Digitakt Solo Performance at Patchwerks


Patchwerks Seattle

"In this video resident expert Rae of Patchwerks performs for us on her trusty Elektron Digitakt!

The Elektron Digitakt is a beat making powerhouse.

Compact, rugged and to the point. Digitakt is a formidable drum machine and sampler. With an astounding feature set and an exquisite digital sound engine, the stage is set for a striking encounter. Digitakt is a compact sampling drum machine from Elektron. It contains all the necessary tools to make people move to the beat. A digital and highly flexible sound engine, sampling capability, a live-friendly sequencer, dedicated tracks for controlling external MIDI gear, and Overbridge support.

The Digitakt is made for heavy use. It features hi res encoders and extremely durable back-lit buttons (rated for 50 million presses). The ultra crisp OLED screen perfectly renders the clear and streamlined user interface. The Digitakt comes pre-loaded with heaps of great electronic and acoustic sounds. Drums, percussion, synths, and FX are all part of the sound palette. The sample collection allows you to start creating, experimenting and producing right away.

Virtual Music Introduces Polivoks Filter for the Waldorf Pulse


Virtual Music

Waldorf Pulse + Polivoks Filter – Filter Comparison




via Virtual Music

"The Polivoks Multimode Filter integrated in the Pulse - a Synthesizer on Steroid!

The filter of the Russian Polivoks synthesizer is legendary for its powerful and mangy sound. Nothing in the world is that fat! The new Virtual Music Polivoks Filter Upgrade is an adequate replica. It is a small circuit board, designed for installation in the Waldorf Pulse.

Polivoks + Pulse = A powerful team!
The distinctive aesthetics of the Polivoks filter under the control of a powerful modulation matrix make sonic dreams come true. With relatively little effort, this Filter Upgrade transforms the Pulse into a fantastic sounding analog monster that even outshines some famous vintage synthesizers.


All features of the Polivoks Filter Upgrade
Vintage sound an analogue warmth for Waldorf Pulse / Pulse Plus
Authentic fat Polivoks sound Polivoks Filter Upgrade - Board
Multimode filter with low pass and band pass characteristics
Optional filter modulation by Oscillator 3
The orignal Pulse filter still remains
All filters can be selected quickly via the panel
Seamless integration into the Pulse sound generation
Kit for self-installation - optional installation by Virtual Music
Installation without any optical change of the Pulse
The filter's audio path is built in the style of the 80s
Handmade boutique ware built in small batch in Vienna
A very powerful Sound

The Polivoks Filter Upgrade sounds like the legendary original. The sound is creamy and powerfully mangy. Higher oscillator levels produce juicy saturation effects. With stronger resonances, the filter begins to scream passionately."

Waldorf's Kyra Gets an Update



via Waldorf

"Kyra Firmware ver 1.78 changes (compared to 1.74 )
- Fixed the incorrect play and MIDI transmission of Arpeggiator notes at very high note pitches.
- Fixed a problem where Arpeggiator notes could be left hanging on external MIDI devices. - Fixed incorrect display of some ModMat source names.
- Fixed a problem where LFOs in antiphase or quadrature phase started at a random phase.
- Added new Range parameter to LFO2 and LFO2 to allow rates up to 51.2Hz. Standard Range provides the existing rate range of 0.1Hz to 12.8Hz in 0.1Hz steps. Extended Range provides an extended rate ranging from 0.4Hz to 51.2Hz in 0.4Hz steps.
- Added the ability to adjust the phase of LFO1 and LFO2 in the range 0 to 180 degrees. The LFO must be in Polyphonic mode for this to have any effect. You can use the LFO Shape knob in Shift Mode to adjust the phase.
-Added the ability to adjust velocity scaling in the range 0 (no scaling, all notes played play at maximum level) to 127 (full velocity scaling). You can use the Amp EG Decay knob in Shift Mode to adjust the scaling.
-Added Latch Mode for the Arpeggiator. In Latch Mode, notes will play continuously until a new chord is played or the Arpeggiator is stopped. The existing mode using the sustain pedal can be selected by setting the Latch Mode to Sustain Pedal. There's a shortcut to start the Arpeggiator in Latch Mode by selecting Shift + Arp Enable.
-Reduced the default Dual Detune amount from 64 to 20 for Patches created using Init Patch.
- Removed the "Bass Delay" feature as it no longer served any purpose.
Kyra Firmware ver 1.74 changes (compared to 1.72 )
-Fixed a problem where the reverb damping on Part 2 could affect the reverb on Parts 3-8. -Fixed a problem that could cause very occasional clicks when the Phaser is used. -Corrected L and R being swapped over on audio outputs (analog and USB).
-Added a fast way to create an Init Patch by simply pressing Shift and Exit together."

Uglysound Noise Demo: NLC GENiE


Uglysound

"Matt tests out his newly-built NLC GENiE with a noise demo.

From the NLC site: "GEneralized Nonlinear Extrapolator This module is made of 3 neuron circuits and a difference rectifier. (... )Just like a set of synaptically connected neurons, this module is noisy and unruly. It is never going to learn anything it lives in and for the moment."

More information about this design (as well as PCBs, panels, and complete modules) is available from Nonlinearcircuits here:https://www.nonlinearcircuits.com/mod...

PCBs, panels, and complete kits are available from synthCube here: https://synthcube.com/cart/nlc1080-ge...

As always, thank you for supporting independent artists and businesses. They make the world a far more interesting place!"
