Evaton Technologies CLX Dual Eurorack Clock Module Demo

Published on Feb 26, 2016 mylarmelodies

"Skip to 3:26 for demos! From the chap who brought you the RF Nomad, this is the Evaton Technologies CLX dual master clock module. It frees you up from using your precious precious LFO's just for the purpose of firing off your sequencers and so on, but it can do a heck of a lot more than that, courtesy of its two nifty Logic outputs. It's also a dual bass drone oscillator, and you can make polyrhythms and explore other curious interactions when you integrate its four outputs more deeply into a patch. More info and ordering deets are here, friend: http://www.evatontechnologies.com/clx"

"German madness at its best.

Fully expanded Quasimidi Raveolution 309 drum machine synth.

Expanded with all three kits: The Audio hardware expansion, the Synth expansion, and the Drums expansion.

Newest version 3.0 installed.

Brutal and crazy sounds possible with the serious knob functionality on this excellently designed and very hands on interface drum machine synth groovebox.

Almost 40 knobs to twist to mangle and send tracks into space while jamming live. Seriously a great, extremely underrated machine from Quasimidi.

This thing is going to be very collectible in the next few years I am certain of it.

Comes with original Quasimidi AC adapter, Manual, and all expansions preloaded and ready to go.

One button cap missing but button still 100% working perfectly, easily clicked. All knobs, buttons, etc working 100%."

"Presets in the form of 3 cardboard overlays! These have been marked by the previous owner/band (see pic)

Cosmetically, in great shape - most notable wear is to the wooden ends & some scratches to the rear panel

Previous owner had this serviced a couple of years ago - new power supply was fitted & everything checked

All the functions of this organ synth operate superbly - all but one control knob are noiseless, keys are great

Organ & synth have independent outputs and can be blended using their volume controls & organ drawbars"

Twisted Electrons Brings the Ay3 to Eurorack

Ay3 Eurorack Module Overview Published on Feb 26, 2016 Twisted Electrons

via Twisted Electrons where you'll find addition details and audio demos.

"The AY-3-8912 is a programmable sound generator (PSG) designed by General Instrument at the end of the 1970s.
The AY3 gave voice to the Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Intellivision, AppleII Mockingbird sound card, MSX, Vectrex, ZX Spectrum 128K. Many early 1980s Arcade Games used two AYs; the Gyruss arcade board had five!

The AY3 eurorack module is the perfect solution to capture this piece of history in your rack with its slick & sturdy all-metal design and intuitive controls. The module can be set to 3 clocking modes: normal, Helium (overclocked) and Deep (underclocked), pushing the range of frequencies and sounds to the extreme.

Shakmat Modular Knight's Gallop PreProduction Unit Demo

Published on Feb 26, 2016 Shakmat Modular

"The Knight's Gallop is a dual output trigger sequences generator with a lot of features and designed for polyrythms. The sequences are based on tables created according to algorithms such as the Euclidean one.

Output 1 is reading directly the tables and is generating a sequence according to the length and pulse values, exactly like in a classic euclidean sequencer. There're five kinds of tables with different rythmic flavours.

Output 2 is generating a different sequence based on the tables but also on the mode and the sub mode (5 modes and up to 4 sub modes per mode).

Five different feelings of grooves combined to the many ways of processing it gives you a ridiculously high number of polyrythm combinations, way more than the number of patterns available in a classic 16 steps Euclidean generator.

So here's a list of features :
• Variable length sequences (up to 16 steps)
• Length and Pulse amount potentiometers and CV inputs
• Shift + & Shift - buttons allowing to shift the sequence forward and backward
• Main mode (MN) providing a lot of utlity modes for the second output : reset, no shift, invert and reverse
• Compute mode (CP) calculating associated sequences for the second output delivering very musical polyrythms
• Random mode (RD) adding randomness on the second output, 4 amounts of randomness determined by the sub mode
• Dual mode (DL) allowing to set the two outputs seperatly
• Record mode (RC) turning the Knight's Gallop into a “play your sequence on the buttons and record it” module, in this mode the pulse knob acts as a a mute - fully ccw - and a roll - fully cw.
• Five different kind of tables for five different rythmic feelings (01, 02, 03, 04, 05) : Divider Sequence, Classic Euclidean, Revised Euclidean, Erdos Deep and Divided Sequences.
• User replaceable firmware chip
• Hi-quality Elektron like push buttons
• High quality metal potentiometer with DJTT double rubbered injected knobs
• Skiff friendly (22mm deep)
• 8 HP Wide"

"The C104 Odyssey of Sound VCO has a digital Ring Modulator. The square wave is internally connected to one of the Ring Modulator inputs. The RM out is a copy of the square wave if nothing is connected to the RM input. If we patch other waveforms from the same VCO to the RM input we can get interesting results."

Rhea by Oliver Dodd

http://detund.bandcamp.com/album/rhea

"Someone put me in a box with loose objects and they shook it.

—

There is nothing sexier than a spine that glows in the dark, snaking back and forth with the rise and fall of each hip with each step. Leading the way down a hallway that never seems to end as blinded creatures grasp at bare ankles and reach for their hollowed eyes and scratch at their translucent flesh so full of empty veins. Toothless gaping smiles and harsh whispers that come from deep within the stomach and nowhere from the lungs. Whispers full of bile and acid. Nearly inaudible but felt as they echo through the static of my mind. White noise emphasized by punchy bass that rips my intestines from my body and leaves them trailing behind like breadcrumbs to lead me home.

Occasionally, she stops and convulses in such chaotic spasms that I want to grab her and hold her and shake her hard and slam her against the cement wall as her heeled feet smash the little hands that still scramble to hold her. Push my frigid mouth to hers and breathe whatever air is left.

But then she’s back and all I can see is her glowing spine, lighting up her hair, cropped close, a silver scar, presumably from a razor, shining right in the crevice where the skull meets the neck, my favorite place to rest my nose if she’d let me.

We pass rooms of people. They love her. They cry for her. They scream her name. Rhea. Rhea. Rhea. The murmur moves from mouth to mouth, passed by saliva and hiding in the cracks of one dried mouth and into the next, in the crevices of broken lips and busted mouth. She bites her own and spits blood into their mouths and they are baptized in her unholy holiness and they lick with serpent tongues and they reach for her glowing spine, but she swats their hands and they blindly scatter, drifting and hunching and gliding all at once into corners.

And we continue down the hallway. I follow that spine for an eternity. I feel their claws, their nails bury into my ankles and I know that one day, I will become one of them. One day my flesh will fade and I will be left blue and grasping, murmuring. Rhea. Rhea. Rhea.

EMS SYNTHI KS KEYBOARD SEQUENCER AKS

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This KS is in need of a small amount of work.
It's currently mostly working but exhibiting some odd behaviour.
I'm told by a reliable tech who has repaired several of these that the cost of repair would be unlikely to cost more than £150 GBP.
Seems to be the usual case of replacing chips and caps as far as I can tell.
As you can see, the boards are super clean with no cracks.

I bought an AKS this January and to be honest, it could be the Synthi rather than the KS that has issues but I've no way to tell as I don't have access to another Synthi to check.
this might work perfectly with yours.

It also needs a new cover.
You could have one vacuformed quite cheaply or make something yourself from perspex/abs sheet.
Either way, your KS would be unique!"

Potential eBay Scam?

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

Hi everyone, first off I want to be clear and state that I do not want to become the eBay police, so do not expect to see warning posts like this often. When it comes to eBay always be careful, always buy through the system, communicate quickly, and be careful not to be strung along past time limits for reporting feedback. I was once a victim myself but I won't go into that. Most importantly, if you purchase outside of the eBay system, you will have no recourse through eBay, so be careful trying to skip out on eBay fees.

That said, this comes in via an anonymous reader that I trust. Take a look at this listing for a Roland System 100m SN 0660664. If you look at this previous listing you will note that it was sold and the SN is the same. The seller has four other Roland System 100m modules he is continuing to re-list on eBay after selling. Our anonymous reader was one of the winners and after not receiving communication or confirmation that the item shipped for weeks he gave up. He suspects that the seller lists the item and makes off with money from sellers who cant figure out how to get ebay to refund them.

Please note this could be a fluke circumstance with our reader and this particular seller, but we thought we should at a minimum put a warning up hear for any readers that may have a similar experience. Just don't wait on this one if you bid and win.

The "Drippy Trippy" Epoch Modular Twin Peaks Filter

Published on Feb 25, 2016 Derek Morton

"Watch an XAOC Quad LFO modulate this highly resonant Epoch Modular Twin Peaks. It is important to note that the nothing is getting patched to the Audio Input of this filter and you are hearing the output of the filter without any FX or additional processing.

On occasion, I plug the output of a Benjolin into the Twin Peak's 1V/Oct input to demonstrate how you can dramatically modulate the filter tracking.

It's also a collection of 340 micro samples (pieces of electric charges, of liquid flows, of wood and metallic impacts ). RUIDOZ is organized with a step sequencer that triggers one sound on every gate events. Nothing new here, apart that when the random mode is enable, this process creates an interesting flux of sample changes. All is ready for producing original glitchy beats, noisy percussions rhythms and either soundscapes, HUD sounds, semi harmonic phrases and mechanical riffs.

AETØNZ, a virtual sampler synth for playing poly harmonic textures. This hybrid sampler is a collection of 114 tones of various electronic and acoustic instruments. AETØNZ lets you create new keyboard sets with subliminal background textures.

Play further notes in scale, you get random combination of textures that stay in tune. The sound is moving .. but the harmony is still. Sometime it sounds weird, sometime it generates rich atmospheres .. you will always get something different.
