Stimming Reviews Arturia's DrumBrute Impact (EB.TV)


Published on Jul 24, 2018 Telekom Electronic Beats

"French tech provider Arturia has unveiled its new DrumBrute Impact, and we’ve tapped Stimming to put this exciting new piece of analogue gear through its paces. Find out what he has to say about this powerful and affordable new machine that draws on the legacy of Arturia’s original DrumBrute unit."

Arturia DrumBrute Impact- House Beat with live arrangements.


Published on Jul 24, 2018 Dziam Bass

"Hi all, the new movie shows Arturia DrumBrute Impact new drum machine Arturia when I made House beat.
It's a great fun in live mode and you can have a great arrangement with mute and solo and with a reel that repeats sections 1/4 1/8 1/16 and 1/32.
Sometimes reminiscent of classic roland Tr 808, it tightens Kick on long sounds with more decay and hats which really in Harmonics mode raise this machine to a higher level. more swing and moving the sound away from the grid allows you to make a mega groove.
Here is some fun at 126 bpm.
Thanks for watching.
Check other my movies ;-)"

Tips n' Tricks: Creating a 64-step sequencer using 2x Moog Mother 32


Published on Jul 24, 2018 Alastair Wilson

"I didn't do a very good job of explaining this patch in the video, so here's a much better explanation:

Theory:
- Both M32s are being triggered by a square LFO. To get them to alternate, one needs to be triggered by the LFO's rising edge (low to high jump), and the second by the falling edge (high to low jump). The problem is that both M32s need a rising edge to be clocked, so we will need to invert the LFO (I say 'reverse' in the video) for the second M32, to turn its falling edge into a rising edge.

Step 1 - clocking the first M32:
By patching the LFO to the Mult, you get 2 outputs of it. One goes straight into the M32's Tempo input to clock it.

Step 2 - inverting the LFO:
The other Mult output is patched to VC Mix Ctrl (which controls the mix between Mix 1 and Mix 2). With no cables patched, Mix 1 is at 0V and Mix 2 is at 5V. We need a jump of 0V to 5V when the LFO falls, flicking the output from Mix 2 to Mix 1, which is the opposite of what is currently happening. To fix this, we have to reverse the voltages at the Mix inputs.

Step 3 - reversing the Mix voltages:
To stop Mix 1 being at 0V and instead be at 5V, we patch in the output of the other M32's VC Mix section, with the VC Mix knob turned clockwise. This sends 5V into Mix 1. To stop Mix 2 being at 5V and instead be at 0V, we patch a dummy cable (a cable only patched at one end) into Mix 2, breaking the normalization of 5V. This puts Mix 2 at 0V.

Step 4 - clocking the second M32:
The VC Mix output is essentially now a square LFO that falls when the clocking LFO rises, and rises when the clocking LFO falls. By patching that into the Tempo input of the second M32, the M32s will both be clocked by the same LFO but will alternate to create a sequence twice as long but also twice as fast. VoilĂ  - a 64-step sequence!"

1010Music Series 1 Eurorack Powerhouse: Review+sound test for Bitbox, Fxbox and Synthbox


Published on Jul 24, 2018 loopop

"A few years ago 1010Music released Bitbox – a simplified but extremely powerful Ableton-Live style sampler, slicer and clip launcher – by far the most advanced Eurorack sampler I've ever seen. Where it gets a little confusing is that since then they've released two completely different firmware versions for the same hardware – Fxbox and Synthbox, which transform it into radically different modules. I'm not talking about just updates with new features (which have also come out separately), but rather alternate firmware versions with entirely different functionality. In parallel, they've released independent modules with said firmware versions, which can also load each other's firmware.

Rarebeasts T7 Autophage


Published on Jul 23, 2018 Rarebeasts

"Sounds based on the life cycle of the T7 bacteriophage."

Follow-up to the T2 Autophage


via Etsy

"The T7 Autophage is an experimental instrument that makes sounds based on the life cycle of a bacteriophage which is a virus that infects bacteria.

Catch the T7 in action here on Youtube https://youtu.be/bRqQKlIXEg0

In the T7 different stages in the life cycle are represented by different sounds, for example a high pitched sound represents attachment of the virus to the bacteria and a short noise burst represents the lysis process.

The timing of the life is approx one minute = one second

This synth requires USB power from a portable phone charger, wall socket or a computer.
The sound output is via a 3.5mm audio socket.

Stats:
Output: 3.5mm socket (Use with earphones, a computer sound card, mixer or amplifier)
Power: USB (Plug into a computer, phone charger or wall socket). No internal battery.
Case: 3D printed ABS"
