"In this video I show you how I built my own Eurorack case. I've tried to be as informative as possible without making it too long winded. If you have any questions about the process or anything else, feel free to leave a comment and I'll try to answer to the best of my knowledge.

"This is a fantastic 8-voice multitimbral analog desktop synthesizer. It is MPE compatible, has USB host capabilities, meaning you can plug a class compliant USB controller directly into it, as well as standard USB and MIDI. It has individual outs per voice, in addition to a stereo master out. I encourage you to listen to demos and hear how great it sounds!!! The user manual is also available on line to read about what a deep instrument this is."

Easy 2 Voice Mod for Synthrotek DS-M | Modular Quick Tip

Published on Jun 13, 2018 File Transfer Protocol

"Here’s an easy way to get a kick and snare out of one Synthrotek DS-M analog drum module. It’s a simple mod using a vactrol on the mix knob or even better, the adjustable resistance from the Synthrotek Vac Pack and a jack to control it all via CV (which alternates between the white noise source and the oscillator):

Playlist:

1. Introducing EFFECTS SERIES – CRUSH PACK | Native Instruments

Watch this introduction to CRUSH PACK – the latest installment in Native Instruments' new line of effects.

BITE, DIRT, and FREAK offer modern twists on the prized tone of early samplers, the timeless shred of a sophisticated stomp box, dynamic ring modulated sci-fi sounds, futuristic timbres, other-worldly radio broadcasts, and more.

2. Introducing BITE from EFFECTS SERIES – CRUSH PACK | Native Instruments

CRUSH PACK is the latest installment in Native Instruments’ new line of effects. BITE, DIRT, and FREAK offer modern twists on the prized tone of early samplers, the timeless shred of a sophisticated stomp box, dynamic ring modulated sci-fi sounds, futuristic timbres, other-worldly radio broadcasts, and more.

3. Introducing DIRT from EFFECTS SERIES – CRUSH PACK | Native Instruments

DIRT is a distortion stompbox that combines analog modeling with highly refined controls and flexible routing.

4. Introducing FREAK from EFFECTS SERIES – CRUSH PACK | Native Instruments

FREAK combines frequency shifting, ring modulation and radio modulation techniques in one versatile package.

Update: The official press release:

"Berlin, June 15, 2018 – Native Instruments today launch EFFECTS SERIES – CRUSH PACK, a follow-up to the critically acclaimed MOD PACK.

CRUSH PACK offers three plug-ins, covering a wide array of tonal distortion effects – bit-crushing, stompbox-style distortion, ring modulation, amplitude modulation, frequency shifting, and more – and each with innovative new creative features, such as allowing external sidechain sources as modulators. Each also features the same prized sound quality that earned MOD PACK plaudits from press and users alike, making CRUSH PACK another essential upgrade from the distortion effects found in DAWs.

CRUSH PACK consists of three VST/AU/AAX plug-ins: A bitcrusher and sample rate reducer called BITE, a distortion effect called DIRT, and a multi-mode modulating device called FREAK. 234 carefully designed presets showcase the huge range of tonal distortion possible.

Additionally, all MOD PACK owners can enjoy a significant crossgrade discount on the price of CRUSH PACK.

BITE recreates the prized sonic imperfections that defined hip-hop and dance music’s first golden era, but it takes things much further. It allows a wide sonic palette, from authentic 80s organic digital crunch to depth-charged extremes. Modern features like auto-input/output compensation ensure controlled chaos.

DIRT offers organic-sounding distortion, crafted by sound designers. Flexible signal routing, blending, and other carefully crafted parameters allow unusual levels of control. Unlike the stompboxes upon which its sound is based, DIRT’s controls are calibrated for subtle tone-shaping (even when delivering extreme sonic results), and powerful features such as wavefolding allow complex, dynamic timbres, even from simple sources like sine waves.

FREAK (derived from ‘frequency shifting’) delivers three sound-bending modulation types in one plug-in. Innovative modes like retro radio lo-fi, stereo modulation, and wild sidechain ability sit alongside classic AM, ring mod, and frequency shifting techniques. This range allows detuned horror-style vocals, rich metallic timbres, rhythmic sidechaining, the sound of vintage broadcasts or alien transmissions, and more.

Pricing and availability
EFFECTS SERIES – CRUSH PACK is available now at the NI Online Shop for €69 / $69 / £59 / ¥ 8780 / AU$ 99

MOD PACK owners can upgrade to CRUSH PACK now at the NI Online Shop for just €44 / $44 / £37 / ¥ 5600 / AU$ 60"

VERMONA PERFOURMER // synths playing Bach Prelude D major // 5

Published on Jun 14, 2018 LESINDES

"No ODD COUPLE this time, kind of an odd solo, No. 5:
VERMONA PERFOURMER two times, first unisono with all four voices and then as a monosynth.
My challenge here was to tweak a proper sound for the BACH Prelude D major, BWV 850."
