Jamuary n.03 | Novation Peaks into Beads | Eurorack and Synthesizer 📻

video upload by Andrea Marzilli

"I absolutely love Novation Peak.
This AWESOME synth is able to create any sound I think of.

In this jam, a very simple loop is previously recorded, and then played, into Beads, who is modulating itself using its brilliant attenurandomizers.
Then the magic.
I played some chords with the Peak using its nice sounding reverb (and delay too) to create a dreamy soundscape.
In Ableton I simulated a cassette recorder with my beloved SketchCassette plugin.

So we just have to listen.

Please wear headphones for the best quality. 🎧

(I've recently noticed some 'sample rate errors', such as high frequency pops and glitches. but I like them, I'm sorry not to be sorry..)"

Sound Study: Frippertronics with Novation Peak, Vongon Polyphrase, Chase Bliss Generation Loss Mk2

video upload by Matt Lowery

"An exploration of frippertronics style looping with the Vongon Polyphrase. Sound source is the Novation Peak, which is also being processed by the Chase Bliss Generation Loss Mk2.

This is one of those videos that started off as a short form idea and turned into a longer piece because, well--because I was having fun."

Rough Sequencing Tutorial: Love On A Real Train by Tangerine Dream

video upload by John L Rice

"A friend was asking for advice on sequencing this pattern and this was the easiest/quickest method I came up with. While not perfect it may serve as at least a starting point for anyone who wants to try it themselves?

The basic notes are F, Eb, F, C, F, Bb, C and by turning off certain gates the basic rhythm is created. (Be sure to tune the 'off' steps to the previous note so they are 'tied' together) I used a Moon Modular 569 sequencer but any 16 step sequencer could work.

Additional rhythmic motion is created by adding audio delays. I used a couple Strymon Engineering pedals (Timeline and BigSky)"

Module Spotlight 1: stschoen's Ding v1.1

The subject of the first Module Spotlight is Audulus user stschoen's Ding v1.1. Here is his description of the module from his forum post:

This is a bell simulator based on physical modeling. It uses a series of resonant low-pass filters tuned to the partials measured from one of the bells in Winchester cathedral. The module is excited by a pulse on the gate input. There are controls for the pitch, detuning, decay rate and tone. It can be used as a pitched voice by using an external 1 per octave input (o) with the pitch and detune controls set to center. The module features a stereo output created by panning the partials with a pair of LFOs. This one is a bit heavy on CPU because of the filters but I really like the sound.

The patch is called 'Coral' by Mark Boyd aka Bimini Road, and available on the Audulus forum as well."

Viktor Weimer has been creating patches for the u-he range for some years, and Urs Heckmann of course is where the company takes its name and is the chief architect of their range.

The patches were created in Hive 2.1 -the .1 being after Urs added some extra features to Hive to allow for more creative sound design. Specifically in the filter types plus a few other features.
