FASELUNARE - Microcosmos - IFC2020 presentation

FASELUNARE

"Today we participated in the International Faust Conference 2020 with our Microcosmos project. Here you can see our presentation.

We are finalizing the prototype and the new website." It appears to be a Teensy based DIY project. Some audio demos come in towards the end of the video. This is the first post to feature Microcosmos. You can find additinal posts featuring FASELUNARE via their label below.

"1st attempt to make a demo with this module, using an excerpt from the public domain film Daughter of Dementia to generate CVs. Yes my phone is a bit big (A21) but works fine, the design suits regular 5x2 inch phones.If you want to use your synth for making soundtracks, this module is pretty useful.

The video shown is playing full screen on my phone, which is sitting on a bank of LDRs (light dependent resistors). As the LDRs change corresponding to what is on the screen, the circuit generates a variety of CVs based on different sections of the screen."

Kastle Drum - every feature explained - modular glitch-drummachine
Bastl Instruments

"Kastle Drum is a special edition of Bastl’s classic mini modular synth focusing on algorithmic industrial glitchy drums. A mini modular synthesizer with a headphone output, 2 in/out ports for interfacing other gear, and it runs on just 3 AA batteries. It is ideal for beginners in modular synthesis, but it will add some quite unique functionality to any modular synthesizer system. It delivers the fun of modular synthesis at a low price and fits into your pocket so you can play it anywhere!"

"Kastle was originally released in Fall 2016 and gained instant popularity as an affordable, pocket-sized modular synth. We processed a lot of feedback and introduced a much improved version v1.5 a year later. Now we’re revisiting the concept once again with an alternative way to operate the same hardware.

The design process gave birth to a seemingly limited, but in fact an innovative and quite playful take on a rhythm box that is using some novel concepts, like the dynamic acceleration envelope to build “a lot of dynamic rhythm” out of very little modulation.

The Kastle Drum is a special edition of Bastl’s classic mini modular synth focusing on algorithmic industrial glitchy drums.

Drum sound synthesis with a unique dynamic acceleration charged envelope makes this rhythm box surprisingly versatile and extremely fun to play. The built-in VC clock generator with a stepped pattern sequencer can either run on its own or it can be synchronized to analog clock, while retaining the triangle LFO for parameter modulation.

How to make Moderat -- New Error using triplets on the Running Order and Shuttle System

Endorphin.es

"Running Order as Triplet Generator

In this video we are using Running Order to generate triplet triggers (3/4), while the pitch information is coming from the sequencer in 4/4. The example is a track named New Error by @Moderat, where both the bass and lead are played in triplets. Experiment by using different sources for triggers and cv to create new and interesting sequences, try different time signatures available on Running Order to break away from the typical 4/4 feel."

Introducing Pattern Mutator for Reason

Reason Studios

"Pattern Mutator is a new Player Rack Extension that helps you create note pattern sequences and then mutate them – warping their pitch, timing, duration and velocity into entirely new pattern variations. Pattern Mutator makes getting started with note sequencers easy and taking those sequences into whole new directions even easier.
