synth but with some youtube searching you can find some terrible ones mostly.

Its alright cosmetically with no major breaks or problems. Yes there are dings to the corners and nicks on the surface but no more than to be expected for this type of age. I plan to list more photos tonight.

I have restored 3 of them and this is a mark 1. I have a mark 2 that offers the Kaypro II connectivity and I do not have a need for the mark 1 so with reluctance I am taking offers. There is an aftermarket kit available that lets you make a mark 1 a mark 2 but I didn't want to go down that road at this point.

Besides, its rarity and place in musical FM history are undeniable."

Strange Spectral Sweeps

Published on May 16, 2018 MAKEN0ISE

"Allen Strange wrote the book on modular synthesizers in the 1970s. Electronic Music: Systems, Techniques, and Controls. Unfortunately since the expanded 1982 edition, it has never been reprinted, and in today’s landscape where more people have access to modular synths than ever before, very few have access to the knowledge contained within. This video series will explore patches both basic and advanced from Strange’s text. Even the simplest patches here yield kernels of knowledge that can be expanded upon in infinite ways. I have been heavily influenced by Strange since long before I became a modular synth educator. Please share this knowledge far and wide.

This patch is an interesting audio processing procedure from Allen Strange, utilizing two low pass filters. The result is a subtle increase in the intensity of the original sound.

The sounds in this video are from Kimathi Moore's Morphagene Reels, available for free at https://freesound.org/people/makenois..."

Gotharman's Little deFormer 3 proto - Guitar Demo & Additional Details

Published on May 15, 2018 gotharman

"All sounds are made from one guitar sampling, that is shaped by its filters."

Follow-up to this post.

And an image of the prototype. According to Gotharman, the final design will be a little bigger as the current electronics are a bit tight on space in this proto version.

Gotharman has also started work on the Little deFormer 3 site:

http://www.gotharman.dk/LD3.htm

"Specs are not yet complete, but I expect it to get at least 8 stereo voices, 16 parts, 16 sequencer note tracks with 64 steps each, 32 sequencer controller tracks with 64 steps each, and a yet unknown number of insert and output effects."

"Numerical Audio's Expressive VOLT synthesizer is not just for Roli Seaboard or MPE MIDI keyboard players. This synthesizer sounds amazingly good and works just as well without an expensive MIDI controller. This very deep guide and review of VOLT synth also includes interview-bits with Kai Aras, the developer of Volt and hear him talk about the design choices he made when making Volt and why."

New Grove Audio 5U GMS-214 Multimode Filter

via Grove Audio

"15 Different Filter Modes and VC Resonance

This multimode filter has two signal inputs mixed at unity gain and allows selection of one of fourteen possible filter configurations from front panel switches. If the resonance control is set high enough, the filter will start to oscillate.

Three CV inputs are provided. A 1V/Octave input controls the filter cutoff frequency in conjunction with the panel frequency control. A second frequency CV input has a level control, the resulting voltage being added to or subtracted from the base cutoff frequency resulting from the panel frequency control and 1V/Oct inputs. A resonance CV input followed by an attenuverter is combined with the panel resonance control to determine the amount of resonance that will occur. If the resonance control ia turned past about 80, the filter will start to oscillate with a clean sine waveform.

The MU version is housed in a 1MU (2.125 inch wide by 8.75 inch high) panel with DOTCOM compatible power connector."
