The New Utility Powerhouse - Boundary by Schlappi Engineering

video upload by

"In this video resident expert Nick Bigelow of Patchwerks shares with us the many ways you can use Boundary by making comparisons with the Make Noise Maths.

The Boundary is a multi-purpose modulation and signal control center. It consists of a cycling slew and a four quadrant multiplier (VCA).

The cycling slew (which can be used as an envelope or LFO) has individual control over rise and fall, rate and shape, as well as dedicated inputs for trigger, slew (for gates or pitch cv), full wave rectification (for envelope following), and a unique BOUND input which allows for bouncing ball effects and additional modulation of the envelope.

The four quadrant multiplier is an OTA design and is usable as a VCA or ring modulator with a soft limiter on the output to tame extreme signals or push into distortion.

THE LEGACY
I remember in 2009, when I was working at the first release of Berna, that first and foremost, Berna was my love letter to the RAI Studio di Fonologia Musicale, the electronic music studios of the national radio and television of Italy, founded in 1954 by the composers Bruno Maderna and Luciano Berio.
The Studio di Fonologia has been an obsession for me for many years. It was the better equipped electronic music studios of the 50s, with a lot of devices created ad hoc by the Italian Physicist Alfredo Lietti, who literally scavenged the RAI warehouses to collect all the electronic parts from broken or unused devices. The Studio was directed by Berio and Maderna, first, then by Luigi Nono, and for me these three composers are the sacred trinity of the classic Italian avant-garde. I immensely love their work and their legacy.
But behind the buttons and the mixer console, there was always the prototype of the modern sound engineer and producer: Marino Zuccheri, the technician in white coat that assisted the composers and very often created the sounds of the masterpieces of Italian electronic music. Zuccheri has been an immense inspiration for me, as a sound technician myself, and to his legacy I, once again, dedicate this new version of Berna.

WHAT’S NEW IN BERNA 3

Berna 2 was released in 2013 and it had a substantial improvement of the user interface. Meanwhile this early electronic music studio simulation become popular among schools and institutions of electronic music, among them the TUFTS University and the Royal College of Music of Stokholm. The primary goal of Berna had always been education and always will be.
Berna 3 tries to push the early electronic music studio simulation further, with more realism and details, and a new set of devices. All in all, Berna 3 will be an useful instrument both for students as well as for composers and producers who are interested in playing test equipment and historical devices.

video upload by Microflat

"I was 12 years old. Knew nothing about Ridley Scott, Rutger Hauer or Vangelis. But the atmospheric sound of the now legendary synthesizer Yamaha CS-80 was an instant game changer for me. What on earth was that? The Hydrasynth is a worthy replicant. All audio output effects are default ASM Hydrasynth FX."

Yamaha QY10 Sound Module Sound Demo - No Talking

"Yamaha QY10 Sound Module Sound Demo - No Talking

In this video I run through the Yamaha QY10 sound set. Although it is a very basic device, I found it very useful for filler sounds and drums when I was doing music in the '90s. Let me know in the comments if you would like me to do an overview of the features. With an 8 track sequencer and the tiny "VHS" format, it could do surprising amount for it's time.
