"To celebrate the release of the final module in the "distortion of the month" series Noise Engineering teamed up with us to throw together the ultimate Halloween party for all the modular synth fans in Los Angeles. Expect a demonstration of the newest module in the "Ruina" family, performances from Noise Engineering team and other artists (TBA), free drinks and pizza, and a table full of modular synth systems equipped with all the recent distortion modules from the manufacturer and more. Oh, and as usual with our events, there will be a raffle, so you may even comeback home with an honestly won module.

"This is an overlay that you place over the front panel faceplate of your DSI Evolver Desktop synthesizer. Designed for use in live performance, the artwork uses high contrast graphics and large fonts for easy viewing in low light. Parameter labels are color-coded based on their synthesis function (Blue for Oscillators, Red for Filters, etc.) to allow performers to make quick adjustments or even perform radical sound design in realtime.

Unnofficial Volca FM firmware 1.08 Update

"Volca FM firmware 1.08 [UNOFFICIAL] - velocity on note in, LFO fix, patch transfer, more CCs etc.
TLDR; I hacked the Volca FM firmware, fixed a bunch of really old bugs, added some features.

I have received a lot of feedback from people requesting the "1.05" FW (that added velocity on MIDI in) that I posted this spring. In June, I made a 1.06 version that added a bunch of other stuff as well. Big THANKS to the small group of beta testers that helped me evaluate that :-)
Imagine my surprise when KORG did the september FW drop - I thought the older Volcas were orphaned. But they did release FW for the FM - and still ignored the bugs! It was a bit rich. Now I have grafted my tweaks onto the 1.07 FW - you guys like it super fresh I imagine.
Check the KORG official FW update instructions carefully. 2 files need to go through for this to work as intended. Make sure no other sounds are playing, and use 44.1kHz native sample rate.
I take no responability whatsoever if you manage to mess up your FM. THIS IS ON YOUR OWN RISK.

"Tom Kelly is an American composer-performer currently residing in Chicago, IL. Kellyʼs electroacoustic works explore the idea of liminal space, and aims to cultivate heightened awareness and a sense of wonder in both his audience and himself. He is interested in the intersections and interplay between analogue and digital mediums—frequently utilizing modular synthesizers to craft sonic environments which obscure the distinctions between the two.

Focused on his practice, Kelly finds a compelling dialog between intuition and structure, and sees this conversation as indispensable to the vitality of his creative expression."
