Twisted Elektrons MEGAfm MKII Coming September 2022



via Twisted Elektrons

"This updated version is identical in appearance and functionality but will include a pair of YM3438 chips instead of the YM2612. The YM3438 is a variant of the YM2612 that is identical in functionality and was featured in the Sega Megadrive II. The circuit layout has also been updated to grant access to the FM chips with minimal disassembly. Indeed the chips are now socketed (removable) and accessible by removing the bottom panel.

This allows you to install alternate FM chips (like the YM2612, modern alternatives or even custom sound chips). You can also mix different versions of FM chip as there are 2 slots that can be configured individually.

MEGAfm MKII features the same audio circuitry and analog distortion as the MKI, as a result both chips sound very similar inside of MEGAfm.

The firmware will work identically on both versions."

High Definition Analog Glitch Art! 1080p @30fps LoFi Future Eurorack VGA to Jack Adapter


video upload by LoFiFuture

"Available to order here: https://lofifutureshop.square.site/pr...

This pair of modules allows you to process High Definition VGA signals with circuit bent analog video circuits. This can be euro mounted glitch effects or desktop mounted (with the use of 3.5mm to RCA adapters)

All you need is a HD VGA output to process (This can be achieved with a HDMI to VGA adapter) and a capture card with a VGA input. Alternatively you can choose to convert the VGA signal back to a HDMI signal for capturing.

One adapter is used to bring VGA into your case ready for processing and one is to be used as the processed VGA output of your case.

Unlike glitching composite video signals, VGA remains stable no matter how hard you glitch it thanks to the separate horizontal and vertical sync signals. These sync signals can be connected either via the rear 2 pin connector, meaning you can take sync from the input module to the output module without the need for 2 extra patch cables up front (the front H/V jacks will come into use upon future module releases)

Glitching each colour channel with a different device produces some wild effects that come out looking crispy clean!

The VGA / JACK adapters are completely passive and use no power.

*note this will work great with SD VGA signals which is great if you are plugging directly into an old projector!"

The Boss DM-2W: A simple delay perfect for synths (no talk)


video upload by Richard DeHove

"Glorious random noodlings with the Boss DM-2W Wazacraft delay pedal and the Erica Synths DB-01. To some an 11-minute no-talking video with a three-knob delay pedal might seem excessive. Well, maybe so. But for delay pedal nuts (like me, and probably you if you're also reading the caption) it's only just enough. Even then I didn't use the delay time input, direct out or do much knob twiddlings The reason is that this pedal sounds beautiful and makes you want to play music, not twiddle knobs.

There's no hint of line-level input issues (as you get with some pedals) and there's plenty of wet level to play with (unlike the Boss RE-202 which is a bit quiet imo). The nearest competitor that I've used extensively would be the famous MXR Carbon Copy. I had both the standard issue, then the deluxe version, but I think the DM-2W is a better fit for synth, not as dark and a more pleasant feedback tone.

I am biased though since the original DM-2 was the first pedal I ever bought. That unit sat on top of a whole series of synths starting with the Korg Mono/Poly. I played live with it many times, always fearing I'd mismanage the feedback and blow something up :) The new version seems equally dangerous! Not sure what happened to the OG pedal in the end, I even went on a hunt through some old boxes a few weeks back, but no luck. I'm sure it's out there somewhere still going.

The audio here is just as you see it: The DB-01 going through the DM-2W with no other effects or processing.

[MIX] Techno + Drum and Bass


video upload by Electronisounds Audio

"This is a mix of Techno and DnB tracks. All tracks made by me.
A lot of these tracks are made with Eurorack, other hardware gear and are also LIVE Performances. Late Night Headphone Ear Candy.

There is also a huge AI Art slideshow.
I used an AI Art software called 'MidJourney' to create the HUNDREDS of art pieces.
It took a few days to generate and curate the artwork, again, I put in the hours on this one...
Thanks for checking it out! I hope you enjoy!

Just press play and go about your day, Friends!" WEBSTORE ► https://www.electronisounds.com/

Moog Mavis: Modular Mood (50 custom patches). Sound Demo


video upload by Anton Anru

"Welcome to the soundset for a semi-modular synth Moog Mavis.
It is a collection of 50 patches: 15 Leads, 14 Plucks, 12 Basses, 9 Drones. There is a wide range of timbres inside the pack: simple and complex, dark and aggressive, vintage and modern, noisy/distorted and soft, musical and experimental, harmonic and inharmonic.
📗 Get the soundset: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/moog/

The patches are suitable for many genres: Techno, Ambient, House, Deep, Progressive, Trance, Minimal, IDM, Downtempo, Lounge Chill Out, Electronica, Dark/Noise, Industrial, Breakbeat, Drum and Bass, and others.

The soundset is presented in the form of a PDF-Document, A4 format. Each page contains notes that explain how the patch works, what parameters worth tweaking during the playback, how to develop the timbre during a performance. If you make all the settings consciously and try the things mentioned in the notes, you will learn many things about the synth and discover its true depth.

Each patch has an audio example, it helps to understand how the timbre is supposed to sound.

To recreate these patches, you need up to 8 patch cables. If you are going to use an external keyboard/sequencer, you will also need a stackable cable or a splitter/multiplier. The document includes detailed information about using an external keyboard with CV/Gate outputs.
