BugBrand DRM2

Published on Sep 4, 2018 BugBrand

"Introducing the BugBrand DRM2. The video highlights some of the numerous sounds and approaches possible with this fully analogue synthesizer.

The sound path is: VCOsc--VCFilter--VCAmp
The control path is: Trigger Processor-- BendEnv, S&H, AmpEnv
+ audio preamp for processing external signals
+ a whole host of 4mm banana inputs/outputs.

Played straight into a Yamaha powered speaker and recorded with a Rode camera mic."

Noir Et Blanc Vie: My Insider Look at Dave Smith Instruments & New Synth In the Works

Published on Sep 4, 2018 Noir Et Blanc Vie

"I was lucky enough to be invited to Dave Smith Instruments home base in San Francisco. I was able to see tons of new and vintage equipment and even a NEW synth. There was everything from the Prophet 5, to the Prophet 6 to the Prophet X and everything in between. Being a DSI Artist is an honor and events like these are amazing to be a part of! So let's see what's up inside a day at Dave Smith Instruments; Now known officially as Sequential."

Signal Switcher + Sampler Triggering + Step Seq Demo SSP 04092018 & an Update

Published on Sep 4, 2018 PERCUSSA

"In this demo the step sequencer module on the SSP sends sample selecting and gate signals to the signal switcher / sampler modules. The step value controls the selection of samples via the switcher module. More info about the SSP at http://www.percussa.com/"

Update: via the Percussa kickstarter:

"Update 04092018 - 3 new modules + copy paste feature + bugfixes!

Hi everyone,

Time for a new software update! Below is a summary of what's new. For the full story visit the forum.

New Module (1/3) - Bus

We added a new module that allows you to route signals anywhere in the patcher grid, which is important if you're working on a big patch spanning multiple pages.

The new BUS module lets you do this. It has 8 inputs and 8 outputs. The input channels are summed to corresponding channels of an internal buffer, and the output channels are read from the internal buffers' channels. You can change the source and destination buffer number via the P-page (there are 64 internal buffers!).

An interesting side effect is that if you wrote data into a buffer and then stop writing to that destination, but then read from the buffer using another bus module, is that the contents are still there and will be looped :-)


New Module (2/3) - Switcher

We added a signal switcher module as requested by @Mercurial @IvanS and others. The switcher module has a selection input, and a signal input. The selection input is used to route the signal input to any of the 8 outputs of the switcher module.


One example application is to send a gate into the signal input and to connect the 8 outputs to the 8 gate inputs of the sampler such that when the selection input changes, the gate triggers a different sample. You can see this in action in the video below.


New Module (3/3) - Simple Delay [kickstarter stretch goal]
We added a simple delay module, with delay parameter. The delay module has a signal input and output, and simply delays a signal. It can be used of course with any signal, such as audio signals, CVs and gates, internal or external.


New Features and Bug Fixes

* Module copy paste feature has been implemented in the patcher grid (N-page) as requested by @BrettSaberhagen and others. Module parameter settings are copied and multiple-pasting is possible after pressing the copy button once.

* Bug reported by @mercurial @sspix regarding preset selection and loading (lots of turning to select next/previous preset) has now been fixed.

We hope you enjoy this new update and look forward to the next one! Thanks for your continued support,

Bert & Celine"

"Unveil the Universe Within. Enzo is a multi-voice synthesizer that will track your guitar for tight monosynth leads, complex chord polyphony, or multi-note sequenced arpeggiation, all without the need for a special pickup. Watch Angelo completely transform his input signal and re-synthesize it with the Enzo's synth tool palette. Hook up an expression pedal directly to the back of the pedal for expressive control or automate with MIDI."

some spooky late night music - Eurorack with Monome Kria & Ableton Wavetable

Published on Sep 4, 2018 junklight

"Still loving the old grids.

Kria is a nice sequencer - once you have a grid - Ansible is really good value - two decent sequencers and the Earthsea app as well.

The Ableton wavetable synth continues to be my new favourite wavetable based synth. It was pretty much bottom of my list of reasons to upgrade to 10 - 'why would I need that when I already have a ton of wavetables' but it's ace!"

Warnung Koma

Published on Aug 31, 2018 Jurgen SONICrider

"Koma Warnung" is probably the best warning till now...

In a live studio session exploring some of the possibilities the Koma Elektron Fieldkits have in term of sounddesign, CV manipulation and controlling electronic devices.

Sound only: https://soundcloud.com/sonicrider/kom...

Used gear:
- Koma Fieldkit
- Koma Fieldkit FX
- Korg Arp Odyssey Module
- Reverslandfill Noise (to Fieldkit FX delay in)
- Reverslandfill Creep Cluster (to Fieldkit FX spring in)
- Patchblock (drone)
- Casette "Sirenensignale zur Warnung" (words)
- Mackie mixing console with Tiptop ZSP's (reverb & delay)
- iPhone scanned with electro pick up.

Patch (main approach):
- LFO Fieldkit controls trigger Arp, Motor DIY string, CV sequencer Fieldkit FX (via CV in 1) & radio search.
- Fieldkit: channel 1 (radio), 2 (LFO), 3 (DIY String), 4 (Aux send Mackie "words")
- Fieldkit: aux out to Fieldkit FX Freq Shift in = Bij using the aux switch per channel the sound flows into the Frequency Shifter.
- Fieldkit FX CV sequencer controlled by Fieldkit LFO into CV input 2 "purple" controlling "Freq Shift Amount", "Freq Shift Contorl", "Delay Time" & "Spring Cut Of")
- Fieldkit FX mixer in: 1 (Freq Shift), 2 (Delay), 3 (Spring), 4 (Electro pick up).
