ELKA - The Sidekick 32 - Dumcomputer demoloops and a sweet song

Published on Jul 27, 2018 Stereoping

"Demo of the Elka Sidekick32 in high audio quality. The Sidekick got 16 rhythms in 2 variations with different BREAKs, manually engagable. Digital logic and EPROM rhythms but analogue sound generation. there is a PCB filtering the hihats in 3 different flavours, depending on the selected rhythm. I also attached a custom midiinterface, the song starting at 2:55 shows midi triggering and some pictures of the inside as well as a 'bug' i found ;-) Video starts with some of the really brilliant programmed presets.
I got an article on my website about this machine, you will find a WAV-samplepack for free download there."

takaab LFO 3 & VCA eurorack modules

Published on Jul 27, 2018 paul tas

Note this is the first post to feature takaab. Below is some info on the LFO 3 from errorinstruments. I'm not seeing a page on the VCA yet.

3x Low Frequency Oscillator Eurorack Module
3 variable LFOs of varying frequency ranges in one handy 6HP eurorack module. LFO 1 is the fastest with LFOs 2 and 3 being slower by a factor of 10 and 100 respectively. Each oscillator outputs both square(ish) and triangle waves.

Approximate frequency ranges:

LFO 1: 4 ms (250hz) - 0.76 seconds

LFO 2: 40ms (25hz) - 7.6 seconds

LFO 3: 0.4 seconds (2.5hz) - 76 seconds

Size: 3cm (6HP) x 128.5cm x 5.5cm.

Module depth: 37mm.

2 outputs per LFO (square* wave and triangle wave).

Runs off +/-12v standard eurorack power supply.

Package contents: 1x module, 1x 16 pin power cable, 2x 3M screws.

Ritual Electronics - Miasma (distortion, feedback, thickener & bonkers!)

Published on Jul 27, 2018 DivKidVideo

Note there is a Halcyon Miasma as well. This is the first Ritual Electronics post on the site.

"TIMING INDEX BELOW! Here's the new Miasma from Ritual Electronics in Paris, France. It's a distortion and feedback device with a tonne of character from warm and clipped/compressed channel strip in vibe to all out chaos and screaming oscillation. There's a blend for parallel dry/wet processing, gain with CV input and attenuverter and feedback with CV input and attenuverter. You also get a feedback out and in so you can filter/effect and process the feedback path for more creative sound design. There's one rectification diode for the positive part of the wave and another for the negative and you can swap this out with no tools right on the back side of the module. So changing diodes/LEDs for different symmetrical or asymmetrical clipping is good fun too as you can change the whole flavour of the thing.It will do more subtle drive, but as soon as rectification kicks in and kind of snatches at your waves your into driven nasty town ... and it's lovely!

TIMING INDEX & LINKS

00:00 hello and previews of what's to come

01:02 Feature & control run down

01:59 303 style acid line - total destruction (when you want it) a big exploration of tones/colours and controls.

04:27 Processing drums - parallel mixing, channel strip style "colour" and intense saturation & noise.

06:48 Further examples - this is a Korg Volca Sample with chord hits, drums and synth hits.

08:12 Processing oscillator waves - using a triangle wave we take a look and listen to the waveshaping distortion and feedback.

10:21 Swapping out the components - how does the sound change and how do you do it?

12:23 Exploring and processing the feedback loop - first using the Make Noise & Soundhack Erbe Verb in the feedback loop.

13:55 Filters in the feedback loop - using the Joranalogue Filter 8 to low pass filter the feedback path.

14:30 Looking at pre or post VCF/VCA processing as well as the CV inputs for dynamic and expressive saturation."

"Miasma is a voltage controlled distortion with a feedback loop you can push to self oscillation for insane results. and interchangeable rectification diodes. giving you an unlimited amount of sound possibilities within one module.

Miasma feedback path feeds the distorted signal back in the input with no phase inversion, causing the module to self oscillate, even with no input. The feedback path can be opened to send it through different effects making Miasma perfect for complex feedback patches.
A blend knob allows Miasma to be used in a precise way, for more complex sound design.
The module's clipping diodes are mounted on a header making it easy to swap them and craft the sound you want. There module ships with six different diodes, from germanium to LEDs and you can experiment adding your own. The output level may vary depending on which diodes you use, this can be adjusted with the level trimmer on the front"

Make Noise System "Cartesian" - Mixolydian Memories

Published on Jul 26, 2018 Jae Ryan

"So I changed up my rig a little bit since I was lucky enough to score one of the QMMG from Make Noise when they had their flash sale. Since this left no room in my skiff for Rene I instead also picked up a matching Ornament & Crime/uBurst (micro clouds) from @mrseri on Instagram. I believe his name is Balint.
Anyways this is my first go with new modules. It's nice having a filter finally. No external effects apart from limiting, reverb and stereo textures are from clouds. O_c is in Sequins mode and using the burst out from woggle bug to clock it and the smooth out from wogglebug to generate the sequence which I've set to random. It's pretty amazing what you can get from a small 104HP skiff when you start to learn it all and push it to its limits! I'll never love the Telharmonic but because of its noise out and beautiful low end I can never bring myself to sell it......

Also the camera stopped recording as I was fading out the track so it will play over some blackness near the end. And the video may not be synced up with the audio, but its not worth watching anyways as all I do is slowly fade in parts."
