Weird modular ambient jam (subsequent 37, novation peak, milk frothing pitcher)

Published on Oct 13, 2018 ollilaboratories

"If you like my stuff please support me on http://music.ollilab.com/ and https://www.patreon.com/theBURG

track working title - //BURG - everything that scatters//

So, i just recently got the Intellijel Planar 2.. after a couple of test rides the ambient space man came knocking on my door. So I thought.. hey why not, we have not talked for a while.

So we sat down, drank some coffee and later took a little ride in his space ship.. I also brought the metal pitcher just in case we needed it on the ride, good thinking on my part. It was great fun, cant wait do meet him again! :)

Gear used: KORG grandstage, Subsequent 37, Novation Peak, Nord Lead A1 and a milk frothing pitcher.

FX used: eventide space, strymon timeline, EQD transmisser, keeley caverns, strymon bluesky, RE_20 space echo, catalinbread CSIDMAN, red panda particle, tc electronic DITTO x2

Modular: Braids, Rings, Morphagene and A-111-3"

DSI OB6 - filter and oscillators in depth - Dave Smith Oberheim OB6

Published on Apr 6, 2016 SynthBae

"HD audio when you set to 720.

A close up listen to some of the core features, particularly the filter in all its modes and the oscillators as well as some modulation routing.

I don't delve much into the effects or performance controls like aftertouch etc. But it should give you a clear idea of the filter and the oscillators."

Percussa Adds Physical Modeling Membrane Module (PMM) to SSP

percussa ssp - physical modeling membrane module demo Published on Oct 13, 2018 PERCUSSA

"short demo for the new physical modeling membrane module on the percussa super signal processor (ssp) eurorack module - membrane excitation triggered by make noise MATHS as well as internal square wave LFO on the SSP. Power and tension modulations of the membrane using low-frequency noise generators on the SSP with offset applied via the DC generator module on the SSP. Learn more about the SSP at http://www.percussa.com/"

via the Kickstarter campaign:

"Time for another update! In this one we introduce the physical modeling membrane module (PMM) which was a kickstarter stretch goal module. We also provide an example preset to go with the module.

Physical modeling membrane (PMM) module + DEMO VIDEO

The module has the following inputs:

Gate input to trigger the virtual "hammer" that strikes the virtual drum membrane (also called the excitation)
Power input / parameter to control with how much force the virtual hammer strikes the drum
Tension to control how loose or tight the drum membrane is (controls the pitch of the resulting drum sound)
You can feed an external trigger into the gate input or just use an internal square wave LFO on the SSP if you wish. In my demo video I do both, first with a make noise MATHS and afterwards with a square wave LFO. In the video I also demo modulation of the power and tension inputs using low-frequency noise generators. The tension modulation signal is offset using a DC generator module.


Pitch tracking fixes

Pitch tracking bugs reported by @IvanS and others are now fixed for all the modules that have a pitch input
Coarse/fine frequency settings for modules with a pitch input now no longer affect tuning but are simply an offset for the frequency calculated from the incoming pitch signal. Frequency modulation received via the frequency input is applied on top of this offset and the frequency derived from the pitch signal.
If you feed a pitch signal into an LFO or other module with a pitch input, and you don't want a frequency offset, remember to set coarse/fine to zero on the p-page.

That's all for now, we hope you enjoy this new module!

Ciat Lonbarde Sidrax Analog Touch Wood Synthesizer Organ

"Ciat-Lonbarde Sidrax
Zero Sonic Issues (Banana Cables Not Included)

The sidrax organ follows a lineage of electronic musical instruments based on touch. it was redesigned twice, first as sidrassi, then as sidrazzi. it has seven wooden bars that you press to express seven oscillators within. each oscillator has its own fine tuning slider, embedded right within its bar. also, there is a master pitch knob, and a master chaos knob. the master chaos knob makes the instrument go from pure triangle tones to a nest of noise. it does this by gradually increasing modulation from one oscillator to the next in a circular pattern. sidrax has enough bars to construct sweetest melodies from the triangle waves, whereas tetrax is a simple four-bar entity, with complexity of tone for funky bass.

there are 44 modulation points brought forth as banana jacks. they are arranged in seven columns, representing the seven bars. their layout is shifted diagonally, to allow inputs in proximity to outputs. this is for touch-playability; you can make banana jack metal studs that can be squished by hand to gesture-patch the instrument. inputs are cool colors: blue, green, and grey. outputs are hot colors: red and orange. the grey jacks are parallel inputs with the master knobs: the one on the left is for master pitch, the right one is master chaos. the color allotment for each bar is as follows:
