The Tuesday Night Machines - Experimental Modular Synth Soundscapes by @Flixxx
A new episode of The Tuesday Night Machines for a change... this one is nice...
Time for some experimental sounds! Felix started with pinging his two Eurorack filters (uVCF & Voice of Saturn) and went patching from there.
Time for some experimental sounds! Felix started with pinging his two Eurorack filters (uVCF & Voice of Saturn) and went patching from there.
The Vermona DRM-1 drum synth is routed through the Kaoss Pad Quad and sequenced with the MPC 1000.
The rest of the sounds are from the modulars doing their own thing, while only receiving the MPC's clock.
" Pinging filters, grain-shifting drums, droning drones and making whale sounds with the analog modular synthesizers :)
MORE INFO:
Gear used in this video:
- Eurorack Modular Synthesizer (with Vermona qMi, Klangbau DCO, Malekko Wiard Anti-Oscillator, Intellijel, Koma Kommander, Sound of Shadows, Plague Bearer, Ataraxic Translatron, Voice of Saturn VCF, etc. see: http://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/vi...)
- Anyware Tinysizer (modular synth)
- Vermona DRM-1 mkIII (drum synth)
- Korg Kaoss Pad Quad (drum FX)
- Akai MPC 1000 (MIDI sequencer & Clock)
- Zoom R16 (recording & mastering)
Filmed with a Canon EOS 550D (Rebel t2i) and a GoPro HD Hero 1.

LCF Industries Arp-8 Eurorack Arpeggiator
 |
| LCF Industries Arp-8 prototype |
Price and availability are still unknown, but the features are pretty impressive...
" Something was missing from my growing modular. I couldn't figure out what it was. Then after playing with a Polysix for a while it hit me; An arpeggiator!
So using the MIDI-CV Converter I made, I started playing around with the code a bit. And then a couple of hours later I came up with a pretty decent arpeggiator. It didn't have much control (only the two switches) but it worked! So the next step was to expand on it but still keep it as small as possible.
Octave knob: Selects between a 1-4 octave range
Rate knob: If synced with a MIDI clock, it will divide the tempo accordingly; 1-1
1-2
1-4
1-8
1-8T
1-16
1-16T
1-32
V/Octave Out
Hz/Volt Out
Gate Out
Clk In: Bypasses MIDI-clock messages and uses an external clock source.
Directional switch: Up, Down, Up/Down
Sync Switch: If no external clock source is available (MIDI or analog), flipping to the FREE position will prompt it to use it's own internal clock. Use the Rate knob to increase the speed.
Arp / Mono Switch: Turns the arpeggiator into a simple single-channel MIDI-CV converter."

Twisted Electrons Octopus Eurorack CV Sequencer Module Preview
Twisted Electrons has been a relatively unknown brand on the hardware market, so far they only released a bunch of apps and the (hardware) AY3 synth for chip-tune music based on the AY8912 from vintage machines.
Now it looks like they are getting into Eurorack with their new Octopus CV Sequencer module.
They uploaded this video preview today, but there's not much info yet.
It looks nice, i hope i can add the details soon...

Build a Modular Synth in seven months! by @ScorbieUK
Scorbie built an impressive modular in just 7 months, and in this video he shows the result.
Video: Build a Modular Synth in seven months!
" After seeing the modular documentary I Dream Of Wires, I decided back in September of 2013 I wanted to get one.
Midlife crisis. Yep. And it f*cking rules!"
Almost 25 minutes of modular goodness...
Video: Build a Modular Synth in seven months!
" After seeing the modular documentary I Dream Of Wires, I decided back in September of 2013 I wanted to get one.
After months of obsessing and invaluable help from a few friends and people in the modular underworld, my first case is just about complete.
Even building my own now!
Rick Holt of Frequency Central & Rickard Steffensen from Sweden have been incredibly patient and supportive and I will forever be grateful.
Made a couple really good friends.
Visit frequencycentral.co.uk and look up Steffensen on Muffwiggler.com.
Small manufacturers who's modules are better than most of the well known makes out there.
In the case:
Frequency Central: System X VCO, Waverider DVCO, Electro Cardiogram Filter, Vogue Filter, Multipoles, Waverunner LFO, Continuum Phase Shifter, Trans Europa, Raging Bull* & System X S&H/Noise* (* DIY build soon).
Steffensen: Oscillarp (X2) and Envelarp ADSR (based on ARP2600).
Doepfer: A140 ADSR, A180 Multiples, A147 VCLFO, A106 Xtreme Filter, A138 Mixer.
Oakley Classic VCA, Tiptop Z3000, Make Noise Maths, Pittsburg MIDI2 and a few more bits to build including 4 ARP Odyssey VCOs and an ARP2600 12db LPF.
I've DIY'd all of the Frequency Central and Steffensen modules in the case. About two rows worth.
Didn't know how to solder seven months ago, let alone understand a schematic or what a resistor was. :)
