Building on the success of the K4815 Pattern Generator originally designed for Eurorack, the K4816 offers Buchla users this amazing module with a design optimised for this high-end format. The K4816 Pattern Generator by Kilpatrick Audio packs incredible power into a single space module. The K4816 can produce notes and varying control voltages for a wide range of musical and experimental sound applications. Its unique approach to music creation is sure to have you finding new melodies and rhythms never heard before. Unlike a step sequencer, where the player picks each note in a sequence, the K4816 creates sequences by combining a scale, a visual pattern (as shown on the display) and a sequence playback motion to determine the rhythms and notes that are actually played. Other parameters can adjust the note and sequence length, as well as the transposition, direction of playback, and so on.

"Shop exclusive Novation Peak BUNDLES at Kraft Music: https://www.kraftmusic.com/brands/nov...

Will Mitchell from Kraft Music provides a step by step tutorial on some sound design techniques with the Novation Peak synthesizer.

Novation Peak is an eight-voice desktop polyphonic synthesizer with analog sound and digital flexibility. Peak's unique New Oxford Oscillators use two waveform generating methods: analog-sounding NCOs (numerically-controlled oscillators) and digital wavetables. Warm and rich with a resonant multi-mode analog filter per voice, Peak also features three distortion points, an extensive modulation system, and the ability to receive polyphonic aftertouch. In addition to USB and MIDI ports, Peak connects to modular systems via a CV modulation input.

TOP 5 EURORACK MODULES According to DivKid

Published on Dec 21, 2018 DivKidVideo

A huge thanks for Chris at www.tinshedmodular.com for supporting the work I do and sponsoring this video on the Top 5 Eurorack Modules as per the sales from the first year of business at Tin Shed Modular. I wanted to have some fun and wish Tin Shed a Happy Birthday with some great British weather and upbeat spirit ... so I hung around in wet, damp, freezing cold rainy places blowing those streamer things and making a mess with party poppers. I also donned a rather fancy party hat. Check out demos for some of the top 5 modules linked below.

Also thanks for Edward Ball for his great abstract paint work that provides a lush background for the modules and to Matt Gaines of MMI Modular for the great USB powered mini case."

--- Cimmerian Caves V2 ---

Echo/Vibrato/Chorus + Fuzz

Dark, warbly and tape-like. Dense modulating echo's. Thick, woolly tube-like distortion. Definitely NOT one of those sterile clean delays, but warm and full of character.

Consisting of a tape-like Echo unit (approx. 925ms max delay time) which, depending on the setting can also be used as Vibrato or Chorus. Along with the Echo effect there is also a thick and woolly Fuzz/distortion. Highly tweak-able with 8 knobs.

Along with the standard line level 1/4" inputs and outputs, the Cimmerian Caves V2 also has 1/8" modular inputs and outputs. These allow for the 'hotter' Eurorack signals to be used with the Cimmerian Caves, lowering the input to avoid distortion and raising the output level back to the hotter modular signal.

Cimmerian Caves works great with synthesizers and drum machines, but it also works perfectly well with guitar and bass!

Ships with 9v power supply (region specific)"
