"Just serviced, all pots and jacks cleaned. Power supply 220V included.
The top panel starts (from left to right) with the control section. Here you'll find a dial to adjust the Glide rate, another for tuning, and a little red trigger button so you can hear the sound.
The VCO section begins with the analogue oscillator. This can be switched between square and saw shapes, while another switch drops it up and down by two octaves. The raw sound is reinforced with a sub oscillator set to a square. A mix control sets the levels between them, while the pitch can be modulated via the LFO.
"The audio from MicroFreak processed looper modules for transform it to micro sampling (change the pitch and reverse), and layering with generative sounds of Marbles to Rings in VCV Rack. Hybrid setup : between of software, and hardware."
"(Try loud with headphones, or through a good stereo system.)
Matrixbrute, plus a few friends. I dusted off the MB last night as it hadn't been switched on in a while. It still works, which is nice.
Good sound, isn't it :)
For this piece, the MB is in matrix arpeggiator mode.
I wrote the harmonic progression before sitting at the synth, worked on an appropriate arpeggiator sequence at the synth, built the patch, then got on with it. Relatively quick, once the harmony/chord progression was there.
Interesting times, isn't it. The other day I went to the local supermarket with my 'Free Hugs' sign. Didn't quite get the reaction I was hoping for. Maybe I hadn't applied my make-up properly.
In any instance, I'll nip down to the local police station later and see if they want some hugs. Half the time you see them, they look like they could be doing with a cuddle.
More synth soon. Possibly some noise/drone. I'll maybe combine a few toys to create some chaos. And maybe add a melodic part on the Sub 25. But don't hold me to that :)
PS yes, my top has holes on the sleeves. But it is 21 years old. I'd say it is doing well for its age. And given it still works/isn't broken, i'll be keeping it until it no longer works.
"Following our T-Networks series we came to realize how important it is to have the right input signal for firing drum modules or envelopes, Gates and Triggers are often looked at as similar signals but at times it really makes a difference and results will change drastically depending if a Gate or a Trigger is fed to the input of such modules.
This led us to develop this simple yet effective Gate to Trigger.
A four channel converter with bypass switch for each channel.
*Here's the new WFM Oscillator from LA67. It's a 8HP Eurorack oscillator that offers multiple dimensions of sound shaping and control. There's the standard triangle and square outs and then a unique 'WFM' section. That offers level control (CV modulation or audio rate for AM synthesis) as well as RSF Kobol style wave shaping and also pulse width modulation. There's the standard FM (exp/lin), sync and 1v/oct controls too. As always this video is about demonstrating the raw sounds and features with musical example and patch tips that can help us all push our synthesis and sound design further.
