Raul's World of Synths presents PATCH IT- "The Intermission Patch"
Raul Pena uploaded a new video, as some kind intermezzo between his Doepfer A-144 Morphing Controller/ Waveshaper Video videos. (4 parts in total)
Video 1: Raul's World of Synths presents PATCH IT- "The Intermission Patch"
" A multi-part segment of improvised patching. "The Intermission Patch" is aptly named due to it acting as an intermission during the regularly scheduled Doepfer A144 series. Stay tuned for a completed version later this month. For now some patching."

Critter & Guitari Melody Mill Eurorack Note Generation Module
Critter & Guitari announced their first Eurorack module, the Melody Mill today.
" The Critter & Guitari Melody Mill is a note generation module for Eurorack modular synthesizers.
" The Critter & Guitari Melody Mill is a note generation module for Eurorack modular synthesizers.
It contains a keyboard, CV outputs, CV clock input, built-in arpeggiators, a sequencer, and MIDI capabilities.
 |
| Critter & Guitari Melody Mill |
With the Melody Mill you can:
- Use the CV output to control oscillators
- Connect your MIDI controller or computer into your modular setup using the MIDI input
- Play notes, record and playback sequences and arpeggios on your favorite modules
- Convert MIDI clock into CV pulses
- Clock the arpeggiator with an LFO for strange melodies
- 'Hold' notes for drones
- Connect the built-in square wave oscillator directly to a filter or an amp
The Melody Mill generates 1-Volt per octave, trigger, and gate control voltages.
These signals are used to trigger other synthesizer modules.

The Melody Mill generates 1-Volt per octave, trigger, and gate control voltages.
These signals are used to trigger other synthesizer modules.
Notes may be played on the built-in keyboard or received via MIDI.
The notes may be used directly to generate the CV signals, or fed through one of the five arpeggiator modes first.
The notes may be used directly to generate the CV signals, or fed through one of the five arpeggiator modes first.
Adding to the fun is a hold button and a simple sequencer to record and playback notes.
In addition to the CV outputs, the Melody Mill also outputs MIDI of the note it is generating.
A ‘smart’ arpeggiator clock selects a clock source depending on what is connected to the Melody Mill: CV clock input, MIDI clock, or internal clock (controlled by the 'Rate' knob)."
I really like the idea of such a module and also the wooden look of the buttons. i hope we'll see some videos of it soon...
The module is shipping now and can be yours for 360 USD

| Gieskes Euroboy Eurorack module |
His latest creation is a Eurorack module that is based on, and controlled by a Nintendo Gameboy device and was presented at the Europe in 8 Bits festival in Amsterdam last weekend, where he also showed some other designs and installations.
As always you can find the schematics of this module on his website HERE
He uploaded a few videos that show off the functionality. Enjoy!

QU-Bit Electronix Nebulæ
QU-Bit Electronix is a new Eurorack modular synthesizer company based in North America founded by Andrew Ikenberry and Jason Lim.
They love open source hardware/software, and put their knowledge together to create this first QU-Bit module, the Nebulæ.
Nebulæ is an audio file player/granular oscillator in the Eurorack modular synthesizer format.
They love open source hardware/software, and put their knowledge together to create this first QU-Bit module, the Nebulæ.
 |
| QU-Bit Nebulæ module |
It uses sound files to create loops, melodies, granular clouds, drones, pads and any sound recorded audio is capable of generating.
It comes with 1 GB of royalty free samples recorded and mastered specifically for Nebulæ.
Main features:
- Plays .wav, .aif, .flac , and .ogg files from a USB device- No naming convention for files
- Independent control of pitch and speed
- 1 V/oct pitch tracking
- MIDI control over all parameters
- DSP engine by Csound ( Csound is a C-Based Audio Programming Language) http://www.csounds.com/
- Looping / one shot capabilities

The Nebulæ looks like a pretty awesome and flexible module to me, especially with the easy file-import via USB.
It can be yours for USD 429.00
They are now (december 6) accepting a limited number of pre orders on the site (http://www.qubitelectronix.com/) and anticipate to start shipping in mid to late December.

Random Video: Cardio Bass & Respiration Synth by Ukrets
Mark Mennings (@sensien) brought this next video to my attention.
A nice example of biorythmic/posture control of a doepfer modular.
Video: Cardio Bass & Respiration Synth
" Ukrets uses the ephysm.us biomusic performance and authoring platform. Performed by the Holminid with synthesis by Sensien, using a modular analogue synth. Everything is generated from live biosignals and postures, except the obligatory 808 kick that was added for structural support. The track consists of two patches recorded in succession, mixed without any further editing or processing. Jaala, Finland, July 2013. http://ephysm.us"
" ...we convert the signals from the wireless sensor belt to OSC, which is then used to create triggers and control ableton. This is converted to CV."
