NAMM 2023 Endlesss Beat Machine - Jam on Arcade Machine

video upload by sonicstate

Follow-up to: FL Studio Arcade Machine.

Also see Endlesss launches Endlesss Studio - Cross Device & Cross Collaboration Music Making Platform

"Endlesss Studio, the company behind the collaborative music-making platform, Endlesss, showcased the world's first beat-making arcade machine at NAMM 2023. MJ, an Endlesss user, initially proposed the idea of having an arcade machine for beat-making, and Endlesss Studio took his prototype and developed it into the fifth iteration of the beat-making arcade machine. The hardware and software have undergone significant improvements, and the machine runs on a Windows PC with plugins, including nature instruments and massive. The arcade machine has a scripting engine, enabling the creation of custom sampler and plug-in support.

The Endlesss beat-making arcade machine is perfect for real-time collaborative music production, as it runs on the Endless platform, allowing users to interact with others from all over the world. The arcade machine is only the beginning of the beat machine, as Endlesss Studio is about to announce a custom sampler, which allows users to build their own sample packs inside Endless. Furthermore, the arcade machine has a public jam feature where users can find people to collaborate with globally.

Finally, the Endlesss beat-making arcade machine provides users with the ability to log in to any device with their ID, as their creative tools are tied to their ID, rather than the device itself. This feature allows users to build their own sample packs and have access to them on any device they log in to. More information on the Endless beat-making arcade machine can be found on the Endlesss Studio website.

NAMM 2023: Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave

video upload by CatSynth TV

"A demo of 3rd Wave, a new synthesizer from Groove Synthesis that can emulate the sound and behavior of the infamous PPG Wave synthesizers of the 1980s as well as more modern wavetable synthesis.

To find out more, please visit https://www.groovesynthesis.com/

'The 3rd Wave is a powerhouse wavetable synth with 24-voice polyphony and 4-part multi-timbral capability that’s like having four independent synthesizers at your fingerprints.

Each of its 3 oscillators per voice can be

- A classic PPG-era wavetable
- A high-resolution complex wavetable
- An analog-modeled waveform'

Low-Gain Electronics - VCA / Comp module first tests.

video upload by LowGainElectronics

"Playing around with the new VCA/Comp. 95% bug free. Will require a quick pcb revision but overall happy with this performance. This patch is showing the triangle out of the LGE130 tri core vco into the -IN on the comparator with output of onside of the LGE114 Dual Slopes Compact. Acting as a triangle to square wave converter with PWM. Output of Comparator into VCA above being controlled by second half of Dual Slopes Compact. Nothing fancy. Just some fun / fat PWM rhythms!"

"Using the Facehugger function generator to control multiple instruments simultaneously.

• Facehugger Out is sent through a buffered multiple to the desktop Infernal Noise Machine VCO Tune CV input for the lead, and to the Choices joystick Y-axis In,
• Choices Y Out to Parasite Antifilter Low Q CV input for the bassline and squealing.
• Choices X Out to Facehugger Root CV input, shifting the patterns up or down.
• Finally, INM Out through Sound of Shadows PT2399 delay.

New Sibilla Stereo Digital Oscillator Eurorack Module from Clatters Machines

video upload by Clatters Machines

"Clatters Machines moves mountains with Sibilla stereo digital oscillator module acting as an ever-evolving sound machine for soundscapes, melodies, and drones

SAN BENEDETTO DEL TRONTO, ITALY: small town lovers of music and electronic instruments Clatters Machines is proud to announce (website-only) availability of its Sibilla stereo digital oscillator — translating the beauty and harshness of a semi-barren mountain into a 10HP Eurorack module that sculpts sound with various saw and sine waves running through intricate delay networks altered by LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators) and white noise to create constructive and destructive interferences, enabling ever-evolving soundscapes that can be both droning and/or melodic in nature — as of April 15…

Inspired by a mountain, designed by the sea. So few words, with so much meaning; those eight words that so subtly make an appearance on the Sibilla module’s rear represent its backstory, what inspired its creators, and where they are based. But, for clarity’s sake, the company collectively calls it: An ever-evolving sound machine for soundscapes, melodies, and drones.

It is fair to say, though, that there is more to that Sibilla backstory than meets the eye. “Living by the sea can be peaceful and inspiring, but also quite stressful as the tourist season reaches its peak and, all of a sudden, a small town doubles its number of citizens,” continues Clatters Machines Co-founder, engineer, electronic designer Michelangelo Nasso. “Those are the moments in which we’re constantly looking for air and a new space that is able to inspire us while calming our nerves! Luckily, we live in a weird region in which a 40-minute drive means the difference between swimming in the sea and hiking at 2000m above sea level, surrounded by semi-barren lands which actually make you forget for a moment that you’re still on planet Earth. One of those magical places is called Monte Sibilla — Sibella Mountain, and our new module tries to pay tribute to it.”

As a stereo digital oscillator, Sibilla’s L/M (left/mono) and R (right) channels are the output stages of two audio feedback loops, each of which is made up of a main sub-sinusoidal wave oscillator and two saw and sine waves with frequencies affected by the generation of (right-channel) harmonics and (left-channel) sub-harmonics. Saying that, though, all of those waves have different phases with respective offsets constantly affected by minor variations created by two pairs of GRAINS randomly fluctuating within the waves’ amplitude spectrum and being sampled at a certain speed.

Thereafter, the waves meet each other at a so-called ‘common point’ — where everything happens and changes continuously — together with two white noise sources, creating constructive and destructive interferences that are affected constantly by two LFO movements. Moreover, such interferences are then run into a resonant low-pass filter and distributed to four different delay lines from where they are finally fed back into the audio loops at different time intervals, depending on the GRAINS movement.

Making it to Sibilla’s summit as an ever-evolving sound machine for soundscapes, melodies, and drones translated from the beauty and harshness of a semi-barren mountain is destined to be a long-lasting musical journey that is as adventurous as it is inspirational in and of itself."

Update via the comments: "The clip is from 'Rockschool', produced by the BBC from 1983-87...great stuff!:)"
