After Later Audio CLOVERLEAF: Intellijel Case Interface

video upload by After Later Audio

"Cloverleaf is an interface for the case 1/4" jacks in Intelljel cases. The jacks are marked as if they are part of the case, so the jacks marked out, require an input. I know it's confusing, but my brain just may be a little backwards.

The module sports both input and output for either a consumer line level (0.447Vpk) or a professional line level (1.095Vpk). These levels are controllable via jumper on the back of the module. It can also have a single input and output channel switched to pedal level. The case output is fed to the headphone amp that has a corresponding level control. The module otherwise does not have any level control and relies on using a VCA or other module to perform any level controls.

The module can essentially be run in one of three modes:

1) Stereo line level in and out

2) Stereo line level in and out via the left side and mono pedal in and out on the right side. In this mode the stereo line levels leverage TRS on the 1/4" jacks. You can use the included 3.5mm couplers to get TRS on the 3.5mm side.

3) Mono line level in and out via the left side and mono pedal in and out on the right side.

For Palette 64hp users only have two 1/4" jacks. You can choose if you want to use the case jacks as either inputs, outputs, or one input and one output."

New kNoB technology ARLPG active resonant LPG Eurorack Module

Demo track video upload by kNoB Technology

"ARLPG is an active resonant LPG of the dream
This is just a little music demo, the bass part is based on the sound of the ARLPG
SAW wave from VCO + ARLPG and sidechain in the track.

Active Resonant Low Pass Gate

ARLPG is an active resonant LPG of the dream
This is an active resonant filter 12db\oct based on vactrols.

When creating it, I had a goal to make a compact and powerful tool for filtering signals. First thing - I tried to keep the bouncy sound of great-grandfather in the face 292, the second thing is to add a completely new resonance circuit, also driven by vactrols, in which the resonance would have a large amplitude at medium and low frequencies and decrease towards high frequencies, in order to avoid the frequent case of uneven auditory perception of a high level of resonance.

The REG (regeneration) knob was also added, which gives additional functions, at the minimum value of this knob, the filter does not color the signal, and works like a VCA, as well as reducing the attenuation of vactrols, at intermediate values it reduces low frequencies in the resonance circuit and allows you to finetune both the character of the resonance and the sound of the filter.

The filter has two operating modes HP and LP.
By voltage, you can control the cutoff frequency and resonance.
Like any good LPG, ARLPG is very friendly to gate signal management, since vactrols have their own natural release, which depends on the time and duration of exposure.

Device inputs and outputs
IN - audio signal input in ARLPG
OUT - audio signal output from ARLPG
Freq - CV input for filter cutoff frequency control
Res- CV input for filter resonance contro

DOUBLE- MODULAR AMBIENT [ ZOIA EUROBURO - DECKARD'S VOICE - BATUMI - DISTING MK4 ]

video upload by leonardoworx

"In this patch i made a double sequencer, on the amazing Zoia Euroburo, with probability, ratcheting and polyrythms. The sequenced voices are the Deckard's Voice and the Disting MK4 OSC.
Zoia also sends clock to Xaoc Batumi (that modulate various parameters on both voices) and process audio adding a PingPong Delay and GhostVerb.
So, in a small case, like an 84 hp, thanks to the Zoia Euroburo, you can achieve really complex results (and the effects section is stunning).
Hope you like!"

SynthPlex 22: Shear Relic OB Inspired Poly Is Back!

video upload by sonicstate

It's goes to 11.

"Some time back, we spoke to a young guy: Jacob Brashears (still in college) who was working on an Oberheim inspired analogue poly synth. At the time it was very inspiring and great to see some talent coming up. Then it went quiet. I mean a lot has happened since then right?
Jacob has finished school, now is working on bringing his vision to life. It's also acquired another couple of voices, so probably should be called the Relic 8 now..

Jacob has a pre-production prototype form and it's a lovely looking thing with a lot of really neat (and expensive looking) UI ideas.

Sadly we can't listen to it yet, as the semiconductor shortages have meant that they haven't been able to get it quite ready. The hardware is pretty much done, it's just now the software and auto calibration - which as we know is a non-trivial job in itself.

It's clear that he has been living and breathing this instrument for years and has really immersed himself in it's production. We really hope he can bring it to fruition in the planned timeframe which is going to be March 2023 for a limited production run. With more to come.
The shearelectronics.com website needs updating, but you can still email them if you are interested in this machine at relic at shearelectronics.com."

SynthPlex 2022 - Gamechanger Audio Motorsynth MKII Is Shipping

video upload by sonicstate

"The Motor Synth from Gamechanger Audio has always been a crowd pleaser, since we first saw it at 2017 Winter NAMM. Its a really unusual electro-mechanical way to generate audio - using stepper motors and optical readouts to make oscillators. Its got a unique sound and looks great.

The MKII which we saw in prototype at Superbooth earlier this year, is now ready and shipping, we got a demo of a recent patch from Tom at the booth.

Price €2726"

SynthPlex 2022: Update - GPU Audio - New Synth plug-in to run on your Graphics Card

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to GPU Audio at NAMM where it was the biggest video of the show. You folks have a great interest in what they are developing which harnesses the power of your GPU, typically under-utilised high speed processing, and use it for processing audio.

Yep they are a sponsor of our show coverage, but they are also really pushing the boundaries of what can be done with the GPU in your computer.

We caught up Jonathan to talk beta plug-in release, AMD GPU support, Apple silicon support, and got a concept preview of a new GPU powered synthesizer they are working on. Its called Major and has a lot features - or will have - its currently being developed.

SynthPlex 2022 - Embodme Erae Multi-touch controller

video upload by sonicstate

"The Erae Touch from Embodme has slipped under our radar somewhat, as we've not seen it in the flesh before. We had a look at the unit at Synthplex and saw that there are some pretty cool features, using the large backlit control surface for some nifty interface chops. They've also managed to get the response time right down that makes it possible to trigger the completely configurable playing surface with sticks.

It puts us in mind of the Jazz Mutant Lemur crossed with the Roli blocks. Its fully MPE compatible and has an editor enabling user configurations aplenty.

Its in production and can be found at https://www.embodme.com/erae-product-... for order (3 weeks lead time). Price €700"
