"2020 was blooping weird. But synth-wise, what were the best-selling blooping machines? Watch along as host Natalie dives into each category to show off the most popular synths of the year based on total number of sales on Reverb.

"In this video we take a deep dive into Acid Rain Technology's newest module the Maestro! The Maestro quickly became a favorite for me due to it's performative nature and easy to understand interface. With save and load features, long smooth modulation sources, LFO chains, and one shot envelopes it's a dream for a live performer.
From Acid Rain Technology:
'Maestro is a 6 channel clocked modulation controller inspired by the automation lanes found in digital audio workstation software, brought into eurorack and made playable and performable. Maestro will push and pull the parameters of your other modules with rapid or slowly evolving voltages, always in perfect sync with each other and the rest of your system.'

Quick Tip using the KVP to send external VCOs into the MS-20. KVP stands for Korg Voltage Processor, and is derived from the vintage MS-02 voltage processor no longer in production. As you're already aware, you can use KVP to convert eurorack pitch (v/oct) to the Korg standard (hz/v). And use your sequencer to control the MS-20....
But what about the other (Korg hz/v)-to-(Euro v/oct) pitch converter? Sure! Use the MS-20 to control your eurorack VCOs. Take it only one step further to send the external VCO output INTO the MS-20 external input. To add more VCOs to the MS-20 oscillators for big fat sound. I will show you how to patch it up. It works for the vintage MS-20, the MS-20 Mini reissue as well as the Behringer K-2. And any manufacturer synth using the Hz/v standard.
Some shaky cam footage, I threw this one together in haste...but don't hate :D Hit that LIKE, COMMENT & SUBSCRIBE now.

"We're experimenting with what the modular synthesizer can do with vocals, by mixing voice and a vco into the wave multiplier module.
The Serge is controlled by a eurorack Turing Machine module, trigged by a Shuffling Clock Multiplier. The Serge itself uses the NTO, PCO, VCFQ, Wave Multiplier, DTG & Xfader.
"LŪP came about when I was commissioned to build a custom tape-looper instrument for a musician called King Creosote. I wanted the machine to embody the compositional ideas of the two esteemed New York avant-garde composers, William Basinski and Steve Reich. It plays 12 second tape loops which ‘disintegrate’ over time as the tape passes near to a rotating magnetic disc. This rotating disc also provides a clock and drives two eccentric cams which sends out ever-shifting phase patterns. You can hook the machine up to a modular synthesiser and process the disintegrating tape loops while generating Reichian phase shifting patterns. I made an album doing just that which will be available on 4th Dec from Bandcamp."
"TBD is a generic multifunctional DSP module with more than 20 different synthesizer and effect plugins. Additionally, TBD enables the implementation of self-made DSP algorithms.
This video shows some examples of the DSP plugins, that are already implemented on TBD and ready-to-use. We and many other developers are constantly working on new DSP plugins, which will be available on the TBD in the future.
You can find all plugins and some more sound examples on the TBD product page on our website:
"This is a preview video of the functionality of the patch librarian / advanced editor for Anyma Phi.
This will be made available as a stretch goal if reached, see our Kickstarter page for details:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...
Anyma Phi is an affordable hybrid monophonic synthesizer that allows you to create new sound universes inspired from the real world, where objects collide, vibrate, and resonate.
Anyma Phi blends the classic ingredients of electronic music with physical modeling technology, allowing it to simulate acoustic sound sources, such as strings or reeds, as well as resonating structures, like wood, glass, or metal."
