You can find a few demos of the Alpes Ctrlr in previous posts here (note some vids were pulled but there a few still up). They made the Stereo One-O-Six chorus pedal as well.

"playing with the multisampler, which I recorded right into the (emulated here) module over its audio input, from my yamaha upright! 2 repetitions of 4 octaves, as it happens. then fiddling with arp, euclidean rhyhthm on the arp, a bit of delay, tuning the grains to be a 4th apart, adding a bit of wobbly pitch lfo... lovely!"

Wendy Carlos Bogus "Bio" Alert
via Wendy Carlos' website:
Please be aware there’s a purported “Biography” on me just released. It belongs on the fiction shelf. No one ever interviewed me, nor anyone I know. There's zero fact-checking. Don’t recognize myself anywhere in there—weird. Sloppy, dull and dubious, it's hardly an objective academic study as it pretends to be.
This slim, mean-sprited volume is based on several false premises. All of it is speculation taken out of context. The key sources are other people’s write-ups of interviews done for magazine articles. There’s simply no way to know what’s true or not—nothing is first-hand.
The book is presumptuous. Pathetically, it accepts as “factual” a grab-bag of online urban legends, including anonymous axes to grind. The author imputes things she doesn’t understand, misses the real reasons for what was done or not done. She’s in way over her head, outside any areas of expertise, and even defames my dear deceased parents—shame!
=====
Well, now you know, and have the victim's honest reactions. Wish there were more one could do about needless personal attacks, but we have to understand how essential freedom of speech is, even when it permits such abuse. Have dealt with stereotyping most of my life, a pretty tough hide by now. But aren’t there new, more interesting targets?
Unless you consider “academic” books a form of contact sport, you really might want to reconsider your time and money. —Wendy Carlos, August 2020.
Precursor Mobile, Open-Hardware, RISC-V System-on-Chip (SoC) Seeks Crowdfuning
For the DIYers.
In via @deejayiwan.
"CPU Emulation: While the reference FPGA ships with a 32-bit RISC-V CPU running at 100MHz, it can be reconfigured to emulate a wide range of retro-CPUs, from the 6502 to the Z-80 to something we’ve never even heard of. Furthermore, Precursor’s FPGA-based design can accurately emulate old sound chips in hardware, and its modular keyboard can be swapped out for an alternative that more closely resembles your favorite old controller. Be warned, however: it will no longer fit in your pocket if you mount a joystick on it."Audio features:
Audio with safe defaults
Integrated 0.7 W speaker for notifications
Vibration motor
3.5 mm headset jack
No integrated microphone – audio surveillance is not possible when headset is unplugged
Bidirectional I²S interface for audio
You can find full details here.
Cool handheld device.
Launchpad Pro [MK3] - Sequencer: Probability, Mutation, Velocity // Novation
NovationTV
NovationTV Launchpad Pro posts
"Enrique shows you how to get started with the Launchpad Pro [MK3]'s Probability, Mutation and Velocity functions, as part of our Launchpad Pro [MK3] Sequencer tutorial series."
Launchpad Pro [MK3] - Sequencer: Print to Clip // Novation
"On the Launchpad Pro [MK3] we've introduced a Print to Clip feature on the standalone sequencer. The sequencer patterns can now easily be transferred from your Launchpad Pro [MK3] to Ableton Live and placed within Clip slots with no need to record them. Enrique shows you how to get started as part of our Launchpad Pro [MK3] Sequencer tutorial series.
Launchpad Pro [MK3] is our most powerful 64-pad MIDI grid controller for producing: both in Ableton Live and with your hardware. It gives you everything you need to create and perform your tracks.
Featuring deeper Live integration and dedicated buttons that get you closer to the Ableton workflow, Launchpad Pro [MK3] is our most advanced grid controller for producing with Ableton Live. Plus, keep your tracks evolving with the four-track, eight-note polyphonic, 32-step standalone sequencer, get inspired to build harmonies with chord mode and never hit a wrong note with scale mode.
Make Launchpad Pro [MK3] your own. Custom Modes lets you design the perfect controller for your live setup and perform with all your gear, however you want. You can also tailor Launchpad Pro [MK3] to take control of MIDI-compatible hardware and software – with or without a computer.
That’s not all, Launchpad Pro comes with a constant source of inspiration featuring plug-ins, sounds, instruments and effects from AAS, Softube, XLN Addictive Keys, and Klevgrand R0Verb and DAW Cassette- plus membership to Novation Sound Collective.

CP3- Audio Mixer [USER REVIEW + Demo] by Feedback DIY SMD Eurorack
gstormelectro
"Audio and Video by G-Storm Electro c. 2020
This is the second video in a series of user reviews. [1st video here]
I am focusing on DIY eurorack modules by the maker Feedback.
In other videos I have covered their Static and Squeeze modules.
Today I am looking at the DIY CP3- Mixer derived from the Moog modular.
I will be giving some quick thoughts about the build.
But focus more on demo-ing some sounds.
The CP3-type mixer uses all discrete components, there are no IC chips inside!
At the end I give some concluding remarks.
But don't take my word for it.
In this video I will run all sorts of sounds through the CP3- so you can judge for yourself.

Noise Engineering Horologic Solum
Blog: Four voice patch with Horologic Solum
Noise Engineering
From the blog: https://www.noiseengineering.us/blog/...
Preorder Horologic Solum/Horologic Uter: https://www.noiseengineering.us/shop/...
"When used as a clock generator, the HS has a variety of uses. The top output is always the base clock, and the three outputs below that are divisions of it. Those outputs can be set to 2/4/8, 3/5/7, or 4/16/64 respectively with a flick of the “2 0 4” switch. Personally, I like to use the 4/16/64 setting when I want to keep a bunch of sequencers in sync and phase. I can route the root clock to their clock inputs, and use one of the slower clocks to keep them all in phase. The 3/5/7 setting I like a lot for slower, more experimental patches where I want to move away from a 4/4 grid. Especially when paired with something like Integra Funkitus to add some probability to the clock outputs, you can ditch the sequencers entirely and create an interesting patch just with some unusual divisions.
Let’s try something a bit more traditional, though: here, we’re using Horologic Solum to clock a Mimetic Digitalis and an Intellijel Steppy to trigger and modulate a four-voice patch."
Blog: Swing with Horologic Solum
Noise Engineering
"Since HS is voltage controllable, there are a lot of things that we can do to make our clocks more interesting. Gradual tempo changes can be automated with a slow LFO, or we can do more experimental things by patching envelopes, random CV, and other signals here for some more unusual results. However, there’s a more traditional use for it, too: swing! All we have to do is get a CV sequencer and clock it with HS, then feed the sequence into the CV input on HS. Let’s take a listen to what it can sound like."
Blog: Drum machine jam with Horologic Solum
"HS is a Eurorack module, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t use it with other pieces of gear, too! A lot of gear can take analog triggers or clock, which means that we can use Horologic Solum as well as Horologic Uter to control a plethora of other devices. HU, with its extra outs, is especially useful when using lots of gear since you have so many clock options. Here, we’re jamming on a rack with a voice, some sequencing, and some FX, alongside an external drum machine."
