Introducing Pamela's PRO Workout - ALM034

video upload by ALM TV

"Announcing ALM034 - ‘Pamela’s PRO Workout’ - New classes have started! The next evolution of Pam is here..

’Pamela’s PRO Workout’ is a compact programmable clocked modulation source providing 8 highly editable outputs that can produce everything from simple clocked triggers and complex rhythmic wave forms to quantised melodic patterns, random chaos and more, all correlated and synced to a BPM based master clock.

Building on the original ’Pamela’s Workout’ & ’Pamela’s NEW Workout’ the evolved ’PRO’ Pam maintains the precursors' form factor and intuitive workflow but improves and adds many new features with upgraded hardware, more CV inputs, a new full colour hi res display and rewritten software adding many new enhancements like micro grid timings and cross output modulations.

ALM Busy Circuits has been creating incredible eurorack modules for the last 10 years, and on the eve of their birthday they give back with the unveiling of Pamela's Pro Workout!"

Originally released in 2012 and updated to ’Pamela’s NEW Workout’ in 2016, the next evolution of Pam, the ‘PRO Workout edition’ will be released by ALM Busy Circuits on the 18th November 2022 worldwide.

Over the last 10 years Pamela’s Workout has cemented its place in Eurorack systems as a must have unique module. Originating as a useful 8 channel clock & function generator it quickly morphed into so much more; a groove box capable of creating Euclidean & randomised rhythms, a generative music maker turning random control voltages into looped quantised melodies or endless generative melodic sequences. A lot of functions that attracted people to Eurorack were accessible in a compact 8HP ‘Swiss Army knife’ - hence its appeal.

With ‘Pamela’s PRO Workout‘ ALM have built on the original designs maintaining the functional form factor and intuitive workflow adding exciting new features:

A Bigger Hi-Res Full Colour Display: Clearer user interface, visual grids, bigger text, colour options and more.

New Wave shapes: Ratchets, Trapezoid, Parabola & 2 new envelope options.

Cross Output Modulations: Link 2 outputs together to create a unique mix of control voltage for resetting, logic functions & creating unique waveforms.

Flex Operations: Utilise ‘micro grid timings’ to create bouncing ball type beat loops, sped up / slowed down outputs or just general chaos.

More CV Inputs: Up to 4 inputs now available for CV control over Pam’s functionality.

Faster dual core processing: with increased timing and output resolution

Bastl Pizza v1.1 - Full Video Manual and Example Patches

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"Bastl have just released the first major firmware upgrade for their digital VCO: Pizza.

The Pizza from Bastl is a flexible and cool sounding digital VCO based around FM (phase modulation) with variable wave shapes, ring modulation and wave folding. Beneath its simple interface, it is a module that urges you to approach it from many different angles to explore its surprising depth.

In this video I have attempted to create a comprehensive video manual, followed by a selection of example patches, showing the module in a wide variety of guises.

Transparency notice: This module was provided to me by Bastl for free. They have not asked for and have not been given any editorial oversight for this video and I have not been otherwise paid for making this video.

Arturia Minifreak - Feature Overview and 3 Patches from Scratch!

video upload by Oscillator Sink

"The biggest little synth has arrived! The Minifreak is the grown-up and expanded sibling of the Microfreak, taking everything that made the Microfreak so compelling and adding *more of everything*.

In this video I provide an overview of the Minifreak's features and then get right into exploring them by way of building 3, very different, patches from scratch.

addendum - I say it's 8 voice polyphony in the video, that's incorrect, it's 6.

Drumlogue - My First 3 Beats
video upload by Oscillator Sink

"Here are my first 3 beats made with the Drumlogue. Any saturation or compression you hear is coming from the Drumlogue itself - the only processing applied in post is some very gentle shelving EQ on the master bus and a master limiter to bring up the overall volume (which is hardly doing any work, just catching the occasional volume spike.

Beat 1 is probably the most conventional of the 3 beats, using most of the tracks "normally" - of interest though is the "bell/piano" riff which plays at the start (and through much of the track) which is actually the High Tom analogue track, essentially "pinging" the filter with the resonance nearly maxed out. The bass synth part is the Multi channel in VPM mode for some FM-like goodness. The master track is set to compressor mode and set very very aggressively, but then dialed back with the wet/dry control for parallel compression fattening action.

Beat 2 is an exploration of distortion with distortion and bit-crushing on most of the tracks, and the boost Master effect providing even more grit. I've also routed the reverb and delay into the Master effect so that the can both contribute to the texture; this is why the kick sounds like an explosion. The 'windy' synth line is the Noise Multi Engine mode

Beat 3 was an experiment to see how sliced beats might be able to be handled. Obviously the slices had to be prepared outside of the Drumlogue, but once that was done, importing them and sequencing the slices using motion sequencing on the sample tracks was easy enough. I'm using two sample tracks here - one set up just to handle kicks and the other set up polymetrically with lots of probability to handle everything else. The two sample tracks are set up as a choke group so that the kick samples always cuts into whatever the other one it doing. The Master effect is set up to do big pumping compression, side-chained to the kick (which is bypassing the compressor). The acidic bassline is the Nano user oscillator type on the Multi channel.

LoFi Future Analog Glitch FX Processor (19" rackmount)

video upload by LoFiFuture

"Available to order here: https://lofifuturestore.square.site/p...

This unit is the result of 2 years of development. It is an analog glitch FX processor based around an original video enhancer circuit.

This unit is a prototype of a new glitch processor circuit that we will be releasing in euro rack / desktop format in early 2023.

The core circuit features a sharpness control, a chroma/saturation control and a contrast fader. Added onto this core circuit are 7 separate circuit bends (effects) each one has its own distinctive effect and can be combined with each other. The contrast fader has a significant effect on how each circuit bend behaves so it can be used as somewhat of an effects crossfader.

As the contrast fader changes the appearance of all of the circuit bent effects it also has an audio reactive circuit that can control it so and of the 7 circuit bends can be synced to audio. The audio reactive circuit features a 3.5mm line input, an internal microphone (on the rear) and a decay length switch (to switch from short to long decay)

It features a composite input and output that supports both PAL and NTSC signals

The unit requires a 12V DC power supply"

"This synthesizer is in amazing condition, with just a few cosmetic flaws. Insanely clean, looks as if it's a just a few years old, not nearly 40! The previous owner used a small amount of yellow paint to mark settings, not super noticeable. Keys are super white and everything functions as expected. Fully calibrated and tuned for optimal playability.

Includes matching mod grip, original manual and a new Roland branded power supply."

"This 191 system is fully functioning and sounds great! I'll be ultra-critical here in my description, as I know I'd want another seller to be as well.

The unit is missing the back panel on one of the modules (the 112). It has been this way since I purchased it back in 2010. Of course, this doesn't affect functionality in any way, but the back is exposed on this module.. I was going to have a back panel fabricated, but never got around to this. There are metalwork people who can do this online.

There is rack rash on top of the unit as seen in the photos. There's a small nick on one of the wooden sides on the 191 case. The sliders on the 150 module are slightly askew for the Clock Rate and the Lag Time, which can be put back into place -- I just never had the immediate need to correct this aesthetic! They work great.

The system functions beautifully and sounds awesome! It's a real System 100m, so you know what you're getting there. It has the lesser-seen 180 keyboard, which is rare in its own right, as well as the 191 case as opposed to the typical 191J."
