Making a track with only 2 Make Noise Maths (Eurorack module)

Published on Jun 16, 2018 Alastair Wilson

"After spending some time with Maths and realising how powerful it was, I had the idea of making a track using nothing but it. This is the first time I've made and edited a 'music video' like this and I'm happy with how it turned out!

I've added some compression, EQ, delay, and reverb to the recorded parts, as well as a touch of stereo widening. Most parts have also been quantised.

HOW IT WORKS:
- The 'Both' inputs for controlling the rise/fall times of the LFOs can track 1V/Oct, meaning you can play them on a keyboard. The problem is that they only track accurately at low pitches and go flat at higher pitches; to combat this I sent extra keyboard CV to the rise/fall times and tuned them to stay roughly in tune over half an octave or so. I had to then carefully use the pitch wheel on the Microbrute to tune each note I played individually. The highest notes (mainly the 'soft plucks' and 'high texture') had no chance of being playable; I tuned them so that 2 or 3 random notes would be in tune, and then stuck to those. This is why in the video I appear to be playing notes on the keyboard that don't correspond to the pitches.
- By sending pitch CV through one of the Maths channels (1 or 4), you can add glide with the rise/fall times.
- By sending audio through one of the Maths channels (1 or 4), you can get 'filtering' effects and waveshaping.
- By offsetting the audio with channels 2 and 3, and taking the sum output, you can change the timbre of the sound. Using this and the 'filtering' method, you can get various different synth timbres.
- You can offset the audio so much it becomes silent; using an envelope to move between how offset the audio is you can fake a VCA, and get volume changes over time like on a normal synth.

Some of the patches, like the snare, rely on you finding sweet spots so be warned that you might not be able to recreate them accurately."

Trogotronic m/277 Dual Tube VCA Tutorial Videos by Learning Modular

Published on Jun 15, 2018 Learning Modular

"This set of five movies covers the Trogotronic m/277 Stereo High-Voltage Tube VCA / Overdrive / Preamp module. Even if you don't have this specific module, the series covers a lot of useful information on managing signal levels to get different sounds out of a module, stereo and faux stereo processing, and the differences between putting the VCA before or after the VCA.

The first movie is an overview & demo of the module. The remaining movies cover using it as an output overdrive processor, using it as a stereo-izer (panning etc.), how it behaves as a VCA in the “normal” position after the filter, and how that behavior changes if you place it before the VCF.

These movies are also part of my Eurorack Expansion course on LearningModular.com:

Moog Grandmother Semi-Modular Keyboard Synth

Published on Jun 15, 2018 Perfect Circuit Audio

"The Moog Grandmother is an analog semi-modular keyboard synthesizer with circuitry inspired by the Moog Modular. It has an arpeggiator and sequencer, two VCOs, an LFO that can be used as a third oscillator, a low-pass ladder filter as well as a simple high-pass filter and a spring reverb. The Grandmother can be played as a regular synth voice without patching anything, but you can experiment with other routing options by using patch cables.

Roland Juno-60 Keyboard Synthesizer

"Roland Juno-60 61-key polyphonic synthesizer. This synth is about 35 years old, but is in very good condition for its age. All keys, sliders, switches, bender, filters, chorus, patch bank, etc. are fully functioning.

There are two exceptions. The biggest issue is the arpeggiator. It works currently, but it is stuck in the "up & down" and "range = 2" positions. I recently purchased the two 3-point arpeggiator toggles you see in the photos from Syntaur.com - I put them in the right spot, but now they simply need to be soldered to the circuit board. (Note that the yellow "Hold" button cap was also a replacement purchase from Syntaur.com)

The lesser issue is that the "Key Transpose" button will turn on, but it won't turn off consistently. This problem goes away if you restart the synth. I expect that this is also an easy fix for someone who knows some basic synth maintenance techniques.

Otherwise, everything else seems to works great and the synth sounds amazing."
